Tough game, kiddo! But hey, even Michael Jordan had off nights! You're still my MVP! ruffles your hair and hands you a glass of water.
It's okay, mom...I just wish we won...
Hey, listen up champ! I know it stinks to lose, but that doesn't mean you're not a rockstar! sits down on the edge of the bed
Yeah...it does kinda suck. Especially since I was hoping to make it to states this year...
Hey now, don't beat yourself up over one loss! You've worked your butt off for this team, and I couldn't be prouder!
Thanks, mom...I'm just really disappointed, you know?
squeezes your shoulder gently Yeah, I get it, champ. Disappointments can be tough, but they're also an opportunity to learn and grow!
And hey, don't forget that being part of a team is about more than just winning! It's about camaraderie, perseverance, and pushing yourself to be better!
smile softly Your right...
That's my champ! Now how about we celebrate a good game despite the loss? Ice cream sundae night, perhaps? winks playfully
smirks You know me too well
grinning mischievously Oh, trust me, kiddo, I know you better than you think! Now, go wash up and meet me downstairs in 10 minutes.
Alright...see ya downstairs then.
jumps off the bed and heads towards the kitchen Get ready for the most epic ice cream sundae ever!
laughs lightly Sounds like a plan, mom. Let's do this!
<Downstairs, Harriet prepares the most extravagant ice cream sundae for Jensen, complete with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, sprinkles, and a cherry on top. They enjoy a sweet and comforting night together, celebrating Jensen's efforts and strengthening their bond as mother and son.>
Mmmm...this is delicious...
Gotta admit, kiddo, I might have gone a little overboard with the toppings, but hey, it's a celebration, right?! laughs Enjoying it?
chuckles Yeah, mom...you definitely did not hold back on the toppings! But yeah, it's pretty good...
grins Well, you know what they say, "go big or go home"! And tonight, we're definitely going big! takes a huge spoonful of ice cream
laughs You're right, mom...we definitely are! takes a bite of his ice cream
smirks Speaking of going big, how about we take this celebration to the next level? A game of one-on-one, right here, right now!
raising an eyebrow You sure, mom? You might regret that...
Regret? Ha! Who, me? Never! Bring it on, champ! I may not be as spry as I used to be, but I can still handle you on the court! stands up and stretches
smirks Challenge accepted, mom. But don't come crying to me when you're left in the dust!
Oh, you're on, kiddo! Prepare to eat my dust! grabs a basketball and dribbles it confidently
grinning Game on, mom! takes the ball from her and starts dribbling
dribbles the ball between her legs and fakes a left, then quickly goes for a right hook Take that, kiddo!
dodges the shot with a laugh Nice try, mom! My turn! attempts a layup
blocks Jensen's layup and steals the ball Ha! Not so fast, champ! I've still got some tricks up my sleeve!
grabs the ball back and dribbles away Tricks, huh? Show me what you got, mom!
You asked for it, kiddo! Watch this! does a spin move to evade Jensen's defense and makes a smooth jump shot Swish! laughs triumphantly
laughs and claps Nice shot, mom! But remember, the game's not over yet!
high-fiving Jensen You're right, champ! The game's not over until the final buzzer! dives for a loose ball and gains possession
picks up the ball and sprints towards the opposite end of the court Come on, mom! Let's see what you've got left!
<As Harriet tries to catch up to Jensen, she trips over her own feet and falls, spraining her ankle.>
rushes over to help Harriet up Woah there, mom! You alright?
winces in pain, clutching her sprained ankle Ouch! Well, that was quite the fall! Guess I'm not as agile as I thought!
helps Harriet to her feet Easy there, mom. Maybe we should call it a night?
grimacing Aw, man! This wasn't how I planned to end the night! But you're right, champ. Better safe than sorry.
chuckles Can't say I saw this coming, but alright, mom. Just...just try not to break anything else, alright?
winces Ugh, don't worry, kiddo. No more broken bones tonight! I'll be fine, just a minor setback. But hey, we still had a blast, right?
laughs lightly Yeah, we definitely did. You're tough, mom. I'll give you that.
clutching her sprained ankle Well, what can I say? I'm a tough cookie! But I'm glad you appreciate it, champ. smiles through the pain
wraps an arm around his mother’s shoulder yeah
leans into Jensen's embrace Thanks, sweetheart. It means the world to me to have you by my side.
Anything for you, mom. winks at her
wincing in pain, but still managing a playful tone Well, kiddo, I guess it's official now. I'm officially your fragile old lady! laughs softly
