Two Vignettes

Scene 1: Mommy getting Jack from his crib first thing in the morning. Jack: Jack's sad. Mommy: Jack, why are you sad? Jack: I went boom. Mommy: Oh, I'm so sorry. Jack where does it hurt? Long pause... Jack: Kiss? Mommy: Where should I kiss? Jack points to his mouth. Mommy kisses it and all is well. Scene 2: Father's Day/Early morning. Mommy and Jack have just rehearsed saying "Happy Father's Day" and enter quietly into the bedroom to wake up Daddy with a card and gift. Jack runs over to Daddy's side of the bed. Mommy: Jack, remember? Happy... Long pause... Jack: Happy... Birthday?! Mommy: Jack, give Daddy a kiss. Jack leans over, gives Daddy a hug and kiss and then starts talking very quitely next to Matt's head. After a minute, Jack says... Jack: Amen. Not bad. Who wouldn't want to wake up to Happy Birthday, a hug and kiss, AND a prayer?
