SECRET ADMIRER?

On the radio show this morning I mentioned something I had read that surprised me. Supposedly, 15% of women in the United States send themselves flowers on Valentine’s Day. I find that a little hard to believe. Not that there would be anything wrong with doing that. Though I would imagine it could lead to some fabrication.

Imagine you’ve sent yourself a dozen roses at your office. The delivery person comes to drop them off. The other folks at work would have a hard time not noticing the beautiful bouquet. As they pass by your desk they can’t help but be curious so they ask the obvious question, “those are so beautiful...who sent them?”

What do you say then?

I was thinking you’d be tempted to lie. I mean, come on, sending yourself flowers is one thing. Admitting you sent yourself flowers...well, I was thinking that would be a bit embarrassing.

Our producer, Mrs. Grant, came up with a way around the need for prevarication in such circumstances.
