"Da-da-da-da-da! Today is my birthday! Da-da-da-da! I'm gonna be big, y'all!"

"You are the best kitty, Footsie! You're gonna be my kitty when Tommy goes to college, aren't you?" "Mew?"

Busted to sub again?! If they think she does such a bad job, why don't they fire her, get it over with?

"Mew! I know I hissed at you yesterday but I'm nice today and my bowl's empty!"

"I don't know why you keep hanging out at the school, Ida Juana, but I appreciate your support." "Sure thing! Slurp, slurp!"

Ottomas Prime, Day 86, Part 7

Baby room. I guess in real life you'd have more toys, but they can't play with them, so...

Bathroom. I was going to put another one on a higher floor, but I ran out of space.

Cafeteria. I guess you'll have to get toddler mush out of the fridge in the baby room.

Toddler room.

Nap space in the toddler room.

Entrance area. That's the cafeteria through the arch to the left with the toddler room beyond it, and the baby room through the door to the right. All the ground floor rooms have direct outside access.

The first two rooms upstairs are the kid play spaces.

"Practical" education space. I wish kids could use the crafting benches.

There are two small tutoring rooms on the top floor, with windows into the hallway for safeguarding purposes.

And finally, the Library!

Nope, all the jobs in town suck. Sharla’ll figure something else out.

“Morning, y’all. Here’s the Sunday funnies.” “Thanks, dear.”

“And I put some rubbers in the drawer.” “Very thoughtful of you.”

Being home again doesn’t sit easy on Sharla. Probably because it’s not home anymore. Dorothy’s snubbing her, but Anthea’s being a good sport about losing her own room.

“So many more years of embarrassing our kids ahead of us! Life is great!”

When Olivia and Viola are awake in the wee hours sometimes, they slip out together. It's still cold, but they can move to keep warm/ and signs of spring are everywhere.

Georgia's been acting odd lately - and Tommy's taken against her - but Viola's happy to run into her at the music club after school.

Neither of them ever wins the dance contest, but their day is coming! Just wait!

[widespot]

"We should take you to the beauty store." "I don't want to." "Oh, c'mon! You'd be so cute if you'd do something to your hair, maybe a little lip gloss." "I don't want to be cute. Once a girl get's cute she has to do it all the time."

"This is great, Mom! But can we afford it?" "You let your dad and me worry about that."

"How can you do that so neatly?" "Practice."

"Georgia! Did you see the raccoon?" "Um, yeah, I chased it off." "A little too late, but that's not your fault."

Yeah, I'm sure that covers up all the smell from your slapdancing, Ivan.

[widespot]

"Oh, Peter…are you sure you wanted to go out to eat?" "I wanted to get you away from all those kids, mostly."

"Oh, sir, I'm so sorry!" "Not your fault, honey, they should have a server to help you."

"Could've been worse. Could've been egg."

"Oh, Peter, I love you so much and I'm so glad we're married!" "Back at you, honey."

[widespot]

Tommy is gearing up for his move to campus. His friend Ivan is already there and already making friends on campus.

"What do you say, old lady? Shall we leave the young'uns on their own for supper and take ourselves out on the town?" "The streets are awfully icy to drive into Bigg City just to eat." "Even the Dining Dash is eating out."

Rosalind feels very important and conscientious, taking her first turn at meal rotation.

"I know your sister Tilda! She's really cool!" "I guess she does seem that way, if you're still in elementary."

"So I looked around and there were all these weird big-eyed people -" "Ooh! Were you scared!" "Mostly I was interested."

If Viola sees you doing that, Tommy's going to explain why you and he are fighting, Jesse. And I don't think you want that!

[widespot]

"You sure this is a good place for this?" "Nobody's looking, and it's too cold for the Makeout Spot."

"Okay. You know best." "You're darn tootin'."

"Oh wow - oh wow - oop, your sister's in the kitchen." "She don't care. Viola, do you care?" "It's not my business but I'm not covering for you!"

"How about you, Footsie? Would you cover for us?" "Mew?"

Soup is the hot topic today, apparently.

"I'll brag so hard about knowing you when you're a movie star!" "As you should."

[widespot]

"It's a soup day at home, but it's nicer eating here with you."

"It's a good day for soup, though, don't you think?"

