"I just LOVE these flowers!"

My birthday was yesterday, but since I celebrate it for an entire week, I won't likely write the blog post about it until later tonight or even tomorrow. But there is this one gift I'll tell you about right now.

Shulamith took her 4-year-old son Swen to the grocery store to buy me a present. He had thought he would buy me a Hot Wheels car (a red one because that is my favorite color), but when they passed by the florist kiosk and he saw fresh flowers, he told him mom that was what he wanted to get.

Shulamith: "You want to buy Her flowers for her birthday?"

Swen: "Yes. And when Her sees these flowers, she will say 'Swen! I just LOVE these flowers.'"

So they bought flowers.

When they arrived home, Swen came running into the house, a bouquet of fresh flowers in his hand extended out in front of him, and nearly throwing them in my face, he said, "I got you flowers for your birthday!!"

...to which I immediately replied...

"Swen! I just LOVE these flowers!"

He was right.
