Today, my son gave me some flowers for Mother's Day. Unfortunately, the only time I can enjoy them is when I go into the bathroom where they are kept so the cat doesn't eat them. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I sent a $120 bouquet of flowers for mother's day. When I called tonight see if my Mom got them, she replied that they were still on the doorstep because she "didn't want the dogs to get excited and start barking" when she opened the front door to bring them in. FML
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house to give his mother a box of chocolates and flowers for Mother's Day. She just stared at them and said, "What's this for? You're not my daughter, and never will be. But I'll keep the chocolate." FML
Today, after spending $120 to have a bouquet of flowers delivered to my mom, she called to complain that I had forgotten about her for Mother's day, but also praise my sister for apparently receiving my flowers I sent at the door and passing them off as hers. FML
Today, my Mom came to pay me a short visit at college. She handed me some flowers, which were a Valentine's Day gift, because she "figured I wouldn't be getting any from anyone else this year." FML
Today, I caught my mom eating cat biscuits. We don't have a cat. FML
Today, I got flowers sent to my work, I happily opened them in front of my co-workers thinking they were from my crush, I open the card to see "Love you, from mom". My mother thinks my love life is so pathetic, thats she needs to send me flowers to cheer me up. FML
Today, I leaned back and bumped into one of my mom's plants in the window. The good thing was that I caught it before it fell and shattered. The bad thing was that my mom likes to keep cactii in the window. I can still feel thorns I haven't managed to pluck out yet. FML
Today, I made my mom cookies for Mother's Day. My brother took all the cookies to work as a snack, because I didn't specifically tell him that the homemade "MOM" hearts weren't meant for him. FML
Today, I was in a terrific mood after finding a bouquet of beautiful flowers on my doorstep when I came home. That is, until I recognised the handwriting of my "secret admirer" was the same as my mother's. FML
Today, after I took my mom her favourite wine, a card, and an expensive orchid for her conservatory, and also spent all Saturday afternoon with her and took her out for lunch, what did she post on Facebook? Her disappointment that I didn’t spend Mother’s Day with her on Sunday because I was working. FML

Hey, it's still a nice present, doesn't matter where you are to appreciate them. :)

Would a rose in any other room smell as sweet?

actually your cat is a vegetarian

Think again. Cats are strictly carnivorous and can't digest plants.

Still very sweet...my daughter is allergic to flowers so I have to keep em outside but she still gets them For me every year because she knows I love them. It's awesome to see selfless acts from our kids this day and age. Hope you enjoyed your special day regardless of not being able to see the flowers all the time (:

My cat ate my moms Mother's Day flowers too... It's a bit odd. I have no idea why they seem to enjoy it.

Did they have baby's breath? My cat always tore up bouquets to get ahold of baby's breath. If you get bouquets without it that might help next time.

Our cat carefully pulled the leaves from the tiny vase of flowers from our garden, ate those, and left us an entirely different sort of present. 8p The rest of the vase is now up high where she can't get to it, but we can still see it.
