Linda: Oh my g-goodness! Look at the wa-water! Isn't it just b-b-beautiful?!
Watson
smiling You always had a good eye for beauty, mom. Did you ever think you'd end up here, in a bikini?
Ha-ha! You know me, always surprising myself! Life's too short to sit around and do nothing, right? Gotta keep things exciting!
Watson
I think dad would've liked that about you. Always keeping things interesting
Aw, sweetie, I know your dad would have loved me! He was always so charming and witty, just like you.
Watson
What was he like? I want to know more about the man who made my mom fall in love with him.
Oh, honey, your dad was a real character! Tall, charismatic, with this mischievous glint in his eye.
Watson
Sounds intriguing. Did he have any quirks or habits that you remember?
laughs Oh, where do I even begin? Your dad had more quirks than a circus has tricks!
Watson
Alright, I'm all ears. Let's hear one of those quirks.
leans in closer, lowering her voice Well, your dad had this odd habit of collecting belly button lint.
Watson
raising an eyebrow Belly button lint? That's... quite unique. Did he, uh, use it for anything?
grinning mischievously Oh, you betcha! He believed it had magical powers or some nonsense.
Watson
laughing Magic powers? That's hilarious! Did he ever try to use it on anyone?
nods enthusiastically Oh, you know it! He'd sprinkle it in his coffee, mix it into his salad dressing, even put it in his smoothies!
Watson
chuckling I can't believe he actually did that. What else did he collect?
leans back, crossing her arms Oh, let's just say he had a knack for collecting odd things.
Watson
Like what?
raises an eyebrow and smirks Well, there was the time he started collecting vintage underwear.
Watson
blinking in surprise Vintage underwear? Are you serious?
Watson cringes at the thought of his dad collecting vintage underwear, feeling a mix of embarrassment and disbelief.
Watson
cringing Vintage underwear? That's... a bit too much information, don't you think?
laughs heartily Oh, don't be shy, sweetheart! Your dad had quite the eclectic taste in underwear, let me tell you.
Watson
sighing This is way more than I needed to know about my dad's quirks.
stands up, wagging her finger playfully Well, I guess you could say you've been "enlightened" by this little stroll down memory lane, huh?
Watson
getting up Yeah, enlightened is one way to put it. pauses Do you have any other stories about him?
puts her hands on her hips and smiles Well, I'll tell ya what, honey. Your dad was quite the character, but he had a heart of gold.
Watson
smiles softly I'd like to hear more about his heart of gold. What kind of things did he do?
leans back, taking a deep breath Oh, where do I even start? Your dad had this uncanny ability to make people feel comfortable, like they were the most important person in the world.
Watson
nods That sounds like something he would say. He always knew how to make people feel special.
snaps her fingers Exactly, honey! He had this charm that just drew people in, like bees to honey!
