The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Damn Straight!
Wanna know why I am woohooing?

Because I just unpacked the very last box.
More than that, everything has a place!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Woo Hoo Perkins! I was in my house five years before that happened.

Well, to be honest, there are a couple of boxes of papers that I am hiding in corners, but still, this is more unpacked that I was the entire time I was in my last apartment.
Now I just have to do the "secondary" stuff, like get stuff on the walls.

Some things have no logical place, and that's the problem with them. Might I suggest these boxes live in the closet? Is there room?

I have decided the out of sigt corners are the logical place for them, or or least some of them.
It works for me.

If it works for you, then you are unpacked. Those things are no longer unpacked. They are categorized and stored. That's a whole different ballgame.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dunno what that says about me.
That you're not a Weather Girls fan.
Actually, since talking to my mother, I've had the lyrics American Pie rolling around in my head. We stumbled over the pronunciation of levee, see...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Nutty, after they go through the smile and nod phase, they go through the phase of assuming you can see everything they see, when they're on the phone with you, so the wonder niece will be constantly "showing" you stuff on the phone.
There's a fantastic documentary called A Child's World that goes through how kids develop, and it notes that they go through this stage. (You have a girl on the phone showing her grandfather her new dress by waving the handpiece over it. It's very cute.) It has some great demonstrations, like when it gets a dog, puts a cat mask on it and asks kids of varying ages whether it's a dog or a cat. (Before five, pretty much all of them will say it's now a cat. Cass, one kid called it a puppycat.)
Incidentally, monkeys have the same characteristic of not being able to distinguish that others can't just see what they see. The great apes, on the other hand, have the capacity to realise that (for instance) a person with a bucket on his head can't see the peanuts, even though the orangutan can, and they will need to be directed.
