VIOLETS FOR THE WIFE ROSES FOR THE MISTRESS

The owner of a flower shop told me that on Fridays the Mexican men were buying violets for their wives, but also roses for their mistresses. Now to me that means, the violets for the sentimental love, but the roses are for the real love of the moment (if not the real love of his life!)

Do all Mexican men have mistresses? Probably not. It takes more than charm to have a mistress - and keep her.
