This is the dude who runs our Accounts Payable department.
[id: a toddler stands on a box next to a desk. (an adult’s arms are in frame, occasionally darting in to offer support, as the baby isn’t super stable.) The adult rings the desk phone from their mobile, and the baby waggles their arms excitedly and picks it up.
Baby babbles into the phone, in the unintelligible manner of a child who is vocalizing, but not yet speaking, but their tone is copied from hearing their parents, as it rises and falls conversationally. They dance happily and almost fall over. They catch their balance, and look at the out of frame adult with pride, hand over the receiver, as if to block their parent’s laughter from the line. They speak a few more ‘words’ before face-palming exaggeratedly.
Their tone turns more genial, and they turn and rest an elbow on a nearby shelf. They chatter for moment, before arching over backwards and taking on a more ‘good ol’ boys talking over the cooler’ type tone.
They over the receiver once more and turn to look at the adult of of frame, with the expression of a small child who has Done A Thing and checking their parent’s face to make sure it was appreciated. end id]
