my favorite flower

Have you ever gone to a corner store intending to buy yourself your favorite flower just because it makes you happy? Have you ever gotten to the counter only to have the man in front of you say, "Oh, you shouldn't have bought me a flower?" Then after explaining you were actually buying the flower for yourself did the man say, "no girl should ever buy a flower for herself" only to plunk the money on the counter? Has that ever happened to you? Well, it happened to me...today...at the corner store...and this is the flower.
