Billy's Bold Choices

mydaddyblog

A young boy, Billy, with short brown hair and bright eyes, is standing in a cheerful living room, holding a colorful dress and looking at his father.
Billy: Daddy, can I wear this dress to school?
Billy is wearing a colorful dress. Billy's father, a tall man with a kind face and short blonde hair, is sitting on the couch, looking concerned and thoughtful, glancing at the dress. Daddy is holding a giant oversized chocolate bar. Billy is smiling.
Daddy: I'm not sure, Billy. Some kids might not understand. Would you like some chocolate?
Billy stands in front of a mirror, holding a pair of earrings with a determined expression, trying to imagine how he would look wearing them.
Billy: These earrings are so pretty!
Billy and Daddy are sitting on the couch. Daddy tries to smile reassuringly but looks a bit nervous. Daddy is holding an ice cream cone.
Daddy: Uh... How about some ice cream instead?
Billy: Thanks, Daddy! I love all the sweets you've been giving me.
Three months later, Billy, now noticeably chubbier, is standing in a school hallway. A group of kids are pointing and laughing at him. Billy looks sad and embarrassed.
*3 months later*
Kid 1: Look at Billy, he's so fat now!
Kid 2: Yeah, he can't even fit in those dresses anymore!

The Mysterious Alert Failure

A frustrated manager, with a red face and furrowed brows, stands in an office room filled with computer screens displaying error messages. He's wearing a suit and tie, and his hair is slightly disheveled. The clock on the wall shows late afternoon.
Manager: How did I not get an alert when the website went down?
A group of engineers, diverse in appearance with different hairstyles and casual tech attire, gather around a conference table. They have laptops open and are discussing excitedly. One engineer, a woman with curly hair and glasses, is holding a tablet showing high-tech monitor options.
Engineer 1: We can add AI-based predictive monitoring!
Engineer 2: Or add a 24/7 on-call support team!
An engineer, the woman with curly hair and glasses, looks curiously at the manager who is sitting at the conference table. The manager has a sheepish expression, hinting at a confession.
Engineer 1: Wait, what were you doing when the alert was missed?
The manager is pictured sitting in a dark movie theater with a bucket of popcorn in his lap, looking at his phone with a silenced mode icon visible. The screen shows a movie playing in the background.
Manager: I was at the movies with my phone silenced.
