Vegetable Landing: A One Act


There is a hold over from Bob’s baby days where on occasion he will still request/demand (tomato/tomahto) to have his vegetables “airplaned” into his mouth with daddy’s assistance. I am all for anything that gets the brussel sprouts in.


VEGETABLE LANDING
(6:45 PM. Dinner time.)

BOB
Into the airport!


JEFF
(Flying a spoonful of peas towards Bob’s open mouth.)
Alpha bravo foxtrot six five two niner. Bob Airport Tower, please reply.

BOB
Into the airport! In! In!


JEFF
We are encountering some turbulence. Are we cleared for landing at Bob Airport?


BOB
In now! Touch down airplane!


(The pea loaded spoon “lands” in Bob’s mouth. Bob chews. Stops abruptly.)


JEFF
Everything alright, Buddy?


BOB
The airport burped.


END SCENE
