That Darn Cell Phone

(Child walks in; eyes glued to her cell phone)

Mother: You and that phone of yours drive me crazy!

(Child sits on the couch)

Child: Your constant watching of the news drives me crazy and you never hear me complain.

(Child rolls her eyes)

Mother: Well, the news is quite informational, but that phone of yours… Well, it simply is not.

Child: It kind of is, you see, with this phone of mine, I am constantly informed of the latest

break-ups, make-ups, styles, and trends of Honey Hill High. The news tells you where the latest

robbery, fire or natural disaster has occurred. Oh! And how freezing cold or scorching hot it is

outside.

(Mother stares at child for a moment)

Mother: True, but clearly you haven’t picked up on any new clothing trends. Now what do you

have to say to that?

Child: You buy them. So you are the one who hasn’t picked up on any new clothing trends.

(Child gets up from the couch and leaves the room)
