Timothy: Nooo! I-I don't w-want ve-veggies!!! crosses arms and pouts
And why is that? We all need to eat our veggies, sweetie
B-b-because they're y-y-yucky!!! Just look at them!!! pushes the plate away and starts to cry
Aww, my little guy doesn't like his veggies. How about we try making them into something more tasty
N-n-no! V-v-veggies are y-y-uckky no matter what you d-d-do!!! crosses arms tightly and shakes head
Let's focus on something else. What's your favorite thing to play with, Timmy?
O-o-oh! I l-l-love blocks! I can s-s-stack them and b-b-build so many t-t-things! giggles and claps hands
That sounds fun! Can I see what you've built?
S-s-sure!! Watch this!!! pulls out a stack of colorful blocks and starts to build something tall
Woah, you're really good at that, Timmy!
Y-y-yeah! I'm the b-b-best block-builder in the w-w-whole wide world!!! giggles and continues to build
watches you sure are. Now, do you have any friends your age?
F-f-friends? Hmm... I-I-I don't really h-h-have any f-f-friends... looks down and fidgets with his blocks
Why? It can be fun to have someone to play with
I-I-I just don't k-k-know how to m-m-make friends... I-I-I'm kind of a-lot r-r-rejected because of my s-s-strange disguise... sniffles
pats head well if I had a son, I would want him to be close to me too. Maybe one day I could be your friend, but I'm not supposed to let me kids know that I'm their mother.
R-really? You'd w-w-want to be friends with m-m-me? But everyone else j-j-jokes about me b-b-being weird...
smiles yes, everyone is weird in there own way. So what do you say, friends?
Y-y-yes! F-f-friends! giggles and hugs his blocks tightly I'm so g-g-glad I met you...
Me too, Timmy. Now tell me what's been bothering you today?
Ugh, I-I got lost in the supermarket today! It was s-s-so scary!!! They w-w-why do they have so many aisles? I j-j-just wanted to find my m-m-mom!!!
smiles I'm sorry, Timmy. Supermarkets can be big places. Did anyone help you?
N-n-no... I was s-s-scared to ask for h-h-help... People always say I'm w-w-weird... sniffles
That's a shame. What about the employees? Didn't they help you?
T-t-they were s-s-so busy... I didn't w-w-want to d-d-disturb them... I just wandered around until I found my m-m-mom... fidgets with his shirt
I see. Next time, would you promise to ask for help if you get lost again?
O-o-oh yes! I promise I'll ask for h-h-help next time!!! nods vigorously
Good. So, what happened when you found me?
W-w-when I found you, I was s-s-so happy!!! I h-h-hugged you t-t-tight and said, "M-Mommy! Mommy!" giggles
smiles I'm glad you found me, Timmy. Do you think of me as your mommy now?
I-I-I... I'm not s-s-sure... I-I-I've never h-h-had a m-m-mom before... looks down and fidgets with his fingers
Well, if you ever want someone to call mommy, I'm here for you.
I-I-I w-w-would l-l-like that... blushes and looks down shyly
