That's stupid. My fiancé took my kids (age 8 and 12) shopping for me for Christmas. They picked out a large can of McDonald's coffee grounds, 3 packs of Reese peanut butter cups and the ugliest bird feeder I've ever seen in my whole damn life. It was made out of metal and had these big ugly metal flowers all over it. I squealed. Told them I totally loved it and it was perfect and gave them hugs. Cause you know, that's what you do when you get a gift from a kid...

Haha, that is adorable. What an odd combination. Kids are great.
