Sometimes I Like to Be Literal

My girlfriend likes flowers. More specifically, she likes bringing me flowers. Maybe I should re-read those two sentences and bring her flowers sometimes, but that’s a different post. Anyway, I do not have a vase to put these flowers in. I usually use a water bottle. I have loads of bottles from trade shows, imprinted with the names of forgotten tech companies. They make good vases. We were at the store and she asked me if I wanted to look at vases. She’s smart and I usually listen to her. Rather than choose a standard glass vase I got a white ceramic pitcher with the word “Water” stamped on the side. Now when someone says can you put these in water, I can.
