...And no I don't mean my mother...in fact, this isn't even a rant post...
Some of you may remember a post I did earlier on about one particular individual, a Potuck. I had thought before that that incident was only one of 2 "OMG THE WORLD IS WEIRD" moments that a person can meet in a lifetime and a half (the other incident is when we breathe for the second time...does anyone still remember the shock you got when you took your second breath?) but I have been proven wrong. Apparently, these "OMGTWIW" moments frequent our lives more than we may think...
...or is that just because I'm always so concentrated on breathing that I notice things that would normally go unnoticed?
ANYWAYS...

Serené's "Crash Course for Dummies" Geography Edition
Listen up all ye Homo Sapiens out there! Think back (or forward...depends on how old you are I guess..) to that Geography lesson you all had x years ago (again, depends on your age...). The thing about Pangaea and the Rock Cycle and how rocks are formed from heat and pressure and yada yada yada...

The 3 Types of Rocks:
Igneous Rock = Rock from cooled lava
Sedimentary Rock = Rock from ... sediments?
Metamorphic Rock = Magical Rocks. Changing Rocks, Also known as "RocksWhoAreNotSatisfiedAndLikesToKeepUpWithFashion"
Remember now?
I'm an AWESOME teacher!
However, I'm SURE you're teachers didn't teach you THIS!
I call it...the Koko Rock...
Did I mention my wonderful naming skills?
And of course, simply because I can already imagine you asking "Why Koko? Why not Bob? Or Tutankhamen?", allow me to explain:
Koko is a Serenése word derived from the English(?) word "Coocoo", meaning weird/confused/random and the Japanese word "Kokoro" naming heart. As to why I decided to use Japanese even though its not any of my few languages? Well...because I am a wonderful example of a Coocoo?
Plus, the word for Kokoro is the same as the word for Heart in Chinese, which I DO speak
Plus, the word for Kokoro is the same as the word for Heart in Chinese, which I DO speak
Anyways, from the name, we can safely come to the conclusion that the average Koko rock is nothing less than a weird and confused rock that seems to believe its a heart.
Do ye spot thou?Its on the bottom-ish of the picture,
second rock from right,

I have amazing photo-taking skills?
Yups, that's the one!
This Koko rock currently camps out on the land of a particular MoneyTree...as to why its called a money tree...well...who knows...maybe its a Koching tree?
Anywhos:
After seeing this rock, I decided to show everyone!
Results are as follows:
Mom: Water the plant for me would ya?
Me: Ehhhhh....
Dad: We own a tree?
Me: Ehh...
Grandpa: A rock...I've seen enough of THOSE
(Grandpa is a retired rock-scientist)
Me: Ehh...
Grandpa: It seems to contain 5% Na, 23.2% H2O, 14.6% Ca 1.7% Sn, 0.0826735% Mg, and 78% rock
Me: ...eh?
Brother: ...

Actually, now that you mentioned it...I decided to pick up the Koko rock after taking pictures of it and realized that it was actually a normal shaped rock and a part of it was dirty (water, soil, etc) and that was why it looked like a heart...

But it was still fun to blog about?
Koko rock is coocoo no more!
