When I don’t know what else to draw, I draw Sims. Here are the Brokes on an outing… somewhere.

“Shoo, shoo! Get away, you stupid cat!”

“…?”

“I said shoo!”

“Did someone say free snuggles and food? Oh boy! Just wait until Great Lord Potato finds out about this!”

Dustin welcomes Elizabeth to the world with bath time~

Don’t worry, Angela, this should be the last one, I promise!

It’s a girl! Her name is Elizabeth c:

Dustin excitedly expresses his anticipation for the new babbu before Angela heads upstairs for a nap.

Ok so Dustin just waltzed in and started watching TV

Mayhew’s not getting a raise any time soon

“Angie, I think we need a break from all this Renee stuff. It’s too much stress on you.”

“I really wish I could, but taking my mind off it won’t make anything better, would it?”

“Why not? We were teenagers once, too. Maybe she’ll grow out of it, like you grew out of your beef with your sister and I stopped helping the local burglars.”

“Dustin, we can’t just compare our child’s struggles to your past life of crime! I don’t think this is some kind of phase. This could be serious!”

“I’m not saying that, I’m just… I just want things to become alright.”

“I think, maybe, we ought to just take it one step at a time.”

“Yeah, one step at a time sounds good.”

“Sweetie?”

“Yeah?”

“I think I found our distraction.”

“Honey, I’m worried about Renee. Her first year of high school has just been a complete disaster: She never looks happy, she doesn’t care at all about her appearance, I have to fight tooth and nail just to get her to wash her hair! Kids make fun of her, honey. They’re merciless at this age.”

“I think, maybe, we should pull her out of public school and maybe send her to a Jacoban Girls Academy like my mother went to. They have programs for troubled girls and I really feel like it could help her.”

“Angie, Renee is fine. She doesn’t need some uptight, snobby Jacoban indoctrination prison to succeed.”

“Then what about therapy?”

“That’s an even worse idea! They’ll put her on drugs or send her away! There is nothing wrong with our daughter!”

“We both heard her crying last night, honey. We need to do something!”

“You know what? I’d rather not discuss this further.”

“Ugh! Dustin!”

“Can you believe it, Renee? In less than a week you’ll be a teenager, just like your cousins Louis and Isabelle. I’m so excited for you! Becoming a woman is a big deal! Aren’t you excited, dear?”

“Heh, yeah I guess. You said my interests will change too, right? I want to understand all the things that’ll help me fit in.”

“I can’t wait to be a teenager! Renee, tell me all about it!”

The Audition – Angela, Dustin, & Renee

“Hey kiddo!” Dustin was quick to greet his wife and daughter at the door. “How’d the audition go?”

“It was kinda boring, but the director was nice! He let me play Voidcritters while the other kids were reading the scripts, even though mom said he wouldn’t!” Renee was more excited about playing Voidcritters than the audition itself, but as long as she was content, her parents didn’t mind.

“Well, I am so proud of you! And you didn’t even get your dress dirty!”

“Yeah! ‘Cause mom said if I didn’t get my dress dirty at the audition, we can go to Sim Burger when we find out the results, whether I got the part or not!”

“I see…”
