Before you begin, read this:
I'm the mother of Haiko, Bebo, Stan, Tuki, and Mo. (The last two are twins.)
I am an ambassador (and the announcer) for Abarunu, a channel over in Chikakimu which teaches life skills. (The real-world Sunny says it's similar to one of those real-world infant-centered TV channels.)
Other than that, I'm a typical mother.
I remember the dark times. Both Bebo and Haiko were part of this group called the Yanloids. Only time I saw them in person during the time was in the summer months. Otherwise I'd wait for the next Yanloid concert to see them... and have my friends over while doing so. The PureiWorld Television Service would broadcast every single Yanloid concert. I have all of the concerts recorded onto Epi-carts (specifically if Bebo wanted to see them, or if there will be some sort of compensation thing going on related to the Yanloids.) Nebula's family watched them as well - they mainly saw my son Bebo cuz they used him TOO much. I was happy since I was able to see Bebo. (I had lost all not-in-person contact with him during the time since his phone at the time didn't work in Pureiworld.)
I had Stan (alongside Tuki and Oli later on) during the time to have another child in the house.
When Bebo and Haiko came home, I was so happy... but the bad part was that Bebo and Haiko were hurt very badly. I remember during the concerts, Bebo had to sing some messed up songs and such (for a 9-15 year old that is).
He was ONLY a child! And I wasn't able to get him out in time!!
A. It used to cost a TON to call those outside of Chikakimu (usually 0.5 kanoumu/minute) PLUS you can't call the Yanloid members unless you were a diehard fan... AND it costed a LOT. (I have done it once to try to get him out. They didn't think I am his mom, and they hung up as soon as I said "I need to get Bebo out of there.... he is MY SON." He was able to hear me, AND the operators could hear too.)
I was short of several kanoumu.
B. My son couldn't even call me AT ALL. (See A.)
