Slapsticks

The Scene: Dark living room, television on, middle of the day
The Characters: Boots, Rachel, and Frank
And......action!

(Frank walks through the living room, down the hall.)

Boots: What's he got?
Rachel: (barely looking up from her iPad) A toy.
Boots: When did you buy toys?
Rachel: A while back.
Boots: Squeaky toys?

(Cue Frank, dropping the "toy", "toy" runs across living room floor, Rachel screams and jumps on the couch, Boots clicks on the light revealing a chipmunk)

Boots: Hahahahaha! Where did he get a chipmunk? Hahahahaha!!!
Rachel: HOW DID A CHIPMUNK GET IN OUR HOUSE!!!!!! MUWHAAAA!!!!!!
Boots: Hahahahaha!!!

(Frank chases chipmunk in circles in living room, Boots throws blanket over chipmunk while continuing to laugh maniacally.)

Rachel: OK OK OK OK OK! I'LL OPEN THE DOOR AND YOU THROW THE BLANKET OUTSIDE!!!

(Rachel struggles to catch Frank who in turn thanks her with a scratch on the neck.)

(Boots throws the blanket out the door and slams it.)

Rachel: HOW DID A CHIPMUNK GET IN THE HOUSE?

(Rachel walks around, looking for obvious chipmunk sized holes that mysteriously appeared.)

Rachel: I LEFT THE BACK DOOR OPEN!! NIKKI!!!!

(Cue cricket sounds in the middle of day, no Nikki.)

(Frank runs out the gaping back door, probably to catch another chipmunk.)

Rachel: FRANK!!! COME BACK!!!

(Frank hunkers down obligingly, Rachel scoops him back up, all the while screaming for Nikki who has been inside hiding the whole time.)





The neighbors think we're idiots.
