Entry FeedOn Tuesday my sons went to church with school to celebrate the Blessed Virgin Mother, since May is the month to celebrate mothers.
Son Two, being in JK, was asked to bring a cut flower to put into a vase as an offering to Mother Mary. Of course I remembered the morning of as I was getting the boys dressed. Luckily, we had some daffodils and tulips blooming the in back. Son Two selected one red and one yellow tulip to cut. Just as my mother did when I took our flowers from home to someone, I wrapped the stems first in a wet paper towel and then in aluminum foil. Off he went.
This morning my mother came by to pick something up. "Oh!" she said, "I guess some else needed flowers for school."
I looked out front - someone has cut all of my tulips from my front yard and taken them! First I have to deal with the thieving squirrels stealing the bulbs in fall, and now this.
I am outraged. I get upset with my children when they pick one little flower off of a flowering bush as we walk home from school. But to come into someone's front yard and cut and steal all of their tulips, that takes an especially big set of balls! What kind of people are there out there? GD TULIP THIEF!
I could hope that it was some poor person who really wanted a gift for their mother for Mother's Day but couldn't afford anything. But I know it's not.
