Elder Doris

Today was Doris's birthday. It took me a little by surprise, so there was no cake and no brief party. She simply got up from her computer desk and began whooping and cheering. Apparently she was excited to become old.

Fortunately, Ethan's love her is beyond such considerations as age. It would be mean of him to be prejudiced against her anyway, since he's a vampire and has an unnaturally long lifespan.

Patrick has grown into a teenager. He is brave, easily-impressed, athletic, and a bookworm. He also cooks breakfast for himself since Doris works late nights and can't be fussed to get up and make him some food.

Now that Doris is a minor celebrity, rumors tend to swirl about her. The first was that she had wet herself in public. As Doris has never done this in her life, she was humiliated and angry. She headed immediately to the Doo Peas Corporate Tower to deflect the scandal on some less fortunate soul.

She told them that Morgana Wolff, wife of local millionaire Thornton Wolff, was really the one who had wet her pants in public. They didn't believe her, so Doris had to deal with a scandal-induced negative moodlet for three days, and I had to deal with her incessant whining about how unhappy she was. Drama queen.

Meanwhile, Patrick decided on the Lifetime Wish "Perfect Mind, Perfect Body" which means that he wanted to max out his athletic and logic skills. To that end, he spent hours in front of the TV and on the exercise machines.

He also screamed at - I mean, "trained" - much older Sims on the machines.

Patrick has grown into a normal-looking teenager except for his green skin and orange eyes.

Doris was the second in her little family to achieve her Lifetime Wish. She was promoted to Celebrated Five-Star Chef three days after her birthday. Congratulations, Doris!
