We draw what we know, kid. We draw what we know.

20061127_0002
The scene unfolds while the family awaits the delivery of a free pizza, "purchased" with twenty coupons collected over many months of sacrificial consumption. The mommy washes dishes in the kitchen. Behind her, the daddy sits on a chair, watching the small child concentrate as he makes a chalk drawing on his easel.


Daddy: What are you drawing?


Lil E: Dis is Daddy. (Making  a sweeping circular shape)


Daddy: Ohhhh.


Lil E:  (Quickly tapping out dots in the opposite corner) And dis is da potty.  Ha ha! Daddy is sitting on the potty!


Daddy:  Great.


Mommy laughs out loud, Lil E doubles over in silent super-fakey "for the audience" laugh and Daddy joins in on the good fun.

Annnnnd, scene.
