everyday comedy: a monday mission

Scene: A slightly cluttered apartment, decorated with baby swing, stuffed animals, board books, and teething rings. A group of four (Baby Boy, Baby Boy's Mom, Toddler Girl, and Toddler Girl's Mom) prepare to go upstairs to another apartment for dinner.

Baby Boy's Mom: Sorry I'm not all ready; I just have to finish packing the diaper bag.

Toddler Girl's Mom: Oh, you're fine! I remember these days. Do you need any help?

Toddler Girl: We go my house for dinner!

Baby Boy's Mom: Yes, we're going to your house for dinner. [to Toddler Girl's Mom] No, I think I've got it, just have to put everything into the bag.

Baby Boy's Mom puts various bibs, burp cloths, bottles, and diapers into a diaper bag. Baby Boy makes various baby noises. Toddler Girl giggles.

Baby Boy's Mom: Okay, I think that's it, we just have to carry everything upstairs now.

Toddler Girl's Mom: [picks up a bag and a pan] I'll take this.

Toddler Girl: [walks over to Baby Boy, puts her arms around him] I'll take this.

Much laughter...

Today's Monday Mission, hosted by Painted Maypole, is to write a post in the form of a script/dialog. This actually did happen last week; we couldn't stop laughing about that one. The toddler girl was so sure she was going to carry the Little Mister upstairs! I asked her to help by carrying a burp cloth instead. She was satisfied. :)

  4. Cute script. I love the picture of him with the stuffed toys. Are you doing a new one regularly to mark his growth? Might I recommend doing so, if you aren't already? I have pics of my kids each year by the same stuffed animals... it's AMAZING to see the difference!

  7. She sounds like The Baby, who is certain that all small babies belong to her.
