Window Shopping: A One Act

WINDOW SHOPPING

(11:45 AM. BOB and I are driving home from the mall.)

BOB

I really need the wooden cookie set from the toy store at The Grove.

ME

We were just window-shopping, Bob. We were only looking, not buying today.

BOB

Mama?

ME

Yes, Pooch?

BOB

Window-shopping is too hard. I can’t do it anymore.

ME

I understand.

BOB

Do you? Do you understand?

ME

I really do. (Beat) Why don’t we put the cookie set on a list for Santa?

BOB

It’s Christmas now?

ME

No, but we can make a list for later.

BOB

Mama? Can you call Santa and tell him that today is Hannukah?
