Do the moms know who they're from?

I know someone who got the same valentine from her sweetie that she got for him. We were wondering what the odds of that happening would be. Any takers from the Math squad?

Well, they may get the cards mixed up now and then while all the excess paint is drying, and sometimes a child may decide someone else's card looks better than theirs, although this attitude is, I am told, vehemently discouraged. I doubt if the mums would be any the wiser though!
Interesting by the way that in the UK we tend to use 'mum' and 'mummy' while in the USA you tend to use 'mom' and 'mommy'. Wonder how that happened.

Stranger still is that I say "mum" and write "mom".

The odds that some couple somewhere would send each other the same valentine's card? I'd say pretty dang close to 1 to 1. Say 1 to 0.999...
