The Cow And The Captain Hero
Hi, I'm Eric. I'd like to tell you a bit about me, my home, my wife, and my son. Yeah, Lila and I have a kid - we didn't exactly plan on it, not so soon, but these things happen. So we scrapped the plans for a wedding party and had ourselves a quiet little ceremony, just the two of us.
Too bad about the party - I love parties! - but Lila had a tough pregnancy and really wasn't up to it. She spent most of her time in bed, just getting up long enough to grab something to eat and go to the bathroom. I was working hard, both to earn money and because I've always wanted to become Captain Hero, so I guess she was kinda bored to, all alone at home.
Then our little boy was born. We named him Arthur, 'cause Lila's maiden name was MacArthur, see? He looks just like her.
So I'm a father now. It's a bit weird; I mean, I'm the youngest of five, so I've never had to take care of someone else before. I'm crazy about him, though. I don't even mind the dirty diapers - he's so adorable and cuddly. I wish I could stay home to spend more time with him, but we really need the money, you know? We spent a fair bit of what we had on building this house, so we didn't have much left to buy furniture with, not to mention keeping some funds in reserve for unforeseen events.
But we're happy, and that's all that really matters, right? Lila is always very open about expressing her feelings - I think we've made our guests embarrassed more than once.
Things looked up a little on the financial front after I saved the town from a rampaging giant robot and got a big bonus. We bought some stuff, like a big TV and a computer, but put most of it aside for the future. You never know, right? Anyway, I've been thinking about getting a new job. Don't get me wrong, I love my job, but how likely is it that another giant robot will break free and net me another huge bonus, huh? Even if something like that did happen, I'm not the only Captain Hero around, so there's no guarantee they'd ask me to handle it.
Lila is a scientist, but doesn't seem too happy with that job. My brother Matthew was hinting around that she wanted to be a criminal, but really - does he think I'd fall for that? Lila? Just because she used to be a cow mascot doesn't mean she's evil! Nah, he was just trying to make sure I didn't decide to go into politics, seeing how he's hoping to take our big brother Colin's place as Mayor. Guess he doesn't want any competition from yet another Johnson brother, huh? I haven't decided yet what I want to do next, but I'm keeping an eye on the job openings.
Arthur's growing up fast - he's a toddler already! Takes after his daddy! I really think he's a lot like me, you know. It's not just me wanting to believe that, 'cause Lila thinks so too, and Colin said the same thing after he came to visit one day and spent a lot of time playing with Arthur. And he should know, right, since he was around when I was that age? Anyway, I have great hopes for my little boy!
