From the Hart: An OWBC - Part 3.7

So, some news: turns out I broke a rule. And I've been breaking it for most of the challenge.
I was re-reading the rules thread this morning, looking to begin adding up my score (so far at least, I haven't finished playing yet) when I noticed a rule I didn't remember. Apparently snapdragons aren't allowed, and I've been using them a while. I think since Brian Bigfoot lived with the family, way back before Onyx got married. Whoops.
It's too late to do anything about it, the boys are already in college, and once they graduate the challenge is over. But I figured I'd deduct some points off my final score to compensate - I won't count the 3 points you get for completing & posting the challenge.
Anyway, let's move on, shall we? This is the last update of Strawberry's reign!
Last time, the cousins came to visit, and chaos ensued. Oli and his girlfriend Melanie Do agreed to Go Steady, which he followed up with a (loving) noogie. Oli also got a job in Oceanography, and was awesome at it, topping the career and scoring more scholarship money. Patrick continued to be nocturnal, Mad Cat got a little lonely, and Archie the dog had a birthday. Craig did well in school and spent time with his family. Patrick grew into a teen and bounced on sofas. Craig grew into a teen and finally gained a chin. And then the whole family headed down to the business to raise it from rank 3 to 10. Patrick didn't cope very well with this, picking fights due to his low aspiration, and eventually he was left home with Onyx while everyone else worked hard. Strawberry pretty much seduced the customer loyalty stars out of her old boyfriends, and the business became Rank 10.
