The Cooke family includes:
Julien Cooke, Popularity/Fortune adult. He is unemployed but owns the highly successful Cooke's Grocery.
Jan Tellerman Cooke, Romance/Pleasure adult. She is also unemployed and runs the Lonely Hearts Club.
Juliette Cooke, their baby daughter
Week 3 in our second household also begins with a birthday--Juliette becomes a toddler. So far she looks a lot like her father but with some of her mother's coloring.
The next morning, Jan discovers that she is pregnant again. She is not enthusiastic.
On Wednesday morning, Brandon forgets where we keep the potatoes and the resulting star pushes the store to Rank 5.
On Thursday afternoon, Jerome Cooke is born.
And that night, Juliette becomes a child. Jan tells her all about how in the morning she's going to get packed off to school and won't be able to bother her mother for 6 hours straight.
Back at the store, Julien attends to various customers while the Tams smooch behind the cash register.
Friday night, the store reaches Rank 6.
On Saturday, Juliette invites the Tam kids over to play. (She and River are good friends despite a several-year age difference--when you're the only two girls in the entire town, you can't afford to be picky.)
Later that day, Jerome becomes a toddler. I think he and his mother have the same serious little mouth.
On Saturday, the addition of many new features pushes Lonely Hearts Club to Rank 1.
Meanwhile, the store reaches Rank 7.
The three elderly garden club memebers (Tiffany, Matthew, and Joe) will stand around for hours talking and blocking the cash register. When Julien encourages them to buy something, they get huffy and lose stars.
I solve the problem by putting a bench in front of the store, where people can sit and shoot the breeze without getting in anybody's way. It works surprisingly well.
By the time the week is out, Julien's store reaches Rank 8.
And Jan's club reaches Rank 2 and then Rank 3.
