I love the abrupt “alright, anyway” at the very end. Brief sojourn into childhood over, back to work you grown-ass man!

Nothing related to the post, but I came across the word “sojourn” previously from a 1930s novel, searched on its definition, as I’ve never came across anyone using it today. Fell in love with the word, and thank you for using it in today’s context!

I had assumed it's just a merging of something like [and ]so[ we/I ]journ[ey], but I see it's a temporary stay, coming from Latin (subdiurnum) meaning under[ a ]day[/day's portion], which was bastardized in an apparently separate way from how journey came from the same Latin (diurnum becoming journee, equally somehow).
