Knowe/Mander/Thyme, Day 86, Part 5

Dream date!

That's all well and good, but it's not the body point he needs to land a coaching job before he gets too old to play.

Sofie: Can we talk about the elephant in the room that's Mum's leotard? Really, Mum? You look like something out of the eighties!

Sofie: Dad, can you persuade Mum to be a bit less embarassing?

Hi: Probably not. I think she's cute-

Sofie: She's your wife - you have to think she's cute! To me, she's just embarassing!

Axel: So can the horsie move like this?

Sally: No.

Axel: Why not? I moved two one way and one a different way.

Sally: Yeah, but the one a different way can't be backwards! It's got to make a L shape - look, like this... or this... or this.

I don't think you should be telling your housemate (who you triple bolt with) dirty jokes in the bathroom, Hi...

Knowe/Mander/Thyme, Day 86, Part 4

Sally: Hi, I'm Sally.

James: I just got a new baby sister and she's a girl but she's not green like an alien even though she didn't come out of Mummy's tummy.

Sally: That's a very long name...

James: No, that's not my name! My name's James!

Gerry: In the spirit of whimsy and joyful camaraderie, I propose we engage in a playful duel, armed solely with pillows. Let us turn this tranquil space into a realm of laughter and feathered fun, suspending our cares amidst a flurry of soft blows.

Helen: You're an idiot.

Malachi: That's a dumb idea! Who'd want to go to school on Saturdays?

Sally: But it wouldn't be like proper school - we could have loads of extra-curriculars and-

Malachi: Boring!

Axel: Can I get on?

Meredith: Sure.

Axel: Whee!

Sally: My teacher had an earth pencil sharpner and she said if the pencil sharpner was the earth, the sun would be as wide as the classroom!

Sally: What's your favourite song, Axel?

Meanwhile, Helen and Gerry went out on a date and took their kids along to play in the park too.

Knowe/Mander/Thyme, Day 86, Part 2

Hey, if talking about your housemate works for foreplay then go ahead, you two!

Woohoo!

Tiago: Let it go! Let it go! ... go! ... go! No, that's not right...

Passerby: You need a B flat, kid.

Tiago: B flat? Which ones that? Why's it flat?

Sofie: Hi, I'm Sofie. I think we're in the same Science class?

Reuben: Yeah. I'm Reuben. I'll be famous soon, so you can say you knew me before I was famous!

There's some interesting dancing going on here.

Sofie thinks her mum's so embarassing!

Time to get onto that homework.

Feliz wishes they'd fill the bath less full for small dogs!

Ida Juana, Sofie and Tiago weren't tired, so whilst most people went to bed, they headed out to the Community Centre.

Knowe/Mander/Thyme, Day 86, Part 3

Teo: Hey Mum... can I have my ballet bar, please? I need to practise something for class later.

Ida Juana: Sure, baby. Just let me finish these stretches - I'll be two minutes, tops.

Hi enjoys an al fresco breakfast. He wishes he didn't have work today.

Ida Juana: Sofie!

Sofie: I'm sorry! I'll fix it!

Ida Juana went to make lunch but the fridge was empty, so Teo was sent out to buy groceries.

He bought himself a new watch, too.

Jose Iana's just a little kid, but he's a little kid who'll play catch with him, and that's what Teo's fun bar needs right now.

Knowe/Mander/Thyme, Day 86, Part 1

Ida Juana: Do you want to fold the laundry or empty the dishwasher?

Hi: That's a very unromantic thought for such a romantic moment...

Ida Juana: Life's unromantic sometimes, babe. Choose, or I will.

Hi: Can I choose neither?

Ida Juana: Nope!

Hi: Alright, dishwasher. I can never remember which clothes are yours and which are Sofie's now she's almost as tall as you.

Sofie offers makeovers to all the kids who come home from school with her and the other members of her household.

Sofie: Ooops...

Luisa: Que? What have you done?

Sofie: It's okay, I can fix it! Then I'll cut your hair-

Luisa: I'm not sure I want to trust you with my hair if that's what you do to my face!

Sofie: I'm much better at hair, I swear!

Sofie: Tada!

Luisa: Oh, I stand corrected! Wow, Sofie, it looks great.

Axel wonders which one's Sally's mum's home planet.

Family dinner! Good job Hi's wasn't hungry; there's no room for him at the table!

Artie had his own outlets, but their effectiveness seemed to wane with each passing day. Much like his attractiveness, he thought darkly.
