Okay, I’m COMPLETELY sure that this is a repeat of dialogue from last year. That’s a real downer! I’m not saying that they can’t have any repeats of lines like these, but it seems like they should really be trying to add new ones as time goes on, you know?

Well, I guess if you didn’t see it last year, then it’s new to you, right? Good enough. That’s what the Animal Crossing team should be shooting for: “good enough.”

Years ago, I made several gallons of home-made apple cider with a juicer and multiple bags of apples from the grocery store. I then added some extra sugar and yeast and used balloons to let the ferment and make hard cider. It was delicious, but I had a hard time convincing anybody else of this. I gave a gallon to my parents, who promptly stuck it in their storage shed, where a mouse chewed through the gallon jug’s lid and then multiple mice fell in and drowned.

It was pretty great when I found that! Moral of the story: avoid cider of any kind at all costs.

Ah, yes, the old “give me food if you want to talk to me” tactic. I tried using this in real life for a while, and it was the most effective weight-loss program I’ve ever done.

Hey, fun fact: you know how Labor Day was, like, a week ago? Welp, they didn’t add any new dialogue for it this year. It’s the same as last year. You can look up what I posted back then if you feel like it (you don’t, just admit it).

And a lazy, snooty, and cranky animal talking about Mother’s Day.

I had an uncle who used to visit his parents (my grandparents on that side of the family) on holidays, which I really only knew because my family would also visit them. On those days, he would eat a big meal there, then go back home to his wife and son and eat dinner with them, too. He became very overweight from regularly eating multiple dinners a day, because apparently he was doing that on non-holidays, too. It was a little weird. So for him, most days were Two Dinners Day.

Claudia wants me to give her stuff because she knows I have a complicated and difficult relationship with my real mom and she’ll be my mom now. It was a nice offer and I’d have taken her up on it if I could have.

(In real life, I called my mom on Mother’s Day, but I didn’t get her anything. Not even a card.)

Wolfgang’s mom doesn’t need anything, because she is a zen master, and he wishes that he were also a zen master. He isn’t, though. Please keep giving him bugs, fish, and fruit every three hours.

Man, honestly, I’d say it’s like 50/50 on that, considering this thing is just floating here.

I accidentally replaced Egbert from his cotton candy stand to a wooden rooster and he looked so sad sitting in front of the stand! 😭

Around sunset, Egbert told me all about his troubles with waking up in the morning. I guess it’s relevant regardless of the time of day, but I also don’t really have any advice for him. Personally, I just started forcing myself up each day, and the only way I can keep it up is to make it a habit that I never, ever break. The only times in the last seven years that I’ve slept in have been when I was in a different time zone and had to change my schedule to accommodate the locale. I also never use a snooze button. It’s just asking for trouble.
