...Presenting Xavier!

This story took place a month ago.

Xavier, Nina's nephew, was browsing the internet and came upon Guinness World Records, specifically the people who have the world's largest collections of memorabilia of their favorite franchises and have earned it - there's a guy who collects all kinds of Squishy the Griffin merchandise and even props and things used by cast and crew members during filming, a woman with countless Wallace the Peeh plushes, a woman with Pokeghost, a man with Cute Critters merchandise, but mainly plushes, a woman with more than a thousand Glitzies, and a handful of people with Doctor What, Sky Wars, and Henry Porter collections, to name a few. Honestly, Xavier was jealous of these people, but he knew he was the #1 Kari and Friends fan (to quote his mom, Melanie) and had more pieces of merchandise of that childhood show than anyone else, so, he knew he had to get the Guinness World Record for largest collection of Kari and Friends memorabilia.

XAVIER: Mom, mom, mom, mom, mom!
MELANIE: What is it, X?
XAVIER: I want the Guinness World Record! I want the Guinness World Record!
MELANIE: The Guinness World Record, why?
XAVIER: I have a lot of Kari and Friends items, maybe the most in the entire world. There are people who have the larges collection of memorabilia of things, and I want that!
MELANIE: Well, X, maybe for Christmas or for your birthday.
XAVIER: But, no! I have to have it, like, right now!
MELANIE: Oh, really?
XAVIER: Yeah, I'm not trying to be greedy or bratty, but I just own the most Kari and Friends items in the world, that's all!
MELANIE: Well, then, let me go to their website and apply you.
XAVIER: YES!

To get the Guinness World Record for largest collection of Kari and Friends memorabilia, Xavier had to take a picture of all his Kari and Friends merchandise (no, really), which was a really easy task, because he has a whole room of his Kari and Friends items, and an inspector came to count his items. Afterwards, Xavier got the record. It was a really happy day for him!

XAVIER: I got the record! I got the record! I ALWAYS wanted the Guinness World Record, and, now, I have it!
MELANIE: Ha, ha, well, maybe, someday, someone else in the Lepe or Sicurella family, or maybe even one of Nina's friends from Pennsylvania, will get it, too, large collection or no.
ROBERTO: I do hear Patty was the first person ever to watch the Taroobaloo reboot, so, maybe.

The moral of our story is to never give up, live your dreams, and be proud of the franchise you love and that you love it.
