And I'm the easily scared type! Oi!n e who here's the first scene I hope u enjoy!
love Jane!

Setting: Morning, at the breakfast table. Two girls (Jennie, Cleo) sit at the table. A boy (Joseph) and a little girl (Catherine) are fighting over toy. Mother is cooking in corner. I’m playing the mother.

Joseph: Give me the bear!
Cathy: No! Daddy gave it to me!
Joseph: No way! He gave it to me! Go away you little wench!
Cleo: Stop it! Stop fighting! Mom will freak out!
(Toy brakes, Joseph bumps into table & vase smashes. Mother comes running in & looks tried.)
Mother: What happened!
Joseph: I…uh…um…SHE Did IT!
Mother: Did you see what happened?
(Jennie shrugs shoulders and ignores mother.)
Mother: You know you could help out a little! Oh Dear! That was your great grandmother vase! She gave it to me just before she died! You two have got to stop fighting! It’s hard enough with out your father! Plus! I have to feed Mary-Jane too! Food isn’t cheap and the rationing is helping out about as much as Jennie! Speaking of which! Did you clean your room last night like I asked!
Jennie: No. (Shortly)
Mother: If you don’t start helping out, you’ll have to get a job. Providence knows we need the money! Mary Jane, hurry up & eat breakfast or you’ll be late! I mean NOW Missy!
(Mother exits. Mary-Jane comes down stairs, Jennie notices indicates her arrival to her siblings. All stare at her & make her feel like an outsider. Mary-Jane grabs her chair & moves it to stage down right. Cousins continue to stare. Mother enters.)
Mother: Aren’t you going to eat?
(Mary-Jane looks back & shrugs. Joseph starts to eat.)
Mother: Stop it Joseph! It’s time to say grace.
(Others are hesitant but, put hands together hesitantly.)
Mother:’ Dear lord. I would like to thank you for the food laid before us this morning. I would like to ask you to watch over Joseph Campbell Senior & Mary-Jane fathers & brother, Mike & James MacDonald who are off fighting in France last we heard. Please bring them home. It’s not their time yet Lord. Please! Um… Amen.
Cathy: A-Men!
Mother: You may start. Mary Jane! Please eat! I can’t do this Mary Jane! What’s with you lately! You’ve been acting so morbid! You won’t eat! You won’t talk! I CAN’T TAKE IT! Eat or don’t but make up your mind now because if you don’t hurry up you’ll be late for school!
(Mary-Jane gets up & walks to put her coat on.)
Mother: Mary-Jane where are you going?
(Mary-Jane takes some thing out of her pocket.)
Mother: What’s that?
Marry Jane: It’s…It’s a…um…
Mother: It’s a what?
(Mary Jane run’s out of house.)
Mother: Fine! Ignore me! Everyone else in this house dose!
(Mother burst out crying. Jennie, Cleo, Joseph, & Cathy stare at their mother.)
Cathy: Mommy?
Mother: Eat! All of you! NOW!!!
