Cultural Difference

You probably won't mistake this is a painting from Mark Rothko, but you wouldn't be able to imagine my husband use it as a wrapping paper for my birthday gift.  Well you probably defend my husband that a Frenchman wouldn't know such paper is for burning for the dead.  In fact he knows very well, but that fact wouldn't override his appreciation of beauty.  Of course I didn't blame him also coz a diamond ring was wrapped inside it.
