SN MI DAR MI DAR SN MI DAR MI SN MI SN MI Will it be all right with her if I’m around She was pretty mad. Yeah, I know. You should’ve seen her yesterday when she went to bake the Christmas pies and discovered that your exploding cookies took out all the circuits to the oven. I suggested that we just buy pies, but— (Offstage, intensely) We can’t buy pies! You want a perfect Christmas, don’t you! Yes, sweetheart. (To Snake) I haven’t seen her so upset about pies since I suggested that we use canned pumpkin on Thanksgiving. (From offstage) Pumpkins come from a garden, not a can! So, how’s she gonna make ’em I put in an emergency call to the appliance repair shop. They’ll be here any minute. Hopefully they’ll get it fixed quickly and she can make the pies and the cookies. It would just be a good idea to keep a bit of distance from her right now. She’s a little edgy. (From offstage) You want a perfect Christmas, don’t you Of course you do. You’re going to love me this Christmas. See what I mean Got it. In the meantime, let’s finish up my lights. How are you with electricity (Nodding) Awesome! You know, Rodney, I mean Snake, making ends meet, working long hours, getting to all the kids’ events, and keeping up with all of life’s demands – especially at Christmastime – what’s a dad to do (They exit as song begins.)

SCENE 4 A couple of days later at the Hampton home (As the scene opens, Mitch, Drew, and Emily are lounging in the front room. From offstage, Darlene blows her whistle and the three jump up and into housecleaning action as Darlene crosses from one side of the stage to the other and exits out the front door. The three relax. Darlene stops just short of a full exit and speaks without turning.) DAR EM MI EM MI EM MI EM MI EM I see you, Mrs Ripcroquette. You don’t have to hide. There’s nothing for you to spy on. (Eileen and Oswald, who are hiding behind a bush with camouflage outfits and bushy hats on, rise from behind the bush, then exit. Without turning back to the house, Darlene blows another whistle and the housework begins again. After a moment, the scene continues.) Dad, I’m worried about Mom. She’s gone way overboard about this “perfect Christmas” thing. Oh, she’ll be all right. Just give her some space. Christmas is only two days away now. But she keeps wandering around muttering to herself. This morning, she had fallen asleep on the couch and I tried to take her iPad out of her hand, and she woke up and assumed a position out of Kung Fu Panda! If I hadn’t ducked at the right time, she would’ve taken my head off with a high kick. (Concerned) That’s no good. Then she came into the kitchen and I offered to make her some coffee. She said something about needing Pamprin with a Red Bull chaser. (Even more concerned) That’s really no good. She seems to think that we’re all going to love her based on how perfect she can be, or how perfect Christmas is. What’s up with that Well, I don’t think the pressure is coming from us. I hope she knows that we’ll love her regardless. Where’s it from, then 23
