So, I was out looking for an end of the year gift for Avery's teacher last night. I was at a local store, and walked past the Willow Tree Figurines and thought that would be a nice gift.

The figurines were pretty picked over. I was reading the boxes, trying to find one that had a figurine that would fit the occasion. I saw a tall box that said "Chrysalis: "Protect and cherish; give wings to fly" That was perfect, I thought. Too bad there weren't any of those figurines open so I could actually see what it looked like.

I took it up to the counter, pretty sure I was going to get it. I asked the cashier lady if I could just peek at it, just to be sure it looked good.

She opened it up, and here is what I saw...



Nothing says "Thank you for being my child's teacher" than a close hug from the backside...

i did not get it, in case you are wondering....
