Someone new in the cosy corner. Hello.

[DollyDiaper]

Hi Cwick it says you are a baby so methinks you're just teasing us about being a mummy

Just in time for tea, so come out from under your blankie and join us at Sunshine's posh new table.

Hmmmm, I see bayb's been here while I've been napping so don't count on there being any Birthday Cake left!

[Sunshine2585]

You mean that all the cake is gone already?

[Kanji]

Build a better something Kanji Proof and they'll build a better Kanji.

And My lighter isn't in my dress... Its hidden elsewhere.

I think perhaps it's "Storytime"

From "Cautionary Tales" 1907

by: Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953)

MATILDA

MATILDA told such Dreadful Lies,

It made one Gasp and Stretch one's Eyes;

Her Aunt, who, from her Earliest Youth,

Had kept a Strict Regard for Truth,

Attempted to Believe Matilda:

The effort very nearly killed her,

And would have done so, had not She

Discovered this Infirmity.

For once, towards the Close of Day,

Matilda, growing tired of play,

And finding she was left alone,

Went tiptoe to the Telephone

And summoned the Immediate Aid

Of London's Noble Fire-Brigade.

Within an hour the Gallant Band

Were pouring in on every hand,

From Putney, Hackney Downs, and Bow.

With Courage high and Hearts a-glow,

They galloped, roaring through the Town,

'Matilda's House is Burning Down!'

Inspired by British Cheers and Loud

Proceeding from the Frenzied Crowd,

They ran their ladders through a score

Of windows on the Ball Room Floor;

And took Peculiar Pains to Souse

The Pictures up and down the House,

Until Matilda's Aunt succeeded

In showing them they were not needed;

And even then she had to pay

To get the Men to go away!

It happened that a few Weeks later

Her Aunt was off to the Theatre

To see that Interesting Play

The Second Mrs. Tanqueray.

She had refused to take her Niece

To hear this Entertaining Piece:

A Deprivation Just and Wise

To Punish her for Telling Lies.

That Night a Fire did break out--

You should have heard Matilda Shout!

You should have heard her Scream and Bawl,

And throw the window up and call

To People passing in the Street--

(The rapidly increasing Heat

Encouraging her to obtain

Their confidence) -- but all in vain!

For every time she shouted 'Fire!'

They only answered 'Little Liar!'

And therefore when her Aunt returned,

Matilda, and the House, were Burned.

i think that you might have distacted Kanji with that story. Maybe now there will be no more talk of lighters.

[diaprbayb]

Speaking of a "lighter" subject. The room just got a basement.

[Sunshine2585]

A pool. How cool. Although there is nothing above the roof in that picture, so how is it a basement? Shouldn't the cosy corner be on top of it? (I hope everyone understood what i was trying to say).

[diaprbayb]

Oh sure, bring in reality!

[Sunshine2585]

Oh no. What happened? I apologise for bringing in reality. It won't happen again.

[Lance Bedwetter]

any one else think having a pool in a room filled with baby's is a bad idea.

[Sunshine2585]

Yeah. We are going to need some swim nappies. And a lifeguard.

[turtlepins]

I had a nice visit. I gonna curl up now with my own teddy in my own speical place and have a bottle of apple juice. Nite nite.

[Kanji]

Hmmm, bringing down the house... Interesting idea. Where's the hammer?

[diaprbayb]

Now please keep the noise down turtlepins is sleeping over there.

[Sunshine2585]

Oh cool. That pool has pictures on the bottom of it. And it's outside which is good with summer coming up.

[Kanji]

And they're scratch and sniff pictures!

[diaprbayb]

Hope you waited 1 hour before jumping in

[Kanji]

Man this pool is alot smaller than it looked a second ago.

[DollyDiaper]

Hope you waited 1 hour before jumping in

Have you tried walking on it yet Kanji?

D lly

[Sunshine2585]

Walking on the water? Isn't that kinda impossible?

[Kanji]

Not for people like me.

[Sunshine2585]

Why, are you special?

[Kanji]

Cause I'm Kanji, need there be anymore reason than that?
