Marisa: Oh, hello. Whatever do you want? What? Oh, surely you kid. Do you really think I have time to update you on everything that’s happened? Goodness! Well, I suppose there’s no getting around it.
As you know, I gave birth to twins. What a handful they are. Thankfully the other set of twins had no problem helping out. I suppose they were good for something. I honestly don’t know what I was thinking when I agreed to marry Lenny. Me, Marisa Thompsin of the Granston Tompsins… now Marisa Derico, mother of twins. Not to mention the three other children from his previous marriage!
At least Sade is a decent child. She helps out, does her homework, and cleans.
Her sister, Davina, is quite the opposite. She sneaks out almost every night. Sometimes its with a guy, othertimes its that Alice Proudmoore. I’ve made note to enlighten her mother! I’m sure she’ll exact quite the punishment. My husband just laughs and says its part of being a teenager. He doesn’t care! I hope he doesn’t think I’ll allow my children to gallyvant about like that. No, they shall be raised proper!
Speaking of which, their birthday came in the blink of an eye. We were present with two lovely children. Damion took after me, though Lenny’s genes were quite prominent.
Serena, on the other hand, took almost entirely after her father. It seems I barely made a dent in that ‘Derico gene pool’. From the way they all say it you’d swear it was some sort of treasure. I hardly see the value.
On another note, that Proudmoore girl came stomping into our livingroom the other day. She gave Lenny quite the shove and nearly knocked him off his feet. She shouted, “I always knew you were a weirdo!” and then left in a huff.
When I asked him about it, he waved me off. I assume he was trying to expand his mind during the day again. I warned him about that! The telescope points right towards the Proudmoore house. Poor Anna. I’ll have to apologize to her later.
In a frenzy to get to college, Davina finds herself straining to earn a scholarship. Sade, studious as she is, managed to get hers as a child. Davina, however, was too busy having fun. Hmph. Fun! What does fun get you? Nothing!
Once again, the twins had another birthday. They were adorable children. I found it amusing they both made sure to wear green. I wonder if they will always be this close?
Much to Lenny’s dismay, the 1st set of twins went off to University to join their brother. He was frightened that ‘his girls’ (as he called them) would be swept up in the evil that is college. I told him to stop being ridiculous and focus on the children we have at home. Honestly. He can be such a silly creature at times!
In an effort to improve my children’s quality of life, I invited the headmaster of a local Private School over for dinner. It went over swimmingly and the twins were accpeted into the prestegious academy. This would definitely look great on their college applications! Not to mention that the uniforms are just darling.
(Check out that glitched handshake! Must be the secret snooty shake of doom or something.)
Damion and Serena don’t seem to miss their older siblings. Instead, they keep mostly to themselves. Lenny and I are often busy learning skills and gaining promotions. The nanny cares for the children while we do so. I often hear them gossiping about her. The things they say make me question her ability. Perhaps I will have to fire her and look for new help elsewhere.
Good help is sooo hard to find.
