Right Here

It is a boy's place. It looks like a map of the whole world and the Star Wars Galaxy, photos of the Space Shuttle and a needlepoint picture of Mighty Mouse. Glow-in-the-dark planets hang from the ceiling and a drum set sits on the floor. It sounds like Party Rock and Thriller and the cricket who is living somewhere in the closet. A basket of cars, a basket of dinosaurs, and a replica of the Batcave sit under the window.  There are seven very well-loved stuffed animals, thousands of Legos, and one pirate ship.  It smells like the damp dog asleep on the bed. It is my favorite room in the house.
