Story Time


This is Gilbert and Gib
no I do not know him

Explanation: My mom and I went to Ikea to shop for college things and stuff for my room that i recently rearranged. So I walked around the showrooms while my mom sat and read her book. I found some fun stuff and when I went back to mom to show her the things I liked we passed the bin of these stuffed dogs. i just picked one up and it fit so perfectly and was so comfortable that I just held it. I told my mom that i would carry it around the store then put it back when were done. But as we got farther and deeper into the showrooms I forgot that I was carrying him. (I got the male vibe from the stuffed animal, I don't know.) I got some weird looks and i didn't get why until i realized i was still carrying the dog. mom asked me if i wanted it for my birthday and i nodded.

when we were in line to check out there was an couple behind us and the guy mentioned that the ikea stuffed animals were very animated and emotional. then we started talking.. about college, and stuff for college, and being a Community Advisor for college people, then we got back to the dog. i said "I still need to name him" and he said "well my name is Gib, and Gib backwards is Big and he certainly is a big dog. Or Gilbert, but no one gets to call me that and it's rather unusual..." That was it. i knew it. Gilbert. Perfect.

Then just before we left i asked to take a picture with my disposable camera of Gib and Gilbert. and than i rrrraaaaannnnnn!!! well not really...
