Waking up to flowers

There is a giveaway going on over at Chased By Children this week. Today she is giving away a $50 gift certificate to FTD. All you have to do is leave a comment about your favorite flower story. I don't have any romantic gushy flower related stories, but I always enjoy a good laugh, so I shared this funny memory:

I will never forget this flower story. I was in middle school and my brother’s girlfriend was in town visiting. She stayed at our house and for some reason my mom had her sleep in my room. Therefore, we set up an extra bed and put my night stand between us on which was a vase of flowers and my alarm clock. Apparently, in the morning when my alarm was going off, I forgot the vase of flowers was there and I completely hit it with my hand sending it right onto my brother’s sleeping girlfriend. She wasn’t sleeping anymore! And their relationship didn’t last much longer after that. I think if I win I should send them to her as a long overdue apology.
