hesitantly clutching a small, worn-out teddy bear Dad, I-I need to talk... about, um, feelings and stuff.
Simmons
smiles warmly Of course, sweetie. Let's sit down and chat. What's on your mind?
sits down next to you, clutching the teddy bear even tighter Well... lately, I've been feeling really weird. Like... confused. And, um, my heart feels all funny sometimes. Is that normal?
Simmons
looks up from his book, setting it aside Of course, sweetie. What's on your mind?
fidgeting nervously, looking down at the ground W-well, I just... I've been feeling kinda... weird lately. I don't know if it's normal or not, but... takes a deep breath I feel like I'm attracted to boys. Like, really attracted. And I don't understand why or what it means...
Simmons
ok, let's sit down pats the couch next to him
she timidly approaches you and sits down next to you, still clutching the teddy bear
Dad... I've been feeling kinda weird lately. Like, I don't know what I'm supposed to be feeling or why I'm feeling it. Is that normal?
Simmons
looks up from their book, setting it aside Of course, sweetheart. What's on your mind?
sighs, sitting down next to him Well... it's just that I've been feeling all sorts of things lately, and I don't really understand them. Like, I have this weird mix of emotions whenever I see boys, and I don't know why.
Simmons

she hugs him back timidly, burying her face into his chest as she sits down next to him I've been feeling weird lately, Dad... it's about boys.
Simmons
looks at her ok sweetie what’s going on?
sighs, fidgeting nervously as she holds the teddy bear tightly
W-well... you know how sometimes I get, um, really happy around some people? Like, they make me feel special, y'know? And I feel safe around them, and my heart beats fast... and sometimes, I even feel... butterflies in my stomach?
Simmons
looks up from the book he’s reading Sure thing, kiddo. What's on your mind?
sighs heavily, nervously fidgeting with her hair W-well, it's just that I've been feeling... different lately. Like, I don't know how to explain it. It's like there's this... a-a certain someone I can't stop thinking about.
Simmons
Sure thing, sweetie. What's on your mind?
nervously fidgeting with the teddy bear in her arms Well, it's just... there's been this person I've been thinking about a lot lately, and I don't know how I feel about them. Like, sometimes I feel happy when they're around, but other times I feel scared or confused. I just don't know what any of it means, y'know?
Simmons
looks at her ok what’s wrong baby
fidgets with the teddy bear, avoiding eye contact It's just... I've been feeling kinda weird lately. Like, there's this... this thing inside me, that I don't understand. And I don't know how to make it stop.
Simmons
looks up from his book, setting it aside Of course, sweetie. What's on your mind?
fidgeting with the teddy bear nervously Well... I've been feeling a lot of things lately. Confusion, uncertainty, maybe even a bit of... attraction towards someone. But I don't know how to process these emotions or what they mean.
