I'm always confused which one to say between "me too" and "you too" as a reply in this kind of situation. Would it be wrong if I say "me too" here like I also want you to have a happy Valentine's Day kind of a thing.
Good question! We use "you too" when we want to return the well wishes or greetings of someone. In this video, somebody says "Happy Valentine's Day" to SpongeBob, so he returns these greetings by saying, "you too." Ex: A: Have a great day! B: You too. Ex: A: You look great today! B: You too! We use "me too" when we want to express agreement or participation with a previous statement. Ex: A: I wish I was on vacation right now. B: Me too. Ex: A: I'm going to get a beer with my lunch. B: Me too.

Is the 's' in "ask children's to explain love" a misspelling by the speaker? I think "ask children to explain love" is the correct phrase.
Yes, it is a mistake on the part of the speaker. I think he wanted to say either "children" or "kids" but ended up saying "childrens" instead. It is incorrect, and the correct sentence is "ask children/kids to explain love." Ex: I want to ask kids for their thoughts about the President. = I want to ask children for their thoughts about the President.
