The document provides an overview of events in the Mirror family of the OWBC (Our World Birth Challenge). It summarizes the twins Ben and Beatrice growing up and having adventures like log rolling competitions. The family grows to include three more children - Olivia, Opal, and Octopus. The summary highlights some of the chaotic and inappropriate antics of the large sim family both at home and during a vacation to Three Lakes, where they encounter tourists being stalked by penguins. It concludes by growing the twins into teens and announcing a poll to choose the next heir for the OWBC story.

1. Reality Bites: An OWBC
Chapter Two: Family Things

2. “Hello, and welcome back to Reality Bites:An OWBC! I'm your host,
Ginger Newson!”
“Last time, we met the founder, Elijah, watched him find love, and
have two children – twins, Ben and Beatrice. If it sounds unfamiliar,
you might want to catch up. Just a thought.
Now, onwards!”

3. “She's good, isn't she?” Charlie beamed at her co-producer. Matthew
sighed.
“She needs a co-host. Every show has a co-host!”
“Not every show,” Charlie replied truthfully, “I think she does fine on
her own.”
“We're not discussing this now. Look, the show's starting.”

4. We return to the Mirror family, just in time to catch a twin crying.
A familiar sight for the family. It's chaos taking care of the twins, I sat
there wondering why I had cheesecaked them.

5. But when they are both quiet and amused, they are adorable and
completely worth the cheesecake and hassle.
I also like the fact they grew up in matching pyjamas.

6. Ben is a little troublemaker. If he's not messing with cat food, he's
playing in the toilet, or dancing to the stereo in the lounge.
He's going to be fun when he grows up.

7. Edith began showing signs of another pregnancy. A pregnancy that will
give us a bad apple. :)

8. And soon, it's time to throw the toddlers into childhood.
Elijah was too busy working in order to help.

9. And here they are, smustling it up. Ben looks a lot like Elijah, except
for his nose, while Beatrice looks quite a lot like Edith.
I love them both! They're very twin-ly.

10. The twins spend all of their time dancing. Such is the way of OWBC
life.

11. I know the pregnancy flew by, but I lost quite a few pictures for
reasons I will explain later.
“My wife is still hot when she gives birth!”

12. And with that line of encouragement, Edith brought the family's bad
apple, Olivia, into the world.

13. “Hooray! It snowed!”
They may live in the desert, but I still have the seasons set for winter.

14. And so snow day pursuits begin.
“Have you SEEN how many flamingos there are in our yard?”
Yes, yes I have, Ben.
“It's beautiful!”
It is indeed.

15. Soon, Olivia was thrown into toddlerhood.
She looks almost completely like Edith. And doesn't have the elf ears.

16. Olivia is adorable.
She basically continued the traditions the twins set – spending her
toddler years dancing.

17. She did spend some time crying though.
Probably because Elijah and Edith spent a lot of time getting
distracted by each other, rather than teaching her to talk and walk and
stuff.
I guess aspiration failure makes for a more interesting bad apple,
right?

18. Edith started showing her final pregnancy too.
I checked using the pregnancy scanner, and she's expecting twins. My
punishment for cheesecaking Ben and Bea, right?

19. Heehee, the twins even sleep in sync.
I love the twins.

20. Goopy drops by to distract Olivia while Edith and Elijah prove they
have no self control at all.
Talk about scarred for life.

21. I think this sums up the Mirror family. Lines of flamingos, and a mean
snowman.
Now, I was curious as to who built the mean snowman, and there was
only one way to figure out who was to blame...

22. A snowman building competition! Held at night!
Edith was too pregnant to join in, and Olivia does whatever she likes,
whenever she likes, so she didn't join in.

23. Ben won, finishing his perfectly nice snowman first, with a view of the
flamingo army in the background.

24. Bea finished second with a snowman to match Ben's – which doesn't
surprise me in the slightest. They are very twin-ly twins.

25. “Well, I was beaten. I see no point in finishing it now.”
Elijah! You can't leave a faceless snowman outside with the perfect
snowmen your children built!

26. “Fine.”
So it was Elijah who built the mean snowman before. Elijah also
finishes in last place.

27. Of course, with the snowmen built, it was an open invitation for the
penguin to drop by.

28. Although, I find it hard to believe this penguin is cute most of the time.
This face scares me. :/

29. Olivia grows up, with no one watching.
They were too busy woohooing, or smustling, or being confused by
their snowmen not melting with all the other snow. Glitches, hey?

30. Olivia looks a lot like Bea, in my opinion.

31. Later on, Edith goes into labour in the middle of the street.
This doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

32. Elijah didn't inappropriately hold thoughts about having a hot wife this
time, as Edith brought the twins into the world.
This brings the kid count up to five. -headdesk-

33. I'll introduce the twins in a moment, but it's time to pause and pay
attention to Olivia.
I keep catching her doing the “-sigh- I am such a nice sim” thing.
Hooray for figuring out a bit of the bad apple's personality!

