Long long ago, me and Jittery Joe started dating. he spend money he could not afford to buy me the most beautiful flowers. I loved the flowers SO much, a dozen perfect red roses. I still have one of the blooms, dried and pressed into a book.
As much as I loved the roses, I told JJ they were sweet, but I wasn't a huge flower fan - I did not want him wasting his money on somehting that would die in a few days, not when he had other things - food, gas, bills, that he needed the money for more.
My lie was made with good intentions. I wanted to help him save money without making him feel like a pauper. But how do you clear up a 1o year lie? We can afford flowers now, but I never get them .... he still thinks I don't like flowers.
I wish I knew about things like wholesale flowers ten years ago. Knowing how to get cheap flowers back then could have resulted in me getting them now!
