Groooooooowing Up!
May: "*sigh* So tired . . Mom, what are you wearing now?"
May: ". . . . You're not Mom."
Carolyn: "Sister! I'm glad to see you're well."
May: ". . . CAROLYN?!"
Carolyn: "Indeed, dear sister! I've arrived back from military school just last night! I wouldn't say it was my first choice for an education but I have learned how to be Brave from this whole experience so all is not for naught!"
May: "Wow, you''ve gotten . . less conservative."
Yes, Carolyn's back as a young adult! With a stylish new hairstyle I didn't even give her. She's practically a clone of Darlene, which is what we've come to expect from a time machine baby somehow.
May: "Mom, WHY is she here?!"
Darlene: "Because she graduated from school . . ?"
May: "So yeah, doesn't that mean she can move out and get out of our hair now?"
Darlene: "Seriously? We need all the help we can get"
And help she shall! She seems enthralled to have babies to take care of, in fact. Man, with all this help around, this is turning out to be a lot easier than when it was just Marc and Darlene! Although they still do most of the work, mind you.
Later . .
This horrible joke of a romance is still continuing, as May serenades Jamil by playing the drums. Doesn't seem like the most romantic choice of instruments, but hey, anything to potentially snip this in the bud. The paparazzi documents all of the potential embarrassment for May's later years.
The cowplant looks on.
The idiot loves it, of course. He looks like he's pissing himself with joy.
Uuuuugh. May, it's gonna be your birthday soon! Then what will you do? No pedos in this game, remember?
10 points for at least pretending to do your homework while watching her sleep. Another 10 points for actually watching the right girl this time.
Still not enough, though.
WILD HORSES INVADE TRANSITION!!
Time passes, la dee da dee da~
THEN!!
BIRTHDAY TIME!
Carolyn: "Many congratulations on your birthday, sister!"
May: "Forget about that, look what I can do with my arm!"
Jamil: "Who cares, IS IT TIME TO EAT CAKE YET?!"
TA DA!! New super shiny young adult May!
Aaaaand she looks awkward again. May is just going to be one of those Sims that should never be allowed to have long hair. And how did she grow out her hair but the hair dye is still there?
Hurray!! I thought it would be forever until I saw May grow up to an adult . . to think I've carried her from an infant until now! It seems like a decade ago.
Marc: "WOOOOO!!! . . . Am I late?"
May: "Yes, Dad. Yes you are."
Later, Carolyn decides she doesn't really know anyone around town besides Ethan. So she decides to get to know her neighbors across the street!
Tony: "Oh hello Darlene! No more vampire problems, I take it?"
Carolyn: "Pardon . . ? Oh, you must be thinking of my mother! I am her daughter, Carolyn"
Tony: "Carolyn . . Carolyn . . Why does that name sound so familiar . ."
Carolyn: "I think we may have seen each other here and there! Or perhaps my mother has mentioned me in a conversation at one time."
Tony: "No, that's not it . . There's something else . . Well, anyway. Glad to see you're doing well for yourself, especially being in an entirely different time period and all."
Carolyn: "Indeed, there is much to learn, but I'm very much enjoying this time! So many strange rituals, or holidays rather-- oh speaking of that, I've forgotten! There's somewhere I must be right now!"
Tony: "Oh?"
Carolyn: "Today is the day they give the dilplumas! To my sister and I! I must be there, or I cannot prove all that I've learned, nor can I help others!"
Yes, Carolyn has changed her lifetime wish from Star News Anchor to World Renowned Surgeon. Very Virgo-ish!
Tony: "Oh, you mean diplomas? That's right, today's Graduation Day, isn't it? Well I must be heading to the civic center for work anyway. I wouldn't mind if you tagged along!"
Carolyn: "Truthfully?! Oh thank you very much!"
Meanwhile, the other side of the family manages to get there even later than Carolyn does . .
Because Tucker and June have to tag along too! Although why does the graduation girl have to hold one of them?! I don't see you carrying anything else, Darlene!
I don't know who decided that taking two infants into a crowded auditorium for a celebration would be a good idea . .
Aaaaaaand the crying begins. So ya'll are gonna be that kinda family today.
They somehow manage to make it through the entire celebration without getting kicked out, but then we all discover why we don't let the graduate hold the baby.
May: "WOO HOO!! No more school! I'm FREE!! FREEEEEE!!!"
Marc: "MAY! You dropped June!"
May: "Duh, I can't hold her AND throw my hat in the air at the same time!"
Marc: "*siiiiiigh* Darlene, go get June"
Darlene: "Who?! . . . Oh yeah, June. . . What's she doing on the ground?"
Marc: "FOR GOD SAKES, PAY ATTENTION DARLENE"
Darlene: "Yeah yeah . . if she has brain damage, she'll still fit into this family so I don't see why you're worryin' so much . ."
Tony: "What in the snapshicking wollywiggles is going on out here?!"
Paparazzi: "Mad Scientist Marc Wagner With Newest Son . . Next Experiment?! Heh heh heh . ."
Tony: "Hello, Darlene! Or Carolyn. Or Darlene. You know what, I don't even know anymore."
Darlene: "You should be able to tell who I am from my skin tone alone! And hello to you too"
Tony: "I see it's going swell with the new twins!"
Darlene: "Hardly. I mean yes. Actually, better than last time."
Later, Carolyn is still intent on picking up where she left off with her neighbors across the street, and starts becoming pretty close with Oriole.
Carolyn: "He is a police officer?"
Oriole: "Yeah, you know . . Well, I keep forgetting you're not from this century. He pretty much gets to boss people around all day. You know, uphold the law."
Carolyn: "That seems like it would be a very important profession for a simple civilian to have!"
Tony: "Hey, I think I just saw a hand come out of the ground just now! Look!"
Oriole: "Well, maybe for him, as one who uses his profession to jump on trampolines and tell people to do ridiculous things all day and such"
Tony: "Really guys, I think I'm looking at something really weird outside here!"
Oriole: "Uh huh honey, I bet it's a unicorn just like last time, right?"
Tony: "It WAS a unicorn last time! And come here and look at this, this is really creepy!"
Oriole: "Just ignore him, he's doing one of his TONY things again"
Tony: "No seriously guys, you should really come look at this!"
Oriole: "Oh, I bet you've never even ridden a bike, have you?! That's the first thing I'm gonna teach you!"
"Braaaaaiiiinnsssss"
Tony: "Guuuuuuyyyyyssss . ."
Meanwhile . .
April: "Hey pops! How ya doin'?"
Butler: "Sir, I think there's a ghost over there near the bed. What would you like me to do?"
Marc: "Nothin', that's all normal around here. Just leave her be, she likes to sleep in here."
But for once, she doesn't sleep. She just stands there and stares at the Treehouse Twins for a very, very long time. I wonder what she's thinking?
