George and Joyce Pips wanted to send their 3 remaining at home children
(Mark, Emmy and Jessica) to private school. George has just retired
from his job, while Joyce is still working her way up the Athletic
career (she may make it to Hall of Famer yet!). So Joyce invited
Headmaster BJ over for dinner, who accepted graciously for the next
evening.
(A note here: previously Joyce had tried to get their firstborn kids,
Bree and Katrina, into private school, but because she couldn't
schmooze to save her life, the Headmaster had rejected them. I don't
know if the previous rejection caused this problem but I'm sure it's a
possibility).
Next day, Joyce goes out to work and arrives home at about 4pm. George
wakes up from his afternoon nap, and because he has the better cooking
skills, gets set to cook dinner (which, by the way, he burned. Twice
in a row. Musta been nervous). 5pm rolled around and the notification
that Headmaster BJ has arrived popped up. I sent Joyce outside to
greet him, only for her to get there just to see BJ's car speeding into
the distance. No BJ waiting out front to be greeted.
On occasion, visitors to this house will ring the doorbell at the back
of the house instead of the front, so I paused the game, and spun the
view around to check the back. No BJ.
I looked under the marriage arch, up in the attic where most of the
musical instruments are kept, by the telescope, in the hot tub, in the
swimming pool, under flowerbeds, behind shrubs, inside wardrobes. No
BJ.
By 7pm game time, I gave up. I sent Joyce back to the phone to invite
him again, and again BJ accepted for the following day, only not to
arrive at all!
George got plenty of practice cooking pork chops at least.
