The other day I was chatting online to my good friend C. We're really close and sometimes I swear we share the same brain because we can totally read each other's thoughts. It's an awesome sort of friendship. And C is pregnant right now so we've been talking a lot about her baby. I'm excited for her. And she's the first one of my really good friends to have a baby. So it's kind of fun going through it all with her.
And I was telling her that if I was there, I'd talk to the baby and say hi to it. Then we wondered if it was possible the baby was psychic and could hear my thoughts just like her mom could. Mostly we were just being goofy about it. And then all of a sudden I felt something in my mouth. It felt like a piece of lettuce, only I hadn't eaten anything at all that day until that point.
So I spit this thing out onto my finger and to my confusion it was a tiny little white flower. A piece of Baby's Breath. Tell me that's not incredibly weird. We were talking about the baby, wondering if she could hear me, and then a piece of Baby's Breath shows up in my mouth?? What are the odds? It was just one of those completely out there moments that made no sense at all. But it felt like a sign or something. Wouldn't you think that was a sign?
I felt pretty intrigued by it and it definitely gave me something to think about. I was really convinced it meant something important.
But then this morning I was drinking tea. I had been drinking coffee the other day for the very first time in months, and let's just say my stomach no longer enjoys that drink. But it was cold and cloudy this morning, and I needed a hot drink. So tea it was. But I drink it with sugar because I like things sweet. So I scooped up a spoonful, dumped it in my tea, and suddenly there were little white flowers floating on top.
That's when I realized it wasn't a sign from God the other day. It was a sign that I'd left a flower arrangement on the kitchen counter too long and the Baby's Breath had fallen off and landed in my sugar container. So much for that brilliant spiritual moment. I guess we hadn't used the sugar very much since I stopped drinking coffee. And that's about the only thing we ever used it for. I had no idea it had flowers in it!
But maybe it was a still some sort of sign right? A sign that I need to throw my sugar away and maybe pay closer attention to what I'm drinking.....

I will paint you this picture.
I'm laying in my bed after spending the whole day on line with my girl.
She helped me finish my blog in HTML which was a great help, putting
in all my pics. Very satisfying too.
She gave me the link to your story. I started reading it, laying on my back,
laptop on a stone chessboard so it will stay cool.
My knees are up and the board rest against my upper legs and on my belly.
You made me laugh so hard that I was afraid the board would be stuck between my ribs.
Thank you for that. I am still belly giggling, as we (Joanna and me) call it.
The board is dancing on my stomach. Maybe I will get a six-pack from it.
;-))

That's great. Yeah I think I'd be pretty confused too if a flower just materialized inside my mouth! Damn. I don't know what the hell I'd think that was.But it's pretty hilarious that it turned out to be your sugar. Mystery solved. Time to buy some new sugar. At least it wasn't a spider that materialized in your mouth. You might want to put a lid on that container! -
quietone said on Oct 04, 2008....
You know, I swear these things could only happen to you kyle! I had a great laugh about this too. You almost had me going there before the tea and sugar! Yes, it was a sign..... to throw out the flowers and put a lid on your sugar! hahaha...... I can't wait to see what happens to you when your friend actuall gives birth!!! -
Twylarants said on Oct 04, 2008....
You crack me up, Kyle, you really do! I was ready to question my beliefs, or non-beliefs, when you said a flower appeared in your mouth. Whew! I can safely return to my heretical ways.

Hope all is well with you :-) MM

you have just described the perfect dichotomy my friend. there was a natural explaination for the occurance, but not for the timing. at another time, would you have thought the small flower was significant, or just an anoyance? but in the end, i think that signs are what we make them, they are significant to us at the time, and they make us feel better, so what the hell, right? -
uniquely-ironic said on Oct 05, 2008....
why can't it be both? and yes, I do believe babies in womb can hear or feel the presence of others.new sugar in a covered container would probably be a good idea. -
gingersoul said on Oct 05, 2008....
Kyle.......oh, you are way too funny.....LOL......
But who care to give an explanation sometimes?
Sometimes its better taking the signs and the coincidence in and let them stay with us...the meaning will be clear to us one day..
But , most importantly, when you kissed Nat ...did she have baby breath too?..
Btw..i am amazed by the fact there is a song EVEN for baby's breath....lol...

secret--Happy I made you laugh :-)
dia--It could have been worse than a flower huh? Ick!
paper--I'm glad you liked this :-) I've been a little quiet these days. Nothing much to write about. I'll tell Natty you said hi :-)
quality--I'm happy this made laugh :-) Thanks for reading!
Mr. Box--Ugh, if it had been a spider in my mouth, I'm not sure what sort of sign that would have been! But yeah, a lid for the sugar is a good plan!
quietone--This was pretty cool until I realized what had happened. I don't know what I'll do when she gives birth, but I'm scared to see what might materialize in my mouth then!
twyla--I'm glad my post didn't shake your non-beliefs ;-) Maybe tomorrow, Jesus will appear to me on a piece of toast? Then we both might need to question some stuff!
Minnie--It's so good to see you! I've missed you around. It's great to see your name in the comments :-) I hope all is well with you too. Stop being a stranger....
trav--I actually had that thought myself. The incident did have a logical explanation, but the timing of it all was definitely interesting. Because I'd been drinking that coffee all morning, and the flower only made itself known at the exact moment we were talking about the baby. So I think it still did mean something....
uniquely--I agree. I think it was a sign of something good and a sign I needed new sugar! I think babies can hear us in the womb, but I wasn't so sure they could feel presences. But I hope that's true.
ginger--It still meant something to me, even if I could explain it away. But no, when I kissed Nat, there was no baby's breath. Not yet anyway....

awww this just made me smile... ;-) who knows??? maybe it's a sign for something else... baby... ;-) -
tizzygirl said on Oct 06, 2008....
Well that definitely is funny! Although I think even though it has a explanation the timing really doesn't! Maybe the little one just wanted you to know she was thinking about you just as much as you were thinking about her! Or maybe she just wanted to let you know that your sugar container sucked? Lol. So....how do flowers taste? Do they give an extra something to coffee? Maybe Starbucks needs to add some to their menu? -
travelr712 said on Oct 06, 2008....
yeah et, it meant you missed the other 15 flowers that you unwittingly swallowed :-P
