Written on February 2, 2009 at 12:04 pm, by Amelia

SCENE: THE WREN’S NEST OFFICE, POST-STORYTELLING

(FATHER and YOUNG SON have been chatting with AMELIA and LAIN about Song of the South and their tour.  FATHER and YOUNG SON prepare to leave.)

FATHER: (to YOUNG SON) Say thank you and goodbye!

YOUNG SON: Thank you!

FATHER: (gestures towards AMELIA) And don’t forget Miss Amelia!

YOUNG SON: (maintains his gaze on LAIN, speaks quietly) Thank you, Miss eemererrahh.

FATHER: (points at AMELIA)  No, no!  Her!

YOUNG SON: (terrified wide eyes) —–

Flawless!   But seriously, do people have children for any reason other than to laugh at them?

    yes, to laugh with them.

  2. Laurie says:

    Nope! And, you are pretty scary!

  3. Jodi says:

    was your hair curly or straight?

  4. Amelia says:

    It’s true that children hate me with straight hair.

    But it was curly! He had probably never seen a mane so luxurious, and it stunned him into silence.
