Cherubino wants to learn how to talk. Can't wait to hear what he has to say for himself.
His first word is 'teddy bear'.

Look who else is talking. The girls are excited about their first day of school.
Peace descends after the school bus pulls away.
Basilio has time to shoot hoops with his mom. Just like he did as a kid.

Meanwhile, Jasmyn has to muzzle the gutter press.
At a power lunch, Jasmyn beats the tabloids at their own game. She skips out on the bill.
Talking turkey earns her the two charisma points she needs for her next promotion.
Back home, Alec asks Alma on an outing.
Lol, he's not setting foot on the lot again. Last time he visited, Baz made him clean house.
Alma is able to choose guests from the household.
Casilda and Celia are home from school. She takes them on an outing to the park.
Remember Alec? He broke up the Slobs' marriage at Alma's wedding.
Something tells me this outing is cover for an assignation.
I knew it!
Well, for the sake of the outing score...
Brandi: You know this will end badly.

I know. But they look kinda cute together.
While the grown-ups get up to mischief, the girls have a water balloon fight.

We know *you* had a good time, Chris.
They arrive home to discover that Jasmyn has fulfilled her LTW. She's The Law in this town.
News like that deserves a hug.

Jasmyn's new LTW is to have six pets top their careers.
My first reaction was lol, no. Now I want to try it. Stay tuned.

Potty-training Cherubino.
Teaching Cherubino to walk... backwards?
Cherubino: Even I know that's weird.
Leisurely Saturday morning.

It's the last day of summer, so the Coronas hold a tiki party in the evening.
I spent far too much time setting up the patio.

Shaking cocktails. You're doing it wrong.
Jasmyn leads the hula in the backyard.

Too bad the guests haven't made it past the front yard.
My SimSelf is vaguely aware that something is amiss.

I want the Corona kids to meet family friends at the party. That plan backfires.

Fury and I are here to meet each other, of course.
Cherubino has better luck with Sophie Miguel. She brings out his cute side.
And Fury has recovered his graciousness by the time Celia speaks with him.
It helps that Clay is standing behind his favourite grandchild. Fury's no fool.

Lol, I was just thinking that no one is using the juicer. Cheers, SimSelf.
When night falls, Jasmyn lights up for the fire dance.
Whisper Doll: He's right behind me, isn't he?
Good grief. One drink and I'm ranting about global warming.
I'm mortified that Fury has to see me like this.
Glassy-eyed, I dump all my cash into Jasmyn's tip jar. At least I'm a generous drunk.
Realization sets in once I sobre up. My SimSelf and I both cringe at my antics.
Look who's using the limbo bar autonomously! Celia is always up for fun.

Clay and Alma lay down some beats while Baz has a go.

What's a tiki party without a flamenco dancer?
Yeah, I don't get it either.
The game does. It declares the party a good time.
The real question is, can Baz limbo that floating icon under the bar? (No.)
Coming up: The Coronas go to the dogs
Thanks for reading!
Who are these weirdos?
