Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Recently I was shopping with my son and passively took notice of a jewelry display. I thought of my wife and our good fortune of asking our daughter's opinions for gift ideas for others. I decided to test whether my son would be a good source of gift ideas for my wife.

So, I asked him what he thought was beautiful among the jewelry. He said nothing. I was amused and asked a second time. Again, he said nothing was beautiful among the sparkling collection of golden and silver treasures. I asked what he did think was beautiful... He said "battleships" - which cemented the end of asking for his gift ideas.
