"Mornings", an explanation in one act

Jun 24, 2009 13:31

Scene: Upstairs bathroom, 8:15 AM. Shower has just been turned on in the clawfoot tub. Shower curtain is closed. A brief amount of time passes, in which we hear the sounds of someone washing coming from behind the curtain.

Enter Evan (11 year old son)

Evan: Hey, daaaad?
Dad (from behind shower curtain): Yeah?
( the drama unfolds behind the cut )

Yoiks. I don't know if hat makes me want to be a mommy more (for the amusement factor) or less (for the oh-my-gods-how-will-I-keep-from-killing-them? factor). ;P

Reminds me of a babysitting experience once when I was changing in my tent and the older sister came to tell me through the tent wall that her brother wanted to eat a bug. I asked her what kind of bug. She didn't know. I asked her to describe the bug. We determined that it was either a grasshopper or a cricket. By then the bug was et, so I had to describe chocolate covered locust and the eating customs of countries other than the US so that she wouldn't worry about his imminent bug-poisoning-demise.
