MUM: Where's Chris and Julie? There's something I need to talk to you all about.
YASMEEN: (Holding stomach and groaning.) I hope it's about what's for lunch: I'm starving!
LORENZO: I saw Chris sitting on top of the birdcage doing his homework.
MUM: (Staring towards left.) Er, Chris what do you think you are doing?
CHRIS (OFF-STAGE): Miss Studywell said that for homework we should write two pages on our favourite pet.
MUM: I think she meant that the subject of the homework should be about your favourite pet.
(Enter CHRIS sheepishly.)
CHRIS: I knew that. (Pause.) Should I tell Julie to get off the dog kennel?
YASMEEN: Forget her, just get me some food: popcorn, crisps, anything.
MUM: Come on, Julie! There's something very important we need to discuss.

LORENZO: Aghh! You said you'd never tell anyone. I'm so embarrassed.
MUM: Um, thanks for telling me. It's not about that.
(Chris nervously puts hand up.)
MUM: Yes, Chris?
CHRIS: I never meant for Julie's favourite Barbie to get destroyed: the parachute I tied on Barbie's back didn't open as planned when I threw it from the tree house and then Bingo decided to chew the Barbie and bury it like a bone. Sorry, Julie.
JULIE: Eek! My Barbie.
(Yasmeen and Lorenzo nervously put hands up.)
MUM: Hold it everyone! This is about something completely different. ... cont'd
