CAST:           2 CUBS

                OTHER CHILDREN (in the family)

SETTING:        2 boys playing Nintendo

1ST CUB:        Clarence, I hear something. Is it raining?

2ND CUB:        Sure is,

1ST CUB:        When you came over there wasn’t a cloud in the sky.

2ND CUB:        Sure wasn’t

1ST CUB:        Wow! Look out the window! It’s raining cats and dogs!

2ND CUB:        Sure is.

MOTHER:         Clarence, I can’t let you go home in this storm. You’ll catch your death of cold.

1ST CUB:        Mom, can Clarence sleepover? Huh, can he? Please?

MOTHER:         Sure he can. But you come upstairs with me first and get your room straightened up.

(Mother and 1st Cub leave to go upstairs talking between themselves. Clarence leaves in
another direction. Mother comes back and calls for Clarence.)

Mother:         Clarence, I’ve got your bed ready ... Clarence? Clarence, Where are you?
                (Clarence comes in dripping wet)
                Clarence! You’re soaking wet! Where have you been?”

2ND CUB:        (panting) I ran home … to get … my pajamas.
