Not The Exciting Part
It's time for another one of those chapters where not masses happens.
Iris: Alright, little bro?
Albert: I like you, you pay attention to me.
Parental attention is lacking when you're the fourth of six kids, I think.
Mary: And when you're the second.
Iris: I wonder if Chris has ever noticed me...
Albert: Let's play tig!
Iris: He's the only boy for me, I know he is...
Albert: IRIS!
Iris: Eurgh. Can't we stop? I want to go inside.
Albert: But I'm having fun. Don't you like me anymore?
Iris: Of course I do, I can see right through your guilt trip too.
Albert: MUMMY!
Gabrielle: I don't have time for this, sort out your own fights.
Yes, and we spent all of last generation calling for people's mums.
Ethel: You're the only one who understands me, Bobo. When we grow up we'll show them!
Mary: Cosmo went to the market and he bought some vegetables and the he came back and cooked dinner for his girlfriend and he and his girlfriend got married and had a baby and lived happily ever after.
The twins are... different.
As proved again here.
Ethel: You smell.
Mary: So do you.
Ethel: No I mean literally, you smell of burning.
Mary: Not my fault somebody had replaced my sherbet with Chemical X in my potions kit. I've been banned from using it so I've got to read about the theory of logic now! Not fair.
Ethel: Or you could play videogames like a normal child. Also, it totally wasn't me with the Chemical X.
Mary: I wonder who it was then?
Oh to be young and naive.
Albert: The puddle, it's still growing!
Iris: It's still broken.
Albert: Can you fix it for me? Pwease?
Iris: Can't learn handiness, sorry. *quietly* Sometimes I love DecaDynasty rules.
Albert: Izzy, wizzy, lets get busy... no, that didn't work either. Reparo! No...
And where are you going at midnight, missy?
Mary: Down the hall.
That's not the answer I was looking for.
Mary: Well, it's true. At least in part.
Albert: You're going to be in trouble! You're naughty!
Mary: And I'll be a teenager and you'll be a child. Sucks to be you.
Albert: I'm going to tell on you.
Mary: You're too late, so neh neh neh neh neh.
Iris: The sharks are attacking, save her! Save us all! Call the police, call the coastguard! Call Great-Aunt Kelsey!
Daniel: Yay! Woo! Another one nearly grown up!
Mary: Bunches.
Gabrielle: *coughs*
Daniel: Oh, yes. What do you think you're doing out of bed at this time, young lady?
One outfit change later, Mary looks a lot more like Mary.
Ethel ages up in the evening of their birthday (Mary did straight after midnight, but Ethel had the wish to get on the honour roll and so went to her last day of school).
Ethel: I wish to never be outdone by my sisters.
Failed already then. I think Mary outdid you in 'worst aging up hairstyle'. Yours isn't bad.
Ethel: I'm wearing shorts. This is not proper!
A new hairdo and a new outfit (next update!) makes her more like Ethel again.
Some toddler cuteness, to finish off a rare episode where nearly everyone features.
Daniel: Come on Peggy, you can do this.
Peggy: ...
Daniel: Just a few steps.
Peggy: ...
Josie: I can walk!
Daniel: You could be a doctor. Doctors are know it alls. Except you need really awful handwriting for being a doctor.
Josie: Want a stethoscope.
Daniel: What for? Actually, don't tell me. Just grow up already. And move out.
Next time: Driving lessons, stuff that used to belong to the Science Centre and a family trip out.
