(Also pictured: BJ Bigfoot)
narrated by Timothy Seifert
You'd think I'd be used to my life not being exactly normal at this point, given that I have a Sasquatch living in my house. But honestly, most of the time I think about what every guy my age thinks about--like the fact that my daughter somehow became a beautiful young woman overnight and I should really buy a shotgun so I can sit on the porch and clean it when boys come over. Not that Cait brings boys over for anything but study dates. She's like me and her mom, nose always buried in a book. But if any of her study buddies start getting fancy ideas, I'll be ready.
All of the kids are getting older right under my nose, come to think of it. Stacy has started school now.
We managed to get her into private school with the other kids--I was worried we'd have trouble on account of BJ but the headmaster babbled on for a while about being in tune with nature and then informed us our application had been accepted, so I guess that's a success. At least she'll have Pat with her at the elementary school for a few years so she'll be looked after.
It used to be that Pat and Stacy shared a room, so poor Cait wouldn't get woken up in the night every time one of them had a wet diaper or a bad dream, but now that everybody's older and Pat's getting to the age where he wants a little more privacy, we rearranged things so Cait and Stacy are sharing.
(They have two dressers and another desk on the opposite side of the room.)
Pat's room is huge--Jeannie says it's bigger than the whole house she and her 3 siblings grew up in, though I think she might be exaggerating a bit--but it's not his fault he's the only boy.
So, yeah, life is pretty boring. The most exciting thing that happens is usually eating breakfast with my lovely wife and listening to her talk about how she's investigating some celebrity stalker.
And the kids have friends over near every day, which keeps things loud and crazy.
Anyway, I meant to talk about the telescope thing. Jeannie got it for me for my 50th birthday, a huge fancy thing. And sure, I guess I might have been spending a little too much time out there, late at night, when the kids were in bed and I should have been too since I go to work pretty early in the morning.
Jeannie says that I probably got so tired I started hallucinating, but all I'm going to say is it sure didn't
seem like a hallucination when I got sucked into a giant flying saucer and then spat back out on my front lawn a few hours later, with no memory of what happened in between. I guess we'll see if I come down with any funky alien diseases or anything.
Notes:
1. Caitlin is Knowledge aspiration, LTW City Planner, turned on by blond hair and mechanical skill but turned off by black hair.
2. So! Turns out that if your Sim's Science enthusiasm gets high enough, they can "summon aliens." Which results in...summoning aliens. I don't know if this is going to lead to little green babies in this already weird household, but I guess we'll find out next round.
A good morning coffee read for me, thank you :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, the "Summon Aliens" option appears with many of my Sims, but I very rarely use it, because it nearly always results in pregnancy... Loki Beaker was allowed to use it, because he needed three children to graduate from college for his LTW, and I did not want to impose it all on Circe.
Did you hear the "baby" jingle when Timothy was returned from the UFO?
I don't recall if I did or not; I often play on mute these days since I can really only play during my son's naptime and the game can get quite loud sometimes.
