Solved - A Loving Present For The Girlfriend
The young man ahead of my father at the flower shop was taking an unusually long time to place his order.
When the clerk asked how she could help, he explained that the present was for his girlfriend's seventeenth birthday and he couldn't decide whether to give her a dozen roses or 17 roses -- one for each year of her life.
The woman put aside her business judgment and advised, "She may be your 17-year-old girlfriend now, but someday she could be your 50-year-old wife".
The young man bought a dozen roses.
