Chapter 45: Telling Jokes

Later that afternoon, once all the mess was cleaned up after Kayleigh and Erik's wedding, mum and I went to the park to met Juliana there.


Mum adores Juliana.


She's such a sweet kid.


I told my 99th joke.


Then we headed home to find one of dad's bar tricks had backfired.


Kalani and Uncle Jon had found that pretty funny.


And then, I began to tell my 100th joke.


It was a rather terrifying tale...


...with an hilarious ending. Right? Right guys? Huh?
"Hehe, yeah" Kalani chuckled nervously.


Kennedy came home with a promotion.


So did mum.


And I chilled a bit playing Blic Bloc.


Dad slowly got to master mixology while he chatted to mum, who was only half listening as she was totally engrossed in her latest favourite authors new release.


Cara was making a new friend.


So far so good


Umm, yeah, maybe not quite such a good move.


Oh goodness, much more of this and I'll need to go downstairs and stop the girl. Cara is such a meanie sometimes, it gets embarrassing.




Maniacal laughter? Right, I stopped the gaming rig and started downstairs. Whatever's going on can't be good.


Only by the time I had made it downstairs Cara had disappeared. I asked Dad if he'd seen her but he was away in his own wee world painting in blissful ignorance to the chaos Cara was creating.


I checked in on mum who had been chatting to Kayleigh. neither of them had seen Cara. They were just about to do a workout so I said that I'd keep looking so they could carry on.


I went back outside but Kennedy said that she'd been out here showing Mitchell the constellations now for some time and that Cara hadn't been with them. Mitchell looked a bit under the weather so I asked him if he was ok. He replied that he had a bad case of pins and needles but he was ok.


Sighing I headed back inside. Maybe Cara had just gone to bed and I was imagining things. One last check in the gym. Nope, just mum and dad chatting.


Oh well, I guess it was my imagination. You can't blame me though because Cara really is a trickster. I should know. I've been on the blunt end of quite a few of her 'jokes'. I headed off to bed, work tomorrow and I still had a few routines to write up early tomorrow before my gig that night.

Chapter 46: Black'n'White

Well, the morning didn't start so well for me. Embarrassing...


I headed downstairs for breakfast to find mum and dad discussing the menu for our Black and White party later that day. Umm.. perhaps a Black and White cake guys?


Kennedy was telling Mitchell an unbelievable story. Unbelievable!


Poor guy seems to be here 24/7. It has something to do with Cara's voodoo doll but I can't get any straight answers from her. She's forever trolling teh forums or sending chain letters. I swear I'm going to password lock her out of all the computers.


Anyway, time to get the party started. Yeah!


So it seems it's only the Foxes that have a problem with dressing to colour code! No worries, we all still had plenty of black'n'white conversation starters.


So, you know, the people who wanted to dance, danced.


The lushes who wanted to drink, drank. (Funny how that always seems to be mum.)


And those who wanted to eat, ate. They always say the coolest people hang in the kitchen. Personally I believe it's the dance floor.


Connor helped Eric and I take a selfie by allowing us to prop up my camera on his armpit for stability. Niiiice.


After a few Zebra's Fizzes the dancing got a bit wild and weird.


Woah! Personal space ladies, I'm a taken man.


Party over and out. It was really fun. I had a quick tidy up before heading out to work. Uncle Jon and Kennedy chatted to the last few guests.


As I left for work I saw mum and dad sneaking into the conservatory.


Oh man! No comment!


Work went quite well. Uncle Jon came with me for some moral support.


It's really cold out today. I actually saw a gangster pull his pants up! Shoot me, I'm way too funny.


So I shot my first turkey today. Scared The Watcher out of everyone in the frozen food section....


We arrived home just in time for breakfast.


I went to check where Cara was but Kennedy has not let her out of her sights since she woke up. Good job Kennedy. I might have to marry that girl.

Playalot, I love the way you let your comedian narrate the story; he had me laughing out loud.  I wasn't brave enough to try that with my comedian.

