Dialogue
 

Buddy: Dad, it’s amazing! I found the Christmas decorations box, and guess what? It had tinsel! I’ve been putting it everywhere!
 

Dad: Buddy, you’ve turned the living room into a glitter bomb.
 

Buddy: (excitedly) That’s the point, Dad! Christmas is supposed to SPARKLE! (throws tinsel in the air dramatically)

Dad: (trying to stay calm) Buddy, we talked about boundaries. No more glitter. And seriously, how did you manage to tape the stockings to the ceiling?
 

Buddy: Oh, that’s easy! I used gum!
 

Dad: (facepalms) Sighs...
 

Buddy: (grinning) So, what’s next? Gingerbread house? Hot cocoa? Building a snowman INSIDE?
