I require elevation for optimal acoustics. Also, visibility is key when you're delivering vocals this powerful. Please enjoy this impromptu ballad from my perch high above floor level.

These shirts aren’t just fashion, they’re armor. When you’re an Illini living in Indiana, every Purdue game is a battle for workplace survival. So, let’s go, Illini! Help dad avoid the dreaded ‘How ’bout them Boilers?!’ Monday morning ambush!

I respectfully request yet another clarification on why I’m denied unrestricted outdoor access. I can sense you're passionate about your reasoning, but my comprehension remains... elusive. If CINDY is the bad influence, why would that reflect poorly on ME?? I promise I'm trustworthy!

I can't speak for everyone, but for me... there's no safer, more comforting place in life than right here on the couch snuggling with mom. It's where I can truly let go and rest.

I’ve studied the patterns: Jacket. Keys. Exit. This is not a cry for attention; it’s a well-researched campaign for inclusion.

So, I thought if I waited here patiently in the locker, maybe I could go with you, and we could go on a grand Car Ride Adventure together?!

Too big to be carried? Lies! I refuse to walk, for I am a princess! Carry me, father... the people must see me!

Game day? Yes! We bleed Orange & Blue! Super excited for the game versus the Duke Blue Devils. But to be fair, we're more focused on the snack prep. What you got up there?? You WILL be sharing, right? RIGHT?! Go Illini!

One of us prefers the sunshine, the other prefers the shade.

Delayed gratification? Nope... more like delayed domination. Cindy is gonna be crushed when she sees I still have my treat. I say, "She who waits, wins". And then rubs it in, of course.

Heyyy, Easton... buddy ol' pal... say, there... uhhh... you're good with sharing your toys, right? Maybe just nudge that ball over here a bit closer, would you, Big E??

Life can be challenging, and when I feel very contemplative, sometimes I just need to find a quiet area and be alone with my thoughts.

Also... I think there might be a spider over there. I wonder if I should try to eat it?

Huh? Share WHAT with Sammy? But... wait... you're saying you DIDN'T get this just for me?? Huh. That doesn't sound right. Let's talk about it later after my nap.

I did it! I figured out how to take a selfie... zoomed for maximum boopability! Daddy is gonna find this one on his phone eventually and be confused trying to remember why and when he took it.

Drapes... the official sponsor of canine cooldowns. My post-walk protocol always includes hydration, then flopping in my curtain cocoon.

Yes, father, I realize I already have my own bone, but I want THAT one! What? No, she has the bone I had first before we traded, and... What? Not "traded"? Fine, I stole hers from her, so what? Now I want mine back and she refuses to trade again! Fix this injustice!

Cindy: Maybe not the worst day, but I never want to do that again. That being said… I look and smell fabulous now!

Sammy: I trusted you. I loved you. This is betrayal. The absolute worst day of the summer so far.

We had some free time on our paws and the parental units left the laptop unattended, so we decided to channel our inner pop stars with a vintage album cover remake. Wham!

Happy 6th Birthday to us! Still cute, still chaotic, now with bigger loot! We asked for "big surprises"... and got a squeaky friend the size of a small couch! Here's to livin' the good life!

Yes, mother, but I don't want to start anything new yet. Well, obviously, I'm anxiously waiting for Edwin Von‬ to finish reading Project Hail Mary! Clearly, my emotional well-being is contingent on him loving it as much as I did!

Sammy: proud new member of the neck-pillow club.
Cindy: extremely concerned that this is forced initiation into a cult of which she wants no part.

Personal space? What about it? No, I'm fine right here, thanks. Just think of it as advanced emotional support proximity.

Why is the sky yelling at us?? The booms are SO LOUD, I can't even think straight!! It hurts my head. I'm just going to stay under here until the stars stop exploding. You crazy people can keep your sparkly sky war, I don't like it!
