I have an amusing story about a recent family attempt at a floral arrangement. My youngest daughter invited my eldest daughter and I to shop for bouquets for her friend’s graduation.
She was on a budget and had time constraints, so we rushed to the closest supermarket and bought two bouquets. Then we bought some wrapping paper as well. We found a random table in the nearest food court to arrange the flowers🤣. My eldest daughter was delegated the important task of arranging the two bouquets into one (using the rotation method), while my youngest and I observed and tried to give “constructive” advice. Alas, we struggled to wrap the bouquet in a presentable way.
Unsurprisingly, I completely forgot the wrapping technique that I was taught in the FAME class. The end product wasn’t too bad, though there was definitely room for improvement. Each time I think about this incident, I can’t help but laugh as it was so very ridiculous – she only saved $5 in the end after all that effort!!! 🤣🤣🤣
