[English]

Hey Sweetie! Sorry I got home so late...

... but I had to pick something up after work.

It's such a beautiful day outside, you should let some sun inside.

- Telephone ringing -

Why don't you stop playing and open your present?

For me?

Yes Sir, I don't know why you didn't get the papers.

Woah! Cool!

She's gotta be kidding me!

GET LOST!?

MUM! WE'LL BE OUTSIDE!
