Sha-boom-la-boom

(Her)
Oh! I want to be so self indulged.
What you talking about?
You idot!
Now run along?

(Her)
Mama's go-na bake cookies.
Daddy's going to...
Stay home!

(Her)
What you mean I have to go to my room?
Daddy's not going to work!
No cookies for me today?
Now run along!

(Her)
Just wait until I have kids.
I'll stay home.
That's right.
Let them go to work.

(Her)
What you mean I'll starve?
Look!
Me without no baked goods.
Just wait until I get rich
I'll throw you out in the street!

(Her)
You'll make the cookies?
Right after you bury me?
Maybe going to my room,
Isn't such a bad thing.

(Her)
I'll go
But you haven't heard the last of me.
You'll do what with your foot?
All right I'm going!

(Her)
I know what they're up to.
Think I don't know.
Make a little brother.
Give him everything.

(Her)
Children! You let them have a friend over.
And they think they're the adults
It's not my fault.
My daddy raised an idot.

(Her little daughter)
"Mommy wake up!"
"Wake up."
"You dreaming again."

(Her)
Yes it was wonderful.
Your only three?
What happen to your husband?
Oh my god, I have to work.

(Her Husband)
"Relax Sweetheart it's Sunday"
"Oh my god tomorrow I have to work"
"A hole week!"

(Her)
You don't work any more.
Don't you remember?
Your staying home and watch the children.
Isn't life a dream?

This was very interesting dialogue. I was a little confused with the "hers" in the beginning. Liked it!

I really liked this, though I too was a bit confused by all the she's.....I think I got the general gist of it...nicely done.

Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices.

Merlyn, you have one of the most distinct, interesting styles I have ever read. It is certainly difficult to keep up with sometimes, but usually worth the effort!
