Scene #1
Setting:
In the car in the parking lot of Walmart.  Car and A/C is turned off, we are sweltering and yet going over the expected rules of behavior before we enter the store.  (actually you really don't need to behave in Walmart but I see it as good practice for the kids none-the-less)
Characters:
Tyler
Lauren
Mommy (Me)
Me:  [threatening]  If you two don't behave in the store and listen to me then that means you are tired and you will both take a nap when we get home.
Tyler:  [wisely] (silent)
Lauren:  I know you say that but even if we are naughty then you will forget and we still won't take a nap.
Me: [in my head]  Oh yeah, little girl?!?!... [still in my head]  goodness sake she's probably right.
Scene #2
Setting:
I'm in the kitchen making up pizza dough.
Tyler and Lauren are in the playroom.
Characters:
Tyler
Mommy (me)
Tyler:  (yelling from the playroom)  Mommy, will you go upstairs please?
Me:  [curious]  Why do you want me to go upstairs?
Tyler:  [adamant]  I just want you to go upstairs for a long time.
Me:  [quite curious indeed]  What are you going to do?
Tyler:  [matter-of-fact]  I just want to knock this down (pointing to his Market Playhouse that I told him not to knock down.)
I Love These Clever Kids!!
The End.
