Date: 2007.04.25 | Category: Finished Object Friday | Tags:

 Act One: In the family guest room/office. The husband sits working on the computer at his desk. The wife, stands behind him at a makeshift table made out of a ironing board topped with a blocking board.

Wife: That’s it, I need to go down and sit at the table to do this!

Husband: Ok.

Wife: (picks up supplies and sweater, and starts to leave the room) I’ll likely be dead by morning.. this seaming is going to kill me!

Husband: Oh, well if I don’t hear from you in ten hours I will send in the sheep.

Wife: You better send in a llama, at least it can carry me out!

(the wife exits the room) Fade Out

Intermission.

Act Two: It is 11:30 p.m. The wife is seated at the breakfast room table, bent over weaving in a billion yarn ends in the project she has just finished.The husband enters the room.

Husband: Weaving in the ends eh?

Wife: (mumbles a positive sounding reply, as she has the tapestry needle held between her teeth)

Husband: Hey that’s kind of like adding the comments at the end of your code when you write a program.

Wife: (with a heavy sigh) Yes is is.

Husband: Well, of course when you write code you are really supposed to add the comments as you go along.

Wife: MmmHmmm

Husband: I don’t suppose…

Wife: Yes there are ways to do it as you go along.. I just don’t know how yet. I guess I have some things to learn.

Husband: I guess so (grins)

Fade Out.
