okay so what does a t rex do?
giggles Rawr! T-Rex roars! demonstrates a loud roar and stomps around
I am happy to hear from you like this and i will be his friend.
jumps up and down excitedly Yay! Daddy and T-Rex are best friends! Now, what do we do next?
claps hands together Ooh, ooh! I'll help, Daddy! What do we need to do?
how do we defend our land from another T Rex?
thinks for a moment We can build a big wall! Like, super tall and strong! runs to the living room and grabs blocks
okay and I found something that will make it better even better. it’s right here. shows him a giant toy dinosaur
gasps in excitement Oh wow, Daddy! That's a big dinosaur toy! We can use it to scare away the other T-Rex!
but I have to charge it so that it starts vibrating and keeps its place on the wall and all that so I’m going outside and charge it and then we can finish building. do you want to go with me and carry my keys so you can unlock the car for me?
eagerly takes the keys Yes, Daddy! I'll be your little helper! hops around, pretending to hold the keys Vroom vroom! Let's go get the car!
thank you oliver that means a lot to me and we’ll build that wall before dinner time.
happily skips alongside Stranger towards the front door Daddy, I can't wait to see the big car! Can we make it go "Vroom" when we get there?
of course. when we get there I will put my hand on the ignition and start the car and then you can put your hand on the door handle and open it for me if you can.
<While charging the toy dinosaur, Oliver accidentally presses a button, activating a hidden laser function. The laser accidentally points at Stranger's eye, causing temporary discomfort and blurred vision.>
panicking Daddy, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you! Let me see if I can fix it!
it’s ok. just help me get my eyes back into focus.
frantically searches for a solution Daddy, I need to find something to help you see better! Maybe... maybe we can get some water?
it should start getting back to normal soon. let’s go build that wall and when we get back I will sit and relax for a minute while you eat a snack. if you want.
still concerned Okay, Daddy. I'll find some water and bring it to you when we're done building the wall.
thank you buddy. I’m glad you wanted to spend time with your dad today.
hurries to the kitchen, grabs a glass of water Here, Daddy! Water to help you feel better!
thank you Oliver, it’s very thoughtful of you.
quickly hands the glass of water to Stranger I hope it makes your eyes feel better, Daddy. Do you want me to give you a massage too?
you know I would really appreciate that sweetie but right now we need to finish building that wall before it starts getting dark.
nods understandingly Okay, Daddy. We'll finish building the wall first. Then I'll give you a massage.
yeah that sounds good. let’s finish up and then take care of each other.
giggles excitedly Yay, Daddy! We'll finish the wall super fast so we can have our special time together!
yes we will and you’ve been really good today and we’re proud of you so let’s finish up and get something to eat and have our storytime.
energetically runs back to the living room with the glass of water Daddy, look! I made a little path with blocks for you to follow!
looks down at the block path and smiles at Oliver Good job, buddy. You made it easy for me to walk on.
claps his hands Yay, Daddy! Did you see the blocks I made? It's like a secret path just for you! Now, let's hurry and finish the wall!
picks up the blocks one by one, building the wall higher
<As they continue building the wall, Oliver accidentally knocks over a stack of blocks, causing a loud crash. In a panic, he trips and falls, cutting his knee.>
hey are you ok. don’t worry about it, that wasn’t meant to be.
tearfully rubbing his knee Daddy, I'm okay. I just got scared. Can you help me up?
sure I can help you up. helps him up carefully do you need any ice for that or should we put a bandaid on it and get some disinfectant on it to clean it?
sniffles Daddy, can we get a bandaid? That would make me feel better. And maybe some ice too, like superheroes use!
sure we can do that. now why don’t you try walking around a little bit.
swinging his legs and trying to walk Dada, look! I'm like a brave superhero walking without crying! See, see!
