Dear Little Sims,
I know you're obligated to wear those clothes for your career, but you should know they're not suited for cold weather and immediately come inside where it's warm when you get home from work. Don't just stand out there in the yard for hours until you're close to freezing to death. Your daughter has moved out to her own home now and can't bring you something warm to wear anymore. She's stressed out already from trying to make it on her own, she doesn't need the added worry her parents could die from the weather.
Also, I hope you figure out soon that the TV has more channels than just the Kids Network. Again, your daughter isn't around to change the channel or turn the television off out of irritation from hearing those kids singing about nooboos. Pop some popcorn and watch a movie, snuggle up to a romantic show together, laugh together at a comedy show, watch an action show, the news, just something, ANYTHING else.
The television has so much more to offer. Perhaps you wouldn't start so many fires if you watched a cooking show or two now and then too. Something to think about anyway...
By the way, if you broke it, fix it, don't just stand there and whine about it. Actions speak much louder (and actually accomplish something) than words. And no, while admirable, mopping up the water is not the only suitable action in this case, it's just an exercise in futility. I love all of you, but sometimes you act so clueless my dear little Sims. *rolls eyes*
Sincerely,
Your loving Creator - The Watcher
