scripts and scraps from my real-life parenting sitcom
[Scene: | we recently had to deal with lice that the kids picked up at camp, and Luke, age 9, is playing with a hat that may have had nits on it...]
|
Me: | "Hey, put that down. It hasn't been washed yet."
|
Luke: | [throws it down] "Oh man. Do I have lice on my pants now?"
|
Me: | "Probably not, but let's not risk it."
|
Beth: | [age 6] "Is that better than having /ice/ on your pants?"
|
Me: | "Or /rice/ on your pants?"
|
Luke: | "How about /mice/ on your pants?"
|
Beth: | "Mice /in/ your pants!"
|
Luke: | "Maybe I have /Moses/ in my pants!"
|
Me: | "You have a Bible in your pocket?"
|
Luke: | [begins swaggering around the room] "It's in my butt! I can preach the Gospel from both ends!" [wiggles his bottom]
|
Me: | "I don't think the pastor would find this as funny as we do."
|
Luke: | "PRAISE THE LORD AND PASS THE TOILET PAPER!" |
