The Elders Prepare for the Little People

Elder JA and Lady R are excited about the upcoming visit from their grandchildren!

But they have a concern: they must childproof the house and safeguard their Fabergé egg collection.

We are TEAM WLBOTT. We are offering some options to Elder JA and Lady R.

Option 1: Inverted Petting Zoo

We presented this suggestion to Elder JA. Initially he wasn’t too enthusiastic, but he promised to keep an open mind. The plan: Elder JA contacts a petting zoo, and have them install the corral in their living room. The kids and the animals will be inside the corral, and they will have a grand time. The petting zoo people can install those animal pellet dispensers, which the kids can also nibble on.

Setup is a snap with the folks from Happy Trails.

JA and Lady R were able to sample the variety of pet and kid friendly pellets. They are especially prized by teething toddlers.

It turned out to be a delightful experience all around. The one downside, thought, occurred when the come came to round up the kids. She asked, “Were you raised in a barn?” and she meant it quite literally.

Option 2: Project Safehouse Alpha

Convert the entire house into a giant padded play structure.

Features include:

Inflatable walls.
Inflatable furniture.
Inflatable grandfather.
Inflatable emergency backup grandfather.

Unfortunately Elder JA became trapped in a hallway after overinflation.

A bit stark, but functional.

Option 3: Help from Sister Magdalena

Sister Magdalena loves children, and has offered to give the kids an introduction to WLBOTT.

And What About the Fabergé Egg Collection?

We have two options here. First, Elder G offers a detailed protocol of safety.

The second, and more prudent in our opinion, is to entrust the collection the Sister Magdalena at an undisclosed WLBOTT safe house.

Fabergé Egg Update: The Texas A&M Connection

Elder JimZim has brought us some late (shell) breaking news:

Speaking of Faberge eggs, one of the most important private collections of said eggs was collected by some hick Aggie. From all the money he is donating to A&M, his ultimate goal is to change the school nickname from the ‘Texas A&M Aggies’ to the ‘Texas A&M Eggies’.
