My daughter received a present at daycare center for me today. which is a duck with paint of soccer ball and a tiny card. The card says "Valentine. You really QUACK me up! Emmitt." I can't tell the meaning. Could anyone please tell me the meaning? And would you correct my broken English? Thanks.

My daughter received a present from her daycare center for me today, which is a duck with a soccer ball and a tiny card. The card says "Valentine. You really QUACK me up! Emmitt." I can't tell what it means. Could someone please tell me the meaning? And would you correct my broken English? Thanks. I’m guessing the valentine card is a play on words and means “Valentine, you really crack me up,” which means “you make me laugh.” Because it’s a duck and ducks say “quack,” they just substituted “quack” for “crack” to be funny.

It's a pun. The expression is "You CRACK me up," which means you make me laugh. CRACK is changed to QUACK because QUACK is the sound a duck makes. It's a silly way of saying, "you are funny." Though Valentine's is a 'romantic' holiday, preschoolers would just have cards that say nice or funny things, not romantic things.

Sorry, I didn't read the earlier answer in full. It is not really related to Valentine's Day, other than maybe it is good if your boyfriend/girlfriend makes you laugh.
