Scene: Mia is a five year old girl who is shopping with her mom at a local supermarket. When Mia see's something she wants, she has a full blown temper tantrum until she gets what she wants.
Mia: Mommy, when are we going to hit up the waffle aisle?
(PAUSE)
Mia: (whines) But I LOVE waffles! They are my all-time favorite breakfast, lunch and dinner food! You can't take that away from me!
(PAUSE)
Mia:(scoffs) What do you mean it has too much sugar? Last time I checked, YOU said that if I went to Snotty Tommy's birthday party, that you'd let me pick out whatever I wanted from the grocery store!
(PAUSE)
Mia:(whines) BUT IT'S TRUE! When Snotty Tommy's in class, he likes to pick his boogers and eat them. Maybe even wipe them on a few people sometimes. And when he gets sick (shudders) Ooh don't even get me there! Let's just say half the class ended up with boogers in their hair and on their clothes. I was lucky enough to go to the bathroom and return to see everyone crying because SNOTTY TOMMY doesn't know how to NOT get boogers on everything that breathes.
(PAUSE)
Mia: You may think it's mean, but it's true! Ask anyone who knows the kid! He's a complete disaster! I mean, what type of kid goes around school and terrorizes kids with BOOGERS???
(PAUSE)
Mia:(sighs) Okay, okay. Maybe I am being a little mean, but hey guess what? YOU STILL OWE ME MY WAFFLES AND MY CANDY WOMAN!
(PAUSE)
Mia:(Face goes pale) WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T HAVE WAFFLES? YOU CAN'T JUST CUT ME OFF OF THE ONE AND ONLY THING I LOVE! MOMMY PLEASE! I PROMISE I'LL BE GOOD AND I'LL BE NICE TO SNOTTY TOMMY!
(PAUSE)
Mia:(holds on to pant leg of mom) MOMMY NOOOOOO! YOU ARE NOT LEAVING HERE WITHOUT MY WAFFLES AND MY CANDY! IF YOU DON'T GET ME THOSE WAFFLES, YOU'LL REGRET IT!
(PAUSE)
(MIA STARTS TANTRUM AND THRASHES AND KICKS ABOUT)
-A FEW MOMENTS LATER-
Mia:(holds grocery bag with waffles and chocolate) Mommy, I told you so! That's all you had to do the first time! Next time, you'll learn to get me my waffles and take up on your pinkie promises! UGHHH PARENTS THESE DAYS!