I love that photo of Kennedy and Mitchelll.. but after going back and looking again - what a fantastic painting of the shark coming out of the water getting ready to pounce!! Which emotive painting was that?? I love this new heir and I get why you switched.. I would do it too.. I tend to get too invested as well!  ;D

@ Ginj, lol thanks, I have an unfortunate collection of one-liner jokes that my family groan at so it was only natural that some would end up here some way or rather!  ;D

@ KTK10, That picture was painted by Joe and is one of the angry paintings. Most on that wall are, I just don't have the emotion enabled on any of them. I had Joe paint them all incase I needed them for...  :-X well, that would be telling  ;)

 I guess the thing about having the next heir chosen by completed aspirations is that it can change in a moment. All it takes is one of the kids to get a roll of good luck, finish an aspiration and then, boom! They have completed another one instantly as the Mansion Baron aspiration only needs to be chosen for it to be completed due to the house having everything required. So although Kaiden looks like the heir at the moment, it could change in a heart beat!

Is the black and white party theme a thing in S4 or did you change their outfits?

It's a type of party you can throw. It has it's own set of goals to reach a gold medal etc. Part of the requirements are to talk about black and white things 10 times. eg lack of newspapers, discuss zebras... etc. It's a lot of fun to play.  :)

Chapter 47: Getting Older

That morning Kaiden came home pretty buzzed. It was nice to hear that his career is really starting to take off. Kalani was doing well too. It was nice to sit together over breakfast again.


Later on Eric popped in. He's frequent visitor now that he's a part of the family.


Kalani and Kaiden still are the best of friends. I wonder what they get up to at times as Kaiden's stories are pretty colourful. It's probably better that I don't know, besides I trust the boys implicitly.


I think Kennedy's good for Kaidan. She's actually very quiet and calm. The opposite of Kaiden really.


It's like they say, opposites attract.


I spent a bit of time writing Nia a poem as my special birthday present to her, she had asked that there be no fuss and drama made on her birthday but I still wanted to make her feel special.


We managed to sneak away together, to be alone.




And then it was time to get our party faces on. Poor Nia really didn't want a party but Kaiden insisted. We made sure it was just the family.


Nia was really upset about becoming an elder. She was holding back the tears so tightly that I thought she might not be able to blow out her candles.


but she held it together and took a shakey breath and


became an elder.


Oh my back..
"Granny are you ok?" giggled Juliana, "your back sounded funny!"


As we sat down for cake together Nia looked a bit stunned.


I held her close


and told her she'd always be my beautiful Nia, as beautiful to me as the day I first saw her.

Chapter 48: Boys Night out

I was meeting Uncle Jon over at the French Quarter after work.


He was on a roll to see how many fish he could catch before dawn.


I chatted to a few friends before settling in for a nights fishing.


Uncle Jon said he wanted to pick up a few extra frogs for bait and that he'd be right back.


Aw, typical, I hooked a big one just as he went out of sight.


Not what I was hoping for but hey, that's all part of it. Strange looking apple though.


I could hear the sound of Uncle Jon's chisel in the distance and I knew then that he'd got distracted.




Eventually I couldn't hear him at all. It didn't bother me, I was pretty used to his ways and nine times out of ten Uncle Jon would be distracted by something shiny, or by finding out 'what was around the next corner'.


It used to freak Kalani and I out as kids a bit, but we knew that Uncle Jon would always come back to us with some incredible tale.


Turns out Uncle Jon had decided to jump onto the ferry...


... and go check out


the Shopping District.


If I'd known that I'd have gone with him. I've always been quite curious...


about what was over there.


Uncle Jon said that he'd walked the length of the water front...




right to the far end, where he'd sat down for a bit...


as he looked back out over to our side of the river...


while he waited for the steamboat to hitch a lift back.


We spent the last few hours just chatting as we caste our lines out.


But I caught the last fish. That made the score 7/5 to me.


One last caste for luck just as the sun rose...


and the moon set...


then it was time to record the trip and head for home.

I've never even thought of exploring that side of the lake! Looks really gorgeous. Nia still looks amazing as an elder and I just love, love, love this family!   ;D

@ Brooke, Yeah, transitioning from adult to elder in a heartbeat must totally suck.

@ KTK10, there are a lot of areas that using tab let's you look at. I quite like looking around while my sims are fishing or doing something that doesn't require much intervention.  :)
