I love Animal Crossing, but sometimes I can't help but think the other villagers are humoring me. They keep giving me shirts and even at their most disappointed they hide it in a wash of compliments. My theory is that the Villager's mother was a brilliant scientist that turned forest animals into sentient beings. She left her clueless and spoiled child behind when she died, and the rest of the town tolerates him because they respect his mother and he has opposable thumbs.
Also I like to imagine whenever we don't see Sheik it's because she's hiding in a tree brooding and being mysterious.
