Snowman with a Message

MAURY SAYS YOU 'R' NOT THE FATHER


I ran into this fellow the other day, and, noting the puddle beside him, wanted to capture his message before he reached a watery fate. Not that I know much about what his message is - I don't know Maury, nor do I have any idea who "you" might be. But I love things like this because they make me want to know. And, perhaps even more than that, they make me want to invent a story by way of explanation. I guess I approach the city that way sometimes. Make up stories to render the mundane, well, more.

But this snowman is far from mundane. What kind of story do YOU think he has to tell?

  1. That's awesome! I got so excited when I saw that you posted this picture because I know exactly who made this snowman!! It was a couple of my friends, country boys turned engineers, and they do funny stuff like this all the time. I also really like that you looked into what kind of story the snowman has to tell. I think looking for a great story in something unusual you find in your day is the mark of a great writer :)Keep it up!

  2. Wow, what a coincidence! I have to admit, I didn't expect to get the real tale behind this.
    And thank you, I always find it a rather fun game to find stories in the things I see.
