Pulling flower petals

Okay well the question wasn't about your families garden and actually flowers were meant to be picked or else they wouldn't be able to be admired by others around the world if you weren't able to send them to someone you do love. You can't bring a garden to a person if they live far away. Flowers on trees don't last forever flowers that grow can be grown all year around.

I don't know how George Bernard Shaw isn't and probably wouldn't care to much about him since his life has nothing to do with my own. If someone doesn't want to pick flowers that is fine but if they have never played the game then they wouldn't know what its really about. Its a game like any other game. Flowers have nothing to do with children and there heads being taken off. There is no correlation a flower is a flower and if to many flower then something isn't doing its job. Like animals aren't eating, which then means we die since we aren't getting the right stuff for our bodies. A garden and one flower two ever different things. Like I said they have nothing to do with each other your families garden and a childhood game that many children play. Its clear you never played it as a child probably because of where you live in the world.

In a sense you are right,but have you read what George Bernard Shaw had once said? He was a flower lover,but never plucked them.Asked by someone he said that he loved children as well,but he would never behead children. I don't think he was wrong.

I never counted them either I would play the game or well just pull them off for the fun of it. I don't like many flowers so the ones that I pull apart where ones that I didn't like.

Agreed. I am not intro flowers either.

I like them and I like looking at them but to me they aren't as personal as other gifts. I see it as like get well I like you but not really I love you or I want you or I was really trying to think of something to get you. I know hubby when there is a certain thing coming up where he needs to get me a gift he'll ask me what I want. Some times I tell him flowers are okay like my birthday, or mothers day even valentine and other wise then that just time with him is the perfect gift. Other wise then that chocolate or something not to expensive I know we can afford I'll tell him about.

Ah but that wasn't concerning the uses of flowers at all. It was about what we use to know whether 'he loves me or he loves me not'. Never mind. Oh and I prefer not to pull the flowers to bits. I can't stuff 'em and bake up once they have lost their original shape Much better results with M and Ms and you can cheat if it is not going the right way, by eating one

You didn't answer the question and the answer to yours is yes I still use flowers. I get them from my husband every now and then as a sign of him loving me. Also flower can be used to bake or eat with depending on the flower. Sun flower seeds are used to be eaten. Sorry I'm not looking at someone else discussion on uses of flowers because I don't care what other uses of flowers are in the world it wasn't a question asking about other uses of flowers but a game that children still play these days.

I didn't ask where it started from. Just asking a question if you ever played the game as a kid. Actually this game is never on the tv. I have never seen this game in a movie and if I didn't I didn't pay much attention to. A lot of kid games make it in to movies years after the game has started. Like Ring around the Rosey that was a child's song during the black pledge every little kid knows it and its not that often seen in any movies but when it does it doesn't mean it started there. Same with duck duck goose, tag a lot of games end up on tv because its starts with the people first. Things that are on tv starts from us the people doing ever day life that just checks on. Can't feel sorry flower its going to die anyways weather you pull them, pluck them, run them over, animals eat them, or we will eat them. Its part of life its going to die can't feel sorry for things that when we are all going to die one day.

I don't think there is an age limit to when it isn't or isn't okay do to at anymore. I don't see what being the age of 18 has to do with the age. I haven't played that game since middle school. I think I played it like 2 times in middle school before I was 14 years old.

I never tired to get it to come up with what I wanted it to be. But that was a long time ago I don't play games like that no more.

I would pick a flower. Flowers are meant to be picked if we don't pick them, then an animal will eat them so in all the flower lives up to course of it's life. It doesn't have any feelings how can something with out a brain, or heart feel.

I would not be likely to pull the petals now, too, because I would not want to cause to harm the flower. However, if I found an uprooted flower with petals, it might be fun to do this thing.

Yeah, but when we where younger it sure was fun to do and thinking back I think it was a much needed thing to know what love really is and isn't. Learning what is lust and what is love of a person that will love you back.

As I said it is a silly game that children play. I haven't played that since middle school. As we get older games like that just have no meaning in our lives any more. But its fun to watch our own kids go through that stuff as they grow up.

I never said love life its a kids game so of course its absurd now that you look at it but when you where kid it wasn't like many things when we are child it doesn't seem absurd like blowing out our birth day candles to make a wish, wishing on stars, making a wish when you find and eye lash, picking up heads up penny's lots of things are absurd when your and adult. I never said it was important and the question wasn't asking if it is or isn't important the question was did you play it and if so did you get your way and end up with that person for what ever amount of time it might have been. Of course you don't remember doing it so I'm going to say no you never played the game so no you never ended up with the person that you had a crush on or liked as a kid.
