Cast of Characters:
Act I
Enchanted Middle Child: ... remember when we went to the fair?
Professional Auntie: Yesterday?
EMC: Yeah. Remember the rides?
PA: Yes.
EMC (wistful, awash in memory): That was fun.
Act II
Tattooed Eldest: Here's a little story that would have been really bad if I was on a bike. Once when I was going to the car when I was coming back from Burger King and I was in Crocs and once I took a wipeout--
PA: While you were walking?
TE: Yeah. (Describes dramatic wipeout and resulting injuries)
PA: (Notes that he is wearing Crocs): So would you say you still wear Crocs because they're fun and easy?
TE: Yes, but not when it's like very dark and wet.
PA: Cause you could slip?
TE: Yeah. (Nods, serious). You could slip.
Act III
The Youngster runs in from stage left, breathless and excitable, wearing a long black cape, a Spider Man mask, brandishing a play sword. He is talking a mile a minute, though not one word is intelligible. He looks to PA expectantly.
PA: ... That's fine.
TY runs off stage right.
Act III
The End
