Extreme Gift Reaction...Christmas Edition!

We really should have been taking video...have you ever witnessed a reaction to a gift that was so unexpected, so over-the-top, or so out of character that it left you speechless, or in hysterics, or both? Well, today we have witnessed one such event. Behold the squirmle. Look into its' terrifying little eyes...taste the fear rising from its' disgusting orange coat of horror-inducing fuz.

Yeah, well, Santa didn't exactly think it was so ghastly either...as he shoved it in the Little Brat's stocking last night...Santa has NO idea that this 'magic little pet' would induce a terror so deep that LB would instantaneously produce a blood-curdling scream, jump over the back of the chair she was sitting in, and run for a far away location out of site and reach of the monstrosity...

So when I finally coaxed her back into the living room, we were able to deduce that the magician's string attached to this furry creatures nose cannot be detected by anyone but the person holding it....so as I dragged the tiny beast across the room and up towards her, she actually thought it was ALIVE....for heavens sake! But she eventually made friends with it though....guardedly....at a very long arms distance...

...but I'm not sure this relationship will survive on such a shaky foundation.

...Lordsy Mercy, this will not be something she will easily live down....or ever live down, for that matter!

Merry Christmas!
