MI EM MI EM MI EM MI EM MI As long as I’ve known her, she’s put this kind of pressure on herself. I’m not sure where she gets it. Then, of course, her sister is coming to town. Aunt Becca Why would her coming make Mom like this Em, I’m sure you’ve heard your mom call Becca the “perfect sister.” She feels inferior to Becca. She’s always felt that Becca did everything right and that she did everything wrong. Even when your mom became a Christian, she still felt that she never could live up to the standard set by Becca. In her eyes, Becca is perfect, and that’s always been really hard for her. But you would think that her faith would help. It does for some, but others, like your mom, start thinking that they are never good enough, even for God. They live like they constantly have to prove themselves. And Aunt Becca just makes her feel worse Yeah. I wish I could help Mom know that she’s loved by us and God no matter what. Well, keep trying. Maybe someday it’ll break through. (Darlene enters, frazzled and needing sleep, hair and clothes rmussed, and with white flour on her face and hands.) MI EM DR DAR MI DAR Hi, sweetheart. Hi, Mom. Hi, Mom. (Triumphantly) The cookies are finally done! I only got a couple of dozen made, but it will have to be enough. As long as no one in the family eats any, we’ll be fine. Really Don’t even think about it! Now I just have to bake six kinds of pies. 24
MI DAR MI DAR You know we could just— (Interrupting) Stop! (Shaking her finger) Noooo. Okay. I just want everything to be— MI & EM (Interrupting) We know, perfect. DAR You want a perfect Christmas, don’t you Of course you do. (Drew has been standing by the Christmas tree, and she picks up a present and shakes it.) DR Mom, how come I can’t hear anything shaking inside this present (Darlene moves quickly to the tree.) DAR Oh, sweetie, please don’t shake that. (Darlene takes the present and Drew picks up another.) DR DAR DR DAR DR DAR Can I shake this one (Takes the present) Not this one, either. (Picking up another) How about this one (Takes the present) No. Don’t shake any of these! Why not Because right now the wrapping is perfect! If we shake them, I might have to rewrap them. (She checks her planner.) And I don’t have any time scheduled for that. (Starting to lose it, she turns to the family while guarding the tree.) Nobody touch this tree! (The family stands, stunned and silent.) 25
