a Smurfette puzzle

Once my daughter, age two, begged me to let her buy a blue Smurfette puzzle for her father for xmas. we were in the midst of an acrimonious custody battle. I tried to talk her out of that puzzle because I knew my husband, knew he would think I had not wanted to buy him a real gift. Sure enough, he voiced anger, altho only to me, for giving him such a stupid gift. I felt sorry for him that he could not see that she had bought him something she thought was very wonderful, that she had chosen a very special gift for him. Her favorite doll at the time was the blue Smurfette, which her daddy gave her, and she had with her at all times. I never would have bought her a doll based on a cartoon but I was not going to deny her that Smurfette because it came from her dad. The love connection between her Smurfette doll and that Smurfette puzzle was obvious to me. He grumbled about the puzzle repeatedly.  He didn't get that it was chosen in love.  He thought I had coached her to give him a crappy Christmas gift.She thought she had given him a very special gift, reasoning he must love Smurfette since he gave her Smurfette.  Men.
