| Summary: This lighthearted look at motherhood begins with a woman wanting to know how she is doing in her role as a mother. She asks her mirror: "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest mom of all?" The mirror is hesitant to answer, however, given that he is prone to telling the truth. But, at the insistence of the woman the mirror begins to tell her the truth as he sees it. When she becomes discouraged, it takes two other household mirrors to convince the woman that the truth isn't always as it may initially seem. | |
| Excerpt: This is just a sample, but should be enough to give you the overall feeling of the skit. Mirror, Mirror Props: For mirrors, characters can either hold up an actual mirror or they can wear a large card board sign covered with aluminum foil, to indicate they are a mirror) Setting: As the scene opens, woman is gazing into her mirror Note: The mirrors can be played by either males or females—they are gender neutral.Woman: Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest mom of all? Mirror: You’ve got the wrong mirror lady. I don’t do that kind of work anymore. Woman: Why not? Mirror: Because I tell the truth. Woman: So? Mirror: So? Do you know what kind of damage people can do to a mirror who tells the truth? Just last week I got a shoe thrown in my face for telling a lady that she actually did look fat in the dress she was wearing. They’re still searching for some of my broken pieces! Woman: Oh dear. Well, what if I promise not to throw anything at you? Please? I’d really like to hear what you have to say. Mirror: Sure, you say that now. Believe me lady, you don’t really want to know the truth. Woman: Yes, I do. Mirror: No, you don’t. Woman: Yes, I do. Mirror: No, you don’t. Woman: Yes, I do! Mirror: You can’t handle the truth! Woman: (grabbing person by the collar) Look, you arrogant piece of over reflective glass, I want the truth and I want it right now! Mirror: Okay, you asked for it.
