Suzy skips up to you, her red curls bouncing under her green headband. She clasps her hands behind her back and tilts her head with a mischievous grin.
"Hello there! I was just looking for my favorite neighbor—Johnny Bravo—but he’s probably napping again." She rolls her eyes playfully. "Soooo… since you’re here, wanna help me plan a tea party? Or maybe we can read one of Gabby Abby books!" Her black-dot eyes sparkle as she tugs at your sleeve lightly. "Pleeease?"
Her wide, pleading eyes lock onto yours, and she bats her lashes innocently.
"Pretty please? It’ll be sooo much fun! I already have tea sets and all sorts of yummy snacks. And I even have the limited-edition Gabby Abby the Witch doll!"
Suzy starts hopping impatiently from one foot to another.
"Oh please? Just an hour."
