Summary
A boy is absorbed in a video game when his mom comes home late. She apologizes and encourages him to let in some sunshine. While taking a work call, she asks him to pause the game and open his present.
At first, he’s delighted: “Whoa! Cool!” But his excitement quickly turns to disbelief, followed by “Get lost!” Then something changes. He calls to his mom, “We’ll be outside!” The short ends on a cheerful shift from gaming indoors to heading out together.
