Meanwhile….That Avant Gauche with Mickey Mouse is of special interest to me…Cos long ago, I was at Disneyland, on a ride called the People Mover, sitting behind a mother with two young boys.Up near a ceiling, we passed the open window of a small room, furnished with a child-size bed. There was a pair of big red shorts with 2 huge buttons draped over a small chair.
“Mickey’s room!” squealed one of the boys.“No,” said the Mom…. "that can’t be Mickey’s room. He’s a mouse. "She held up her hand to demonstrate … her thumb and finger about 4" apart… “This big.”The other boy said "No! We saw Mickey! He’s taller than me! "He was referring, of course, to the costumed character.
Well, they appealed to me and the people in front of them…soon everyone in the car was discussing the size of the “real” Mickey Mouse.Ever since then, I have queried friends, family, and anyone I can remember to ask… “How big is Mickey Mouse?”I had always assumed he was just about the size of the one in this Avant Gauche. Standing almost as tall my shoulders, including his ears.His car the size of a kid’s pedal car.
But there’s no consensus … some people do think he’s “really” a tiny mouse…others agree with me,and apparently Tony and Gary.But some think he’s as big as a grown man, cos he walks Pluto, a full size dog!
So… how tall do YOU picture the REAL Mickey Mouse???
I must have hit “enter” that should be Tom Sawyer. Even I couldn’t figure out what the ‘tom’ meant!And something western was there too, I think,.Heck that was 60 years ago! I’m surprised I remember what I had for dinner last nite!
@TonyThrew out a bunch of cra stuff and moved some other things. Now there’s room for a small car in my living room.Thing is, having the kids from the auto shop class come by twice a day for disassembly/reassembly…Well that ain’t gonna cut it, so it’s just a big empty space.
2 Old.. I LOVED Tom Sawyer island!I never went to Disneyland as a child cos I was overseas… I think I was 18 the first time…But it was still fairly new…Tom Sawyer island was a sort of quiet getaway.
Of course, the simplicity of it was too bland for Disney… now the space is filled with something more “exciting.”
This looks like a very awkward position, and not just because the kid comes in while they’re making out. I mean, is she straddling him while he’s sitting on the chair? Where’s her right leg!?

What could the boy have wanted? Bet it’s long forgotten now. (This also looks kind of like an “F Minus” strip.)

I always think I need more room cos I have too much stuff….but if I had more room, I’d probably have even more stuff.
Sigh….

Is your room occupied?
