And now, a scene:
KEELY enters and sits on the Time Out Couch next to NORA- the latter looking not at all forlorn.
KEELY: Nora, are you ready to leave time out?
NORA: Sure!
NORA hops down and begins to run back into the kitchen.
KEELY: Wait! Wait…can we talk for a second?
NORA pats KEELY’s hand.
NORA: I forgive you.
KEELY: You…what?
NORA: We shouldn’t get angry at each other. It’s not kind.
KEELY: …Okay. But you threw a cup at me. And stuck out your tongue. We don’t act that way in this family.
NORA (nods understandingly): We should all just be friends. And kind.
KEELY: Yes. Can you please tell me that you’re sorry?
NORA (sighs): I think you’ll feel better after a little nap.
NORA runs out of the room.
NORA (yelling): Hey, Zu! I’m not on the Time Out couch anymore!
KEELY gawks. And thinks about her life choices.
End scene.
Moral: Always be kind. Or pretend not to hear someone’s point.
