Take Time to Smell the Flowers

Newton: Flowers? For me? You shouldn’t have!

Newton: * SNIFF * How lovely!

Pierre: Oh, hey, Newt, what do you have there?

Newt: What does it look like?

Pierre: It looks like flowers. Who sent you flowers?

Newton: Probably a secret admirer. There’s no card.

Pierre: No card? Then how do you know the flowers are for you? Maybe they’re for me.

Newton: Because I found them first. My secret admirer is shy.

Pierre: Fine, you can have them. They don’t smell like they will taste good, anyhow.

Newton: Ha, they’re all mine now!

Newton: I really wish I knew who sent you, little flowers. Too bad you can’t talk. If you could you would…. OOPS!

Newton: My poor flowers! This is sad. But no one saw this happen, so we can blame it on Pierre. The important part is that I get to keep the secret admirer.

    We never get flowers around here. Probably because some cat (Wally!) isn’t like you guys and eats them.

      We would eat them, too, but those are silk flowers. They taste pretty bad.
