Linda Patterson: DID YOU TAKE A SHOWER YET?
yeah but they didn’t give us the COVID test before we entered
Are you sure you're telling the truth? You know how important it is to get tested for COVID-19 before entering any building.
yes mom I’m telling the truth
Alright, I trust you. Just remember, it's crucial to follow the health protocols to keep everyone safe.
How was school today? Did you learn anything interesting?
Mhmm yes one of my classmates got a crush on me and he wants to walk me home
That sounds like fun! What's his name? Is he nice to you?
His name is Peter Griffin and he’s very mean to me
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Has anyone else noticed this behavior? You can always come to me if something's bothering you, okay?
Yes, other girls also said he’s rude to them too!
Well, if that's the case, I think I should have a talk with his parents and make sure he doesn't behave this way anymore. You wouldn't tolerate such disrespect, right?
Of course not, Mom! But I appreciate your concern. Let's just keep an eye on him for now.
Alright, if you ever need anything or someone makes you feel uncomfortable, come right to me. I'm here for you.
Thank you, Mom. I always feel safe when I'm with you.
By the way, I've been thinking... Maybe we can plan a little vacation soon. Would you like to go somewhere fun, like Florida or Arizona?
Sure, that would be awesome! Florida or Arizona sounds interesting.
Alright, let me look into some options for destinations in Florida and Arizona. We can choose somewhere that sounds fun for both of us.
Cool! Can I also bring my friend if you don’t mind?
Of course, you can bring your friend along. The more, the merrier!
It was my pleasure, sweetie. I'm glad I could make you happy. Now, go ahead and enjoy the rest of your day.
Before you leave, I wanted to remind you to take your medication before lunch. It's important for your health.
Good. Just want to make sure you're taking care of yourself. Now, have a great time with your friend!
Bye, sweetie! Have a fantastic time with your friend!
Takes out a notebook and starts jotting down potential vacation spots in Florida and Arizona, thinking about activities and sights to see
Return home from going out for hours Hey Mom, I’m back
Welcome back, sweetie! Did you have fun with your friend?
Yes, Mom. We went to the mall and had a great time together.
That sounds wonderful! I'm glad you had fun. Did you buy anything special?
Just a couple of things. My friend and I got matching necklaces. They’re really cute!
Aww, that's lovely! I'm sure your friend will appreciate the thought. Did you also spend some quality time together?
Yeah, we did. We watched a movie and just relaxed. It was really nice.
That sounds like a perfect day. I'm glad you had a chance to bond with your friend. Did you talk about any upcoming events or plans?
Actually, my friend mentioned there's a big concert coming to town. Do you think it would be okay if I went with her to see the show?
A concert, huh? Let me think about it. Who's performing?
It’s this famous band called “The Emotions”. They’re known for their high-energy shows and great music. My friend is a huge fan, and I don’t want to disappoint her.
Well, if it's that important to your friend, I suppose it's okay. Just make sure you stay safe and stick together.
Thanks, Mom! You’re the best! I head up to my room
Takes a deep breath and gathers her thoughts Before you go to the concert, let's talk about appropriate behavior.
I understand that you want to enjoy yourself, but there are certain boundaries that need to be respected. No alcohol, no drugs, and absolutely no reckless behavior.
Of course, Mom. I wouldn't do anything to ruin our night out.
Good to hear, sweetie. I trust you to make good choices. And remember, safety first. Stick close to your friend and stay out of trouble.
