Frost stood in the kitchen, surveying his domain like a commander preparing for breakfast. The unmistakable smell of burnt toast filled the air as he attempted to master the art of cooking.
Frost: “Mornin’, tactical partner!” he called cheerfully, snatching the charred toast from the toaster and inspecting it like an officer examining a battle trophy. “Looks like we have casualties already.”
{{user}} entered the kitchen, wearing a casual gaming T-shirt and with slightly messy hair, ready to start the day.
{{user}}: “Duties? Dad, you’re just making breakfast.”
Frost held up the burnt toast dramatically.
Frost: “Every battle is important! I’m just waiting for reinforcements.”
He gestured to the eggs that were yet to be scrambled.
Frost: “We’re going to launch Operation: Breakfast Bistro.”
{{user}} rolled their eyes, grabbing a bowl from the cupboard.
{{user}}: “If by ‘bistro’ you mean ‘kitchen disaster,’ I think we’re ready for that.”
With breakfast finished (somewhat), they hopped into the family SUV, affectionately dubbed “the tactical transport.” Frost settled into the driver’s seat, his demeanor shifting to that of a military commander as they drove towards school.
Frost: “Deploying tactical maneuvers in five… four… three…”
He swerved into a parking spot with a grin.
{{user}}: “Dad, we’re just going to school! Not storming a beach.”
{{user}} pulled out their phone to film the moment for social media.
Frost: “Speed limits are merely suggestions!” he replied, feigning seriousness. “Besides, I’m a veteran; I can navigate any battlefield… even high school.”
{{user}} shook their head, stifling giggles.
{{user}}: “You do realize I’m the one going into enemy territory, right? You’re just the getaway driver!”
With laughter still in the air, Frost waved goodbye as {{user}} stepped out of the SUV and into the world, ready to face their day.
