It's early morning, and here’s Penelope diligantly doing her homework while Finn reads one of Erin’s trashy sailor romances.
I like how every time Lewis brings home his crappy grades he looks really outraged. Buddy, I don’t know what you’re expecting, you never do the homework!
Lewis: Whoops, was that too much sugar? Ah well. I’ll add more lemon to compensate…
Duncan: I gotta nip to the grocery store. Can you hold down the fort, kiddo?
Lewis: Whoops, was that too much sugar? Ah well. I’ll add more lemon to compensate…
Penelope: Noooooooo Daddy don’t drive away I need to show you my GRADES
Townie: omg! Aren’t you Duncan Huckleberry??? You play for the Bull Riders, right??
Duncan: That’s me! I don’t like to brag but I’m definitely their star player.
Vivian: Poor Duncan, can’t even go to a grocery store without being accosted by fangirls.
Duncan: What can I say? I’m a popular guy.
Vivian: You didn’t even get her number? I don’t buy it.
Duncan: Gimmie a break, Viv! I’m aging up tonight, I don’t wanna fuck up again and end up dying alone.
Vivian: Ah, that explains a lot…
Duncan: What’s that supposed to mean?
Finn isn’t doing so hot homework-wise and while him copying his older brother’s terrible example is pretty funny, he was really upset about it! And I don’t especially want the kids taken away by the social worker, so studying it is.
Finn was also pretty upset about his grades, he kept sighing over them, so I finally gave in and made him do some work too.
Lewis: Hey Pen, how does long division work again?
I’ve never actually seen a sim playing Bustin’ Out before! I got all nostalgic when I heard the music.
I wanted to change up Erin’s look, so she’s growing her hair back out a little. Looking good!
I’d definitely kind of been dreading this! Duncan ages up after bringing the shopping in. No party this time.
Lewis: Ugh, salad?
Duncan: Suck it up, kiddo. Your old man is gonna try and stay trim & fit as long as possible!
Finn: I’m tired! I hate this, can I just go to bed?
Duncan: Isn’t that due tomorrow?
Finn: Yeah, but I can do it in the morning!
Duncan: Fine, I’m not gonna force you. Erin can go throguh it with you, she’s better at this stuff than me anyway.
Duncan: Oh, shit, I should probably return this to Alon, huh…
Updated the master bedroom to have some of Erin’s nicer stuff. I ought to get them a new bed too lol, they could easily afford it!
Lewis: What the fuck is a semi-colon? Fuck this, might just drop out…
Finn: This suuuuuuuuucks.
Erin: Believe me, I’m not wild about it either. But if you bring home an F you’ll get taken by the social worker.
Finn: Will I have to live with my other Mom in that tiny trailer????
Erin: I don’t know. Maybe?
Finn: *sigh* I’ll finish the homework.
Erin: There, that wasn’t so hard, was it?
Finn: We didn’t finish it all, though :(
Erin: It should be enough for now. And now that you know how to solve them, you won’t need my help next time!
Duncan: Mornin’ babe. Did Finn get finished up okay?
Erin: He should be fine, yes. You’re up early.
Duncan: Yeah, turns out when you’re old you suddenley have a ton of energy in the morning.
Erin: Hmmm, enough energy to fool around a little?
Duncan: Babe I can always find the energy for that.
Erin: It says here that sexual satisfaction actually improves with age, according to studies.
Duncan: Ha, I don’t need a damn newspaper to tell me that.
Erin: I’m going to go check the mail. Can you handle breakfast?
Duncan: I’m on it, babe.
Erin: Very funny.
Duncan: I, uh, forgot to get milk.
Erin: I’m already reconsidering this remarriage.
Duncan: Don’t say that, babe!
He’s still working, hilariously, although it’d probably make sense for him to retire pretty soon since he’s not become a coach or anything. Maybe a last few television appearances?
Lewis: Man, I dunno why I bother
I love that Lewis does the bathtub pirate thing - it’s so cute?
Finn: Welcome home, Dad!
Erin: No hug for your poor step-mother, whose smart investing has increased our family funds by $2519? I see how it is. I’ll just go tend to my tomatoes, then.
Finn: Love you too, Mom!
