Pick it up Dan . Clean out a spot in the middle of the catch-all spot, roll it in there, carefully cover it with whatever for a few days. Invite her out and start the conversation all over again with her on how you would like a trike or something along those lines to ride. While shes there let her look your piles over for awhile until she says "You don't need a trike I think I see something in your junk piles that would work". You non-nonchalantly walk over and say "I think your right honey". Now she's happy that she found it for you and it didn't cost her a thing and your the winner! WIN, WIN!!!
