Been too long since I got one up but here it is!

2. Encouraging my kids to use their imaginations is easier when strangers I’ve never even
heard of or met send them those IF dolls. Usually I adore strange things like that but
I’ll admit that even these things give me the creeps. I don’t remember if I had one as a
kid or not. Mom would remember, maybe I should ask her.

3. My son Michael often talked about his IF as if she were real. Yes, apparently his IF is a
girl. He says her name is Bobo, not sure where he got that from though. He also grew up
with a tendency to steal things when no one was looking, I believe the term for that is
Kleptomaniac.

4. All of them got these IF dolls, Stephen was always calling his sister Morgan out to the
backyard to tell ghost stories. Morgan always told me that his voice made the stories
sound even scarier but she loved hearing them.

5. Stephen’s IF was always asking him to use his magic, he inherited his mother’s
witchcraft as well as my ghostly nature. He’s another hybrid who is unfortunately a bit
Grumpy. But most of the time his Absent-Minded nature and Eccentric stories
often make him forget that he’s grumpy most of the time.

6. I don’t hear Morgan talking a lot about her IF, she’s usually pretty secretive about what
they play or talk about. I don’t mind as long as she doesn’t do anything dangerous or bad
because of it. She’s very Disciplined and also a Good girl, though at times she can be a
bit of a Snob.

7. Anyway, I did manage to find enough Canopic Jars to resurrect the mummy that my dad
always wanted. His name was Vivektaa Mazzamesses II. He was an Egyptian prince who
was murdered when he was only 21. He often spoke of his realm when he ruled it and
expressed how much he missed it. Living in the modern age isn’t for everyone I suppose.

8. We bought him a house and he moved out soon after his return. He said that despite the
fact that this was not his Egypt, he still wanted to take this chance to find his place in this
new world. I just hope the Riverview residents will not be too unkind to him.

9. My little sister Elvira met her dream guy after prom. His name is Skip Broke and she
said she was going to be with him for the rest of her life. I met him once and he’s a decent
guy so I’m happy to let him have my little sister. Elvira deserves it after spending most of
her teen years helping me and Heather with the kids.

10. We all tried to be subtle about her big event, but the gate kinda makes that not possible.
Elvira moved out with Skip soon afterwards, last I heard they were expecting a baby. Good
for her.

11. They didn’t move far though, they bought the big house next to us. I’m glad Skip is a good
guy, otherwise I might have to get unpleasant with him. We are the richest family in town
so Skip won the lottery when he married into our family, he’s no longer broke.

12. When Vivektaa and Elvira moved out, there was space in the house for another. Michael
had been working long and hard on a potion to make Bobo real so Heather and I could
finally meet her. At first I was skeptical that such a thing was even possible, it didn’t
seem like there was such a thing to give an imaginary person a real living, breathing life.
But my son proved me wrong and made three flasks of it. I had to see this for myself.

13. It was certainly a sight to behold, the purple bubbles exploded out of thin air and
surrounded Michael’s friend.

14. Michael: Dad!! Are you getting this? I told you it would work! I told you!
“I am son, and I am speechless. This is amazing work.”

15. Michael: Welcome to the real world Bobo.
Bobo: I—I feel the wind, I can breathe! This is…strange.
Michael: And real, dad got photos about it.

16. Bobo Pryce everyone. She’s Artistic and Neat but also a Diva. She likes Dim Sum,
Pop music and the colour Pink.

17. Soon we were celebrating a quad birthday for the four kids, here’s when it all gets nerve-
wracking. Teenagers, I remember being one and mom laughs and says it’s about time I
got to learn what it’s like to have four teens in the house. Good thing we have lots of
space and bathrooms.

18. Morgan grew up with a flare for the Dramatic. I suspect that she and Bobo will be
singing a lot together.

19. Stephen grew up to be an Ambitious young
man, while his brother Michael became a
Great Kisser. And Bobo was determined to
prove her usefulness by becoming quite
Handy around the house. She didn’t have to
prove herself to us, I’m just happy she makes
Michael happy. I’ve also decided that Michael
should be my heir. I would love to see how
these two get along with their differences in
occult statuses.

20. In the meantime, I am looking forward to passing on the narrative duties to Michael and
Bobo. It will give me more time to work on my LTW of being a Creature-Robot Breeder
and for Heather to work her way up the Political ladder to become the Leader of the Free
World. I know Michael and Bobo will do great things together, I can’t wait to see what
happens next.
