The mother noticed and just smiled because she thought her husband was reminding their son to behave and be a good boy at
party.
The party was fun for everyone that attended, young and old alike. After
presents were opened,
little boy turned to his mother and said, "Mommy, I have a present for you too."
He walked out of
room and returned almost instantly with a gigantic bouquet of daisy flowers. His mother couldn't believe her eyes and she wondered how her little boy could have possibly known that she loved daisies. It was then that she remembered
"father~son" talk earlier in
day. She turned to her husband and asked, "How did you ever remember?"
He smiled and replied, "Your favorite number is 18, you love
color green and pizza is your favorite food, right?" "Right, but you have given me flowers so many times and you have never, not once given me daisies," she continued, "I just thought you had forgotten after so many years."
He just smiled and said, "The moment you told me your favorite flower, I knew our son would give you daisies on his fifth birthday." She looked confused so he continued, " I gave my mother daisies for
first time on
day I turned five too!" "The first time?" she asked. "Yup, my father pulled me aside on
day of my fifth birthday and I have given daisies to my mother every year since."
Now his wife was genuinely shocked. "You have given your mother daisies every year since you have been five?" "Yes, I do it because I love her and I am happy that she is my mother," he answered. With surprise in her voice she asked, "How come you never told me that you did such a thoughtful thing for your mom?" "Simple," he said, "I didn't want to ruin your surprise!"
