Anatomy 105: A One Act

My mom (Meemee) stayed with Bob this evening while Jeff and I went out for a few hours. To delay the actual sleeping part of bedtime, Bob engaged Meemee in conversation.

ANATOMY 105: A ONE ACT

BOB is laying in bed. MEEMEE rubs his back .

MEEMEE

Time to close your eyes.

BOB

Your skin is there to hold in your bones.

MEEMEE

That’s right, and your blood, and your muscles, and organs.

BOB

Yeah.

MEEMEE

That’s why when you cut yourself you bleed. Your skin gets a little break in it and then you have to use a BandAid.

BOB

(lifting his shirt)
These are my bones.

MEEMEE

Those are your ribs.

BOB

They hold everything inside together.

MEEMEE


Yes, they do.

BOB

Let me show you my balls.
