First Thread Unravels
Mother and 7-year-old child center stage, facing the audience. They hold Christmas shopping bags.

Child:
It's Santa!


Mother:
Well, actually, the real Santa is at the North Pole. This is one of his helpers.

Child:
He looks exactly like Santa.

Mother:
He does. But he's just a helper.

Child:
At school, I feed and clean up the gerbils in our science lab. Mrs. Trowbridge says I'm her helper. But I don't look anything like her.

Mother:
We should finish up. One more store to go.

Child:
Do you look exactly like your boss at work?

Mothers reaches to rub her temples and closes her tired eyes. Cut to black.
