A Geeky Bard's SimLit

Chapter 3: Life Lessons Right after Keoni crawled out of bed, he decided to get some ingredients from the kitchen, then go out in the hallway and express his culinary creativity.     Unfortunately for him, he was so absorbed in the artistic process of getting flour and ketchup everywhere that he didn't notice his grandmother come out of the bathroom behind him.     "Keoni, if you make messes, someone's going to have to clean them up," Leimomi told her grandson. "But I forgive you because I love you." She knelt down and reached out to give him a big hug, but for some reason, something felt 'off' to Keoni, and he tried to shy away.      Meanwhile, Malie placed a bowl of cereal down on the tray of Keoni's high chair. Then she went into the hallway, picked Keoni up, and placed him in the seat of his high chair. Leimomi went to the fridge and prepared another bowl of cereal for herself. As Keoni scooped up a wet handful of cereal and shoved it into hi...

 Chapter 2: A Grandmother's Fish Tale It was another sunny Sulani summer morning. Keoni had just woken up, and Malie picked him up and carried him out to his high chair, where a bowl of cereal was waiting for him.

Keoni could hear the sound of running water coming from the bathroom, and the sloshing of a wet mop as his grandmother tried to clean up puddles. Hokulani, who had been out in the living room area reading a book, set her book down on the coffee table next to a row ...

Chapter 1: Keoni's Home It was another fine, sunny, Sulani morning, and Keoni was awake. Malie came into the room to check on him, and when she saw that he'd crawled out of his toddler bed, she picked him up and carried him to his high chair, where a fresh bowl of breakfast cereal was waiting for him. Keoni's father, Kapena Ka'aukai, was seated at the opposite side of the family dining table, a recently emptied bowl resting on the table in front of him. Malie gently placed Keoni in the high chair. As Keoni scooped up a soggy handful of cereal and prepared to shove it into his mouth, Hokulani arrived and sat down in the chair next to him. "Good morning," Kapena greeted his sister-in-law.
