Like It or Not; Age Catches Up

As much as Haruo would have preferred to stay a Young Adult forever, age has a habit of catching up to us all. He had his birthday and turned into a somewhat more mature version of himself. And if you believe that, I have some swampland in Louisiana to sell you...complete with American alligators. Maybe he was more mature, physically...and facial features-wise, but inside that skull of his was the mind of a teen-ager. "Hey...Phil...hold mah beer!!! Watch this..." And to think this Sim was a father of two boys and two girls. Heaven help us all.
Haruo stared at his cake for a long while wondering just how fast life went...the fact that the young adult portion of his life was now over and the latter half of his existence lay before him.
It was soon time to make a wish and hope that he would have a long life together with the woman he loved more than life itself.
Everybody partook of the cake and as well as an Baked Angel Food cake that Haruo cooked so that everyone at least would have a piece. Birthday cakes...were restricted to 8 servings. Why; this Watcher has no idea.
At least it was cake...cake agreed with Haruo's stomach and not those McDonald's Shamrock shakes (aye and begorrah, they're magically delicious)...which were exceedingly tantalizing but ended up gastronomically terrorizing his stomach and ending up with him excreting leprechaun poo. (couldn't resist). (Watcher aside: By the way, if you live near a McDonald's, they have Shamrock Shakes on right now until March 17th... ~this is not a paid advertisement for McDonald's Corp.)
But the best present that he could have gotten was a passionate kiss from his beloved wife.
That prompted Masatoshi to plant a nice kiss on Caitlin's lips too.
Teenage hormones also influence the evil trait...and Sandi was no exception in that, in which she tried to scare Toshiyuki but failed as he turned around just before she did, and so she tried to backpedal with some convoluted story that made absolutely no sense. That was the insanity trait. If Phil wasn't a decade and a half older than Sandi and roughly the same age as Haruo, I'd match him up with Sandy - he's insane too. Toshiyuki wasn't buying the fish-story.
Fiona McIrish-Chikamori had a pre-election rally to help her cause for becoming Prime Minister (Leader of the Free World). After all, Canada needed a strong leader and current GQ model PM wasn't cutting the mustard. Fiona was running on a platform of "strong military; strong economy; and strong social welfare and health care. After all, she wouldn't dismantle benefits that were created by W.A.C. Bennett who had advocated for universal medical, dental, hospital, and pharmaceutical insurance coverage in the 1950s, (1955 to be exact) for the benefit of all Canadians and if Fiona even tried to touch universal healthcare, there would be a hue and a cry for Fiona's blood, so she ran on the Federal Progressive Conservative Campaign with the slogan "Canada is stronger with McIrish. Vote Fiona...for Prime Minister of Canada" Haruo wished his mother-in-law the very best, as far as her bid for parliamentary leadership.
It was a late affair...as far as rallies go and Fiona came home well-pleased with the outcome of the rally and the amount of support that it garnered.
Everybody else, by this time had gone to bed.
...and night fell over Riverview.
