Thayne: I love you so much.
Odessa: You taste like chocolate-covered cauliflower!
Thayne: Ummm, thanks?
Pippin: But they weren't the only adorable couple.
Olivander: So, will you miss me when I'm finally an astronaut and flying to other worlds?
Carmela: Wait, you want to be an astronaut? I thought you said you wanted to install astroturf...?
Pippin: And another adorable couple had a beautiful baby.
Pippin: Another boy.
Lilibao: What can I say? We're consistent!
Pippin: And near a toilet that consistently needs cleaning...
Seelah: I'm not as delighted when the Sim suffering is me!
Pippin: I believe that's called Karma.
Pippin: And I believe this is called Sela.
Seelah: Wait, isn't that just my name?
Pippin: No, this one is pronounced "Say-lah."
Seelah: Oh. Okay then. I think I'll steal candy from her now.
Pippin: The mother of the year award is probably not coming your way anytime soon. Meantime, this soldier is not going to get any awards for usage of technology.
Olivander: Umm, so I think I punched my fingers right
through the phone. What should I do about that? Hello? Are you there? Hmm, the phone isn't working for some reason...
Pippin: Fortunately, Thayne does know how a phone works and keeps working on getting Cora Flynn's genes into this challenge.
Thayne: Wait, what rumors about me having a child out of wedlock?
Pippin: Yep. Strangely, after returning from France and having another baby with Lilibao, almost every Sim Thayne knew went completely into the red on his relationship panel. Maybe Cora will not be an option any time soon. Anyway, two horses went after the vegetables being grown in the sunken area that the middle floor of the house opens up into and Grim came for one of them.
Pippin: Fortunately, it was not the horse Anastacia has been stalking.
Horse: You will never control me, foolish mortal.
Anastacia: We'll see about that.
Pippin: Meantime, we had another teen added to the household.
Pippin: And then Thayne decided to take his boys to China.
Olivander: So, we all realize we came here because I needed to learn martial arts to improve my job status, right?
Lyle: Yep, and I'll be your sparring partner.
Mal: And I'll get more veggies to plant and catch new types of fish.
Thayne: Wait, so why did I come then?
Thayne: Oh, nevermind. I remember now.
Lyle: OWW!! It punched me IN THE FACE!
Pippin: Martial arts master indeed! He does get better eventually.
Olivander: Cursed training dummy! I will teach you to hit my brother! See, you hit him like this.
Lyle: Hey!
Mal: Don't you play Koi with me!
Pippin: I have never been more proud of you than I am right this moment, Mal.
Mal: Thanks, weird, disembodied voice from the sky!
Random Chinese Person: Alright, come along you (starts dragging Thayne away).
Thayne: But...but she must move in with me. Shaka bra!
Chinese Gal: Okay! Let me know when you have room for me!
Pippin: And speaking of hitting on a local...
Olivander: Not funny, Pippin. Not funny.
Mal: I liked it.
Pippin: Win!
Olivander: I just did.
Pippin: Well played, sir. Well played. And eventually, it was time to say goodbye to China.
Pippin: Apparently, she's China.
And it was upon their return and in sending Thayne to research science some more that I realized he had gained that one point in social media. However, there will be two more updates so you can all enjoy the full grown versions of the current 5 kiddos and the next 5 Thayne would have fathered...well, the next 4 and Odessa's.
