She once told me this story about 2 high school aged guys that went into the store (apparently guys this age always go into the in pairs or groups, never alone). One was buying his GF a bouquet of flowers. The other started to talk about how he was going to buy his GF two dozen roses for valentine's day (which was a ways off). My wife said "she must be really special". A short while later, he asked how much a dozen roses would be, and when my wife told him they cost $75/dz at valentines day, he asked "Do you sell rose seeds?"
Poor boy! He didn't know what he was getting into, but he was just in high school after all.
