no picking Grandmas flowers
![]()
I don't remember this (I was 4 years or less) but my mom used to tell a story that I picked flowers from a neighbor's yard to bring home to my mom. The neighbor was the president of the garden club. Now I don't know that the neighbor was upset - but my mom did punish me by sitting me in a chair.
Evidently the entire time I was in the chair I kept up a running commentary to the effect of "my daddy's going to be upset, he's not going to be happy with you, he won't like you for this"
Knowing my mom - my commentary had little to no impact on her at all. Knowing my dad - he wasn't upset with my mom at all.
As an aside - given the fact that I lived in Van Wert, Ohio (the peony capital of the world) the flowers I picked were probably the same as the ones in the above picture.
