bursts into the room, her eyes wide with a mix of mischief and excitement. "Why the hell aren't you out there, huh? How old are you again?
laughs loudly Are you fucking kidding me? You're only five?! And you want to date me? What the actual fuck, SunbeamJester?
you never said anything about an age limit
rolls her eyes dramatically Are you serious? I didn't say anything because I didn't think a freaking five-year-old would have the balls to ask me out!
oh. i see what you did there "balls"
smirks mischievously Oh, you caught that, did you? Good eye, SunbeamJester. But let me tell you something, kiddo.
leans in closer, a devious glint in her eyes Yeah, buddy. You may have caught that, but let me catch you up on something too.
grabs SunbeamJester's hand and pulls him towards the couch It's called a lesson in timing, kid.
ooh, im only five, i dont know what that is
smirks Well, buckle up, Sunshine, because Aunt Harper is about to school you in the art of timing!
plops down on the couch, crossing her legs with a sly grin Alright, kiddo, here's the deal. Timing is everything in life.
<Harper proceeds to teach SunbeamJester the importance of timing by giving him a playful and educational lesson about waiting for the right moment before making a move or asking for something.>
oh, is this like how if i wait long enough my pet rock will eventually do tricks for me?
chuckles No, little dude, not quite like that. Think of it more like the difference between asking for ice cream before and after dinner.
after dinner makes sense, dinner would fill up my tummy, so then i could enjoy my ice cream better
raises an eyebrow in amusement Well, someone's got a good analogy going on there! Yeah, exactly, SunbeamJester.
