Generation Czech, Chapter Four



Hello, and welcome to the new Around the World Legacy. Or, in Czech, Cesta Kolem Světa.
In this legacy, each generation will be named a word starting with their letter from a language starting with that letter; so a sim from generation C could be named Čína, the Czech word for China.

Last time on the Around the World Legacy, Lemon and Bihotz had triplet girls, bringing their number of children up to six. Both immediately rolled wishes for another baby, a baby boy, and ten children. I did not lock these wishes.

Let's start off with a birthday picture. All that ever seems to happen anymore is birthdays! There is a never-ending supply of cake at this house.

First the oldest, Cvičitel, becomes a really beautiful teen...

...then her little brother, Časopis, becomes a bratty child.

Cvičitel often is responsible for her little sisters, since Bihotz is working all the time.

Lemon is busking every night she can. She makes about $1000 every time she does, so it's worth it!

She returns for birthdays, though! It's time for the triplets to become toddlers. First is Čaj.

Her mouth looks a bit pinched, but she's pretty cute.

Next comes Chléb, little baby Bread.

Looks like she got her mother's hair. Blond hair and a blue dress always feels Alice In Wonderland to me.

Time for the third little triplet, Číslo.

Aww, she got the nose! It looks like all three of them got their father's dark eyes, hmm...

Yes, I color coded them so I could tell them apart. Čaj is purple, Chléb is blue, and Číslo is green. Remember this, it is very important, it is the only way I know who is who.

Anyway, the toddlers instantly start causing havoc around the house. Poor Cvičitel is just trying to play chess against the green boy, but Chléb is crying and interrupting their game! This happens all the time. As soon as one baby is happy, the next one is crying. And let's not forget, Chyba is still a toddler too.

Since the triplets are so young, it didn't seem to me like Lemon and Bihotz were old enough to become middle-aged, but they do have a teenage daughter.

The stress of six children has given Bihotz some gray streaks, which he tries (in vain) to cover with his hat.

Lemon has aged less gracefully. She finds herself in need of glasses, and her hair has gone gray! She dyes it a less shocking shade of yellow (it's a bit orange now) but her roots are showing.

And now it's time for Chyba, the mistake, to grow into a child. I told you, it's an endless string of birthdays!

Chyba is now an unlucky adventurer. She's athletic, but rather dorky with her big glasses and her strange yellow eyes.

This picture is just here to point out that Lemon finally got to go to her job. She's been on maternity leave for almost her entire existence, ever since she got pregnant with Cvičitel on her second or third day as a young adult!

With only three children who remain home from school (as opposed to the five that existed for a day after the triplets were born) the family has settled into a more comfortable routine. Bihotz finds a little time to learn extra recipes, practice cooking, and garden.

Lemon plays her guitar, learns new songs, and gets lots of money in tips.

Cvičitel plays chess, usually by herself and sometimes with the pale green kid that is a friend of her brother's.

Speaking of her brother, Časopis writes novels, which bring in a little extra cash (though not a lot).

Chyba paints because she can't yet work out, but she won't be the one charged with painting her parents' portraits.

The triplets will, though they don't know it yet. For now, they just laugh and play with their toys.

And look, before you know it, it's time for another birthday.

Časopis grows up to be adorable in a suit.

And what do you know, triplet birthdays!

I kept their colors. Čaj is purple again.

Chléb is in blue.

Little Číslo is in green.

I bought them three color coordinated easels. The girls were born with the same traits - good and artistic - and added the family trait - unlucky - when they grew into children, so I figured we could have them on the same hobby for now. Besides, I like artists, they make money and they're easy for me to manage, and it doesn't drain fun like writing.

That's all for now, see you next time!