"We should go ahead and get your first kiss taken care of. If you don't mind being kissed by somebody who isn't sexy at all." "I'm going to regret saying that for a long time, aren't I?" "I'll see to it."

(It is of course not her first kiss, so no video. And the only way Topher'd ever initiate his own first kiss would be if Tilda dared him.)

"Oh, hi, Tilda. Here with a date?" Olivia knows all about Topher's rivalry with his sister, and puts her on notice that he just took a giant step ahead of her in the growing-up race.

"So, what would you like to do next?" "You said you'd teach me to make out?"

"What is Wally's girlfriend doing with that, that infant?"

[widespot]

Viola says Dad saw Wallys out with somebody else and you know what? Even if that's gossip, he doesn't own Olivia! And she's known Topher forever. In this weather, and with Topher's whole - everything - the only good place to go with him is the library, but you've got to start somewhere. "Isn't it too cold for this bird?" "Sparrows aren't migratory."

"So that's why they don't sit together anymore." "Really? That's messed up."

"You're very mature for your age, aren't you?" "I am? I don't feel like that much." "You don't have much self-knowledge, that's all."

"Do you think I'm sexy at all?" "Um - no, not really?"

Oh. Well. That was unexpected.

[widespot]

Ottomas Prime

"All right, all right, I'll tell you, and trust your judgement about whether Olivia should know…"

"Oh, Gabriella, it's so good to be here with you at last!"

Everybody else is complaining about the cold spring, but not Flavia! She has a snowman to make!

Ugh, how did so much homework accumulate?

Peter has to work; but Samantha is more than willing to help Flavia with her snowman project.

"Born to be wi-i-ild!" "Will y'all shut up while I'm trying to conjugate?" "Nope!"

Mom and Flavia are going to need some nice hot soup when they come in.

[widespot]

"Someday, I'll be a star of stage and screen and other people will do algebra for me!"

"But what did you do with all that money?" "Spent it, boy! That's what money's for!"

"Still the prettiest teacher at school." "Now, dear, how long has it been since you went to school?" "Don't have to go to know you beat 'em all."

"Come on, Flavia, homework won't do itself. I'll walk you through it and you'll see it's not so bad."

Why do parents have to be embarrassing right in front of Viola's basketball practice?

[widespot]

Olivia brings Jane Schmidt home with her. "It's a lot harder to get dates in Bigg City than you think."

"Why are you bringing that lady home with us, Mommy? She's not a teacher!" "No, but she just turned up and she's so friendly." (Nope, no idea why Ida Juana's coming home from work with her, but it's Ida Juana so we'll roll with it.)

"I don't like school, Mommy!" "Oh, honey, give it a chance! I know it's hard at first, but think of all the stuff you'll learn and people you'll meet!"

"What do they think they're doing?!"

"Hey, they're doing the best they can." "C'mon, Hart, you know if you were up against a defensive line like that you'd use their guts for fiddle strings." "I can't play the fiddle!"

"Who wants grilled cheese?" "Does anybody ever not want grilled cheese?"

"Whoa, kitty, sorry, didn't mean to invade your space."

"Footsie! You know better'n that! Don't you go scratching at people unless they scratch you first!"

[widespot]

Ottomas Prime

"No more maternity leave…not sure how I feel about that…"

Nothing starts the day like a private dance party!

"That Wallys! I know it was him! What Olivia sees in that boy I can't imagine!"

"Hi, Hart!" "Hi, Ottomas. How's the knee?" "Oh, now, don't rub it in." "I'm not. I brought you some linimint."

It bugs Peter that Hart still won't let him write a bio, but it really is something that a big star like him is willing to come hang out with him and compare aches and pains. Not that he's anything like as old, or as beat up, as Hart is!

[widespot]

"Tommy, move. I need to use the phone." "Should've got a cell, then." "Tommy. Move. Before I kick your butt." "Yeah, yeah, I'm moving. Wouldn't want you to hurt yourself."

Flavia and Rosalind are both of the opinion that Footsie should know more tricks by now. Like, any!

"I still think you should've let us throw a party."

"And invite who? Sharla was just here. Anyway, I was too tired. This is fine."

She really didn't give me a choice. Rosalind is a retiring nerd girl. That's all there is to it.

"Eh, it'll do. I mean, who really cares what I look like?"

"So what do you want to do for spring break, Flavia?" "Play in the snow!"
