  > Look around
  The cabinet that is also like an endtable for the loveseat and the couch is here. You can go north back to behind the loveseat.
  
  Way up on top of the cabinet you see a paper coaster.
  
  Jemison and Zoe are here. Jemison is all staring at the velcro jangly balls which you are holding. Zoe has her eye on you (not literally).
  
  > go to the north
  You jangle your way out of the room.
  
  Back here is the back of the loveseat casting a shadow over you, it is kind of cold. You can go south and east. You could go west but there is totally a door in your way. You could go north in the hall but there is a baby gate in the way there.
  
  Jemison comes in after you and settles close by you and looks pointedly at the velcro jangly balls.
  
  > go east
  You are all jangle jangle jangle as you leave.
  
  This is the part of the loveseat that is to the north. It goes on to the south and you could totally slip around the end of the loveseat to the west. There is the rocking chair to the east as well, that is always fun.
  
  Lisa's legs are hanging off of the loveseat.
  
  You can also see a medium plastic block here.
  
  Jemison comes in after you and settles close by you and looks pointedly at the velcro jangly balls.
  
  > climb on the medium block
  The block is just short enough that you cannot pull yourself up on it and tall enough that you cannot really climb up on it from the floor.
  
  Jemison cannot look away from you and the velcro jangly balls.
  
  > Go north
  You are all jangle jangle jangle as you leave.
  
  The gliding rocking chair is all tall and wooden. It is where the mom rocks you when she thinks you need a nap even though you do not need naps. The loveseat is west and there is a small open area to the east and a big open area in the middle of the room to the south.
  
  There are Becca's legs, they are by the rocking chair.
  
  You can also see a plush book, a teeny squeezy book, a smooth rock, and a teething ring here.
  
  Jemison comes in after you and settles close by you and looks pointedly at the velcro jangly balls.
  
  > spit up on Jemison
  You would but your mouth is all full.
  
  > check what you're carrying
  You are carrying:
  some velcro jangly balls
  a soft foam block (being chewed)
  
  > Show balls to Jemison
  He makes this motion towards the velcro jangly balls and you pull it away, ha ha, this is like taking candy away from a you.
  
  > check your inventory

  Jemison reaches out and pokes at the velcro jangly balls.
  
  > Go east
  You jangle your way out of the room.
  
  You are east of the gliding rocking chair that is fun to ride on and north of the big TV that Sesame Street comes from. On the wall is a big bookcase full of chewy books. There is a way into the kitchen to the north but one of those baby gates is there, that is no fair.
  
  Part of your playpen is here, there is more of it to the southwest.
  
  You can also see a little doll, a much-loved kangaroo, a plastic cup, and a squishy ball here.
  
  Jemison comes in after you and settles close by you and looks pointedly at the velcro jangly balls.
  
  The mom asks the other parent people, "Do any of you have a suggestion for a baby sitter?" W. T. F.
  
  > Go south
  You are all jangle jangle jangle as you leave.
  
  The entertainment center here holds the TV all towering above you and it has these glass doors beneath the TV that you can see stereo equipment through. You are near the couch to the south and the middle of the living room to the west and there is a small open area to play in to the north.
  
  There is this baby swing right in front of the TV.
  
  Jemison comes in after you and settles close by you and looks pointedly at the velcro jangly balls.
  
  The mom goes on, "We've got a Christmas party to go to in a month or so, and we've never used a babysitter before." No, really--W. T. F.???
  
  > go to the west
  You jangle your way out of the room.
  
  This is the middle of the living room, it is all big and vast. This is where everybody plays because it is so big. But when you get bored there is a bunch of other stuff you can go to like the TV to the east and the loveseat to the west and the couch to the south and the gliding rocking chair to the north.
  
  Part of your playpen is here, there is more of it to the northeast.
  
  You can also see a medium plastic block and a tall plastic block here.
  
  Jemison comes in after you and settles close by you and looks pointedly at the velcro jangly balls.
  
  Marion says, "Didn't you have luck with Susan, Lisa?" Susan, that's a name that sounds okay.
  
  > Go west
  You jangle your way out of the room.
  
  This is the south end of the loveseat, there is more loveseat to the north and a big play area to the east and to the south is the couch that is bigger than the loveseat.
  
  Jemison comes in after you and settles close by you and looks pointedly at the velcro jangly balls.
  
  Lisa says, "I've used Susan two--no, three times. She said Cassie was great." Lisa pauses all thoughtful like. "Maybe she was lying to get a bigger tip."
  
  > go to the south
  You jangle your way out of the room.
  
  The couch is very long and this is the west part of it. There is a loveseat to the north and more couch to the east.
  
  There is a red footstool, it is right next to the couch.
  
  You can see Parry or at least his legs over by the couch.
  
  You can also see a rattly car, a heavy tumbler, and a short plastic block here.
  
  Cassie is looking around for mischief to make.
  
  Jemison comes in after you and settles close by you and looks pointedly at the velcro jangly balls.
  
  "I didn't think she was all that," Becca says. "I had her keep Zoe once. Susan and Zoe didn't get along at all." This Susan is sounding better all the time.
  
  Jemison stares at you and waits for you to drop the velcro jangly balls.

  "I'll give her a call, then," the mom says.
  
  > Wait
  Time passes.
  
  > take the tumbler
  You move towards the tumbler but Parry picks it up and says "No, that's my glass." And then the mom chimes in, "Hey, kiddo, no mouth! No mouth." Once you back off Parry puts the tumbler back down.
  
  Jemison stares at you and waits for you to drop the velcro jangly balls.

  You are all jangle jangle jangle as you leave.

  > give the balls to Cassie
  You show the velcro jangly balls to Cassie who looks at it and then shows you the rattly car in response.
