The Adventures of Ernie, the Magical Gnome
Sequence of events in the Sims 3. Hopefully this little snippet of a story will give you the giggles it gave me.
Once upon a time, there was a magical gnome who was found rotting in the catacombs, forgotten in the dark and the dank.
When Olive Langerak found him there, she took him home to keep her existing garden gnome company. This new gnome she named Ernie. The original gnome, who was never given a name, felt threatened by this new gnome, who was thinner of frame and had a bedazzled hat.
The original gnome could tried to make himself more interesting than this usurper. He changed his top and hat, in hopes that the sims would again favor him. This caused Ernie to laugh with disdain, for while the original gnome could change colors as he couldn't, Ernie could run and hop and lounge. He could see the world, or at least more of the garden.
Ernie delighted in showing off his talents to the original gnome.
But gnomes of all types are still seen as good for the kicking by certain sims. This was true to Parker Langerak, and he found that Ernie was just as kickable as the original gnome, and even more amusing to abuse due to his daring stance.
Yes, magical gnomes go down like any other.
"Poor Ernie!" Olive cried.
Olive righted her beloved gnome, but his magic was broken. From then forward, he would no longer be known as Ernie, the Magical Gnome. Now, he was Ernie, the Equally Kickable Gnome, Who Stands on His Head Forevermore.
My family's tree. I started with Olive Summers. Hunter (who is actually younger) is now married to Eugenia Osborne and about to move out.
Household images are much more varied, I've noticed.
