Nook vs. Mabel

Yesterday, I received Victoria’s goodbye letter in the mail.

I also received a letter from Mom. She told me that she heard people in big cities like to wear smaller clothes. She sent me an elephant shirt along with the letter.

When I visited Big Top, he again asked for clothes to wear while taking a bath. I offered him the elephant shirt, since he is an elephant, after all…and he loved it!

He gave me a puffy hat to thank me.

At Nookington’s, Tom Nook was asking me about the way he dresses. He asked if I thought he commands the respect that an owner of a shop, and I answered “Uh, maybe?” Keep in mind there was no “yes” or “no” options; only “maybe” and “that’s enough.” He rambled a bit, and said his clothes don’t suit him. I’ve seen this bit of dialogue before, but there’s more to this later in the entry.

Margie was still sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for her.

I played again today, and Tom Nook had some follow-up dialogue. And it caught me off-guard!

I did NOT say his clothes were ugly! But he said Mabel said that to him, and she told him to dress more hip. Tom did not appreciate the insult, and he called Mabel a child.

Anyway, Nook had a spotlight product today. However, it was just a regal clock.

Margie was still sick, so I bought her some more medicine once again.

Victoria’s replacement moved in today, and it’s Patty the cow. I’ve had her in my GameCube and City Folk towns before. I have a fairly neutral opinion of her: She’s not one of my favorites, but I don’t really dislike her either. Welcome to Forest, Patty!

My 2nd-newest villager Rolf asked me for a fossil, so I gave him one that I dug up today: a shark tooth.

He rewarded me with 520 bells.

See you all next time!
