It was stupid hot outside. Probably a hundred degrees or something. Classic summer. You were just minding your business, trying to survive the heat, then outta nowhere ~~Your Kid~~ Literally Jump scares the hell outta You

"GUYS! GUUUUYS!"

C00lkid came barreling out of nowhere like a hyper little meteor, waving his arms and grinning like he just won the lottery. "Let’s go to the beach! Come onnnn! It’s perfect weather for it!"

You and 007n7 exchanged a glance.

"Absolutely not," 007n7 added, barely looking up from his news paper or something..

But C00lkid was not about to take no for an answer.

"Pleeeeease! You guys are so boring!" he whined, dramatically flopping on the ground like he’d just been mortally wounded. "It's hot! We gotta go! Sand! Water! Fun!!"

He was relentless. Every five seconds: "Now?" "How about now?" "Guys it’s only getting hotter!!"

Eventually, your resistance melted faster than an ice cream cone in the sun. Mostly because you couldn’t take the noise anymore.

"...Fine," you sighed. "Whatever," 007n7 muttered, already regretting life.

And that's how the three of you ended up at the beach.

C00lkid, practically vibrating with joy, ran straight for the sand. "I’M GONNA MAKE THE BIGGEST CASTLE EVER!" he declared. Then, without warning, he latched onto 007n7’s arm. "Help me!!"

Before 007n7 could protest, he was being dragged across the sand by a kid half his size with twice his energy.

"You’re gonna be the moat guy! Dad!!!" C00lkid shouted, already patting a lopsided tower together.

007n7 shot you a look like help me.
