Jack And Jill Plays - Part 16 - Interrupting

About Jack and Jill Plays:


This is a new thing I'm doing.  Posting a short play every day as long as I can.  This does not mean that I wrote this play today but I might have.  (My life is not always my own what with work and a 4 year old running around so maybe I wrote it today or maybe it was stockpiled in preparation for the days I can't get in writing.)  My goal is to do at least 100 of these or maybe more but probably 45 or 50 is the length of a full length play so even that would be good.  100 would be better.  300?  amazing.  500?  Does anyone want 500 of these plays?  Anyway, the goal is consecutive days.


The normal things about plays apply-- don't produce or reproduce this play without my permission.  I wrote it so I own it.  Etc.

JILL

Life is just little moments, right?  There's one.  There's another one.



JACK

Yeah.



JILL

And then a few of them we remember.



JACK

Yeah.



(WALLACE, a 3 year old enters.  HE approaches ADAM who is typing on a laptop.)



WALLACE

Now can I have something to eat?



ADAM

No.  You had a full dinner.



WALLACE

I'm still hungry.



ADAM

You're not.  You just don't want to go to sleep.  Will you let me write this play please?  It's just a short play.



WALLACE

I'm still hungry.



ADAM

You're not.  Will you go lie down?



WALLACE

I want someone to lie down with me.



ADAM

Sigh.



(ADAM exits after WALLACE. A beat.)



JILL

So we'll just.  We'll wait here then.
