Chapter Four - Toddler Days & The Girls
Gilberto teaches his daughter to walk. At first she is reluctant, but he promises her lots of hugs and kisses and by the end of the day, little Anarkali manages to walk all by herself.
She's determined to learn to use the potty, the adults often find Anarkali screaming from a dirty nappy.
Pearl: Awww.
Elysium: Mmo-neey. Can you say 'mo-neey'?
Anarkali: Mummy?
Elysium: Come on, sweetie, time for bed.
Anarkali: Noo waay!
Anarkali: Whas tha?
Pearl: It's.. *in a monstrous voice* The Claaaw!
Ever closer to her elder birthday, Len manages to catch several deathfishes. He stocks the family pond and stores the others in the cabinet.
Kyoko: Oh no, my hand's turned into... a tickly spider!
Anarkali: *giggles* No tickle!
Kyoko tutors her friend, Gene. The girls have been growing closer and are now best friends.
It's Anarkali's birthday. She sure does jump high for a little toddler.
The adults win a free vacation. Pearl trusts her daughter to keep the house tidy and not to invite any
boys over.
Kyoko: I don't even know any boys, mum.
Anarkali has her first 'big girl' bath. She's very wrinkly when she finally gets out and it's up to Bonehilda to mop up the mess.
Kyoko: T-H-E-I-R not T-H-E-R-E.
Anarkali: Ooh, it's confusing.
Kyoko: Hey! So, all the oldies are out of town, wanna come over to my place?
Our little princess starts the party early.
As Kyoko mentioned before, she only knows girls. Gene is the only one who'll dance with her.
Gene: Who are all those people?
Kyoko: We're being streamed live over the internet.
Gene: I-I don't think I like this.
The other girls play Gnubb and one particular Cinderella fan has fun in the sandbox before she passes out in the living room.
The next morning...
