Was it a bad thing if it was for the right reason?..

So my dad said "Since you've been doing everything I told you to, it makes me very happy and I'd like to give you two big gifts."
(He knew that I've been wanting a pet for while but he told me that it had to be one that doesn't make noise.)

I didn't ask for a pet to be included in the "two big gifts" part..he claimed that he already gave me one of the gifts when he surprised me with random pets the next day.

The day before, I asked if I could have a mute cat if I found one -.- he said yes so I was looking online and thinking carefully through all the list of pets I would like.
So then today I woke up and he "surprised" me with two guinea pigs.

He got upset that I didn't have a "happy reaction " and he demanded that I go with him to the store to return them to make him "more believable" when returning the pets.
He got even angrier when I was 'taking too long' to shower and rushed me.

I know this doesn't seem like a big deal but..it just broke my heart to have to return a pet. I wouldn't like to keep a pet who would just remind me that something was forced on me. So he just went to return them by himself and I don't want to feel like such sh!t for returning a pet.. i hate that..I love animals. But..they're not toys, I want to carefully choose them if I have a limited amount I can have meanwhile I work on moving to my own place.

--------------------

I at least wanted to spend time with them to make up my mind whether to keep them or not..
I felt depressed so I started to cry earlier..lol
