camp morning

Scene: Kitchen and bedroom

Mom (packing lunch): Honey, what do you want in your lunch today?  Do you want half a bagel with tofutti cream cheese?  How about a slice of ham in there?  I'm giving you the rest of the mango for your fruit, does that sound good?  Are you dressed yet?  I need to get you sunscreened.  And your teeth,  don't forget to brush your teeth.  (pause for wrapping and packing)  Are you dressed yet, Sweetie?  You need to get started on your teeth.  And what about your sandwich, what's your choice?
(silence) Hon, did you hear me? (moving to bedroom) What's your choice?  Bagel with tofutti with ham or no ham? (pause) Excuse me, are you listening to me? What do you want for your sandwich?

(kid looks at Mom)

Kid: What?
