"Auntie! You are embarrassing me!! Will you please get out of there and get dressed?"
"Pfft. Honey, I'm 80. You know what the one good thing about living to be 80 is? You get to do whatever the hell it is you want."
"I am not impressed."
But according to your new trait you..........
"I don't give a crap what my trait says."
Welcome back to the BCWYWF legacy. Idril, the oldest member of Generation Six, has just become a child. She rolled "easily impressed" for her trait, in spite of being the exact opposite in regard to her grandmother's antics.
"This family is really embarrassing, aren't they?"
Just ask your Uncle Gaffer.
Let's see, what else happened? We're down to one horse, one unicorn, and a cat. I'm really hoping that Mellie is satisfied with that. Mel and Jacques have two children, so far, Idril and Elros. Beren and Otho have both died, but Lakesha and Nadia are still kicking. I brought Otho over from the graveyard, so he's joined his brother and ancestors in hogging the gnubb and the hot tub.
Here's Iddie after her makeover. I think she's totally adorable.
"Now what the heck is going on over at the hot tub?"
"Hmph, good riddance."
"AGAIN? Geez, Mom!"
"This thing has always been a piece of crap!!"
Iddie, if I were you, I'd just ignore the hot tub altogether until you're a teen. You won't appreciate it before then anyway.
"You're blonde, too! Cool! Your cousins are both blondes, just like me!"
"Well, my mom and dad are both blonde, and my brother."
"There's a lot of us, huh?"
"Looks that way."
"You know what would really make this a party?"
"Oh, do tell."
"Me passing out, and somebody banging in the tent in the backyard!!"
"Oh GOD, you can't be ser....., no, you are, aren't you? You're totally serious."
He's serious.
"Should I wake him up? I can kick him."
And who is crass enough to bump uglies at a child's birthday party?
Lakesha!!!
"What? Nobody else was using it!"
I'm surprised you didn't go for the time machine. That's usually the "inappropriate woohoo" location of choice.
"Oh yeah! I forgot all about the time machine!"
"I rate this party, satisfactory."
Meet Octavio, everyone. Lakesha's younger husband.
"Pleasure."
"Indeed. *giggle*"
We had one more birthday before the night was over. But first.....
it's Terminator Cat!!
"Hasta la vista, baby!"
"Just kidding! Like I can actually leave."
"Ner ner ner ner ner ner, you say it's your birthday! Ner ner ner ner ner ner, it's my birthday, too, yeah!!"
Just get it over with.
Hasufal gets old, to the sounds of a mourning cat, and nobody caring.
One of the first wishes Iddie threw was to visit the art museum.
I'm only locking in unique LTWs.
"Please, as if I'm not unique."
Alrighty, then.
"So, Grandma, I just can't decide between painting and photography, I just love them both. So I'm going to be a Master of the Brush AND a Snap Dragon when I grow up!"
"That's great, Iddie! Your grandpa would be so proud. He and I both love painting. It's what helped bring us together in the first place."
"What actually happened with you and Grandpa?"
"Well honey, your grandpa, bless him, was several bulbs short of a chandelier and decided that fairy tales were more important than his family."
"Oh. That's kind of weird."
"You tell her, sister!!"
"What fairy tales? The one about the little girl and the clown? Or the one about the little girl who marries into a really rich family and gets abducted by aliens?"
"No, nothing that mundane. Your grandpa believed in orcs, which are, as best I can tell, a kind of monster. He always worried about them attacking the town and our home. And nothing anyone told him could dissuade him."
"Oh. Huh. I've never heard of orcs."
"There's a reason for that, sweetie."
Per her wish, Mellie is now in the gardening career.
"But, I take care of the money tree, and that's it!"
Yup, we'll see what your wishes bring.
"Oh NO! I broke it!"
Relax. Your mom will call a repairsim.
"Wow! This house is huge!!"
"Wonder if they'd like a pet?"
Give it up, Merry. You live in the blue crackhouse, loud and proud.
"Hello? Anybody home? Cute kitty at the door!"
Efren Beeblebrox-Bunch: "Hi, fluffy kitty! Would you like to come in?"
"Whoa! I don't even know where to start!!"
