One day, on a cozy evening, my wife asked me, “Why have you never surprised me with a bouquet of flowers or even picked me a single flower from any garden?” I smiled and told her, “What’s so special about gifting a flower to a flower?”
She responded with some irritation, not falling for the joke. So, I said, “Well, I could get the loveliest bouquet of flowers for the loveliest flower in my life.” The next day, I went to get her a bouquet, and the seller said it was 200$!
I said, “No way, forget it.” I went to the grocery and got her a variety of vegetables and fruits for the same price. Then, I stopped by the gift shop and found a beautifully wrapped gift paper with flowery pictures on it. I decided to give it to her, and she asked in surprise, “What’s this?”
I smiled and said, “I was going to get you a bouquet of flowers, the seller said it was 200$. So, instead I thought of getting you something useful, especially since you’re pregnant. Nothing’s better than fruits and vegetables to boost your health.”
She uttered a sigh, murmuring, “May God give me patience,” then quietly walked away. She went to cook and ate them all without giving me a bite. I hope she liked it, but no, she treats me with displeasure ever since, and I’m silent and satisfied.
Until today, she went shopping with her friend and I found her with four T-shirts! So, I asked her, “What’s this?” She smiled and said, “I came to buy you a jacket for your birthday. The seller said it was 500$. I honestly felt a loss, although I had money. At the same time, I thought, instead of getting you one thing, I can get you four things that you can gain more benefit from!”
I told her, “But I have a closet full of T-shirts!.” She said, “Well, my fridge was full of vegetables and fruits, and I didn’t say anything!”
