Question:
My mother recently underwent surgery for an illness. She is doing very well. We have friends and coworkers wanting to send flowers, but in all honesty, we do not want them. We have very politely refused once and thanked them for their thoughtfulness, but some still insist. Is it rude to refuse again? Gina

Answer:
If you don't want the flowers, then take them to the nearest children's hospital or nursing home and send a thank you note. People always mean well but sometimes don't hear well! You can also just say that your mother is allergic to flowers.
