Which Would You Choose -- Flowers or a Flood?

Not that it matters, but Cindy didn't mention how much I've helped out at Momo's house and how much Momo said she appreciates it. Also, it's no big deal but Saturday I got up on a cheap, dangerous ladder to stop an overflow from the gutters during a severe thunderstorm with driving winds and rain so that the house wouldn't flood due to the inability of a sump pump to handle the excess water. I came inside only to find everybody oohing and ahhing over some flowers Chris sent for Momo's anniversary, having remembered it only because it was also his anniversary. Maybe I should have gone out and bought Momo flowers instead of preventing her house from flooding. Were the flowers intended to make me look bad? Makes you wonder, doesn't it? At any rate, all you gals did a great job. The truth is I didn't do half as much as you did.
