Her parents were skeptical that her two year old sibling could really be doing this, so they set up a webcam to see what really happened in the night. Here's the proof. More details at the local news site - the girl locked her own door to try and keep her brother out, and he's using a pair of nail clippers to pick the lock.

There were four in the bed and the little one said "squeeze up"

From April 2013 all working-age housing benefit claimants will experience a reduction in their benefit if their home has what is termed a 'spare bedroom'. Some people have a problem with this, and it is believed it will plunge 95,000 Britons into poverty. Prime Minister David Cameron has defended the tax saying it is important to "get control of housing benefit". Some who voted for the tax claim to have never heard of it, even though there are some high profile cases in the media detailing how people will suffer. The Bedroom Tax might be targeting the poor, but there may be a Mansion Tax in the planning stages to help balance the scales -- or not. It's a modern Window Tax!

Ones who does not have Triforce can't go in.

My Son’s Zelda Nursery: "This is what has been keeping me busy for the past 3 months. As soon as I found out we were having a boy I knew I wanted his room to inspire adventure, creativity, and exploration. Having a place to like that to grow up in would be amazing!" [via] "My awesome friend Wes – who did the Yoshi’s Island nursery for his daughter – made all this possible. I was able to tell him my vision for the room, and he took it out of my brain and put it on the wall… exactly as I imagined it. The amazing art that you see is his, he sketched all of it on the wall freehand! He also did the painting save for base coats, some under layers, and the clouds. I’ll never be able to properly thank him. In total, we spent over 150 hours on the room over the course of 3 months. It feels good to be finished. In truth, I wanted to grow up in this room. I will enjoy it as much as my son will, maybe even more. I can’t wait to rock him to sleep, telling him stories of heroes and adventure while looking at these walls. Soon, little man. Our house and hearts are prepared for you."

"The bed has become a place of luxury to me! I would not exchange it for all the thrones in the world."

When Brandon left for camp, his last words were, "stay out of my room!" Unfortunately for Brandon, he has the ~~meanest~~ most awesome family in the entire world. Of course, they posted the entire thing on facebook. Here are some of the things they got up to while he was gone: Dancing in lederhosen! Christmas! With a puppy! Epic lightsaber battles! Classic Peanuts characters! PacMan! William Tell reenactments! Girls have cooties, LOL! Pie-eating contests! Pillow forts! Open mic night! Senior shenanigans! Dog grooming! Dwight Schrute stopped by! The 2011 Oscars! Drive-thru window! Thank goodness they upgraded from McDonalds! Some guy with a plane! This totally happened!
