Chapter 11- Just KiddingGreetings from the Matsuri Greenwood DecaDynasty. This update begins with Teodor being a doting grandpa and teaching little Persimmon how to use the potty.
He also taught Persimmon how to talk.
Teodor: Apparently, I am destined to become a tombstone for the dynasty. You know, so your sister could move out one day and leave us all behind...
Great, Teodor. Give your grandson nightmares. If he wakes up in the middle of the night screaming bloody murder,
you get to take care of him.
It was Mahogany to the rescue. He took Persimmon outside to learn how to walk. Much better than learning to walk in a puddle.
Poppy was getting to enjoy her childhood by playing on the newly installed playground in the backyard. She wasn't going to be able to start her supermax until her teen years, so she only had to focus on getting on the honor roll. With Palmira's tutoring, that was in the bag within a couple days.
One of the things that was installed in the backyard was a brand new sandbox. And who was the first person to try it out? Not the child, of course, but her father.
Poppy: OMG, Dad, you're so embarrassing...
Mahogany finally learned to share and invited his daughter to play in the sandbox with him.
It was a good thing because it was soon time for Poppy's teen birthday and I'm not sure if she would want to be seen playing in a sandbox with her father.
Here is teenage Poppy. She is super pretty but kind of boney. At least looking like a bean pole is appropriate for someone who is destined to supermax gardening. She also gained the
Green Thumb trait for this birthday.
Speaking of gardening, after sorting out her wardrobe, Poppy went out to tend to the garden that Teodor started for her.
Persimmon was finished with all of his skills while his big sister was just beginning on hers. Since that was the case, he got to enjoy some fun time with his little doll.
SO CUTE
Until Teodor kicked the bucket For now, Poppy and Persimmon were sharing a room. She was a great big sister to her little brother.
*Camera pans over to Teodor*
Malley: Wait, Teodor? I was kidding about kicking the bucket! You were kidding about becoming a gravestone!
I guess Teodor wasn't kidding.
Teodor: Please, Mr. Scary Grim Reaper Guy, I was just joking about becoming a gravestone with my grandson earlier. No hard feelings, right?
Well, Grim wasn't having any of Teodor's pleas. Either that or he had headphones on and couldn't hear anything that Teodor was saying. Yeah, probably the latter.
RIP, Teodor Medina, aged 94.
Back at home, things were brightened up when Persimmon had his child birthday.
Here is Persimmon as a child. Like his sister, his favorite color, which is blue, clashes against orange, which is the theme for this house. You guys can't make it easy on me, can you?
Persimmon: Then it wouldn't be called a decadynasty
challenge.
Malley:
My general rule for spares is that I am rolling traits. I rolled them for Brick, so I decided to keep up this rule for the rest of the dynasty. At least until I decide to break it for some reason. Anyhoo, Persimmon gained the
Athletic trait, which joins the
Brave and
Friendly traits that he already had.
That's all for now. Until next time
