ROBERT sits on his couch reading a newspaper.
On the floor next to him is his toddler BOBBY JR. on an iPad.
They both go about their business in silence until Christmas music starts to play from the iPad.
ROBERT: Where’s that coming from? Is that music coming from your iPad?
BOBBY JR. nods and points at the iPad.
ROBERT: Here give it to me, I’ll change the song.
BOBBY JR. moves away from ROBERT.
ROBERT: It’s not Christmas time anymore. It’s not time for Christmas music.
BOBBY JR. moves away from ROBERT.
ROBERT: I don’t mind if we play music, son, it’s just –
BOBBY JR. moves away from ROBERT.
ROBERT: I think we should just change the song.
BOBBY JR. changes the song on the iPad.
ROBERT: Thank you.
It’s different Christmas song.
ROBERT: Or not…
BOBBY JR. gives ROBERT a thumbs up.
He loves Christmas music.
ROBERT: Ok… We’ll just… Ok.
ROBERT continues to read.
BOBBY JR. begins to dance to the music.
Lights fade.
END OF PLAY.
