Say thank you, with a kiss.
Put them in a vase on the kitchen table.
Tell them not to pick the neighbor’s flowers anymore!!
And then pray that the neighbors don’t look in the window.

Neena says
I remember picking the neighbors flowers as a child – and having her come out and yell at me. They were just so pretty and tempting. What a different approach I would take if a child picked the flowers in my garden – kindness, understanding, and a gentle reprimand is really all that it takes. I know it would have meant a lot to me.

Those daffodils are gorgeous — lets you know Spring is really here. I love the thought of smiling faces and little hands with flowers for you!

Snowcatcher says
Catchy dilemma and solution. If I were the neighbor, I think I’d smile. I hope your neighbor does the same.

Awww! Luckily our neighbors are my parents ;) I don’t think they’d mind. Still, it’s nice to ask :)

Lolli says
Luckily our neighbors are nice and have kids, too. For all I know, they think their kids picked the flowers!
Lolli says
That’s right. They would have died soon, anyway! :) And they probably have a similar vase in their kitchen, too.
Lolli says
I just hope there were enough that the neighbors didn’t notice the missing flowers. :)
Lolli says
No, they really don’t. And they only thought of how pretty the flowers were, not how pretty the flowers were IN THE NEIGHBOR’S GARDEN. ;)
Elaine says
Oh but they’re SO pretty! ;)

Amy says
that is so funny and i’m sure the neighbor would forgive them if they saw how pretty they look in your vase :)

Harriet says
Ahhh…the flowers wouldn’t have lasted forever anyway. The kids did your neighbor a favor :)
Very sweet :)

I’ve had that happen before. It can be so embarrassing. At least it can be pretty for a while.

LOL!!! That’s awesome, he chose really pretty ones. And cool pic of the flowers!
Amanda says
Nice shot!! Kids don’t know land boundaries, do they? They were just thinking about how happy the flowers would make you. I love those moments.
