Don't worry, I don't really think this horse head is beautiful. In fact, I hate it. Kurt and I had an agreement that we would not do anything for each other for Christmas and in a couple months we would go shopping for ourselves instead. Well, I followed the rules. Kurt however did not. I'm not surprised by any means, he is a really generous person. So Christmas morning Kurt grabs the video camera and hands me a present. In my mind I'm thinking that he got me the camera lens I've been wanting. I opened the present to find this hideous horse head and I instantly started laughing because I new it was a joke, right? I laughed even more when I saw the price tag on the bottom for $56, knowing he would never spend that. I assumed it came from his parents garage or something.
Well, Kurt says, on camera, "You don't like it? Why are you laughing?" I still laughed and lifted up the tissue paper it was wrapped in and looked for my real present, thinking it was a gift card. Kurt continues to say on camera. "You don't like it. I thought you would love it. You have that chicken in our kitchen so I thought you would like this." Then he shuts the camera off and tosses it aside.
At that point I was convinced that he was being serious. So I instantly feel guilty and terrible for laughing and I try to say thank you and give him a hug. He pushed me away and said, "I'm not in the mood for you to hug me." For a good 5 minutes I feel like crap. He then says with a big smile, "I'm just kidding honey! I wanted to get you a gift card but decided that was so boring so I found the ugliest thing the store so you could return it and get the money." Seriously!!!!! Is that not so rude?!!!! I guess I shouldn't have expected anything less for him. That horse head is no longer in our house, but a couple new pairs of shoes are.
