"RAWR. I Will Eat Your Waffles!", said the two-legged horse.

Here's something my daughter texted to her friend. (Sharing with permission.) I had taken her to a craft store with me and since she is not a crafter, she found a way amuse herself with a plastic horse.

We are still not sure if it was something left behind by a customer or merchandise. Whatever the case, it was odd to say the least. My daughter kept following me around with it while chomping it's jaws, until she came up with a clever way to make other people confused.

Remember: She is/was homeschooled. She has an imagination.  She may be slightly warped. ;-) Enjoy.

"I found this little token of nightmare fuel at Joann Fabrics. I have no clue what it is or what it was doing there. It has one front leg, one giant hind leg, and a grossly enlarged head with jaws agape. When you push down on its front leg the mouth closes and reopens via a plastic thread on the inside.

This unsightly atrocity provided me with hours of deranged amusement while my mother was entranced by supplies for her many crafty hobbies. For a time I contemplated the prospect of taking it home with me to become a gag gift, but in addition to my uncertainty regarding its questionable status as actual merchandise I decided I didn't want a potentially possessed abomination like Horsey riding home with me.

So, after my endeavors to pawn it off on an unsuspecting child proved futile, I simply left it in the back of the store amongst to foam with this message stuck to its freakishly disfigured body. The back of the note informs the reader that they are the only one who can save Equestria with the help of Horsey, etcetera etcetera.

So that was my week."

LOL. Definitely a homeschooler. :-) It's fun to hear of other people with a real sense of humor. Maybe it's because homeschooled kids don't have anyone telling them how weird they are. We had 5 of those, btw. (kids, not horses)

Parsley,
I don't think homeschooled children have the market on imagination or humor, although the public school system and college professors spoon feeding liberal agendas are doing their best to squash it. I love your daughter's clever and hysterical antics. I wish I could have seen the reaction of the person who discovered the horse next! Somewhere there is a little child missing it. The best loved toys are always the most beat up!
Your Friend,

That "horse thing" just begs for a story... "I'll gladly share my waffles tomorrow for a hamburger today!"

What fun, I bet that was the most fun the poor little lost horsey had had for ages. I hope he finds a nice home.

Thinking of you and snuffy, I chose not to watch the video, (big hug) xxxx

LOVED the story - what a clever girl you have!

And Horsey??? A little creepy, but also kinda sad. I'm really hoping that someone decided to take him home. Besides, after all, Equestria is at stake!!

We can well believe your daughter had some fun with Equestria. We hope a home comes her way even if she is ugly. Have a terrific Tuesday.
Best wishes Molly

I might have looked for something to add to it if I had discovered Horsey! Clever! :)
