The principle for Day #31 on the 101-day book report says: "Avoid exaggeration. That's just your ego at work."

I like to tell stories here, but today's tale doesn't need any embellishment.

My Mom broke her ankle recently and she's been feeling kind of down. So I sent some flowers to her in Wisconsin and they were supposed to arrive today.

But last night as I was walking home, this fellow in a beanie pulled up with a bouquet of flowers. He seemed lost, checking out the house numbers. Then he stopped and asked me if I would deliver the flowers to the next building so he could remain anonymous.

The girl who answered the door was caught offguard. And I think I'll always remember how touched she looked as she asked if the flower man was still around. I told her he sounded like a sweet guy and I went on my way.

As for me, I didn't get to see the look on my Mom's face when her flowers arrived. Or maybe I did.
