every creature tells a story

I got a surprise package in the mail. (hope our postal service stays around for a long time) 

My anniversary of first breathing air is coming up so when I saw who the sender was, I was able to deduce it was a gift. I was right. I should have taken a picture of the tape job but then my little sister might think I was making fun of her. Nothing new there. I like to say we laugh together.

Turns out the gift is a combo gift from both older and younger sister. They happened to be shopping together which is unusual since they live states apart. 

But what is totally unbelievable (you’ll see in the picture below) is how similar this odd gift is to the odd gift my daughter gave me for Christmas. Now these two odd gifts were purchased in different states too. Also my sisters had not heard or seen anything about my Christmas gift. I have not strolled a craft fair in a long time so maybe this type of metal creature is popular.

Here’s the odd metal creature my daughter gave me:

Here’s the surprise gift from my sisters:

They look good together, don’t you think?

I also deduced that I must be good at letting others know of my fondness of odd things.
