I opened a door with a stupid joke, and I’m sure Waddell (we’re obviously beyond formalities now) wasn’t quite ready to reveal what’s behind it. But he goes on… Waddell: I found out when I was 16, after a terrible bicycle accident. It’s been devastating, but I’m finally beginning to come to terms with it….
Prosperity: How’s teaching going so far? Waddell: Great! *lights up* My students are always a bright spot in my life. I have a good class this year. I miss Kai, though. He was the best student I’ve ever had. Prosperity: Thank you! He starts high school on Monday, if you can believe it. Waddell: He’ll…
Kai is leaving for Sulani today. I spend as much time with him as I can before it’s time for me to go to my first final. Prosperity: Make sure you pack enough underwear. Always take more than you’ll need because you never know. Kai: I will, ma. Prosperity: Okay, I have to go. We’ll…
My gift to Kai is a newly styled bedroom fit for a teen. He now has his own tv, stereo, and desk. He’s shown a lot of interest in soccer, so the art on his walls reflects that. I hope he likes it! Meanwhile, I’m nearing the finish line when it comes to completing this…
Michelle: *turns away* Ew, don’t tell me. I think I already know. Alida: What? You know I had a tiny crush on him once upon a time? Michelle: Yuck – not Raul. Now my appetite is gone. Michelle turns back with a teasing smile on her face. Michelle: Why tell me after all this time?…
It’s Kai’s birthday. I bake him a monster cake since he seems to be into that type of thing. He blows out his candles and ages up to a teen. (Kai’s Aspiration: Renaissance Sim/Quick Learner Traits: Adventurous, Outgoing, and Happy Toddler) While I shower and dress for the day, Kai takes a few selfies until he finally gets one…
Kai and I arrive home to see Harvey standing outside, telling me once again that he forgot his key. Harvey: I swear it won’t happen again. Prosperity: That’s what you said last time. But, I’m glad you’re here because I have something that I need to talk to you about. Harvey: Okay. *suspicious* You’re not…
Another day, another assignment that sucks up all my time and my social life. It’s 6 in the morning, and I’m trying my best to finish up a presentation for my photography class. I know it’s time for a break when I accidentally stab my finger with a thumbtack. It’s way too early for this….
Seeing Kai’s happy face and learning that he’s doing so well in school makes me feel better, at least temporarily. I pick him up from daycare but discover that he’s developed the musty scent of his upcoming teenage years. It’s time for him to start using deodorant. Prosperity: Kai, I think you should go and…
Kai stares up at the man who shares the same eyes and hair. He doesn’t mention it to his mom anymore, but he never gave up on the idea of meeting his father. Having Uncle Merit take him to his school event was cool, but it wasn’t a replacement for his dad. Kai has a…
