“This Is How You Are Supposed To Enjoy a Flower”

The Daily Kina

Child unimpressed with parents’ boring staycation gift, even though Daddy risked shame and imprisonment in picking it

Whenever Laurea and I have a little getaway for the two of us, we are supposed to bring Kina back little gifts. Clothes, toys, candy, whatever. This time, we snuck into the walled garden of our hotel and snipped off one of the hundreds of blooming peonies, which we thought Kina would appreciate, given her propensity for stealing flowers.

Reader, she did not appreciate it. Flowers are too boring.

Candy next time.
