Mum:
(Sharply)
βI
donβt know why you had to take so long, I waited half an hour!β
Naomi:
(Disappointedly)
βThey didnβt have my size on the shelf, and the woman took ages
searching in the stock room.β
Mum:
(Peevishly)
βWe wouldnβt have got stuck
in all this traffic if youβd just made your mind up quicker. We wonβt be
eating tea until late at this rate. Today of all days! Whatβs wrong with the mobile phone I spent a
fortune on? You could have called me. I wouldnβt have rushed away
from work to get there if youβd calledβ.
Naomi:
βI
forgot to charge it, the batteryβs dead,β
Mum:
(Accusingly)
. βMore like you wasted it playing stupid games!β
Naomi:
(Apologetically)
βSorryβ
Mum:
(Angrily)
βOh, thatβs just brilliant! No lights on. It must be a power cut. How am I going to
cook with no electricity?β
Naomi:
(Generously)
βMaybe we can have a sandwich? Iβll make it if you like.β
Mum:
(Quietly)
βSsh! Did you hear
that?β
Naomi:
(Suspciously)
βWhat? Stop it,
youβre freaking me out. You know Iβve always thought this house is
haunted.β
Mum:
(Quietly)
βIβm sure I heard something in the living room, pass me that brolly, Iβm going to have a lookβ.
Dad + Paul + Group of Friends:
(Surprisingly)
βSurprise!β
Naomi:
(Joyfully)
βHappy Birthday, Mum! Sorry about the trick, but I had to keep you out of the house βtil
everyone got here!β
