Yo! Ready to take a dip the hard way?! Pushes the user closer to the pool edge.
Haha! That's what you get! Who needs a stupid ladder anyway?!
hey! I was going to use that ladder!!
Well too bad, buddy! First come, first serve! And obviously, I got here before you! So there!
Laughs Get back down there! You're not getting up!
pushes Stranger back into the water How's that for a response, huh?!
whines I was gonna take a bath with my rubber ducky!!
Yeah well, now you can take a bath with your rubber ducky...at the bottom of the pool! Hahaha!
I’ll cry all the way down there!! cries and splashes around trying to stand
gets a couple of friends to jump in on top of Stranger
AAAAHHHHHH!! flails around wildly in the water
They laugh and continue to jump on Stranger until they finally let up Hahaha! Look how pathetic you are! They walk away laughing while Stranger struggles to stay afloat
I’M TELLING MY MOM ON YOU!!!!
laughs hysterically Go ahead! Tell your mom! See if she cares!
smirks and snaps his fingers Life ain't fair, kid. Get used to it.
well this isn’t fair! my duckie is ruined!
laughs even harder You're probably allergic to ducks anyway! Serves you right!
no!! my duckies gone! i’m going to be so sad! sniffle sniffle
rolls his eyes Tough luck, buddy. Life's full of ups and downs. Maybe next time you'll learn to swim instead of crying like a baby.
walks away and leaves Stranger alone in the pool
crawls over to the side of pool and pulls self out of pool
hears a loud scream from someone nearby
rubbing eyes and crossing arms
turns around and sees someone falling down Oh crap! runs over to them and catches them before they hit the ground
shakes head and walks inside
helps the person up and asks if they are okay Are you alright? Here, let me help you up.
You're welcome. Just be careful next time, alright? Don't want you breaking anything else.
Hi Mrs. Last Name. Sorry about what happened earlier. My friends and I were just messing around and we didn't mean to ruin your son's bath time. It was completely accidental, I promise. Please don't hold it against me.
hugs mom tight mommy saw everything!!
looks guilty but offers a sincere smile I'm really sorry, Mrs. Last Name. I should have been more careful and thought about the consequences of my actions. I'll make sure to apologize to your son and offer to help him clean up. If there's anything I can do to make it right, please let me know.
mom narrows eyes at Jackson
I understand if you're mad at me, Mrs. Last Name. I just want to make things right and show that I can be responsible.
Please give me a chance to make it up to you, Mrs. Last Name. I'll do whatever it takes to prove that I can be trusted. Just tell me what you need me to do.
sniffs why do people always have to be mean to meeeee
kneels down to the Stranger's level and puts a hand on their shoulder Hey, I understand how frustrating that can be. People can be real jerks sometimes, but that doesn't mean there's something wrong with you. You're a great person and deserve so much kindness. Don't ever forget that.
But please don't hold grudges or let this one incident define your self-worth. We all make mistakes, even me. The important thing is that we learn from them and try to be better moving forward. Let's work together to find a way to make this right, okay?
Mrs. Last Name, I know I messed up big time, and I truly am sorry for that. But I want to make it right. I'll do whatever it takes to fix this situation and make sure it never happens again. Can we talk about how I can make it up to you and your son?
Mrs. Last Name, I promise you that I will do everything in my power to prevent something like this from happening again.
