Dad: Kids, you have to hear this!
Daughter: Just a moment, Dad!
Son: Are we still getting that weed trimmer?
Daughter: We should aim for something more special for him this year, don’t you think?
Son: Let’s hear what Dad wants to play.
[Silence]
Daughter: What if we restored his old guitar?
Son: The one he played back in college? That thing is ancient.
Mom: He often talks about wanting to play it again, about dusting it off.
Son: That’s true.
Daughter: Okay, I have an idea. I’ll set up a separate account specifically for family projects, and we can all contribute what we can.
Son: Wait, you can actually do that?
Mom: That sounds like a fantastic idea.
Daughter: Great! Are you in? Ready to send your share?
Son: Definitely, if it’s that easy, I’ll send money right now.
Daughter: Perfect. I’ll text you the last four digits of the new account as soon as it’s set up. And let’s include Grandma too.
Son: Sounds good.
Father’s friend: Wow, I haven’t seen this guitar since our last tour!
Daughter: Do you think it’s possible to fix it up?
Father’s friend: With a bit of luck, absolutely. I’ll text you the number of a great repair shop I know.
Daughter: Thanks, Macon!
Father’s friend: Of course! Say, are you on Zelle? I can send a contribution right now.
Daughter: Yes, it’s linked to my phone number.
Father’s friend: Awesome, money’s on its way!
Daughter: This is so exciting!

Dad: Letter from Grandma came.
Daughter: Oh, thanks.
Dad: How’s that research project coming along?
Daughter: It’s going well.
Dad: Alright.
[Music over muted voices]
Daughter: [Laughs] I hope so too.
Daughter: Happy birthday, Dad!
Dad: You got me!
Son: Let’s see what you got, old man!
Dad: Alright!

Mom: I remember this song!
Dad: [Laughs]
Son: There we go!
