The following is a text message conversation that occurred this past week.
February 8th 10:17 AM The Great Unwashed to Sula
“Can you do me a favour?”
February 8th 10:17 AM The Great Unwashed to Sula
“Can I send you a whole bunch of pictures of animal penises to print off?”
~The Great Unwashed realizes how strange this request sounds and sends a text message explaining the situation.~
February 8th 10:25 AM The Great Unwashed to Sula
“They’re not for me, they’re for my Mom.”
Recognizing that this statement might need further clarification, The Great Unwashed sends off yet another text.
February 8th 10:32 AM The Great Unwashed to Sula
“For Valentine’s Day”
In a show of just how understanding a friend she is Sula replies;
February 8th 11:04 AM Sula to The Great Unwashed
“No problem. Only in black and white though.”
This is the Valentine I had intended to send my mother on February 14th.
On the cover:
“Dear Mom,
I know you hate flowers so I decided to send you images of the genitals of other animals instead.”
“Happy Valentine’s Day, “written below a giant walrus stiffy
“I love you very much” written above an excited elephant.
And on the back “May you have a fun and unique day loving others “the text encircling a picture of a seahorse about to get it on.
For everyone who isn’t a biologist, flowers are the fun bits of a plant. My mother is a scientist, so I thought she would get a kick out of my strange Valentine. That is until I saw a whole bunch of walrus stiffies. They’re totally awkward and not at all safe for work. Also the sight of them is enough to put anyone off love of any kind for a good, long time. Thus even I, in all my weirdness, could not send something so bizarre and pornographic to my mother. She got a nice email instead. And Sula got points for being an awesome friend who was willing to print out pictures of kangaroo goolies. Although I don’t think the strangeness of the request registered with her, seeing as Sula broke her boyfriend’s electric razor last week trying to clean up a mountain goat hide that she had skinned out herself. Apparently two foot long erection bones are just another day at the office for field biologists.

All in the name of science lol
Thanks a lot. Your abs are now on my blog. Just what I always wanted.
But a genuine thank you for sharing my post and commenting though.
I await your homemade postcard.
Sadly I was informed by my dad that this post was too bawdy and that I am to cease and desist any writing like it.
Ha! I’m 51 years old and still think, “I wonder if this is too much for Mom…”
My mom loved the post. And my step dad even shared it. Apparently I scandalized my father though.
