Day 4 - A Rose by any other name

Would a Rose by any other name smell as sweet? This is a very good question! One posed by the Bard of England, your one and only William Shakespeare. 
I feel like if you wanted to find the answer to this, you could get a rose and try calling it something else for a day or two, and then see if it effects your nasal capabilities. 

Anyway, I want to tell you a story today that has to do with a rose. A single long stemmed red rose given to a young girl on Valentines day. 

Once upon a time, as all stories begin, there was a boy. For the sake of the story we shall call him Rudolpho. (Because that kinda sounds exotic right) Well back in the day, when Rudolpho went by "Rudy"he had a crush on a little sixth grade girl in his class. But you see, Rudy was a little shy and didn't quite know how to go about letting this girl know that he kinda maybe sorta kinda liked her. So, he did what any young lad would do when faced with such a predicament. He gave the girl candy. 

Every day, for a whole year of school, he would walk up, hand his lovely lady a box of candy and then walk away. Well this went on for awhile then sixth grade ended and life moved on. 

But then, 6 years later, what should happen but that girl he bribed with candy happened to be in one of his classes!

Valentines Day rolled around and so he did something sweet, cute and simple for her. He bought her a rose and wrote a note. 



if you can't read that it says:
"A rose isn't complete without a little note to go along with it, so I made one. I'm pretty sure all guys do this, so sorry if this rose is a bit lame. It's just a guys way of saying he cares for you. Well...I'm not very good at this but I tried. haha. Anyways... I know haven't really shown it but I care about you and there is no one else I would rather give this rose to.

Happy Valentines Day"


For the record, Rudolpho totally scored high points with this one. So moral of the story is this: Guys, she doesn't need a dozen roses, a diamond ring or a trip to Paris France. This valentines day, all it really takes is a rose and a nice note. 

~Keep Smiling!~ :) 
Happy Valentines Day <3
