Crazy daisies

Brandon brought home this bunch of "crazy daisies" Sunday night when we were celebrating our first full year of marriage.

A couple nights later as we were eating dinner, Brandon made a remark about this flower:

"Man, that one can't decide what color it wants to be. That's kinda cool."

"Brandon, that's because it's dyed."

To which he was quite taken aback. "No! Really? What?!"

"Um, yeah, you didn't know that? Look at the water they're sitting in. Did you think the flowers magically made it turn pink? And the stems and leaves are purple and blue on half of them."

Brandon, apparently noticing these things for the first time, "Oh. I guess so, huh? So you mean they're fake?"

"No, not fake. They're still real flowers, just dyed to make the super bright 'crazy daisy' colors. And the tie-dyed petals."

"So the color is fake?"

"Well, not on the yellow ones with normal green stems and leaves."

I want to take them back. I feel cheated."
