A Surprise From Eckerds

submitted by vivian

I was sitting with my boyfriend in his pickup truck at a nursery. It was storming outside and we were watching the employees trying to secure the caladiums that were all over the place. Apparently the caladiums were all potted and ready for some holiday coming up. They were really beautiful red flowers with 5 or 6 heads on each plant. I wanted one.

Somehow we stopped off at Eckerds and he ran in for something but was planning to surprise me with a caladium. I could see everything that happened, even though I was waiting out in the vehicle.

There was a huge lobby area and some teenage boys were goofing around demonstrating the latest fad which was body slamming. Two boys would race towards each other and crash into each other as hard as they could.

Basically I ignored the body slamming and was soooo impressed that my boyfriend was thoughtful enough to get me a caladium.
