This joke probably sounded better in your head, didn't it? :)

On a side note, I find that the 1st comment usually gets either a bunch of haters or a completely new thread that has nothing to do with anything.

#15, he isn't even #1 anyways, technically. He's poster #2.

#2, maybe "petal to the meddle" could be considered whimsically amusing.

^#2 is actually the 2nd commenter. Therefore, there was even a worse one before this one. Oh, the possibilities! OP, your dad sounds like a prick for taking credit for something nice he didn't do. And your mom is just as horrible for laughing at you. When your guy comes around, have him mention the flowers he got you. Such as, "Did you like the bouquet of flowers I left for you? I was told they are your favorite color."

#14, No, it sounded just as retarded in my head actually, and i accept my dislikes accordingly.

Oh dear, I*

I don't think they did. I could be wrong, but it seems to me that their dad gave them to the mom.

#3, you're right. It's the thought that counts.

Actually it appears that the dad gave them to their mom. Might want to re-read the fml.

I think what #3 meant is that at least someone likes OP enough to give them flowers in the first place. They'll probably be in a vase in the front room or hall etc anyway, so she can still get to see them and know that they were meant for her.

11 & 23, YOU might want to re-read the FML. the flowers were for OP but the dad took them to make it look like he did something nice for the mother.

44 that's what I was saying. I guess I should have been clearer.

The dad undoubtedly tossed the card out, if there was one.

If the parents laughed at the idea of OP getting flowers I don't think there's anything to play along with.
