International Tolerance of Populace Ignorance Act notice: TL;DRs are included and underlined.Happy Valentine's Day to everyone who might think they were my valentine this year. I got to pick a valentine for life last year and I love her to death. Two red roses plus a white one made the most perfect present ever. But how did this happen? Because of my wife's excellent communication skills. My wife told me what she wanted for Valentine's Day.
She has always wanted to have a special Valentine's Day. No one has ever given her a rose, and she thought that would be special. Over in my little world, I had no idea about any of this, except for vaguely remembering the time I bought her an orchid while we were dating. I knew she liked flowers, but wasn't planning on getting any. She probably knew this, or at least assumed it, because she very plainly told me, "I want a rose for Valentine's Day." Message received clear as day! I got something better than what she told me.
When I went to the florist, I thought to myself, "How can I make this present even better?" By buying more than one. That way I didn't have to guess on the color (I was debating between red, for Valentine's Day, and white, to remind her of her wedding bouquet) and there would still be an element of surprise in there.
(She told me what she wanted and I got it for her. Everyone was happy.)
