helen99: A windswept tree against a starlit sky (Default)

A few years back, I was at a holiday get-together at [livejournal.com profile] rialian's parents house. I think it was Easter. At any rate, it wasn't Christmas, because this year was my first Christmas with them. That day during dinner, I happened to notice an odd ornament situated on top of a large china closet across from me. The ornament looked like a horse. Never mind that the "horse" had antlers, and there were shiny christmas balls attatched to said antlers - I was not associating this ornament with Christmas, since it was months away, and I was actually thinking about something else when I saw it. That was when I absently remarked to the room at large, "That horse looks like its brain exploded."

Well, Rialian's mom doesn't forget such a grand opportunity for endless mockery. So when I opened up one of my Chirstmas gifts today, I was surely not surprised to see...what I saw.

Of course, it was Rialian and Stove Top who pointed out the fact that it appeared to be "anatomically correct" (we don't know if Rialian's mom noticed this or not, but we suspect maybe she did...)

Thank you (hehe). However, Rialian's mother included a note with it that said, "This is what you get for saying my ornament has an exploding brain..." So I knew she was giving me a hard time. But you're right, in spite of the intent, it is very pretty, and I am displaying it appropriately!

I actually didn't notice that until Steve pointed it out... I'm not sure how I miss these things. I guess I was paying more attention to the brain area...
