What do you "assign" to the Shire?

[Thinlómien]

If we are assigning different forum functions, may I assign private messages?

I could also assign music that brings back memories, rain, and creative ways of studying (such as watching a Disney movie in Swedish to develop your listening comprehension skills...).

I assign when babies get all excited and giggle when they see other babies. People tell me they have no concept of friendship until they're actually children, but I'm not convinced.

I also assign nice front gardens. I feel depressed when I see front gardens that aren't cared for, so when you see rows of them full of flowers it's as they ought to be

I assign labor day weekend parades. I just came back from one this morning and I'm telling you there's nothing to compare with it. Old glory proudly flying off the back of every float, everyone's smiling and having a good time, great food, and foot stomping music that you can line dance to. It's one of those rare days that our town gets to come together as Americans and celebrate all that God has given us!

I don't suppose they have the concept per se but they certainly recognise other babies as their own type (in a world populated as giants) - it is the reason the Teletubbies has been so successful with the baby in the sun and they are (apart from the antennae) the shape of a nappied toddler . I remember my godson as a toddler flirting outrageously with the pretty blonde moppet in the highchair at the next table. No language skills required..

Well the little Enting is in love with the little baby girl in the Sun on Teletubbies! He grins at her and then looks at you (which is interesting - why?). He especially likes girls, but I don't know if it's the bright colours they wear or not, however he was sat by another boy yesterday and while he peered at him, he didn't grin and get excited like he does when he sees a girl!

He is going to be like my friend's lad - another redhead with a winning smile. At the first short session of reception class he sat next to the prettiest little blonde girl in the class and told his mother to go away for a coffee and come back later.... one of those vision of the future moments...

I assign autumn, though I still have to wait till the leaves turn from green/yellow to red and the nights become frosty.

But really, I had already started missing the rain and grey skies and darkness and coldness and the slightly rotten smell.
