Phoebe enjoying the regal castle. Well, not really “enjoying,” actually. She’s up on the second floor, which is higher than she’s ever been in her life. Up til now, she’s seen staircases leading up and said “No thank you.” Hard to say what made her decide to climb up to this balcony, but it must have been pretty incredible to pull that off.
I love this so much, just because so many other villagers comment on the lighthouse. But an uchi villager? She’s just mad that she can’t sleep easily at night with that giant safety light keeping ships from smashing into the shore! She just wants TOTAL DARKNESS when she sleeps, you know?? That tent can’t block that much light!
I can tell you with complete honesty that I’ve never had warm apple cider. Doesn’t even sound all that good! I did once make some hard apple cider by buying several bags of apples, juicing them, adding yeast, and patiently waiting, though, and that turned out pretty well. I drank it at room temperature.
I only did it once, though, because dang it was a lot of work. Can’t say I recommend it! Especially if you’re a kid! There are way easier ways to get booze. Unless you’re a kid! Then you shouldn’t do it at all, even if though it really is super easy.
One fun thing about living with untreated ADHD growing up is that I would often put off large homework assignments until the last possible night and then stay up until 3 AM or even later trying to get it all finished. Once, in ninth grade, I told some other students that the 3.5-hour long period I spent one night working on something was half of forever. I thought it was obvious that I was joking with them, but they got upset and argued with me that half of forever can’t actually be 3.5 hours, so I doubled down and insisted on it. The next day, they brought me “proof” by telling me they’d asked one of the math teachers about it and HE had said that half of infinity isn’t 3.5 hours.
I learned a valuable lesson that day, but the damage to my reputation and everybody’s opinion of me was irreversible. I am still friend with exactly zero of the people I went to high school with! This was not actually a fun story.
This is pretty much how I spend my free time on vacation, too. I waste time and worry about how I’m wasting my time.
Of course, Phoebe’s vacation will last as long as I keep playing the game, but real vacations are finite, as is human life. Time spent on anything is time you can’t ever get back. Don’t spend too much time thinking about it, though.
A peppy and uchi animal talking about Mother’s Day.
I like the use of the phrase “had me” by Cheri, because it’s so much nicer than “gave birth to me.” That would be weird, right? People don’t normally use that phrase. They just say “had.” You “have” a baby. And, if the baby is great, you can feel accomplished for doing so.
Phoebe, meanwhile, has a lazy mother who makes crafts out of the shells that she is given by her daughter. Wait, though; that’s not lazy at all! It’s crafty and kind of neat! Phoebe should be more proud of her mother.
This is a lot of wood, and a lot of fire, and I don’t feel safe about this. Phoebe doesn’t seem to mind, since she was BORN IN FIRE or... something, but that’s not really something that makes ME feel any safer.
