The Text...the Beheaded Doll

The text as it read...

""I am sorry to say I found the doll beheaded on Holmes. Must have been on top of the car and fallen off or something. I can pick it up if you still want it."

After Clark and I laughed hard, cause the image was sort of sick funny. I was going to tell Emma her doll went to Heaven but Clark then decided to tell her the doll went on a trip. Bahaha.

Friday night, Clark and Emma went to a friend's house for a "Thanksgiving do-over". The wife had been sick on Thanksgiving and could not function to cook, take care of herself and her vomiting household members. So, lo, behold, the Thanksgiving do-over.

The wife and I went to a girlfriends house for a girls night out.


When Clark left with Emma from the "Thanksgiving do-over" he placed the doll on top of the SUV roof and drove off. Apparently the dad driving behind him thought Clark had ran over something, but did not know what.

As soon, as I walked in the house later that night, Emma ran to the front door and said, "Mommy, where's my doll?"

Anyone who has a brown eyed brown haired little girl knows how hard it is to find a pretty brown eyed brown haired doll that does not cost an arm and a leg. So, Saturday morning the new search began.

Since Clark told Emma that the doll went on a trip, Emma kept asking where the doll went and when it was coming back. Unfortunately after an extensive search on line the previous doll is not sold anymore, so a new brown haired brown eyed doll had to be found.

Of course, every time, as twisted parents we are, the word "beheaded" was said, Clark and I would laugh. Emma would look at us since of course, she does not know yet what the word means-THANKFULLY.

And because our friends are like us in some ways, Karen said
"Well if you're going to blog about it, you should know that besides being beheaded, her left leg was also amputated, her right eye won't open, she has abrasions on her right knee and left cheek, and a chunk is missing from her upper lip. Her braid in front stayed in tact, however. The hair is good! :)"

Which has had us laugh harder. Well to make a long story finally end, a new pretty doll that looks like Emma has been found. A story about the new doll will be told to Emma well maybe in about twenty years.

Karen took care of the beheaded doll, because well that is what friends do.
