Michael was the only old man I've ever known
who didn't bother to bring flowers to his wife's funeral.
Yes, her casket sits surrounded by field of store bought flowers.
But none were brought by her husband,
Michael.
I wish I understood why.
Michael, why do you keep buying me flowers?
They only die and get the table messy
when their petals fall.
Quit getting me flowers, Michael.
You don't clean this house.
You don't know how hard I've worked
for years to keep this place clean.
Yes, of course I love you.
But quit bringing home flowers.
Michael, you shouldn't have.
You know very well not to go and
pick flowers from the neighbor's garden.
Yes, it is our first date
but you really shouldn't have.
Mother, look what a boy brought me today!
He picked them in the schoolyard.
I think they're beautiful!
Don't you think, mother?
A boy Michael brought me flowers today.
Ah, yes. I wish I understood why Michael didn't
bring his dead wife flowers.
