Excerpt: This is just a sample. Whole portions of the sections have been excluded, but this should be enough to give a general feeling of the overall skit. Sue: That was my mom on the phone. We were just making the final plans for Christmas Eve. Tom: (confused) What do you mean you and your mom "were making the final plans?" What does your mom have to do with it? Sue: (Her turn to be confused) Huh? Tom: Why are you and your mom making plans for Christmas Eve when we’re going to be spending Christmas Eve with my family? Sue: We’re not spending it with your family. We’re meeting my parents and my brother and his wife for dinner on The Plaza downtown. Tom: Sue, you seem to be a little confused. You see, every year, I spend Christmas Eve at my folk’s house, with the rest of my family. Sue: Well, that’s going to be a little hard to do this year, since you’ll be dining downtown with me and my family. Tom: Since when? Sue: Since forever! It’s tradition in my family and since you are part of my family now, you are a part my tradition. Tom: Now, wait just a minute. It’s tradition in my family that we all gather at my parents house, and since you are my wife, you will partake of my family tradition! |
