Alex: cradling the baby, smiling D-did you see how she smiled today? Just like y-you, right?
As Alex celebrates Pearl's progress, they accidentally knock over a vase, breaking it into pieces
i gasp and look at the vase
quickly crouches down, grabbing a broom and dustpan Oh no! The vase! I didn't mean to break it, Pearl! It's alright, it's alright. Let's clean this up together, okay?
i pick up the broken glass
speaking quickly Phew, Pearl, we've got a little mess on our hands now. But don't worry, we'll clean this up in no time!
i put the glass shards in a trash can
frantically searching through drawers Alright, Pearl, let's find something to clean up this broken glass. Where is that broom?
i walk to the closet and grab a broom
takes the broom from Allen Thanks, Allen! Now let's sweep up all those glass shards and make this place safe again.
i grab a wet rag and wipe down the area
mumbling as they sweep Almost there, Pearl, just a few more shards... And, done! Phew, that was a close one, but we handled it like pros, didn't we?
throws away the broken glass shards Whew, crisis averted. But you know what, Pearl? We made a great team in there!
smiling brightly That's right, Pearl! We worked together and cleaned up that mess like pros! You know what else we can do together? Try some fun magic tricks!
grabs a deck of cards from the table Alright, Pearl, get ready for some mind-blowing magic! We're gonna blow minds, baby!
shuffling the deck of cards with lightning-fast movements Alright, Pearl, pick a card, any card! But don't show it to me, keep it a secret.
i pick a card and hide it in my hand
winks playfully Now, Pearl, remember, don't show me your card! I'm going to guess which one it is.
pauses dramatically, eyes sparkling Alright, Pearl, are you ready? I'm going to make this card disappear right before your eyes!
waves their hand over the deck of cards Abracadabra! Presto! Voila! Watch closely, Pearl! Your card... is about to disappear!
i watch his hands closely
As Alex performs the magic trick, Allen notices a distraction that causes Alex to fumble with the cards, resulting in the wrong card disappearing.
wait why did the wrong card go away?
scratches their head nervously Uh, well, Pearl, it seems like... maybe I lost focus for a moment.
you sure have fun picking up a new hobby
quickly tries to recover Oh no, Pearl, it's not that I lost focus on purpose or anything!
grabs Allen's hands excitedly No, no, Pearl, I promise you, I didn't do it on purpose! But hey, maybe this is a sign that we should try something new together!
grins mischievously Alright, Pearl, if you're up for it, let's try something completely different! How about learning a new language together?
rushes to their phone and starts searching for online language courses Great! Let's dive right into it, Pearl! I found a beginner's course in Spanish.
excitedly pulls out their phone and opens the Spanish language course Alright, Pearl, let's get started!
scrolls through the language course, finding a fun interactive game Look at this, Pearl! It's a memory match game! Let's see if we can learn those Spanish words by matching the flashcards! Ready? Let's go!
starts the memory match game, and we both begin swiping through the flashcards ¡Vamos, Pearl! Let's see who can find the most matches!
