I assign impressing my parents so much (aka, proving that I am willing to do whatever pops into their minds at a moment's notice) that they let me move the Internet computer into my room!!!

I'm assigning puppies. The end. My puppy is no longer technically a puppy (he's going to be 5 on christmas!) but as long as they are still adorable, puppy should be applicable.

When he *was* a puppy:

A more current one meeting my sister's new puppy (a King Charles Cavalier):

That first pic is just hilarious and amazing!

It looks like the traditional sweet little happy-puppy every child would love... but look at the expression! Like an oldtimer expressing resignation, but still looking with sympathy to the younger generations facing their own existential anguishes...
