You made me laugh with this one. Sneezes on roses sounds like a good parody for the song, My Favorite Things on A Sound of Music (raindrops on roses). Delightful. :)

Hi Kim, I love this little slice of life piece. I once had a girlfriend who made me chocolate covered cherries; they were God awful but I had to pretend to keep the peace. God bless Anthony

Hello Kim, I would not accept the rose after he sneezed on it. I would enjoy the chocolate. Hugs. /Darlene/

He must be cute, or she’d not written about him ;) Love oft starts with clumsiness.
