Angry House
FOUND by Derek Jamison
in Arlington, Virginia
Found this in the parking garage of my building. Apparently the thing making the house angry is the well-manicured bed of tulips. Hopefully the caring apple cures what ails it, because there's no consoling the artist who discovered too late what the perfect 'A' word is.

That's my house.
What, no adjective for Barbi?
The house is angry because the apple is so caring that it pissed all over the carpet.
Nightingale, you want an adjective for Barbi? How about "Bizarro"? If Barbie dolls looked like that thing, parents would have to find someone other than Mattel to sue for giving their daughters self esteem issues.
No adjective for Barbi because her name already starts with a B. Or perhaps she simply lacks personality?
Am I just stating the obvious? Because I didn't initially notice the letters hidden inside the pictures.
I was under the impression that A is for apple, B for banana (or maybe boy?), and C for cat.
Oh, nevermind. I didn't properly read Derek's comments.
I beg to differ, Derek -- Apple is not the perfect word for the letter A, because you cannot draw an apple with the shape of the letter. You can, however, draw an a-frame house.
I think Barbi's adjective is "Bulimic," because it appears she has just vomited all over her rotund stomach.
Oh, goodie--art therapy!
I used to think there was nothing worse than the Barbie doll and all its ramifications, before I met the Bratz and the mindless commercials that go with those. Yargh.
This "Barbi" doesn't get an adjective because...well, there's just nothing to say...
this looks like the result of a child who is not having a very happy home life.
Caring Apple? I think not. Most apples I've known have had all the nurturing qualities of a Klingon.
Now, peaches, that a very caring fruit, all soft and fuzzy.
I wonder if the caring apple came from the Giving Tree.
The Finder's onto something-- those well manicured tulips look pretty darned aggressive.
D is for dilapidated domicile.

Snarky, I think you need to give apples another chance. Apples can be very nurturing, better than Mom's chicken soup. Cures constipation like a dream!
My sister-in-law used to feel intimidated by tulips. They made her cry.
I think Barbi swallowed earth.
And I'm thinking Barbi looks pregnant.
I was thinking the same thing, Librarian. Could that be "Baby Bump Barbie", "Bun in the Oven Barbie" or "Barbie's Bastard"?
The house's angry eyebrows are glorious.
I'm with ya Librarian Baby Bearing Barbi, or perhaps Ken broken up with her and this is post break up Barbi, like BonBon Barbi or BBW Barbi LOL
I would be angry, too, if I had a cone head.
Barbi has no mouth.
The caring apple...well, I have to concur with Sammy...apples are my friend, too.
Did the caring apple just go wee-wee on the table?
@ Librarian -- no, Bulimic BabyMama Barbi vomited there too. And all over the carpet. Why do you think the house is so angry?
I see Barbi got kreaytiv with the spelling of her name and took off the e.
My house is often angry and it REFUSES to clean itself...I need a "caring apple" or maybe Barbi to come and take care of that for me.
Usually D is for Dwarfs and S is for Snow White where P is for Poison Apple, however in this case W is for Wal*mart and M is for Mean Mom who hates D is for Divorced Dad - while M is for Mysterious Mario who is with V for Vicky all the while E for Edward knows M is Mean Mom is is actually W the Wicked Queen.
Smallbear, I want to see your drawings. I think I would like to go to a kind kiosk.
(The found guys picked the "spell palindrome backwards" spam question long before anyone ever heard of Sarah Palin! Weird.)
Perhaps Librarian knows of a children's book called "The House That Had Enough." It was one my daughter had when she was little. As I remember, the house got mad because the people didn't keep it clean, so it kicked them out. It was an angry house.
reminds me of the Animal Collective song "leaf house"- "this house is saaaad because he's noootttt tidy"
D is for Dont wake daddy, d'dont wake daddy.
E is for Eets the last time... I swear i wont do it again, daddy.
Mon dieu! Tres poetique!
This makes me sad! Angry house? :( maybe the kid lived in an angry house.
I think everyone is just reading too far into this...the kid was just learning the ABCs. The kid was pretty good too.
