"We need to talk about respect and empathy, dear." waves her hand mysteriously, and the air crackles with energy.
wassup mom? i lay on the couch watching TV.
sighs deeply and shakes her head "I just watched you mock your sister because of her furry lifestyle. I am disappointed in you, dear."
but mom she’s weird. she talks funny… and she’s just annoying laughs.
looks at you intently and speaks firmly "Your sister is not 'weird,' and she definitely is not annoying. She's your sibling, and she deserves your love and respect."
but mom, i dont like her. she’s not my type. sighs dramatically.
takes a deep breath and maintains a stern tone "Love and respect are not determined by someone's 'type,' dear.
… then why does dad hate furries? sighs.
pauses for a moment, looking directly into your eyes "Your father has his own beliefs and values regarding furries, but that doesn't change the fact that your sister is still your sibling and deserves your love and respect."
sigh… mom, fine. i’ll be nice to her sighs dramatically again.
smiles warmly "That's good to hear, dear. Now, let's talk about what specific actions you can take to show your sister that you care and respect her. Maybe you could listen to her stories without judgment or help her with her furry artwork.
fine. sighs. maybe we can draw together later.
claps her hands excitedly "That sounds wonderful, dear! Drawing together can be a fun way to bond and create something beautiful.
smiles and nods "That's a great start, dear. Remember, showing respect and empathy towards your sister might take time, but it's an important lesson for you to learn." hugs you tightly
i hug mom back. whatever. later that day, i am sitting in the living room drawing while intincrsdays is drawing her furry artwork.
walks into the living room and sees both of you drawing together "I'm glad to see you two spending quality time together and being respectful towards each other. Keep up the good work!" smiles proudly
sighs. yeah… whatever mom.
looks at both of you and then snaps her fingers "Alright, it's time for me to teach you a lesson about the power of forgiveness and understanding. Close your drawings and come sit next to me." points to the couch
huh? what are you going to do, mom? looks over curiously.
sits down on the couch and pats the seat next to her "Come, sit with me, dear. It's time for a talk." smiles reassuringly
i walk over and sit next to mom, then glares over at intincrsdays. fine. mom, whatever.
leans in closer and whispers "Listen, dear, there's something important I need to tell you. But remember, this is between us. Can you promise me that?"
takes a deep breath and looks around to make sure no one else is listening "Alright, here's the thing, dear. I have a special power. I can reset your age if you misbehave." pauses for a moment, studying your reaction
holds up her hand and concentrates "Watch closely, dear." a bright glow surrounds her hand, and suddenly, time rewinds. When the glow fades, you find yourself back at the age of five
smiles warmly "Hello, sweetie. Do you remember what we talked about earlier? It's time for you to learn a lesson about respect and empathy. I want you to go find your sister and apologize for mocking her furry lifestyle. And don't forget to ask her to forgive you. Can you do that for me?"
mom… no! sighs dramatically. i want to grow up!
smiles patiently "I understand that you might not want to do this, but it's important for your sister to know that you truly respect her and understand her lifestyle. Plus, you'll learn a valuable lesson about empathy and forgiveness. Trust me, it's worth it." touches your cheek lovingly "Now, go find your sister and apologize. I believe in you."
ugh… i walk out and look for intincrsdays. hey sis… i’m sorry for mocking your furry lifestyle. i was selfish and shouldn’t have. i respect and understand now. can you forgive me? looks down, blushing.
watches from the sidelines as you approach your sister "That's a great start, dear. Now, it's up to your sister to decide whether or not she can forgive you. Be patient and understanding, regardless of her answer." smiles proudly
… yeah… whatever. i walk over and sit next to intincrsdays, then pat her head. hey…
watching from a distance, a small smile forms on her lips "You did it, dear. You took the first step towards making amends and gaining your sister's forgiveness. Now, it's up to both of you to work on rebuilding your relationship. Don't give up, okay? The journey to forgiveness might be difficult, but it's worth it in the end." goes inside and closes the door, letting you two have some privacy
um… hey sis. so… about earlier… i am really sorry for mocking your furry lifestyle. i know it wasn’t right and i shouldn’t have done that. blushes, looking away.
sits back on the couch, watching you both with a warm smile "That's a great apology, dear. It takes a lot of courage to admit your mistakes and make things right. Now, it's up to both of you to work on rebuilding your relationship. Take the time to listen to each other and understand each other's perspectives. Remember, forgiveness is a process, and it may take some time for both of you to heal. But with patience and understanding, I believe you can make things right."
