little Pia is so incredibly adorable, I can't even put it into words. Her actions made so much sense for a child. She's bright and clever but she sees the world in a way only seven year olds can. Sim looking out for her and her tap accidents are cute. I hope she isn't disappointed when she finds out that it takes flowers a long time to grow.

Pia's an impatient little sod, I can kind of imagining her digging up the seed in half an hour to check if it's grown. XD Thanks!

Pia is a handful throughout her life... though I'm sure it was much worse when she was little. XD Poor Sim. Thanks!

Little Pia is adorable and there's something very touching in this piece of writing, the contrast between hope and the stark environment they live in. As usual, your imagery is great and concise at the same time. Nice work!

Ahh, I don't think I've ever been called concise before! :D Yay! Thank you very much-- these two popped into my head during class today and wouldn't leave me alone.

Haha, with these two I don't think saccharine rot is ever on the menu. And I can imagine that mini!Pia could be a total pain in the arse a lot of the time but of course, big brothers are meant to think that. Thanks!

Awwwwwww! So much love for these two, seriously. I like seeing Simmins choosing to focus on hope instead of crushing the idea, even if it's not likely to grow. And it cracks me up that he calls her "Pizza" and "ginge."

I think that he'd have a lot of nicknames for her. XD Originally "ginge" was "gingerbread" but I thought it wasn't quite gruff enough, haha. Thanks!
