| Proof That Mermaids Exist |
When I was a wee tyke, I carried around a little red photo album my mom put together for me with various family pics inside. One item she added to my photo album (that I'm sure I begged her to give me), was a post card from the Banff Trading Post in Alberta, Canada depicting an image of a real live merman.
Why I felt compelled to add this to my family photo album I still don't quite understand. There are no family relations that I am aware of. 
She told me all about how he was preserved in a museum in the province where I was born and some wild fish tale about how he was captured. As much as the thing freaked me out, I was fascinated with it and, wholeheartedly believed it was real!
In fact, if my memory serves me correctly, I was dating a friend of my husbands back in high school when I boldly brought out the post card one night in an attempt to prove mermaids really did exist. Scott (my boyfriend at the time) and Mark (my hubby) busted a gut laughing and poking fun at me. They never let me live down my naivety, and razzed and teased me about my mystical belief in mermaids for years. Being the stubborn person that I am, I refused to back down and took a stand for what I believed in and maintained that the creature in the postcard was for real, and one day I would prove it!
Prove it I did. It only took me 11 years, but I finally brought my friend turned husband all the way across Canada to show him that the merman legend is in fact true!
Now if that isn’t some hardcore proof, then I don’t know what is!Labels: It's All About Me, Mark |

That is freaky and cool and funny all at the same time.
That's awesome!! Go Karla!!
That thing is damn scarey looking though!lol
Go Karla. You showed them. I agree with Renee spooky!
Wow, what the hell is that thing??? It looks like a deformed Who from Whoville.
It's PLASTIC!!!
Like any good Hallowe'en mask it's freaky looking but fake nonetheless.
It was fun to see though. I never doubted it existed I simply don't believe it's authentic.
Oh Dear Husband, you are fighting a loosing battle. IT IS REAL!
Just look at that hair. If it was a fake, they would styled and combed it better.
Thanks for that. Now I am going to have bad dreams about that thing. That is just freaky looking.
Umm, ewwww!
That is too funny!
Perhaps I should use that lovely visage for my Blogger profile picture! It's really not too far off from what I look like in the morning. :)
you do have some hardcore proof there, which freaks the heck outta me...
if i have bad dreams and stay up all night, this post would be the reason. i can't believe that you weren't scared of that postcard, but loved it when you were small.
I remember that postcard! Creepy!
Mark, you know its not plastic. Please do not argue with your mother-in law. Dont forget I did see it in person.
