Setting: The kitchen, evening, Aaron is making no bake cookies, Emily is getting Maddie (age 5) and Ashlynn (age 3) ready for bed. Amy and Todd are bumbling around making a late dinner and cleaning up.
Maddie: Dad what are you doing?
Aaron: Making cookies, if you hurry up and get ready for bed you can have one in the morning.
Maddie: Ahhh man, I want a cookie now.
Aunt Amy: You know if you don't go to bed soon the No-Bake Fairy will come and eat all the no bake cookies and then there wont be any left in the morning. She is always watching for little girls who don't go to bed when they are suppose to and then she comes to eat their cookies.
Maddie wide eyed and jaw dropped runs down the hallway to where her mother is brushing Ashlynn's teeth. She turns to her mother demanding her vitamin.
Maddie: Hurry up mom, I have to get into bed or the No-Bake Fairy is going to come and eat all the cookies and their won't be any left. Mom! I NEED MY VITAMIN NOW! MOOOOOOOOOM!
Emily: Maddie, there is no such thing as a No-Bake Fairy, Aunt Amy is lying to you. Now let me finish brushing Ashlynn's teeth.
Maddie returns to the kitchen, hands on hips and exasperation on her face.
Maddie: My mom says there is no such thing as a No-Bake Fairy, she says you are LYING!
Aunt Amy: Maddie, who is older Mommy or Aunt Amy?
Maddie: You are.
Aunt Amy: Maybe mommy is too little to remember the No-Bake Fairy. Maybe Mommy never met her.
Maddie stands, hands still on hips and a confused expression on her face. Not knowing what to do she waits.
Aunt Amy: And maybe, just maybe, Aunt Amy, is a lair who just really really likes to tease, you never know. Here is your vitamin, now go to bed.
Maddie: Dad what are you doing?
Aaron: Making cookies, if you hurry up and get ready for bed you can have one in the morning.
