Master Thespian Strikes Again

Scene. Bedtime. M and A are in A's room. J is in the kitchen.

M: "So what story would you like me to read to you tonight?"

A: "Pygmalion!"



Normally, I'd be inordinately pleased that A wants a George Bernard Shaw play read to him, but this is really part of A's plan to become an Evil Rex Harrison. Already added to the lexicon: nuisance, nonsense, gutter-snipe, baggage, "ungrateful creature," and the ever favorite, "damn, damn, damn, damn!"
