Around the House: A Short Play

[It is a lovely Sunday in August. Kate and her mother are sitting on the deck, talking about whether a distant ancestor was arrested for failure to pay back taxes, or for dressing up like Guy Fawkes one too many times].

MomKate: Well, they never formally charged him but after the house was seized, his wife and children boarded the MayFlower and—oh, for God's sake!

Kate: What?!

MomKate: The %#@^^ squirrels are now eating through the fence too!

Kate: I've been saying for years that Nature sucks but no one listened to me.

MomKate: Where's that flamethrower?

Aaaand...scene!
