When I played on Tuesday, I received my monthly bank statement from the postal division at town hall. I earned 78,600 bells in interest this month.

Drift was wondering why Pelly and Phyllis never hang out together, despite the fact that they both work at town hall…and they’re sisters.

It’s a good question, but I guess they get on each other’s nerves. Not only because of their very different personalities, but there’s also that whole Pete situation too.

It was Filbert’s birthday, so I went over to his house for his birthday party. I gave him a mermaid statue for his gift, and he seemed to enjoy it.

As you can see in that photo, Tank was also at the party. He said he was about to do his “Muscle Hustle” dance!

I got out of there before Tank did anything my eyes would regret seeing. But happy birthday, Filbert! 🎂🎈

Robin was sick with a cold Tuesday and Wednesday, and I gave her some medicine both days. By today, she was feeling better. She gave me a fancy carpet to thank me for the medicine.

I listened in on an interesting conversation between Tank and Truffles in the rain today. Tank had heard that Truffles wanted to be Forest’s official cheerleader, so he wanted to hear her cheer. It was…odd.

Those two sentences made up her entire cheer. Tank was not impressed.

Tank thought that he could do better, so he gave it a try.

But he was just getting started. His cheer had four page of lines, and to be fair, he really brought it.

Not only was his cheer longer and better, but he had much more enthusiasm. Truffles was speechless. I guess Tank is now Forest’s official cheerleader. 😆

You know how villagers’ catchphrases will be temporary replaced with things like “itchy” and “yowee” when they have fleas? Well, this is still true even when they’re asking for a new catchphrase. Caroline asked me for a phrase to replace “sheesh,” which of course wasn’t her catchphrase. I told her to say “stop it” instead.

Caroline tried to confirm what I told her, but that too was replaced by the flea-related “yow” instead. 😆

If any players didn’t know fleas caused this, they would surely be confused by this whole conversation.

But I then caught her flea to cure her speech condition…and she told me to stop it. As she should.

I don’t recall ever seeing that happen before, but it was pretty amusing!

I’ll see you all next week. Never Stop Crossing!

Yesterday, Robin asked me for some new clothes. I checked the lost and found, and I grabbed an orange tie-dye that was in there. Robin said that I’m beginning to understand what beauty is…so I guess that means she likes the shirt. 😛

She rewarded me with 510 bells.

Whitney was also talking about fashion, but not about shirts. She wanted a fashionable alternative to a backpack or tote bag…but a fanny pack was not an acceptable choice.

Curt was telling me about dig spots, which is obviously something you learn very early on in any Animal Crossing game. This seemed like a very tutorial-ish bit of dialogue…

However, it then took a turn. Instead of there just being a fossil buried, he said maybe it could be pirate booty or even a secret underground pirate lair! Wow!

Now that I’d like to see! 🏴‍☠️ Except that it would probably just be Resetti wearing a pirate hat. 😆

Today, Drift reminded me that Filbert’s birthday is coming up on June 3rd. That’s next Tuesday, so I hope I remember to play that day! Anyway, Drift asked me if a bottle cap is a good gift idea.

I told him it sounded good, and he said it didn’t matter what I thought!

Caroline asked me to join her exclusive walking club…that does nothing but walk around, like she does anyway. 😛

And over by town hall, Truffles asked if I’d like to help her recycle some of her old junk. I agreed to help out, but then she realized she left the furniture at home.

And yet we couldn’t go to her house to get it. 😛 I think she was just lying about the whole thing.

Have a great weekend, and I’ll be back with more next week. Never Stop Crossing!

Curt complimented me on my house Wednesday, saying it was really impressive. He said the only thing I’m missing is a giant yard gnome.

I caught a flea that was on Robin, and she had an unusual reaction. She said that everyone has fleas…

…and she even said they’re a must-have accessory this season! 😆

I shot down a balloon present and found a free propane stove inside! That’s a hot deal! (But where can I buy some propane and propane accessories?)

Tonight, I ran into Tank close to the beach. He warned me not to pick up his shells.

He said that’s how he makes ends meet. And yet I’ve never seen him pick up a single shell. 🐚

Tank may view that strategy as a “shore thing,” but I think it would only work at a snail’s pace. Well, good luck with that, Tank.

A new message posted to the bulletin board appears to have been posted by Pete! Instead of the usual “Talking to Myself” heading, this one says “Talking to Pete’s Self.”

Whitney asked me for a new catchphrase to replace “snappy.” I wanted to tell her to say “at the moon,” but that wouldn’t fit. So I went with “all night.” She then asked if I like to go out and catch bugs, and I said no (just to see how she responded). She replied by saying she had no idea why she was even holding a net!

She even said that she sometimes forgets what she is doing…which she blames on her ex. 😆

On that note, I’m going to wrap up this week’s entry. Have a great weekend, everyone!
