hello friends, wally here. mom and dad keep all my toys in my toy basket, sorry baskets, plural, as there are two now. i have to dig down and around to find what I want, it’s kind of a pain and it takes so much time, so i drag the baskets around the family room, and then as dad says, i shake the cr*p out of the basket like i’m some sort of animal, and then i try to dump them all out to find just the right toy. dad said he’s exhausted from picking up all my sh*t and maybe i could pick up my stuff after i’m done. but why put them all back in the basket when i’m just going to dump them all out 5 minutes later. i don’t get it, and he said he didn’t either. Have a great weekend. Wally.

There will come a day when he may have to take care of you and Susan, so be nice! You can move in with Wally after he gets his own place.

Maybe if you didn’t have so many toys, there would be no need for two baskets! Tell Dad it’s his fault!

Wally, as a mother, I learned a long time ago to pick my battles with children.
As long as it’s all soft stuff, no stepping on Lego pieces, it’s ok if the kids leave toys all over.
You Wally are higher up the evolutionary ladder than daddy is in the animal kingdom. He wouldn’t know.

I’m not keeping it between ourselves. He needs to be reminded of that!!! He needs to be flexible. This is one way to move up the evolutionary ladder.
Please tell him the Gypsy recommends reading Survival of the Friendliest.
And, Wally, your song choice fir your videos is always perfect.

Nothing wrong with a man who knows what he wants, Wally—don’t let Dad try to convince you otherwise. And if I’m not a mistaken, I saw a Florida gator in that basket.🥰

Hi Wally, Bogey and Lucy here…I totally get the delight in dumping your toys from their baskets, and my parents don’t get it either (ok, our dad definitely doesn’t get it, and mom is much more sanguine about the whole thing). You do you, Wally – dad may never some around to your way of thinking, but mom’s got your back..have a great weekend!

I so agree, why not just leave it out for me to see and choose from, it can be my work and play area, just like dad has his man cave where he works?

“like i’m some sort of animal”. Wally… I think dad might be trying to insult you here. (If you don’t know what insult means, you can look it up in the dictionary, and don’t forget to shred the dictionary when you’re done… on second thought, don’t shred it…that might push dad over the edge.). Regardless, have fun with your baskets and toys… But remember, keep that hockey tape at the bottom of the basket hidden! You never know when you might need to defend yourself!…Have the “TEAM WALLY” sweatshirts, T-shirts, hats, and beach balls come in yet? I’m so excited! Sometimes it keeps me up at night 🙂 Have a great weekend!
(Dad, awesome video… Perfect music!)

Oh boy, bringing in Queen was an eye opener. You are so determined and perseverant. Ask you mom what that means.
You don’t need a basket dude, you need toys and surprises around every corner. It’s the best days of your learning and discovery life. I hope they hear and give you lots of mini chunks of inspiration and gnawing goodness one piece at a time. A whole basket is for adult dudes. Just saying. You will get there 😊
