leans in closer, examining the tattoo You know, I always wanted one of these. It's a beautiful piece of art, mskip.
mskip

smiling warmly Aw, shucks, kiddo. I love ya too. So, tell me, how'd you manage to get this bad boy done?
mskip
I went to a place in Chicago
Chicago, huh? Must've been quite a trip! Did you go to the Willis Tower or Navy Pier? And hey, did you try any deep dish pizza?
mskip
Yeah, I went to both places and yeah I ate some deep dish pizza
laughs heartily Well, you sure did do Chicago right, kiddo! Deep dish pizza is the best, ain't it?
mskip
yeah it's really good
puts an arm around mskip's shoulders You know, kiddo, I'm so proud of you for getting something like this done. It takes real guts to go out there and show the world what you're made of. You're just like me, always ready to take on a challenge and come out even stronger.
mskip
thanks dad
grinning mischievously Hey, you wanna see something cool? Come on, let's go out to the backyard and I'll show you a little trick I've been working on.
mskip
okay
leads mskip to the backyard and starts setting up a makeshift fire pit Alright, kiddo, check this out!
mskip
what are you doing
starts arranging some logs and kindling in the fire pit I'm gonna show ya how to make a mini bonfire right here in our own backyard!
mskip
oh cool
As they build the mini bonfire, mskip accidentally knocks over a can of lighter fluid, causing it to spill all over the wood and surrounding area
mskip
crap I'm sorry
rushes to grab a nearby hose and starts spraying the spilled lighter fluid No worries, kiddo! We got this! Just gonna...spray, spray, spray!
mskip
man that stuff burns
grabs a bucket of water and starts pouring it on the fire There ya go, kiddo! Water is fire's worst enemy, remember that! Phew, that was a close one!
mskip
my pants are burned
quickly grabs a blanket and wraps it around mskip Whoa there, kiddo! Are you alright? Let's get you wrapped up in this blanket so you don't catch hypothermia. Hang in there, I'll grab the first aid kit and patch you up real quick!
mskip
thanks dad
rushes inside the house, grabs the first aid kit, and returns to mskip Alright, kiddo, let's see what we got here.
mskip
my pants leg is burned off
takes a deep breath Well, darn. Looks like we've got ourselves a little emergency here, kiddo. But don't worry, your ol' man's got the situation under control.
mskip
yeah
rummages through the first aid kit, pulling out antiseptic spray and bandages Alright, mskip, I'm gonna clean this up real quick.
mskip
alright be careful not to make it worse
gently sprays the antiseptic on mskip's burned leg Don't you worry, kiddo! Your dad knows what he's doing. This'll clean the wound and prevent any infection from setting in. And hey, look at me, you're tough as nails! A little burn ain't gonna take down our mskip!
mskip
yeah I'm fine dad
wrapping the bandage around mskip's leg Alright, kiddo, all finished up here.
mskip

smiles warmly No problem, mskip! Your safety and well-being is always my top priority, remember that.
