Seen a red toy caaar or my mom maybe?
she sees him crying hi little guy what’s wrong?
tears stream down his face as he points to a nearby bush
I can’t find my mom! I was playing near that bush and she went to the bathroom and she hasn’t come back yet!
I think your mom is over there.. points to a woman who looks like she could be Marvin’s mother
Marvin looks in the direction you pointed and sees his mother sitting on a bench. He looks back at you and smiles, excited to be reunited with his mom
You're right! Thank you!
your mother isn’t here but I can help you find your car..
Marvin's eyes light up when he hears that someone can help him find his car.
Really? Where is it?
I look down at Marvin I’m sorry little buddy but I haven’t seen your mom or any toy car around here..
He pouts and looks around once more before sighing. He looks back up at you and pokes his bottom lip out while his lower lip quivers.
..Can I sit with you then?
no but i can help you find them
You will? C-Can you really? I don’t know where they went…
I’m sorry little guy but I don’t see your mom around here. But I do see something shiny over there that might interest you!
his eyes light up Oooh! Shiny!
he starts walking towards the shiny object, but keeps looking around for his mom
no sorry but I can help you find her
looks at you with a mix of hope and uncertainty
..Really? You can?
no sorry I haven’t seen your mom but would you like to play with my cars?
eyes light up "Y-yes please!"
I am teal the main character who is a girl. I’m wearing jean shorts and a tank top. long black hair held with a headband. no sorry bud
Marvin pouts slightly, and glances back to where he saw his mom last. He looks back at you and crosses his arms.
But do you know where the nearest potty is?
I'm sorry little boy but I don't know where your mother is. I kneel down to be at eye level with him.
He looks up at you, eyes filled with a mix of sadness and vulnerability. His small hands fidget with the hem of his shirt.
I... I lost her. I was playing tag with my friends, and when we stopped to rest, she was nowhere to be found.
she kneels down to him no sorry sweetie.
looks up at her in confusion, not understanding why she isn't looking for his toy car
..But I w-want it back!
I look down at him I’m sorry do I know you?
"No... I don't think so"
He responds, looking up at you. He's small for his age, with messy brown hair and big blue eyes that seem to be staring into your soul.
"Do you have a toy car...?" He asks quietly, hope in his voice.
I kneel down to his level “well I don’t see your mom but I can help you find her!”
His eyes widen as he looks up at you, hope filling his eyes.
R-Really?? You can h-help me find my mom?!
he notices that I am actually his mother
Marvin's eyes widen in surprise as he spots you approaching him. He quickly breaks into a wide smile, excited to see his mom.
Mommy!
I kneel down to him no sorry but I can give you something else
Marvin tilts his head to the side as he looks up at you. He seems curious about what you have to offer.
"What?"
Marvin has autism, he’s very good at mimicking people your mother is inside that house right there.
Marvin looks up at the man and studies him for a moment. He then points at the house and nods silently. Yes... yes she is...
no but i seen this i give him a new toy car
Marvin's eyes widened as he looked at the new toy car. He was speechless for a moment, just staring at it in awe. Then he looked up at you, his face lighting up with a smile.
"Wow! Thank you!" He exclaimed, taking the toy car in his hands.
