Photo Challenge Day 26: Heart

Published on Friday, October 26, 2012 by Katherine

When I let the dogs out early this morning, I was stunned to find today’s challenge word just under my feet. It was a brand new, dew-covered crop of mushrooms in the shape of a heart. I was stunned by their beauty.

When I showed my daughter the picture, she said it did not look like a heart at all. My co-worker didn’t see it either. Neither did my oldest son. Do you see it, or is it just me?

Then, on the way to school my daughter squealed, “There it is! A heart! Quick, put your camera out the window and take a picture before the light turns green!

And so, I give you my daughter’s heart. Can you find it?

Then there is Fake Barbie, who believes she has finally met her Prince Charming. Real Ken. He was truly A REAL KEN.

“Real Ken, from the moment I first saw you I knew you were meant for me. Can you save me from this downward spiral I seem to be caught in? Oh please Real Ken. Please! Please accept this letter Q as a symbol of my heart.”

But wait… who is that coming up behind them??? And even worse, why does Ken look so much like Tom Cruise! Fake Barbie, OPEN YOUR EYES! RUN DAMMIT! RUNNNNNNNN!

No. Yes. That’s quite a collection of dolls you have there. You have this problem with reality, don’t you. You know where Ken and Barbie kiss? In the mush room.

in the mush room – that’s funny! Ken looks to be carrying a camera…this is getting better and better. I love reading about Barbie’s adventures.

Yes, Ken does creepily look like Tom Cruise. Fake Barbie should be very careful who she gives her Q to.

OMGosh! the trials and tribulations of Fake Barbie- I am waiting her next adventure with baited breath!!!!!
I see the heart in the mushrooms and the paw magnet 🙂

I see both your and your daughter’s hearts in the photos – very creative.
As for Fake Barbie, Ken needs to watch his back, but out of the camera’s range I believe I see MWJ sneaking up behind the princess from his hiding spot in those bushes! She’s a goner for sure!

Oh no, now I am actually looking forward to these fake Barbie posts – heaven help me.

Yes, I see it in both the mushrooms AND the paw.

Brilliant, Katherine!

“But wait… who is that coming up behind them??? And even worse, why does Ken look so much like Tom Cruise! Fake Barbie, OPEN YOUR EYES! RUN DAMMIT! RUNNNNNNNN!”

Mushrooms are fun to look at… at least for me. And looking this blog soap is getting funnier!

Poor Fake Barbie. Doesn’t she know that marrying a real Ken is still never going to make her a real Barbie?

Okay, I have several comments.

First, those mushrooms are really unusual looking. And together, they do look heart-shaped.

Second, your daughter was very cleaver indeed to spot the upside-down heart. I assume she’s like her mom in that regard.

Third, who owns Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman dolls? And why is fake Barbie falling for him when my heart obviously burns for her like the surface of the sun?

It’s probably his money. Dude’s really well off.

  Oh, I meant clever, not cleaver, although I suppose it’s possible your daughter’s a kitchen utensil-carrying psychopath. Let me know if she is, and I’ll be sure to avoid your part of the country.

They do look heart shaped yes, but personally, I’d leave them right there where you found them!

I don’t see the mushroom hearts. Maybe I need the mushrooms to see the hearts.

That was a good spot to see the heart in the paw print.

I can see Real Ken’s allure for Fake Barbie. Wealth, fame, palace, security. I can’t see it happening. Then again, Charles and Camilla may have set a precedent.

hahahaha, run barbie run. tom is crazy! ken is okay.

Holy crap! This thread started out funny and it just got more hysterical with every comment.

I immediately saw hearts in your ‘shroom and in your daughter’s paw sighting. I’m terribly confused and amused by what’s happening in Fake Barbie’s fantasy world. This is the first time I noticed her head is waaaaay too big for her body. What’s up with that crap? I heard that Tom Cruise was leaving the Scientologists for another woman. I’m a bit terrified that it could be Fake Barbie. I’m not sure who that blonde wench is who’s sneaking up on FB and TC but she’s definitely psychotic.

How do you sleep at night with so much drama in your yard?

I totally see the heart in the mushrooms!

Also, I hope Fake Barbie runs away as fast as she can!
