Mother's Day Gifts

Everything was perfectly planned. We had the card ready and the flowers were about to arrive anytime.
At 12 am, my brother and I wished my mom "Happy Mother's Day!". My dog was there too. He barked a couple of times. It meant "Happy Mother's Day" or "Can I get some food?"

My Brother had made a Greeting Card. We gave it to her. The moment she saw it, she seemed a little bit shocked, but then she thanked both of us.

I decided to look at the card. It was made from a Newspaper. On one side was news and on the other was a blank sheet stuck with words written.

Happy Mother's Day!
Well... Here you go...
From your Sons.

Both of us are bad at creativity. My Mom thanked us and went to sleep. So did my Dog when he realized he wasn't getting anything to eat.
Anyways, we had ordered for a bouquet of roses. Since the guy at the store couldn't come, my brother's friends volunteered. Weird beard and Mister Boo were more than happy to come over and drop the flowers.
They were supposed to come at twelve. But then, they came a bit later and called my brother on his phone. We went down and the guys kept blinking. Now, blinking meant trouble!

They had brought the bouquet but it was missing many roses.
"Where are all the flowers?"
"Well, as we got out of the store and to the Parking lot, a dog appeared from nowhere and began barking..."
"And?"
"We ran. And while running, dropped the flowers."
"Go on..."
"The dog ate them."

Since, the flowers were part of the Gift, we had to do something. We didn't have any roses in our garden. And plucking other flowers was a big NO! The only place to go was my neighbor's house.
We first planned of sneaking into his backyard. But then we decided to knock and ask. Since it was 12.30 am, that wasn't advisable too. Morning was a good time to come. Mister Boo and Weird Beard left and we both went to sleep.

We dropped by my neighbor's house at 6 am. His wife opened the door.
"Happy Mother's Day!"
"Thank you so much, boys!"
"You're welcome. Can we have a flower? Its a Mother's day gift for Mom."
"Sure. Pick whichever you like."
As we were looking, my neighbor arrived.
"You guys need any help?"
"No thanks. We were here to pick a flower."
We decided to pick two. The guy was still standing next to us. As we left he said, "Didn't you mean a flower? I see you've picked two."
I couldn't think of anything but this, "This one is for you. Happy Mother's day!"
Oh no. Why did I wish him? Anyways, he didn't say a thank you. He kept staring!

As we ran home, the rose decided to fall off his hands and I stamped it. The rose was now off the stick. Getting to my neighbor's house wasn't a wise thing to do after wishing him.
Alternative? Put the rose back. I sellotaped the flower to the stick and we gave it to my Mom. We kept smiling like two tortoises expecting her to ignore the tape. Looks like she did see it. She was happy though. But again shocked...
