The Story of the Valentine Rose

Audrey and Dad with Audrey's rose!

Every year my dad gives Audrey, my mom and I a rose. But this year when my dad came to give me my rose(at school) I was eating lunch and he could not find me. So he gave it to my advocate (Mr.Busch). On the way to the class room two girls saw him with the rose. And in a whispered voice behind my dad they said: "Hey that guy has a rose! Lets follow him and see who he gives it to". So, they kind of followed him and then when he came out of the classroom the two girls looked at him and said:"You gave it to Mr.Busch!", in astonishment! Later in advocacy Mr.Busch gave the rose to me with a expression of awkwardness-LOL! Which do you think is more awkward: Mr.Busch giving me a rose, or my dad giving Mr.Busch a rose?

Happy Valentines Day!
