Flowers for me???

Thought this was kind of funny and wanted to share. The doorbell rang yesterday afternoon and I looked out to find UPS leaving and an FTD box on our front porch. I thought, Wow flowers for me? I snatched that box up and ripped it open with much enthusiasm. The above is what I found. I thought it was a strange choice. Not that I don't like tulips, but it just didn't seem like something my hubby would pick out. They weren't bloomed and were just kind of ordinary sitting there in the box. I didn't care, I was just excited to get flowers from my hubby for the first time in 10 years. I placed them in a vase and pulled out the card that read, "We love you so much Mom! Happy Mother's Day!" I thought cool they are from Carson, Syd, and Lex. I went on about my business and got to thinking about how odd this was. My hubby is very thoughtful and likes to surprise me, but he never does flowers. So, I went back to look at the box only to discover they were not for me! It was another person's name and our address. I felt horrible that I had helped myself to someone elses flowers. I called FTD and they said they would send more flowers out to the correct address, and that I could of course keep "my flowers". Later that evening my hubby was outside when a man showed up looking for his wife's flowers. I guess they were able to find out the address that they were sent to once the flowers did not arrive. My hubby explained and told him what I had found out from FTD. Oh well, maybe next year.
