Mum:
(Sharply)
“I
don’t know why you had to take so long, I waited half an hour!”
Naomi:
(Disappointedly)
“They didn’t have my size on the shelf, and the woman took ages
searching in the stock room.”
Mum:
(Peevishly)
“We wouldn’t have got stuck
in all this traffic if you’d just made your mind up quicker. We won’t be
eating tea until late at this rate. Today of all days! What’s wrong with the mobile phone I spent a
fortune on? You could have called me. I wouldn’t have rushed away
from work to get there if you’d called”.
Naomi:
“I
forgot to charge it, the battery’s dead,”
Mum:
(Accusingly)
. “More like you wasted it playing stupid games!”
Naomi:
(Apologetically)
“Sorry”
Mum:
(Angrily)
“Oh, that’s just brilliant! No lights on. It must be a power cut. How am I going to
cook with no electricity?”
Naomi:
(Generously)
“Maybe we can have a sandwich? I’ll make it if you like.”
Mum:
(Quietly)
“Ssh! Did you hear
that?”
Naomi:
(Suspciously)
“What? Stop it,
you’re freaking me out. You know I’ve always thought this house is
haunted.”
Mum:
(Quietly)
“I’m sure I heard something in the living room, pass me that brolly, I’m going to have a look”.
Dad + Paul + Group of Friends:
(Surprisingly)
“Surprise!”
Naomi:
(Joyfully)
“Happy Birthday, Mum! Sorry about the trick, but I had to keep you out of the house ‘til
everyone got here!”
