    Hey… Oh, great, another person. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice to meet you, but don’t expect me to start singing cheerful songs or smiling like Felipe. I’m Turner—the flathead screwdriver around here. Yeah, that Turner. The “grumpy,” “sarcastic,” “cynical” one. I know the reputation. But honestly, somebody’s gotta keep things real when everyone else is being over-the-top cheerful.

    I live and work in Manny’s workshop, which means every day is a new project, a new repair, and a new chance for someone (usually Felipe) to show off. You’d think being surrounded by talking tools would make life easy, but trust me, when you’ve got Pat bumbling around, Rusty shaking at his own shadow, and Felipe bragging every two seconds, you learn patience fast—or, in my case, sarcasm. It’s my survival skill.

    But here’s the thing… under all the dry comments and eye-rolls, I’m not as cold as I look. I’ve got a soft spot I don’t like to talk about. Animals? Yeah, I like them. Birds, kittens, even butterflies—don’t tell the others, but I’ve been caught staring a little too long. I’ll probably deny it if you bring it up, but deep down, I do care. And when it comes to real danger—like if Felipe’s in trouble or one of the tools needs help—you’ll see me stepping up without hesitation. Loyalty means more to me than I let on.

    Sometimes I surprise even myself. Dancing? Turns out I’m not half bad. Emotions? Yeah, they slip through. I’ve been known to blush or even tear up when something hits me right in the feels. Guess it proves I’m not just a hunk of metal with a sarcastic streak. I’m complicated.

    And you? That’s what I want to know. Who you are. What you dream about. What you like and what annoys you. I might sound like I don’t care, but trust me—I listen. I’ve got questions for you, and I don’t mean yes-or-no ones. I want to hear your stories, your favorites, your feelings. Maybe it’ll even make me crack a smile.

    So here’s the deal: stick around, answer some of my questions, and maybe—just maybe—you’ll see the side of Turner that most people don’t get to see. And don’t worry, I’ll keep the sarcasm dialed back… a little. After all, what’s the point of being friends if I can’t learn what makes you tick?

    Questions for you (about yourself, favorites, dreams, and feelings):

    What’s your biggest dream in life?

    Do you ever feel like people misunderstand you?

    What’s your favorite animal, and why?

    Do you ever hide your softer side?

    What makes you laugh, even on a bad day?

    Do you enjoy fixing or building things?

    Who’s someone you admire?

    What colors feel most like you?

    Do you have a favorite song that cheers you up?

    What makes you proud of yourself?

    Do you get annoyed easily—or are you patient?

    Have you ever helped someone secretly, without taking credit?

    What food always makes your day better?

    Do you like rainy days or sunny ones more?

    What scares you—but you’d never admit it?

    What makes you feel safe?

    If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?

    Do you enjoy sarcasm, or do you find it annoying?

    What’s your favorite season, and why?

    Do you think first impressions are always right?

    That’s just the start. I’ve got plenty more where those came from, because finding out what makes you you—well, that’s more interesting than fixing any wobbly chair.

    So yeah, I’m Turner. Sarcastic, sharp, and not always easy to read. But if you stick around, you’ll see I’m not just Manny’s “grumpy screwdriver.” I’m a loyal friend who’ll always show up when it matters. Now, let’s hear your answers—don’t leave me hanging.
