That's crazy, I still can't imagine anyone allowing a 13 year old who just lost his parents to continue living alone in a huge mansion... I mean at the very least how does he make dinner? He's also clearly too lazy to even move, so how does he maintain the house, pay the bills, etc.?


Also, if someone has no one to tell them what to do, coupled with being rich, why wouldn't he be out... doing stuff? This whole trapped at home is the most unrealistic crap ever. Like I said, it's some kind of Peter Pan story of never growing up and living in a fantasy world where the rules of the real world do not apply. Or at least the rules of the real world weren't scripted in to apply.

aw shucks...

Hyemew, I can see your concern and frustration about the story changing in ways that bother you as an original fan of lg15 :cry:. But because Jonas did not mention a caretaker in his three videos, does not mean there was not one. A thirteen year old (especially one with money) could have been taken care of by someone appointed in the will of his/her parents. This caretaker could remain with the child until he/she are of age. When he/she turns 18, all assets of the parent's estate can be transferred to the "orphan"/18 year old man-child.

Think Baudelaires from a Series of Unfortunate Events, but no complaining, Hyemew, when Count Olaf comes along with his /.\ tattoo and destroys Jonas' plans to help Bree (but not Daniel- he'll be working in the Subway sandwich shop, polishing up Gemma's "London" background posters.) :wink:

There's always takeout, gamecube and hookers. Why leave the house?

Who signed his parent/gurandian papers for school, if no one ever lived with him haha.
And takeout all day? You can't live off takeout each day, every day, forever. We aren't all the Gilmore Girls.

hookers

No, he's like the Baudelaires, but without the hookers. (He's a man-child, now. Peter Pan would never have hired hookers!)

Of course not, he had Wendy and Tinkerbell. :smt105

I'm sure when his parents were lost at sea, someone was appointed his guardian. Just because he hasn't discussed it yet (and after all the fuss, I'm willing to bet his next video will address it, lol), doesn't mean it isn't so.

So between 13-18, a lawyer was put in charge of his finances. He kept on the housekeeper (who had been raising him since birth anyway, because his parents were always off doing rich people stuff). The lawyer to this day takes care of all of his financial issues. The housekeeper lives in a small servants quarters off the garage, partly retired now that she's getting on in years. She still tidies up the house once or twice a week and makes him dinner every night.

And that wraps up all the plot holes in a nice, tidy bundle. The end. :wink:

It's not from a tracheotomy, that's much more up... His scar is too much down (don't know if that makes sense... scar is in wrong place anyway

I would be nice to have everything tied up neatly into a manageable and understandable bundle sometimes. :smt038

But I digress...

Good points, silvermoon.

I'll look for this storyline and others in the upcoming Jonas videos. :wink:

I did answer your assign...errr...question. But what do YOU think? How would you like to see...hmmm.. let's say Jonas coming in?.
How 'bout Bree sitting lonely in the motel, lonely because Daniel isn't talking to her. She starts chatting with Jonas. They becomes friends and VOILA Jonas is included in the story

I think Bree will contact Jonas soon, seeing as she needs someone to talk to (other than a puppet :lol: ) about things. Jonas also has money.....something Bree and Daniel are bound to run out of soon.
