I can enjoy the fragrance of one stalk of lilac, but it is so potent in a bunch that I can't without many sneezes. One day one of my first graders came in and proudly handed me a bouquet of lilacs. I said,
"Oh they are beautiful! Thank you! Would you help me make someone even happier than I am to receive them? " ("Oh, yes! "). "Today is Miss M.'s birthday. Could you take them to her and give her a great big Happy Birthday wish?! " And -- off she went. And everyone was happy! Thankfully Miss M. played along with the birthday ruse!

You can never have too much happy!
