Me: I claim this rose as mine
Friend: Yeah? Why?
Me: Because June is my birth month, and June’s flower is the rose
Friend: Mmm. Fine, I can get with that. But that makes you a Gemini, forever young, so a bud would be more fitting
Me: But I’m not young. I unfurled my petals long ago. I’ve seen life. I’ve lived life. Now, like this rose, I am relaxed. Confident. Poised. Thus, that rose is mine.

You can definitely claim the rose, dear. When is your birthday?

It was yesterday. 10th. And I spent it with my daughter walking our cameras, then a lovely pub lunch. And I’m very happy with the photos!

Yes, as I remember, you’re also Gemini. That makes us astrological twins!
