What's a guy to do with flowers?
Sen. Don Betzold, DFL-Fridley, recently underwent knee replacement surgery.
In a kind and bipartisan gesture, Sen. Julie Rosen, R-Fairmont, sent flowers to Betzold, whom she serves with on a committee.
Betzold thanked Rosen for the bouquet — said no one had ever sent him flowers before.
But he wondered what to do with them. Sent them on table? Enjoy the scent?
The flowers ended up brightening the Betzold family kitchen table, but the senator expressed a certain gender inadequacy in enjoying the gift.
“I’m a guy — I don’t do flowers,” he joked, speaking after a hearing today.
