Remembering Her Own Name?

On Wednesday, Marina gave me a free bear shirt. But I regifted it just two minutes later, when Pippy asked for some new clothes. Pippy loved it, and she rewarded me with a blue ribbon.

Pippy: Here! Your favorite! A blue ribbon!

I wondered if it was attached to a medal, like a first-place prize being awarded to me. But it was literally just a blue ribbon (an accessory), to wear in my hair. Not what I expected (or wanted). 😆

Over by town hall, I listened in on a conversation between Curt and Marina. Marina said that she’s not good at remembering names, so she associates everyone’s names with a color. But one of the examples she gave was more than a bit odd…

Marina: Then, I just remember you as, like, Green Jeff! Or Purple Marina!

Purple Marina? Why would she need a word association trick to remember her own name?! Wow. But anyway, she eventually decided that Curt was a “burnt umber” after he first mentioned the color.

Yesterday, Curt told me that when the weather is this cold, he can’t be bothered to do anything. He even has a hard time keeping his eyes open…with legs.

Curt: It's hard to even keep my eyes open...with legs.

The fishing tournament is coming up this weekend, and Filbert was imagining how the fish were handling it. He imagined fish families being torn apart.

Filbert: I'm picturing this scene: I'll go, too, Dad! No, Son, you're too young...

He even made himself cry thinking about the hypothetical fish family.

Filbert: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! It's such a sad story, with legs!
Actually, it’s without legs. They’re fish.

Robin has been sick with a cold this week, so I gave her some medicine Wednesday and Thursday. By today, she was over her cold, and she thanked me by giving me some cloud flooring.

Whitney insulted me, saying I lack a personal style. She said to make a “catch” like her pay attention to me, I need to be edgier.

Whitney: In order to make a catch like me pay attention to you, you gotta be edgier.

She recommended I start up a rap band. That would certainly backfire spectacularly. 😆

Whitney: You should form a band and play rap for me to dance to.

As much as I like Whitney as a character, she doesn’t seem super likable in Wild World. Maybe her snootiness just took a while to catch up with me. So I think Filbert, not Whitney, is currently my favorite villager in town. (I previously ranked Whitney over Filbert, but I reserve the right to change my mind once in a while.) 😆

I posted a new video today, even though it’s not exclusively a Wild World video. It takes a look at the winter vibes throughout the series.

See you next week! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
