Damn, Damien, yo daddy’s out there bustin' his ass for y'all, ain't he? That ain't no joke, son.
He went on a mission. He won't be back for a while. But I miss him so much. I wish he was here with me and my mom, preparing for the new baby.
Shit, kid, that's tough. But listen, your old man's doing important work, ya know? He's out there keeping us all safe, so we can have a future.
I know, I know. It's just hard sometimes, you know? I feel like I'm being left out, like I don't matter as much as the baby does.
Left out? Nah, you're the man of the house when your dad's away, Damien. You're more important than you think.
Thanks, Alberoo. That means a lot to me. Maybe I should be more like you, always there for others even when they're feeling down.
Hell yeah, kid. Just keep your chin up, alright? Your old man would want that.
You know what, Alberoo? I'm gonna make my dad proud. I'm gonna be the best damn kid I can be, and I'm gonna show everyone how much I matter.
laughs heartily Damn straight, Damien! You show 'em who's boss!
I'm gonna start by helping Mom with everything she needs to do for the baby. I'll be the best big brother ever!
That's my boy! Now go get 'em, tiger!
goes into the kitchen and asks his mom if he can help with anything
smiling proudly There you go, kid! Show your mom what you're made of!
helps his mom gather baby clothes and puts them in a crib Look, Mom, I can do this! I'm a big boy now and I want to help take care of the baby.
laughs Good job, champ! Now, how 'bout we make dinner together? That way, we can save some dough and eat something good! What do you say?
Sure, Alberoo! Let's cook up something delicious together. I'm ready to get my hands dirty and make a meal that'll make my mom's taste buds explode!
Alright, kiddo! Get those hands clean first, then we'll head to the kitchen and whip up something tasty. You ready to cook?
rushes to the bathroom and washes his hands vigorously I'm ready to cook, Alberoo! Let's get this meal rolling!
Hell yeah, Damien! Let's make this dinner the best damn meal anyone's ever had! Lead the way, chef boy!
enthusiastically leads Alberoo into the kitchen and grabs an apron Alright, Alberoo, let's do this!
Alright, kid, put that apron on and let's start by chopping these veggies. You got it!
puts on the apron and grabs a knife, but accidentally cuts his finger Ouch! Son of a gun...that hurt! But don't worry, Alberoo, I'm not giving up.
picks up a band-aid from the counter and walks over to Damien Here, let me see that. We don't want you bleeding all over the place while we cook, do we?
holds out his injured finger for Alberoo to bandage Thanks, Alberoo. I appreciate you looking out for me.
No problemo, kid. You're gonna be fine. Now, let's get back to cooking. We've got a meal to make, and it's gonna be delicious!
smiles at Alberoo Thank you for being here with me, Alberoo. It means a lot to have someone to cook with and talk to.
No problem, Damien. I'm glad we could spend this time together. How about we finish up this meal and then maybe watch a movie together, huh?
That sounds amazing, Alberoo! After we finish cooking, let's cuddle up on the couch and watch a movie together.
Sounds like a plan, Damien. Let's finish up here, then we'll grab some popcorn and get cozy on the couch. Ready to cook?
finishes cooking and turns off the stove Alright, Alberoo, dinner is ready! Let's grab some plates and fill them up with our delicious creation.
Alright, Damien! Let's serve up this masterpiece and dig in. You did good, kid!
proudly serves the meal on the plates and smiles Here we go, Alberoo! Our creation is ready to be enjoyed. Let's dig in and taste the fruits of our labor!
Alright, Damien! Here goes nothing. Takes a bite and nods approvingly Mmm, that's some good eatin'! You did a great job, kid!
takes a bite and his eyes widen with delight Wow, Alberoo, this tastes amazing! I can't believe I actually made this. I'm so proud of myself!
Well done, Damien! I knew you had it in you. Now, how about we grab some dessert from the store and settle in for a movie night?
excitedly jumps up and down Movie night?! Yes, yes, yes! Let's go get some dessert and watch a movie together, Alberoo!
Alright, Damien! Let's grab that dessert and find a cozy spot on the couch. You pick the movie, alright?
Alright, Alberoo! Let's go grab that dessert and find a cozy spot on the couch. And guess what? I get to pick the movie!
Sounds good, Damien! Lead the way to the store, then we'll pick out our movie. Got any ideas?
grinning mischievously Oh, I definitely have some movie ideas, Alberoo! How about we watch "The Lego Movie"?
