The Yarns, Clementine 3

[yarnsim]

Back at home again, Clementine and Ben settle into the odd routines that make up life in the Yarn household. For example, Clementine had an interesting lunch with her father, who forgot to dress after bathing.



She also got back to painting; apparently art buyers consider her paintings "masterpieces."



Ben: Have I told you the story of how I dueled a pirate?
Ash: A pirate?!?
Ben: Yes! My sword swished by him and he spun like a top trying to avoid it's shiny point.
Ash: You had a sword?!



Ben: Remember? Clem showed you pictures from our honeymoon, and there was one of me with a sword, dueling a pirate!
Ash: ??!?!
Ben: On an old pirate ship that washed ashore on Twikkii Island, I dueled a pirate!



Ash: Oohh yes! That did sound very exciting.
Ben: It was exhilarating! The whoosh of the sword! The weight of it in my hand! You really should try it someday.



While on the Island, Ben picked up the local greeting gesture - hang loose. Clementine was so busy hula-ing, sleeping, and eating pinapple delight that she was confused by it the first time Ben greeted her with "hang loose" - but she's a good sport and attempted to do it in return.



She picked it up fast!



Clementine: Um, Ben? Dad? Mom? I think it's coming!



How appropriate Clem, I'm sure you don't remember it but you yourself were born in this very bathroom! It's a very popular bathroom :D



And it's a boy! He's got his mother's hair



... and ALIEN EYES! O_O! Now that was a surprise! I love you already little baby!



Everyone else is very eager to meet the baby too!



Clearly the bathroom needs a bigger door.



The brown generation is here!! Welcome to the world, little Russet Yarn. (Russet for the color, the thing you dig up from the earth, and of course ... a brown yarn.)



Russet is one well-loved little baby.





There is no shortage of adults ready to clean his bum



or play with him



or cuddle him close.



Which allows his parents to spend some time together doing grown up things!
Ben: Your move, sweets.
Clementine: *ponders*



Ben is fond of the outdoors, and has picked up pruning and weeding techniques from Ash.



He's also apparently interested in learning Tai Chi from Marmalade. Seems he wants to learn a little something from everyone!



Clementine, meanwhile, is loving the hula dancing!









Apparently so is Brooke. I love the expressions on their face while they're dancing!!



OH NOES!!



Brooke & Marmalade: *worry*
Ash: *bes electrocuted*



With electricity continuing to surge through his body, Ash decides to make an omlette.

?!?!?!



Oooh, that can't be good.



Since everything was broken, and apparently Ash couldn't fix it, they called the repair shop. Thank goodness, every appliance was broken and every plumbing fixture was clogged or leaking.



Ben: What did the monster say when he saw a rush hour train full of passengers?
Ash: Oh I love the train joke!!



Ash: He said, "Oh good! A chew chew train!"
Ben: Yeah! AHAHHahahaha!



Ash: Have you heard the one about the scientist?



oh YAY! Body skill maxed! Only a few more points needed for that final promotion!



Ash: *holds Russet and bes electrofiying*
Brooke: Wow my husband's hot / I maximized a skill! Hooray!
Clementine: ... should he really be holding the baby when he's ... sparking like that?
Me: ... I really don't know. I just don't know.



be careful Clementine!



=O! I heard a jingle!



Clementine & Ben: *mwah*



Ben: I love you, sweets.
Clementine: I love you too *grins happily*



Meanwhile, Ash and Marmalade toss a football back and forth (how shocking)!



Back in the house ...
Clementine: You should have seen it! Palm trees swaying above my head, music playing in the bright sunshine, a woman in a grass skirt dancing beside me, my own body moving to the rhythm! It was practically meditative!
Brooke: I can understand that; I've always thought dance was a good time for recentering and reflecting - whether it's hula or ballet.
Clementine: Well no wonder you spent so much time at the ballet bar!
Brooke: And now we can dance together.
Clementine & Brooke: *happy grins*







Those last elusive skill points ...



...so we can get that last promotion...



...and stop abusing poor cup friend.

GO BROOKE!



Clementine: *almost pukes*
bowl of breakfast cereal: *bes alarmingly fresh and apparently puke inducing*



Clementine: I don't feel good. *groans*
Me: Don't feel good like when you had the flu? Or don't feel good like when you were pregnant with Russet?



Clementine: like I'm pregnant! *continues feeling nauseus*



Look! I'm following Orange gen guidelines!!! And look! Clementine is painting her honeymoon!



Russet has an electrifying birthday ... and he has POINTY EARS!!! He's phenomenal - red hair, alien eyes, and pointy ears. Oh, and well it looks like Ben's big nose is there too :D



POP!

And Russet spam, because I can (and cuz he' cute)!!









Next time with the Yarns: More Russet cuteness!! And more! Stay tuned!
