Nails are forever
An exchange between JV and my parents while he was having breakfast with them and without me went something like this.
JV: Do we have time to get flowers before we meet her? It was our anniversary yesterday and she was complaining that I’ve never given her flowers. My ears hurt.
Dad: (shaking his head) Women are so stupid. They like to waste money. Why buy something that is just going to die?
JV: That’s what I told her
Mum: I have been married to him for 34 years and there was only one occasion where he gave me flowers and plastic ones too.
Dad: At least those are everlasting. (Turning to JV) What does the shop next door sell?
JV: Errm, it’s a DIY store.
Dad: Why don’t you get her a packet of nails. At least that will last.
If you have a WTF expression on your face, don’t worry about it because so do I. However, despite his initial reluctance, my dad did drive them to the nearest florist and I received the most beautiful bouquet.
