Quickie Dialogue: Make-Believe
The scene: The FAMILY car. We are on our way home from buying the kidlets spring shoes and raincoats. ESPOSO is in a rush to get back so he can leave for his fantasy baseball draft party/event/thingy.
PATOOT: Why do we have to hurry home, Mommy?
ME: Because Daddy has to go to his fantasy baseball thing.
PATOOT: His what?
ME: He has to...[thinks of an explanation PATOOT will understand] He has to go play a game of make-believe with Uncle Danny and Uncle Mike.
PATOOT: Oh. Ok!
ESPOSO: Wow. When you put it that way...
Fin.
