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)
