Spousal Communications

Have you ever wondered, after you overheard one side of a phone conversation, whether you were, in fact, meant to overhear it?  Case in point:

"He gave you Grocery Store Flowers?  And you're upset because they're Grocery Store Flowers? 

Honey, you should be grateful!  The only flowers yer father ever gives me are Grocery Store Flowers, and God knows, I'm grateful!  Hell, if it wasn't for Grocery Store Flowers . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."

Ok, I get the picture.  Lady down the street has a nice garden.  She's not outside much, especially after dark.
