Ripley’s, HERE WE COME!
On our HOUR LONG walk yesterday UP HUGE HILL, Rascal and I set a WORLD RECORD. No, it wasn’t for fastest, strongest walker in the whole world with BEST TECHNIQUE and TONED ARSE. No, we didn’t apply for that one. BUT, IF WE DID….
No, we won the WORLD RECORD for finding the BIGGEST FAREAKIN’ LEAF you EVER SAW. Check it:
This picture doesn’t really do it justice, but, I mean, that leaf is WAY BIGGER than Rascal’s head — which really doesn’t say THAT much, because Rascal has a teeny head. But, TRUST ME. People were stopping us IN THE STREET.
I was really excited to bring the leaf home to show Monkey. I figured, when Rascal tired of it, I’d just stow it away under the stroller for the rest of the walk. But, alas, he ripped it.
He ripped my beautiful big, record-breaking maple leaf.
My one chance at fame and fortune…. Alas!
I still love him, though.
Beyond.

Wow, that leaf really is big! Glad you had a good walk, and really, I don’t get why that one huge hill doesn’t make for the toned arse…I have the same problem.

Better a ripped leaf than a ripped Rascal. Besides, you captured the leaf on film. The real thing would just dry out and crumble to dust.

We used to have a catalpa tree in the front yard of our previous house — huge leaves – people would always stop and ask about the tree and its leaves. But I’ve never seen a maple leaf that big!!
