When I was in second or third grade, we were given an assignment to go through the ads in a newspaper and cut out things we wanted. I remember sitting there with scissors in hand, reading through the paper and cutting various things out. Then I found it. I don't know why I wanted it so badly, but I thought I had discovered a gem. I promptly cut it out and glued it to my paper. "Horse Miniature" Sweet. What little kid wouldn't want a miniature horse? I should have wondered at the fact that they had put the two backward, horse before miniature. I was pretty excited. The next day I turned bright red with embarrassment when I discovered I had cut out an ad for "Horse Manure."
