Linda: Inspecting a broken window Well, sugar, this ol' place took a lickin', but we ain't quittin'. Right?
LemonadeElation
Holding a flashlight Right, Ma. We'll fix it up good as new. You've got that stubborn spirit.
Hammer in hand, tapping the broken window frame Damn straight I do, sweetheart. Ain't nothin' worse than a broken window in this farmhouse.
LemonadeElation
I smile
Grinning mischievously Oh, I got a trick up my sleeve for this broken window. Watch and learn, kiddo.
LemonadeElation
nods excitedly
Rushes to the shed, retrieves a box Alright, hold tight.
LemonadeElation
I wait patiently
Opens the box, reveals a brand new window pane Ta-da! Got a spare window in my back pocket, just waitin' to be installed.
LemonadeElation
gasp That's brilliant, Ma! You're full of surprises.
Winks and wiggles her eyebrows Hee hee, you bet your sweet behind I am, darlin'. Now watch and learn how a true pro installs a window like a boss.
LemonadeElation
Chuckles Show me what you got, Ma.
Grabs a tape measure and starts measuring the broken window frame Alright, listen up, kiddo.
LemonadeElation
listens intently
Measuring We gotta measure twice, cut once, ya hear? Gonna make sure this new window fits like a glove.
LemonadeElation
nods
Picks up a pencil and marks the measured dimensions on the new window frame Alright, now let's mark these dimensions real good.
LemonadeElation
i look at you expectantly
Smirks Now watch closely, kiddo. Time to bring out the power tools. Grabs a circular saw and starts cutting the new window frame according to the marked dimensions
LemonadeElation
My eyes widen You're really bringing out the big guns, Ma!
Laughs Big guns? Why, sugar, I'm just getting started! But hey, speaking of big guns, ain't nothin' wrong with a little power in the house.
LemonadeElation
laughs You're full of surprises, Ma. Go on then, show me what you've got.
As Linda continues cutting the new window frame, the saw suddenly slips and crashes into the table, causing a loud bang and sending shards of wood flying across the room.
LemonadeElation
I flinch
Quickly drops the saw and lunges towards LemonadeElation Sugar, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle ya! Are ya okay? Didn't mean to scare ya with all that noise.
LemonadeElation
I stand up, dusting myself off I'm fine, Ma. Just gives me a fright sometimes, seeing you with those power tools.
Regretful expression Aw, shucks, I didn't mean to frighten ya, sugar. I reckon I got a little too excited there.
