Scene: Early morning in an average American kitchen the day after Easter. Amy and Todd are getting ready to leave for work and school respectively, gathering books and bags, putting on shoes. Maddie a bright and happy four year old is sitting on the floor moving hard boiled eggs out of their container and happily placing them around the room.
Uncle Todd: To (Maddie) What are you doing?
Maddie: Hiding eggs, Ashlynn are I are playing Easter hunt.
Uncle Todd: Did you count the eggs before you hid them.
Maddie: No
Aunt Amy: Hey Maddie, what is the difference between something that is hidden and something that is lost?
Maddie: You can find something that is hidden. Things that are lost stay missing.
Todd and Amy exit to the driveway
Aunt Amy: Why do I get the feeling that in three days we will all be looking for stinky eggs?
Ok, so I watch a lot of T.V.
or I used to before I started Grad School
(which is eating my life!)
And we have an amazing cable package,
so please take me seriously
as I recommend
Parenthood
I like it because it makes me laugh.
Because it makes me cry.
And because I makes me want to be a better member of my own family.