34. Apparently, I don't have any pictures of the twins as babies. That
makes me a bad simmer.
But, I do have adorable pictures of toddlers! This is Opal!
There was a sim in my last OWBC named Opal. I had to recycle 'O'
names. This Opal seems fairly different. She looks a lot like Elijah.

35. And this is Octopus.
I ran out of 'O' names. I did have one planned, and forgot it in time for
Octopus's birth. Predictably, I remembered the name when it was too
late.
I think he is the only shy child.

36. I swear we are not trying to bury Octopus.
Edith is just looking for the map to the Hidden Burrow at Three Lakes,
because that's where the family holiday is going to be once the
toddlers have grown into kids.

37. It's time for a quadruple birthday! I've never had a quad birthday
before.
The older twins are growing into teens, while the younger twins are
growing into children.

39. Ben rolled knowledge and I think Bea rolled romance.
“Bea, the twins have the right idea.”
“What do you mean?”
“I think we should smustle...”

40. Twin Smustle Party!

41. There's only one family member missing from this picture. Even the
cat made it into the living room. And where is Olivia?

42. Olivia was too busy splashing in the downstairs bathroom.
The drew rule means I hardly ever remember to fix anything.

43. Good to see they cleaned up the cakes before heading off to Three
Lakes. Or not. I think those cakes have been there for three days,
which is really bad.
But oh well! Three Lakes!

44. Let the family fun begin!

45. “Haha,” Ben laughed, “you fell in and we haven't even played one
round yet!”
“You talk tough for someone who is going to fall in head first!” Bea
chuckled, “I challenge you to a log rolling competition.”
“In order to defend my honour, I accept your challenge!”

46. A family holiday just isn't a holiday until a brother and sister declare
war on a rotating log over a pond.
“Come on, come on, come on,” Bea chanted under her breath, “Fall
in!”
Ben worriedly moved his feet, terrified he was losing his footing. He
stumbled, and fell into the water, face first.

47. “VICTORY IS MINE!”
A well-deserved victory. Bea is clearly not above beating her brother in
order to defend her honour.

48. Opal, meanwhile, amused herself by reading the initials on the
wooden tree log.
“Look, Octo! This D.L person has loads of friends! I want loads of
friends!”
“Mummy says she doesn't want us to have lots of friends,” Octopus
answered, truthfully, “we'd have to be normal when they came over for
dinner.”

49. OWBC families, hey? They act so inappropriately abroad.

50. Meanwhile, Olivia talks to strangers, and...

51. ...jumping in flowerbeds. Total nightmare.

52. “Well apparently the taxi won't arrive for another hour or so,” Elijah
announced, entering the strange house, “I won't try my hand at map
reading again. What did I miss?”
“How would you feel if I said Ben and Bea were slapdancing with a
strange hairy man? And that the strange hairy man has invited himself
to live with us? That his name is Garrett?”
Elijah's eyes widened, but before he could speak, Edith interrupted,
“Excuse me one second,”

53. “Octopus! Get OFF Mr Bigfoot's bed...I mean hammock....that's not
polite!”
I remember my parents telling me off for climbing on stuff as a kid, too.

54. Edith and Elijah then began behaving inappropriately.

55. And then for no reason, Opal and Octopus had a fight.

56. The family then saw this tourist being stalked by a penguin.
It's not a good vacation until you've seen a tourist being stalked by a
penguin, right?

57. Then who should show up, but the pick pocketer!

58. Mr Charlatan quickly gets to work on the poor tourist.

59. “What just happened here?!”

60. Meanwhile, the penguin found a different tourist to follow.
Just in time for the Mirrors to return home.

61. Back home, the family found Garrett waiting. He immediately went to
work on the family farm.
I'm hoping for plantsims next generation.

62. Life continues as normal for the family, even with a bigfoot living with
them.
Somehow, Opal got herself into another fight. This time, she definitely
lost.

63. Olivia grew up, too, once the family had settled back into life. No party,
no friends, no family, just her.
Olivia rolled family.

64. Opal also decided on the best place to play with bubbles.
Apparently, it's the middle of the road.

65. Luckily for the Mirrors, they live on the quietest corner of town.

66. When the twin's birthdays come round, the entire family celebrates.
Even the cat.

68. Octopus and Opal grew up well! Opal rolled Romance, and Octopus
rolled Fortune.

69. Those were the only pictures I got of them as teens, because I had to
rebuild the hood after that. But there is good news as well as bad
news – the rebuild is finished, and the neighbourhood is ready to play
again.
I just need an heir. So the heir poll is now up.

70. “That's all we have time for, join me next time as the next generation
takes over!
Thanks for joining us!”
