The Yarns, Clementine part 9

[yarnsim]

Nate: Hello, wee little Chestnut! I just got this feeling ...



Nate: that it's time for you to grow up!
eleme: CAREFUL! DOORFRAME!! *panics*



phew! And what a cutie, even without the elf ears. (bummer!)



But he has his father's eyebrows of AWESOME!



Chestnut: I'm bigger now! *glee*



Chestnut: I can use my hands! And my mouth! .... Oh...hmm. This is most interesting. *noms on peg*



Chestnut: !!!That was most satisfying!!

He loves this toy, he can play with it for hours, lol.



Russet never ceases to surprise. lol



Russet: What?
eleme: Nothing! Just thought it was funny you chose the sink when there are two perfectly working bathtubs in the house, one mere steps away!
Russet: It was a necessary experience.
eleme: ... neccessary?
Russet: What if there were no bathtubs? WHAT IF?! What if a Mammoth Llama trampled our house and we escaped with only the clothes on our back? I'm not going to carry a bathtub if a mammoth llama is stampeding!! Sink bathing is an important skill! *walks away muttering*



eleme: *distracted by Nate's distress*
Nate: Soooooooo hungry!!
eleme: Then why did you stop preparing the food on the counter??



Nate: ... I don't know?



Nate: WOE IS ME!



Nate: WOE IS ME!!!



Marmalade: Oh no!
eleme: OH NOES!



Grim Reaper: Oh yes.



Clementine: *sobs uncontrollably*
C'mon Marmalade! Win him back! Win him back!!



Marmalade: Pleeeeeease!



... uh oh.



Grim Reaper: Well, Mr. Nate Yarn. It looks like you'll be coming with me.
NUUUUUUuuuuuU!!



Marmalade: I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THIS ARRANGEMENT!!
Yeah, me neither darling. You were supposed to win him back!



And just like that, Nate is gone.



Marmalade: *covers mouth in horror*



i'm so sorry bb. *huggles*



And the ghosts just don't give up. I'm pretty sure that Nate's extreme hunger situation was due to a ghost fright (or two). Sigh.



It's another spaghetti dinner! And another lively dinner conversation, or such was the attempt.
Clementine: So, what's your favorite thing sis?
Marmalade: Being married is pretty awesome.



Marmalade: Two best friends, together forever!



Marmalade: OH! but he's gone! *weeps anew*



I don't think this is quite what Clementine had in mind.



Marmalade: If only he was still here.



Without Nate to help with Chestnut, Marmalade is run to exhaustion. Russet, in his newfound teenage independence eagerly steps in to help.
Russet: Here you go little cousin, this is where the poop and pee go!



Russet: *waits*



Russet: *waits*



Russet: *waits some more*



Russet: *stretches*



Russet: You did it!
Chestnut: Of course I did, big cousin. You think I like putting all that stink in my diaper?!



Chestnut decides to stay nearby, in case his mama needs him.



Marmalade: *rubs eyes* Ooohh. That was not restful or comfortable at all! I think I'll go have a bowl of cereal!



Peat: Aunty Marmalade!! Guess what?!
Marmalade: What?
Peat: I had this dream where I was a scuba diver!! And on the bottom of the ocean there was a fish wearing a sparkling necklace!! And I had to get it back!



Marmalade: Back? Why?
Peat: Because it belonged to a beeooooootiful princess, and I was on a quest, of course.
Oh, of course XD



These two are still lovey ... if not *more* lovey these days.



Every caress is bittersweet for Clementine; grateful that her Ben is still here, but achingly aware of her sister's pain.



Russet: Did you know, Father, that it is Earth Day tomorrow?



Ben: Really?
Russet: Yes, really. I have a very special Earth Day presentation at school tomorrow.
Ben: Is it about bugs?



Russet: It's about a special bug! I read about it in the newspaper.



Russet: Scientists are collecting the bug excrement and say it is very valuable and could even save us from the mammoth llamas!



Ben: How could it save us? And what is it with you and the mammoth llamas? There are no mammoth llamas!!



Ben: I mean, unless it's a factory made mammoth llama, but I haven't read anything about that.



Russet: The world just doesn't understand. Why aren't there any stories in the newspaper about mammoth llamas?! They're so much more interesting than hearing about someone's latest hot date.



Ben: Maybe they're saving all the good stories for a cloudy day.

O_o CLEARLY! Got that everyone?! Only get newspapers on cloudy days! lol.



Ben: Clementine is HAWT!



Clementine: What would you think if I got out my little pink heels?
Ben: Right now?? No way!



Clementine: *minus*



Clementine: Well, then can we at least snuggle?



CAN HAZ SNUGGLE!



v. exciting snuggle it seems!





Meanwhile, around the corner ...
Marmalade: Potty time, little Chestnut!
Chestnut: One day, I'm gonna grow up and show them. I'm not LITTLE! *smiles sweetly*

Potty face spam!!









/potty spam.



Peat: Hey, little cuz! That peg goes in here! *points helpfully*



Chestnut: I'M NOT LITTLE AND I KNOW IT GOES THERE! *rages*
Peat: Whooa, he can cry loud!



Chestnut: *glares*



!!



Chestnut: OH! Hooray!! I did it!! *glee*
Yay toddler attention span! lol.

Next time with the Yarns: Unhappy events transpire and reader input will be solicited! Stay tuned!
