A Pink Gift

For our wedding anniversary, I bought N a bouquet of pink roses and a huge box of chocolates with all kinds of fruit fillings.

“Can you wrap it in pink paper with a pink bow?” I asked the young man at the counter.

“Sure,” he said. “Who is it for?”

“It’s for my husband,” I explained.

“Where are you from?” he wondered.

“From Ukraine.”

“So is it a tradition in your country to give men flowers?”

“Yes,” I replied, “and they have got to be pink.”

“That’s so cool,” the young man said. “I wish I were from Ukraine.”
