We had a family outing to the pumpkin patched planned for Monday night, IF Macy and Keller came home and got their homework done before 5:00. Macy screwed around, so I stayed home with her and Bennett (he would have just eaten dirt). BC took Keller and Campbell to the pumpkin patch by himself.
A certain neighbor (who shall remain nameless) was also there and pointed out this gourd.
For some reason (possibly related to being dropped on his head as a child), BC decided to purchase it and bring it home.
Yesterday, a friend came over to return some keys and look through Bennett’s old shoes. While she and I were sitting on the floor playing with our babies, Campbell comes in carrying the gourd yelling “LOOK WHAT WE JUST GOT!!!”
Did I mention that this is a woman who removes the JC Penney ads from her Sunday paper because they’re inappropriate?
She said “It looks like a couple of maracas hooked together!”
Maybe? Kinda? Sorta?
it took this long to earn the title?
awesome gord.
Right. Maracas.
Yepp. Those are most assuredly maracas! LOL
Maracas are what came to my mind as soon as I saw them. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
LOL!!!!
lol – maracas- its your story and if I was you I'd stick to it…. lol
I LOVE IT!! This made my day so much better…love me some funnies!
If my husband had seen that gourd, he would have bought it too.
how sweet… it's a heart.
I'm just glad your husband bought it before my husband was able to. (your posts crack me up)
I think I'll send my husband a link to this post. Maybe he'll start reading craft blogs.
maracas… BAH ha!
Yeah my husband would've bought it too….lol. Too funny.
I cannot stop laughing!
Yeah I love the maracas!
Looks like a penis to me.
my husband would have bought it too. of course, he is the perv in the grocery store doing obscene motions with the giant sausages so…
Man, your neighbor is a perverted fool. And I cringe at the thought of using those as maracas.
oh yes…maracas!! that's what came to my mind first thing;)
this is totally something that would go down at my house!!
I am still laughing, and it cracked conservative Jim up too.
I bet BC just wants to rig them up underneath his truck. He prolly got the idea when you were on your way to the wedding. There are a few of those "manly" trucks in the area! Can't blame him for wanting to trick out his ride!
wow. this post just made my day.
what cute "maracas". hmm….
my husband totally would have bought it also.
This is hilarious! Now that you mention it, I guess it could look like maracas stuck together
I Love your Blog! Thank you for the laugh…
i am dieing over here! hahahahahahaha. ha! thanks for the laugh.
Hahahahahaha….LOL…..the "maracas" thing made me laugh the hardest!!! Yup…I'd say Maracas!
I'm thinking OLD maracas
you're great! that's so funny!
Oh GEEZ! I just spit my pop all over the computer! That's hilarious. Are you going to put it on a wreath for the fall?! LOL!
I bet the guy ringing up this sale could hardly keep his cool.
I don't even know what to say…..
that's awesome!
hahahahaha!!!!
I kid you not that we had a gourd grow in our garden this season that was identical to that one! We quickly seasoned and cooked our "special" gourd.
In the words of the rockette off Dirty Dancing "God wouldn't've given you maracas if he didn't want you to shake em!!" lol. Gross. Lol. Your blog is hilarious, I love it!
Those are some mighty fine maracas!
Maracas? Is that going to be the new slang?
Having worked in an office that does vasectomies….
Thanks for the fun picture! Nature has a great sense of humor.
Maybe your husband will put it with a "butt crack" pumpkin for yard display? That will get the neighbors talking.
LOL! Not only would my husband have bought that gourd too, he would have come home with it belted to his pants in an inappropriate fashion.
But yeah… I totally thought maracas *shifty eyes*
Everyone has to be something…….
LOVE it!!
baaaaahahahahahaha
That is freaking HILARIOUS!!
I THINK I JUST TINKLED IN MY PANTS! HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA!
LMAO That is too funny! I have to admit, though, that if we (hubby and I) found that gourd we SO would have bought it too. I bet we even would have posted a pic of it on Facebook. LOL
Thanks is sooooo funny. You HAD to buy it.
LOL!!!!
Maracas…exactly what I was thinking. What else could they be? haha. Glad you took a picture! It's a keeper.
