This may be both mundane and pointless to all Dopers out there, but it’s pretty damn important to me right now. And I seek your counsel, both because you may have some great insight and (mostly) because I’m really spazzing. Really.
Here goes.
Last night, my friend and I got in from shopping around midnight. Nothing is amiss on PropertyLuka. My friend leaves at one o’clock, but knocks on the door shortly after he leaves. He’s holding a positively gigantic bouquet of lilies and wild roses - we’re talking an expensive, floral-shop arrangement that’s over two feet tall. No vase, nothing holding them together. “These were in your mailbox,” he says. “But there wasn’t a note.”
“Those weren’t in there earlier,” I say.
“I know,” says he.
Puzzled, I bring them inside and put them in my blender, for lack of any other container large enough to hold them without toppling over. Their presence is disconcerting, so I call my boyfriend. He knows nothing about them (and I do believe him, it’s not like him to do something like this). Fact is, nobody knows anything about them.
Tonight I talk to my boyfriend. “So,” he says, “no evidence from your secret admirer?” I laugh, but go outside and check just to make sure.
There is a bouquet of daisies sticking out of my mailbox.
WTF? I came home tonight a little after midnight, and made a point to glance at my mailbox - there wasn’t anything there then. It’s really beginning to freak me out. I live alone in a big house, and besides, you’d think that this sort of secret-admirer thing would end by the time you’re out of your teens. The fact that I have no idea who is doing this is not helping matters any. Friends of mine think that I’m taking it too seriously and that I should accept the flowers as a flattering gift. whatever.
So, in order to make light of the situation (or help me brainstorm to actually come to the correct answer)…I ask for your conjecture. Who’s leaving them and why? Better yet…am I supposed to start leaving peanut butter cookies in their place?
