Told by Garrick.

“Today, boy, is the first day of the rest of your life.”

Grayson: “That’s not very profound for an old man, Dad.”

“It was the best I could think of.”

You haven’t been an old man long enough for such desired words of wisdom.

“Oh hey, Simgod. After the grad we can do it, right?”

No, you gotta age Maxwell up after.

“Aww, but I wanted to do it now.”

I said no. Besides, I kinda like you old. You’re funny.

“And sexy, right?”

Hah. That’s right.

Shar: “Tee hee, just as flirty as ever, honey.”

Me: “And you’re just as beautiful and pregnant as ever. Now get your fat ass in that car.”

Lulu: “Why does the graduate always have to carry the baby?”

Me: “Holy shit, Lulu, you’re graduating too?! When did you become a woman?”

“A few days ago. Didn’t you see me?”

“Sorry. No.”

“Looking sharp, son. Hold on, I gets a picture of ya.”

The ceremony was long and boring. It was snowing when we got out. Grayson seemed to be getting a bit of attention from a lady.

We were all chattin’ and stuff… then Jemma saw Stevan and she started being a bit weird.

And she passed out right in front of everyone, in the snow with her dress on.

Shar: “JEMMA!!!!! What in the world is wrong with you?!”

Tegan: “Hey lady, stop taking pics. And don’t go putting those up on Simbook. We’ll be all over the tabloids.”

Grayson: “You should delete that pic.”

“It’s my pic. I’ll do what I want with it.”

Apparently the rude picture-taker was the lady who is trying to have a hundred babies, Vinna Rocha, and we think she may also be an underground reporter or something. Because the next day this was up on Simmit.

Well, by George, if Stevan had something to do with my girl being unwell all the time… and then she’s out in public like this… he’s gonna get an earful from me! And maybe a fistful.

I had other family matters to tend to later.

“Hey Daddy’s new boy, it’s time to grow up. And that’s right it’s Daddy, not to be mistaken with Grampy, okay little Maxwell?”

Wow, he’s got hair like mine!

“Da–da?!!”

“So Dad, I saw some kinda potion on your nightstand…”

“My Alka Seltzer?”

“Alka Selzer is blue, Dad. Besides, you got it in an erlenmeyer flask.”

“They mixed up a cherry flavoured kind at the pharmacy for me….”

“Really, Dad.”

“How’d you know all this chemistry stuff—- hey, d’ya wanna see some pictures??”

“Those aren’t even pictures of us, Daddy.”

“Just nod and smile, okay? Appease an old man.”

…/

Okay. Drink it then.

But it will be my decision if I want to age you up again.

“I’m okay with that.”

“I don’t feel any different.”

Wait for it.

“Garrick, what’s happening?”

“I’m floating!”

“Are you aging again?”

“No, I’m de-aging!”

Cute bum.

“Well it’s taking long enough.”

Sorry I was looking at his bum.

“How do ya like me now, honey?”

“WHOA! I LOVE IT!”

“Now I’m sexy right?”

Yes, you’re sexy.

“No more Limp Dog! Look out boy, I’m coming for you.”

…/

“Ya know, I got a blue belt in Simfu.”

Also, Lulu. Since she is technically still a teen in RL, she is uploaded as that. HERE
