Political Par-tay

Scene opens in small dining room with husband and wife seated at table discussing upcoming election.  ENTER thirteen year old son.

MOM:  Oh, good.  Enzo was asking me about Hillary Clinton.  Maybe you could tell him something, Air.

Father and Son engage in discussion.  ENTER eleven year old daughter.

CLARA:  Hey! In Twenty Twenty Kanye West is running for president.  He just announced it.  Can we pleeeeeeeeease vote for him?

MOM and DAD:  NO!

CLARA:  But....what?????   Why not?

DAD:  Sweetie, just because someone can lay fresh beats it doesn't necessarily mean he'll be a good world leader.

CLARA:  Um, excuuuuuuuse me.  If you heard his song Gold Digger  you'd change your mind!

Parents jaws drop.  Scene ends in silence.


Scene opens with ENZO, in living room, trying to remember a date

ENZO: Ummm, Errrrr.  Twenty Twenty.  Wait no...

MOM: Well, do you know what Twenty Twenty is?

CLARA'S VOICE (screaming from upstairs):  THE YEAR KANYE WEST IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!

MOM:  I was going to say, "The year Enzo graduates from high school, but thank you, Clara.  I almost forgot.
