Billy’s Plan to Cheer Up Dad

Hey, guess what? My dad’s got a super big problem, and I’m gonna tell ya all about it! My name’s Billy, and I’m 8 years old.
Right now, my dad is super sad ‘cause he lost his job. Yup, no more going to the office! He sits on the couch looking like a rainy cloud, all gloomy and quiet. It makes me wanna cry too! He says he’s stressed, and I see him staring at boring papers all day. It’s like he’s fighting a giant dragon made of bills and worries!
But wait, I’ve got a plan to cheer him up! I’m gonna be his superhero helper!
First, I’ll draw him funny pictures of us as pirates sailing on a cookie ship—arr, matey! That’ll make him laugh!
Then, I’ll help him build a fort with blankets in the living room. We can hide from that mean dragon together!
And guess what? I’ll give him my piggy bank coins to buy ice cream. Ice cream fixes everything, right? Plus, I’ve heard that kids can help families during times like this by providing emotional support and distraction!
