The thing is, my mother once confessed to me that lilies weren’t her favorite flower.

She was fine with them, but she preferred morning glories and sunflowers.

“I have rented a bouncy house water slide for my wife’s 39th birthday.

She has no idea.”

I would do it again ten times over; she deserves the absolute world.”

“I’m NOT colorblind.

When I was very young, I didn’t understand what colorblindness was.

My dad is colorblind, and I thought that automatically meant I was, too.

And apparently, everybody did.

I was maybe in high school before I actually took a test, and I aced it.

Honestly, it’s been a bonding moment with my friends.

So I just haven’t told them, and I’ve kept up the ruse.

We have been working on it together for weeks.

She was so happy and rubbed it in my face (playfully) that he said Mama first.

Even did a little happy dance.

I’ll never tell her.”

All this to say: his shoes are $$$$.

He also grew up poor.

Like the kitchen floor was his bedroom poor.

He stopped being able to find his shoe size in stores before he was in high school.

He even worked fast-food jobs in regular sneakers because he couldn’t find nonslip in his size.

“I won the lottery last month.

I hired a money manager and invested it all.

“My brother bought chickens because his little organic farm was struggling.

Eggs went on sale, crickets.

There was not much business at all.

He was so defeated.

That someone is me.

I buy the eggs.”

“I mixed leftover white and red wine and served it up in a rose bottle.”

“A few years ago, my girlfriend was feeling very sad about turning 32 the next day.

She still brings it up from time to time (three years later).”