Merry successfully kept Efren from doing his homework.
"Gotcha!!!"
"Wait, what the heck??"
"I suspect shenanigans."
Merry spent the night at his new buddy's house. He did some exploring,
and napped on some really nice furniture, which tried to eat him.
"Zzzzzzz don't care, sooooooooo comfortable zzzzzzzZ"
He went back home in the morning.
Uh, Mel? Jacques' carpool came. He's at work.
"Nice of him to drop me a text or something. Sheesh."
Merry is now Old Man Kitty.
"I know of the perfect retirement home."
No.
"Can't I do this later? I'm STARVING!"
Also no.
Very suave.
"Thank you, darling! I do try!"
"Good timing, someone's at the door!"
"That was close!"
Oh for crying out loud, Nadia!
"Hey, I'm a widow!"
You remarried!
"I don't see your point."
"I have a feeling that you should be the one to go answer it, sweetie."
"Okay, fine."
"Oh, Aunt Nadia! Hi! Come on in."
Wouldn't you like to go home? Your aunt is visiting.
"Aunt Leigh?"
No, Nadia.
..........................."She's not really my aunt."
She's close enough.
"Eh."
"I really just want to visit my husband. And maybe play some video games."
She got right to work.
"I love all the cute little animals!!"
Eventually switching venues.
"Cars.........................racing......................................so................................................hypnotic...................."
"WHY AM I SO TIRED??"
I'm getting flashbacks.
"I guess I better go home......................... to my Xbox-less house.............................. at 4am."
Some things never change.
Taking your muffin to school?
"No, I'm going to eat it on the bus."
"Sorry kid, no food on the bus. Please get it out of here."
"But...the taxi."
"I don't care about the taxi, just get your muffin off my bus, please."
"What do I do with it?"
"You can leave it on the sidewalk for all I care."
"Jeez, I didn't know that was a rule. Now I have to wait until lunch. Ugh."
"Hi, I had called a cab, one came but it disappeared, I don't see it anywhere."
"Whoops, it's 9am on the dot! I've got to get this empty bus to the school!"
"And now I'm gonna be late. Man, what a day."
"Hmm. Guess I'm staying home, then. Ooooo, a muffin!!"
"Delicious! Who would leave a perfectly good blueberry muffin on the sidewalk?"
That afternoon Elros had his child birthday.
"At least the horsie came to my party, Mama!"
"Excuse me, I'm a UNICORN, and I'm just passing through."
"Geez, we invited the whole family! Where is everyone?"
Well, Lakesha and Nadia are here.
"Why isn't anyone answering the door?"
"Oh for pete's sake, Lakesha! It's a party! You're not supposed to ring the damn bell."
"If we miss out on cake, AGAIN, because of you, I swear I'm gonna............"
We don't get to find out because some very familiar music let me know why no one was cheering.
Oh give me a break! Dior!! Samwise!! Charlie!! Hasufal!! Get your asses over to the cake! You don't even know this woman!!"
"But, she's DYING."
"Yeah, I cut my ass off for this. I'm seeing it through."
"I love birthday parties!"
Now Grim is just an asshole in a bathing suit.
Patty Garvin-Wing: "What a lovely party! I had a very nice time. Thank you, horsie!"
"You're welcome!"
"We're going to need some more easels."
Elros is now artistic, like so many of his family members before him.
Post makeover.
Had to go out back to see what the commotion was about, did ya'?
Poor Iddie continues to have bad luck with the dishwasher.
"This thing hates me."
"Maybe you should use the sink."
"*sigh*"
"Well hon, now that the kids are a little older, what do you think about taking that honeymoon we put off for so long?"
"Sure, where do you want to go?"
"I'm thinking Egypt. Mom and Dad had a good time when they went, even though they had just gotten divorced."
"Sounds great. What about the kids? Should we send them to your mother's?"
"Let's bring them. I think they'd have fun."
"Okay."
We'll take everyone to Egypt next chapter. Mellie has had a travel wish locked in since she became a young adult, and Iddie needs a camera. Apparently you can only get the good camera in Egypt. So until next time, have a classy cat to hold you over.
"I don't see why my baths are such a big deal."
Does he have the cutest foot or what?
