last night’s monologue, post-improv show, by a six-year-old boy
Hi! Hi! Hi! {shakes hands vigorously} Um, um um! {mom quietly coaches] Oh yeah, my favorite was the haunted house! {referring an improv scene, set in a closed department store, in which mannequins come to life} It was scary! Next time, I’m going to up there and give karate to the ghosts! Hi-yah! {flurry of air-kicks and punches} You know what guess what you know what? My birthday is on December 7th and I’m going to stand on the stage! Hi-yah! Me and Spiderman will kill the ghosts! Hey! Um! Hey! Watch me twirl in a circle! Okay! Bye!
