Whatever you say, honey.<\/p>\n<p>I spent a few minutes teaching Bobby and Babs about music. Naturally, they each banged on the drum for a while. They didn&#8217;t have much talent but they were having fun, and I was happy to let them each play. I also taught Bobby about Weeds and Plants, and Babs about drinks. When Babs learned about Weeds and Plants, she immediately stuffed her mouth full of weeds but wouldn&#8217;t touch the plant, even when asked. Silly girl.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kezune.com\/sim\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/bandicam-2014-12-01-23-18-03-674-copy.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-2961\" src=\"http:\/\/kezune.com\/sim\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/bandicam-2014-12-01-23-18-03-674-copy.png\" alt=\"bandicam 2014-12-01 23-18-03-674 copy\" width=\"95\" height=\"126\" \/><\/a>Soon enough, I had another egg on my hands. Babs hadn&#8217;t turned an hour old yet and the other egg was still frozen. I was so pleased to see this group breeding, though. In the past, I had a much harder time getting them to breed but now? It&#8217;s a relative breeze! I haven&#8217;t even done anything particularly special with the world besides extra passageways and the addition of a fridge.<\/p>\n<p>While I tended to Opal and her pregnancy, Aidan managed to get sick. Luckily, he was in the house already but Gavin and the Grendel were with him! I just about managed to get him trapped in the computer room where he couldn&#8217;t get anyone else sick and encouraged him to eat.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kezune.com\/sim\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/bandicam-2014-12-01-23-25-15-821-copy.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2962\" src=\"http:\/\/kezune.com\/sim\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/bandicam-2014-12-01-23-25-15-821-copy.png\" alt=\"bandicam 2014-12-01 23-25-15-821 copy\" width=\"364\" height=\"118\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kezune.com\/sim\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/bandicam-2014-12-01-23-25-15-821-copy.png 364w, http:\/\/kezune.com\/sim\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/bandicam-2014-12-01-23-25-15-821-copy-300x97.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 364px) 100vw, 364px\" \/><\/a>He had other plans, but I was glad that he was at least resting away from the other creatures. I took a peek with the science kit and it turned out to be Antigen 6 attacking poor Aidan. He refused food so all I could do was watch and wait.<\/p>\n<p>I had panic attack when Opal got sick as well. Thankfully, her sickness came from eating a weed rather than a serious bacteria. Once Aidan recovered, I was free to check on the other norns again. Opal laid her egg and it was collected for later.<\/p>\n<p>Before I could even catch my breath, Lydia became pregnant again. My goodness, ladies! I need a second! It looked like Gavin would be a father again.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ssb_list_wrapper\"><li class=\"fb2\" style=\"width:135px\"><iframe src=\"\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fkezune.com%2Fsim%2F2014%2F12%2F11%2Fplaying-catch-up%2F&amp;layout=button_count&amp;action=like&amp;show_faces=false&amp;share=true&amp;width=135&amp;height=21&amp;appId=307091639398582\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden;  width:150px; height:21px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/li><li class=\"twtr\" style=\"width:90px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-url=\"http:\/\/kezune.com\/sim\/2014\/12\/11\/playing-catch-up\/\">&nbsp;<\/a><script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=\/^http:\/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+':\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');<\/script><\/li><li class=\"gplus\" style=\"width:68px\"><div class=\"g-plusone\" data-size=\"medium\" data-href=\"http:\/\/kezune.com\/sim\/2014\/12\/11\/playing-catch-up\/\"><\/div><\/li><li class=\"ssb_pin\" style=\"width:47px\"><a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\" data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/images\/pidgets\/pinit_fg_en_rect_gray_20.png\" \/><\/a><\/li><li class=\"ssb_stum\" style=\"width:75px\"><su:badge layout=\"1\" location=\"http:\/\/kezune.com\/sim\/2014\/12\/11\/playing-catch-up\/\"><\/su:badge><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n\t\t(function() {\r\n\t\t\tvar li = document.createElement('script'); li.type = 'text\/javascript'; li.async = true;\r\n\t\t\tli.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?
