Every Friday, a florist delivered flowers to Mrs Lee with a card that said, “Still thinking of you.”
After six weeks, the florist asked her husband if he wanted a different message.
“I didn’t order any flowers,” he said.
The florist checked the account. Mrs Lee herself had set up the standing order.
“Should I cancel it?” he asked.
Mr Lee thought for a moment. “No. She seems to enjoy them.”
On Friday he added a card of his own: “I’ve started thinking of you too.”
Mrs Lee called the florist at once. “Who changed my reminder?” she asked. “The flowers were to remind him to water the plants.”
