Take a deep breath....

Well, Prom '08 is over and the eighth grade formal is finished too. It was a rather interesting event. But nothing new. Same complaints just different parents. You have the mother's who say, Thanks for making my baby look handsome his tux fits perfect and the flowers were awesome. Then there is the mother's from hell. Well, his pants is an inch to short and the sleeves could be a tad longer, the buttons on his shirt needed to be a bit tighter and the tie wasn't quite the shade that we ordered.This is where you take a deep breath...you pause for a moment and try to remember how your Daddy always told you--Now, Sherry be nice....you say, I will be glad to make alterations on the pants and the jacket, you need to use the studs that were provided to button the shirt and that will give you a snug fit. As for matching the tie and vest, you did bring in the dress and lay it across the swatch and that is the one you decided was the right color--remember you even took it out side to see how it matched up with natural light. All the while you are smiling and then they say-- well, I think it will be all right he does look rather handsome maybe I'm being just to picky....... Hello......... are you listening to your self.
Being a florist I hear the same complaints every year and you just let them roll off your back and forget about them. Everyone wants everything perfect...Folks we don't live in a perfect world.
