The Peterson's: Rd 1, Raising Lola

Round 1: Raising Lola
Told by Dean

The first thing I did when we moved to Sedona was find a small starter home with plenty of room for me and my family to grow. Luckily the right house seemed to fall right into our laps. With plenty of room to expand with just enough money left in the bank account.

Luckily my mother, Lorraine sat down & started teaching Lola to talk, It really gave the two of them time to bond. While I was able to look through our new telescope for some well earned logic points.

My Father,Joseph sat down on the sofa with the paper as soon as it came. I told him I didn't want him to work, that it was my turn to take care of him. He just shook his head, and said something about kid's always trying to put him in his grave, before he was ready to go there.
Immediately he found a job as a Stand Up Comedian and started work that very day. Before I knew it he was home already with his first promotion. My mother seemed to love his new work uniform. I honestly couldn't see why.
I felt a little outdone and immediately combed the internet for a job .I found one working as a Fish Chummer, and started the work week the next morning. With the little bit of spare time I had I worked at teaching my little Lola how to walk. While my mother worked at Potty Training her.
I made quick going in my career and seemed to be racking up the promotions, first to a Dolphin Tank Cleaner, and than to a Sea Lice Research Assistant. I was very happy with the movement I was making. Even dad had managed to climb as high as his age would allow and made Mime within days. I was ready to start a great weekend celebrating my daughters birthday, and hopefully another promotion when the unthinkable happened. Due to a Chance Card I lost the start to my dream job. I didn't let that ruin Lola's birthday though. I took it as a chance to relax and go fishing to celebrate my little girls birthday, and our first outing in Sedona. The day was pretty fun, We all managed to claim a few fish and boots of our own. And just as another note, My mother introduced me to a Ms.Christy Stratton, She may not be the most beautiful person in the world but we've really seemed to hit it off. I would like to give my Lola a brother.
Extra Notes:Through out the week Lorraine managed to join Sue's Secret Kitchen, Joseph got into the secret arts and crafts lot and Lola got into the Science Secret Club.

  1. Those chance cards can be merciless! But on the bright side, he will get all those promotion bonuses all over again, and he already has all the skills. Let us just hope there is an opening in oceanography soon!
