What are you doing? "What does it look like? I'm practicing my model poses for the next time I run into Sofia." I....I don't think that was the problem. I distinctly remember her saying something about the fact that you were...I don't know.....a CHILD. "I am a TEENAGER. I'm essentially an adult." Yeah, and an igloo is essentially a tree house. "....and that's the story of how the little red bird found his cape and saved his grandfather from the fisherman and the whale." "Dad, that's the table of contents." "AAAAAND the crowd goes WILD!" Way to go Kelly, your practically on the same page as Air Bud. Paola considers everything in life very carefully. Even the cake is suspicious. Welcome Miss Paola Viridi to the world of teens! She's gained the 'Dance Machine' trait and has the aspiration of 'Leader of the Pack'. Somehow the wild look really suits her. I guess when you limit yourself to one word at a time, you have to express youself somehow. "It's cool." OH MY STARS. Two words. "That's what I'm talking about- come to mama." Do I need to book a room for you and that cake Kels? "Shut up, I worked hard for this." You do you Kels. You do you. "Comeonpreciouskitty.Jumpoffthefridgeforme!IpromiseI'llpetyouandloveyouandplaywithyouandgiveyouallthetreatsIcanfindexceptfirstIhavetoaskmymombecauseshesaysdadwilleatthemifweleavethemonthecounterbecuasetheboxisthesamecolorashisenergycookies-butIpromisethatifyoucomedownIwillaskmymomtogetthembutfirstyouhavetocomedown!" I....can't even with this family sometimes. Well look at you Miss Kelly Viridi, looks like all those Jane Fonda workouts and slam dunks have paid off. "I know- Motherhood is amazing, but so does looking like I'm in my twenties. I could be Scarlets twin." I think Scarlet might have a different opinion. "Whatever. Mama looks GOOD." Well how about a makeover- now that you're a mother of four and a high ranking 'innovator' (whatever that means), maybe a new look would really suit you. "Am I supposed to trust you with that? With that I'd come out looking like a Beauty School Freshmans' science project." Have a little faith. I can be nice....sometimes. "Huh. I don't hate it. You know- for a constant omnipresent voice in my head, you aren't that bad." Oh stop, you're making me blush. "So dad, do you mind if my friend Brad comes over for dinner tonight?" "Sure honey. Who's Brad?" "W-who's Brad? WHO IS BRAD? He's only the coolest kid in town. Everyone wants to be friends with Brad. You won't get anywhere on the playground if you can't impress Brad." "Okay. If you say so." "BRAD." "Soooooo Paola.....who is this kid again?" "Geez Elliot. It's BRAD. Get your shit together and sit up straight!" On the non-Brad related front, it looks like Elliot was making more progress with his dream girl than I gave him credit for. "SEE. It's the model poses. I'm telling you they WORK." There's no arguing with the results. Also- Scarlet got a text from the Pirate Creep- remember him? I don't think I need to add much to that- but I will leave this here: So all's quiet on the Viridi front- Paola's birthday is over and everyone has settled in for the night. When all of a sudden..... "You will let me use you for my vampire needs- and will remember nothing come sunrise..." Who says nothing interesting happens at night? She's gonna feel that in the morning. That's adorable. She floor flops just like her mom. Looks like Scarlet is having an emotional day in school today. This does not bode well for the inhabitants of Newcrest. But on the brightside- look who completed his aspiration! I was really begining to think he would kick it before we got a chance to finish! What is with the kids in this neighborhood? You know what- sure. Go ahead Summer- have fun playing hooky. You can't be any less rebellious than Elliot. "Soletmetellyouaboutmynewkitty!He'sthecutest,sweetest,mostamazing-" "LET'S MAKE A MESS!" "Canyoubelievehecalledmeallthewaytotheold,dustydryruinsinthemiddleofnowherejusttospillajarofglitterontheground.IhavesomanyotherbetterthingsIcouldbedoing!LikemaybeMangogotstuckontheFridgeorleftthehouseorGOTLOST!WhatwouldIdo?Whatwouldyoudo?WhatwouldANYONEdo?" "That's terrible honey, but you still skipped school.....so you're grounded."
Rebellion has a price.
