The Broken Windshield and My Baby Looks Like Alfie Allen

I remember being on the top floor of a department store and waiting in a queue to what looked like the store restaurant. There were two people at the front of the queue directing and one of them looked like Mr Rumbold from Are You Being Seved? I don't remember what we were waiting in the queue for but I do remember drinking out a can of ginger (fizzy pop to Englishers, soda to Yanks) and saying "this doesn't have any alcohol in it". In another scene I am out in the street playing some weird game that involves someone rolling a ball (⚽ not 🏉) along the ground from the pavement (sidewalk) and someone else taking a big run up to it then launching it as far as they could kick it. This young kid hoofs the ball towards an oncoming car and it smashes the window. The scene then immediately changes and it is my car that the wee bastard has fucked so I am off round to chap his parents' door. I am let into this house on the corner of the street and am taken into the front room. I stand at the back of the room behind a sofa which faces the front window. I talk with the father whilst the mother shouts upstairs to get the kid down. I am talking with the father when the kid walks in and he looks a bit sheepish. The father then asks me my name so he can tell his son who he is apologising to. When I tell him he says "yeah I remember you, you were wanting decking done last summer, what happened to that?". I then remember him and see his work van outside in the street. However his van has my surname on it, it's a white van with red livery. I didn't want to tell this guy that I've went with someone else because he was cheaper. So I tell him that because of coronavirus I put it on hold. I then realise that no one had heard of coronavirus last year but I've said it now and leave it at that. I can see he knows I am talking shite but he doesn't say anything. I then remember something about a guy coming to the same house to fix my car and it cost £80. I then found out that I could get it done on my insurance without it affecting my premium. Therefore I didn't need to take it any further with the kid's parents. In the last scene I am with my dad and a young boy (barely toddling). The boy runs up to my dad who picks him up to cuddle him but he can't hold him properly as he picked him up awkwardly so he puts the boy down again. He then runs to me and I pick him up. The boy faces me for the first time. He has thick ginger curly hair and looks like Alfie Allen (from Game of Thrones and Jojo Rabbit).
