While I'm here, another Widget story

One of Widget's newest "skills" is story telling. Not just recounting her day, or talking about "real" things, she's started making shit up.

Some of it is wacky shit.

Last weekend, we were talking while she ate dinner, and all of a sudden she comes out with "I have a sister and a brother." I looked at her, and said "You do? An emphatic nod of her head, "Yes." "Oh" say I, "Does your momy know that?" Another nod. "Yes. I have a sister and a brother, and a mommy and a daddy, and we all live in our new house that is a dumptruck." Further questioning devolved into gibberish, so I couldn't get any further details.

And the gibberish? It's cute, most of the time. If you ask her a question that she doesn't know the answer to, or doesn't want to answer, she makes up gibberish as an answer.

Yay! Yay! Yay!

There's a new (mostly) put together entertainment center in my living room. It's not the one I meant to get when we went tothe store, but it was one that Wiley liked a lot better, and since he had good points about why it was better, I agreed with him, and we got the bigger one. It's HUGE. But, it has lots of drawers and shalves behind panels and whatnot so that we can hide all the crud that was previously out in the open. The only drawback is that it maynot leave room for the bookcase that I wanted, and it doesn't actually hide the tv. The one I wanted originally did that, but, like I said, this was a better choice. I've very pleased.
