Enough with the depression and mourning and worry!

Gah! I need to be funny and entertaining again! (although to be funny and entertaining again, I would have had to be funny and entertaining before. OK, strike the "again.") Submitted for your approval- Mama, I in e'evator! Lil Joe loves this blue laundry basket. He tilts it up on its side and repeatedly tells us that it is an elevator. (He loves elevators, especially the part when he gets to push buttons.) Why he thinks the basket is an elevator is beyond me. He doesn't turn the white laundry basket into his elevator. He doesn't turn boxes into elevators. But this basket, this is his elevator. He was playing with his basket on Saturday, happy as can be. "Oh, are you having fun in your elevator, Lil Joe?" I asked. "Siwwy Mommy!" he replied, "Is not a e'evator, is jus' a waundry basket!"
