I sat at the bus stop waiting, I was going to the shops to get a vase for my beautiful new flowers which I got my new wife. As the bus came I felt as though I sensed that something terrible may happen later. I got on the bus ignoring my sense.
Once I got to the stores I checked the Flower Boutique I searched every inch of the boutique but to my surprise I could not find even one vase. It was a very surprising thing which I would have never thought would happen I mean its a flower boutique they should have vases right? But thinking maybe I miss looked I searched for a vase for a couple more times before I asked the cashier if he thought there was any.
"Excuse me?.. we are a flower boutique.. not a cupboard shop."
Thinking nothing of it I continued looking for a vase at other stores.
I tried every store but no one seemed to know what I was talking about finally I went to the last flower shop in town and asked
"Do you sell any vases??"
"Sir, what are you talking about?"
"A vase for my flowers."
"Rain boots you mean?"
"No..rain boots are for your feet when it's raining.. not for flowers, you put flowers in vases which have water in them."
"Those are called cups sir."
"No... no what is happening."
"Sir are you okay?"
I ran out of the store I couldn't believe what was happening. Rain boots?!?! Who in the world uses rain boots for FLOWERS?? What will I do for my wife with no vases?! She can't just have flowers with no vase what kind of gift is that? I sighed for I was very distraught. My wife would be very disappointed. I bet if she'd have any other husband he'd of found a nice vase for her and not rain boots. I decided I'd go home and present to her some flowers. Just flowers.
As I walked through the door I found that the apartment was filled with rain boots.
I called for my wife.
"Barbra honey???!! What are all these rain boots doing in our house? We don't even have this many feet."
"Carl?? Is that you?" I heard my wife Barbra yell in the other room. I walked towards her voice and found even more rain boots in the house. What was happening is everyone playing a practical joke on me?! There was so many rain boots you could barely even see the floor.
"Carl I'm so glad you're home!! Look at all these aren't they so pretty?? I ordered them online because people aren't putting flowers in the gardens anymore but instead its new to put them in rain boots."
"What? Honey why don't you just put them in a vase?"
"Carl do you need to lie down, are you okay? We use vases for cups not flowers are you crazy?"
I was dumbstruck what was happening why does no one know about vases they are NOT cups for humans but flowers I???
"Come on Carl go lie down."
It finally struck me. There are no vases in the world. I was in a different time. What time was I in? I have no clue still to this day. But what I do know is no one still knows what a vase is actually for.. flowers. I tried getting my wife a couple times to put her flowers in a vase but to my dismay she would not and only yelled at me and told me to lie down because that would be the weirdest thing ever. Like rain boots aren't weird to put flowers in. They're for feet when its raining. But since I realized she wouldn't budge I decided I'd just let her live her life while I lived mine looking for someone else who uses vases for the right thing. Flowers. And rain boots for the correct thing. Feet.
But in the end.....
