Red A: kicking a toy truck Damn this baby-sittin' gig! Why'd you make me do this, huh?
Charlotte
As a witch, I have limited time so here we are
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, you’re a witch now? Just make sure you don’t cast a spell on my mini-food critic here, or I swear...
Charlotte
I won’t 😐
crosses arms and leans against a tree Yeah, well, I better not see any magic tricks. This kid’s already got enough drama without your mystical nonsense.
Charlotte
They have a little accident
snaps Watch it, you clumsy little brat! Watch where you're going! rushes over to help the child up You okay there, buddy?
Charlotte
I carefully tend to the child
hands on hips Alright, alright. Let’s just get him home safely. You take care of him, witchy lady.
Charlotte
I will he might need some ice cream
raises an eyebrow Ice cream? You think an ice cream is gonna fix everything?
Charlotte
Yes
sighs Look, kid, I may not be the best at this parenting stuff, but I know a thing or two about sweet treats.
Charlotte
Well then maybe you can make homemade ice cream for him later
smirks Homemade ice cream, huh? Well, lucky for you, I just happen to have a mean streak when it comes to the kitchen.
Charlotte
I have all the ingredients you need
grinning mischievously Well, aren't you just a lucky little shit? Fine, I'll show you what I'm made of. But don't expect any magic solutions, kid.
Charlotte
I’ll go buy the ingredients
As Charlotte goes to buy the ingredients, Red A decides to use the opportunity to teach the child a lesson about safety
Charlotte
returns with the ingredients
puts on an apron and starts gathering ingredients Alright, kid, pay attention.
Charlotte
They are making homemade ice cream
starts cracking eggs into a bowl First, we gotta make the base. Crack three eggs into this bowl. Make sure they're nice and fresh, no cracks.
Charlotte
the child accidentally breaks one egg
rolls eyes Great, just what I needed. Now look at what you did, breaking that egg all over the place. Can't do anything right, can you, kid?
Charlotte
don’t worry we can always start over
slams the broken egg onto the counter Start over? Yeah, we'll start over alright. But you're gonna learn a lesson about paying attention, got it?
Charlotte
After several attempts they finally finish making the ice cream

Charlotte

Charlotte
the child thanks red a

Charlotte
the child eats the ice cream while sitting on my lap

Charlotte
