MY SISTER’S KEEPER
( M + ISIS + T + OAR + SKI + PURR )
Yes, there’s a reason that it’s called “Really, Really Bad Rebus.” Thanks for playing!
I was cool with everything ’til the purr. Couldn’t figure out what a sleeping cat would have in a cartoon bubble.
These are …horrible. And horribly amusing.

I got it, but egads, can we add an extra really or two to the title, or maybe change bad to awful? I feel so dirty for getting this. Now I have send the link to my friends so I can brag and deepen my shame/triumph hibrid.

That’s supposed to be a ski? I thought it was a scalpel. I didn’t get Isis from that picture either. Trying to read that threw me way off.

I thought the ski was knife! I’m such a dink!

Not only did I think the ski was a knife, I thought the oar was a spatula. However, I did get Isis, for all the good it did me. . . .
