The Mers (Mercy and Mervin) Have Their Birthday

Come on - wake up - cheer up! It's your birthday.

A doll (classic feminine plaything) for the girl.

And for the boy, a tractor (classic masculine plaything).

I can only conclude that a man looks in the direction his tractor points.

Conrad's tractor.

Made by Kristen; loved by Mercy.

When Mervin opened his markers...

...Conrad immediately made a motion to form a white-wall-protection society.

This guy refused to second the motion.

(Get it?)

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.

Mercy dared to dream of a rainbow cake, and she really did get it.
