The guy on the computer screen

How do you send flowers to your girlfriend who lives thousands of miles away in a country with no flower delivery companies? You enlist the help of said girl’s teammates and send them off to the local flower market.

So today, thanks to the ingenuity and care of a guy far away, and the willingness and care of teammates nearby, I got quite the pleasant surprise.

However, the most entertaining part was likely the conversation I had about said surprise with my four year old teammate Samantha, who had been in on the execution of the secret.

Sam: Hey Kat, did you like your flowers?

Me: Yes, they were so beautiful! Do you know who gave them to me? (this was a trick question to see if she would correctly identify the true source)

Sam: Jeff!

Me: Yep! Do you know who Jeff is?

Sam: He’s the guy on the computer screen.

You see, long distance relationships equate to many skype conversations. Since Sam frequently drops by for a visit (I’d love to say it’s because of me, but I have a sneaky suspicion the candy bowl is more of a draw), she has gotten to talk to Jeff more than a few times on the computer, the place where she apparently assumes he lives.

All I know is, I’m quite the fan of the guy on the computer screen.
