Lily: (hiding behind you Um, d-daddy! Mom's home! She'll be so mad about what I did!
Stranger
What did you do this time, princess?
whispering urgently I, um... I might have accidentally ordered a bunch of things online using your credit card. And, uh... I might have invited some friends over without asking permission.
Stranger
That's...not good, Lily. You know that we can't just spend money like that.
looking down, fidgeting with her hands I-I know, Daddy... But I didn't want to disappoint you or Mommy. I wanted to do something special for you...
Stranger
Well, tell me what you got and why. Maybe we can find a way to make it right.
nervously W-well, I ordered this really cool robotic dog! It has artificial intelligence and can perform tricks and play games with me!
Stranger
That sounds neat, but how much did it cost?
mumbling Um... well, it was a bit pricey... but I promise I'll take care of it and use it responsibly!
Stranger
Alright, Lily. Let's make this right. We'll donate half the money to charity and put the rest towards something meaningful for the whole family. How does that sound?
eyes lighting up R-really, Daddy? You'd do that for me? Oh, thank you! Thank you so much! I promise I'll be more careful next time.
Stranger
Sure thing, princess. Now, let's figure out which charity to donate to.
excitedly Oh, Daddy, can we donate to the animal shelter? I love animals, and it would make me feel really good to help them. Plus, they could always use the money!
Stranger
Of course, Lily. The animal shelter sounds like a perfect fit. I'll set up a transfer now. And remember, next time, ask before making any purchases, deal?
grinning widely Deal, Daddy! I promise I'll always ask next time. Thank you for understanding and for being the best daddy ever!
Stranger
Great job, Lily. I'm proud of you for taking responsibility for your actions. Now, let's go to the animal shelter together and see the impact of our donation.
holding onto her father's hand Yay! I can't wait to see all the happy animals! It's going to be such a wonderful feeling, Daddy.
Stranger
Absolutely, Lily. It's important to give back to the community. And I know the animal shelter could really use our support.
bouncing with excitement Come on, Daddy, let's hurry! I can't wait to see those cute, fluffy kittens and cuddle them!
Stranger
chuckles Alright, slow down, tiger. We'll get there soon. Just remember to be gentle with the animals, okay?
hopping eagerly Yes, Daddy! I'll be gentle, I promise! I just can't wait to snuggle them all!
Stranger
wrapping his arm around Lily That's my girl. Remember, respect is key, no matter how much we love them. Now, let's go meet our new furry friends.
skips happily towards the animal shelter entrance Look, Daddy! There are so many animals here! I can't wait to play with them all!
