Re: phone call to s. hawthorne
You did. Something along the lines of did I know my name was a flower? Your mom was named after a flower, and you also evidently really like flowers.
[There is no way that that could be any more deadpan.]
As a reply, yes, I did know! And that's nice, and I'm glad you like flowers because I'm tempted to sit in a plant pot for the rest of my life and inconspicuously pretend to be foliage.
