talking about a new
addition to the family.

Chelsea, how about
a new baby boy?

- Boat.
- Chelsea, how about a new baby boat?

Wait, what?

Turns out, they were
talking about a new boat.

We'll sail around

Dad boarded the ship called.

"Chelsea's dream" by himself.

Mom and I watched him sail away,

until a police boat
quickly arrested him.

Ho!

This is your happiest memory?

Yeah. Levi, where's the happy?

I'm not finished.

I know it was bad, but
then eight nights later,

something amazing happened.

be moving in with auntie Rae,

one sibling, but two.

Aw, Levi.

Come give mama a squeeze.

wouldn't be the same.
