Aging On UpThis one's mostly a filler chapter, because there's a lot of birthdays at the moment and I didn't want to put five birthdays in one chapter.
The first thing we have to do in this chapter is age the boys up. I keep wanting to call them the twins, but they're not the only set of twins in the house anymore!
Daniel: Shut up, and get on with my birthday!
Tober: You've just taken a picture of me looking like a goldfish, haven't you?
Yes. Yes I have.
We cut to the sparkles.
Daniel as a kid. He picked out the clothes all by himself.
Daniel: Don't be patronising.
He gained the bookworm trait.
Kieran then went to the cake.
Tober: Thanks, that's a much more flattering photo of me.
Yay for cross-eyed aging up faces!
Kieran became Brave. Mostly because I random-rolled for his trait. I'm sure I took a makeover shot of him, but I can't find it, so you'll have to make do with this one.
Kieran: Please. No. This hairstyle! It can't go on the internet!
Kris: Are you sure you want to do this? You don't start school until tomorrow.
Daniel: Mummy told me about the requirements and that I need to get on the honour roll. I'm not going to let her down.
Kris: You could always just work hard in school.
Daniel: Every other kid will be working hard in school!
Kris: Fine. Okay then. The answer is... umm...
Daniel: You don't know what the answer is, do you Daddy?
Kris: Yes I do, it's...
Daniel: You don't.
Kris: Ahh! What's happening! I know the answer, honest!
Kris: Maths has made me go grey.
Beware of Maths, forum lads and lasses. It can cause horrible side effects, like old age.
Daniel: *grumbles* I'm going to have to learn all this by myself. What's the use of parents when they can't even teach you basic calculus. Even Sophie and Caitlyn would know how to integrate I bet.
Meanwhile, Kieran is normal.
Kieran: I'm building a fort!
See.
Ummm, Amelia, what's Sophie doing outside the theatre.
Amelia: We went to see a film.
She's a baby. She can't appreciate film.
Amelia: She so can. She has the 'saw a great film' moodlet.
So she does.
Amelia: But she didn't want any popcorn.
Where are you taking her now, The Grind?!
Amelia: Don't be silly. Babies don't go dancing.
Babies didn't used to go and see films.
Tober: Don't be jealous Caitlyn. Just because Sophie went to see a film with Auntie Amelia doesn't mean Mummy loves you any less!
Erik takes the opportunity to escape the madhouse and go see his daughter.
Erik: Here comes the monster!
Gabrielle: But Mummy told me Supernatural wasn't installed!
Kieran: D'you think we could nick his hat?
Daniel: Shh! I don't want to get in trouble on the first day!
Kieran: Alright, we'll nick it tomorrow then.
I think this is the creepiest paparazzi ever. She looks like a little lost old lady who's wandered into your house in her nightie to borrow some sugar.
And then she starts taking notes.
Next time: Toddler montage.
