Make It Funky (James Brown Edition)
Linda Weely is a mother of extraordinary intellectuals who happen to be 5 year old fraternal twins. Her husband Mr. Leon Weely is a high ranking Sergeant in the United States Navy. He is stationed in Norfolk Virginia. His family resides in Alexandria Virginia. It is Linda’s birthday and her sister-in-law (Mara) has volunteered to watch the twins (Lola & Tolan) so Mr. and Mrs. Weely can enjoy a night out together. Mara hasn’t seen Lola & Tolan since they were 2 years old. Linda articulates to Mara that she and Mr. Weely will be home in the morning for breakfast to surprise the twins.
Linda:
Thank you so much for sacrificing your weekend to watch the twins for us Mara. It’s been so long since I’ve been on a romantic date with Leon. They are upstairs brushing their teeth. Let me go upstairs and get them.
Mara:
I can’t wait to see them! I was wondering if you didn’t mind me having company. My boyfriend wanted to stop by.
Linda:
Yeah, sure! Please be mindful that Lola and Tolan are very advanced. They soak up every piece of information that crosses their path. They are like 5 years old, going on 25. Keep your eye on those two.
Mara:
I understand, thanks Linda!
The twins enter the living room and jumps on Aunt Mara attacking her in love-hugs.
Lola & Tolan: (Simultaneously)
Aunt Mara! We missed you! (Hugging and kissing her)
Mara:
I can’t believe you guys still remember me. I'm so thankful we’ve talked on the telephone to keep in touch. I haven’t seen you since you were 2 years old. Where does the time go? You smell so good!
Lola:
It was prohibited for us to Skype you. Dad was not a fan of that. You look the same; still pretty. I actually helped Tolan remember how you would look. As the older child, I have to keep him on track.
Tolan: (laughing)
Don’t believe her aunt Mara. I can recall you always singing to us. That is how I remembered you.
Mara:
Oh my goodness. Yes, I did! I can’t believe you remembered me singing to you Tolan.
Linda:
I am getting ready to meet your dad for our date. Give me some love before I go. (Tolan and Lola hug and kiss her.)
Lola & Tolan:
Is dad coming back home with you? It would be so nice to see dad. He has been absent for 3 days from us.
Linda:
No, I don’t think so. He has a very important job to do. I don’t know when dad is coming back home…sorry!
Lola & Tolan: (Holding hands looking sad)
Please tell dad to call us and leave us a message. Have a good time mom.
Linda:
Thank you! Mara, call me on my cell phone if you need anything.
Mara:
Sure will! Do they always talk at the same time? Wow, I never noticed it.
Linda:
Yes, they do that a lot! They have a very close spiritual connection.
Scene changes…the twins are in their room playing. Mara is in the next room across from the twins with her boyfriend Miguel.
Lola: (Knocking)
Aunt Mara, we’re hungry. Can Tolan and I have a late night snack?
Tolan:
What did she say?
Lola:
Nothing! I knocked and knocked, but didn’t get an answer.
The next morning Mara is cooking breakfast. Lola and Tolan are enjoying it. They get a surprise!
Mr. Weely: (Smiling)
Good morning Tolan! Good morning Lola!
Lola & Tolan: (Soaking in happiness)
Mom, dad, you’re home! Mom you tricked us!
Tolan: (Hugging his dad tight)
Thank you dad! I love you! You rock for serving our country! I'm proud of you.
Lola: (Kisses her dad on the cheek)
I missed you dad, have a seat by me. Eat some breakfast with us. You are the best surprise ever!
Mr. Weely:
I will be home with my favorite kids all week and next week. We have some make-up plans.
Lola & Tolan: (Joyful)
Yes…yes…yes! We can’t wait dad! Thank you! Thank you mom!
Linda:
How was last night? Were you two on your best behavior? Did aunt Mara take good care of you?
Mara:
We had fun. Everything went well. They were angels.
Tolan: (Food in mouth)
Yes, it was a bonzer! Aunt Mara was very busy doing it with her boyfriend, Miguel.
Mr. & Mrs. Weely: (Surprisingly)
Um…what are you talking about?
Lola:
Mom and dad, aunt Mara was having sex with her boyfriend. We heard them. Neither of us could sleep because of all the noise.
Tolan:
Sex is when 2 consenting adults care about each other, like you and dad. You guys care all the time!
Lola:
Aunt Mara’s boyfriend really cares about her. He cared about her all night long!
Mr. & Mrs. Weely: (Blank-stare…speechless)
In life, things may get a little funky when you care about someone other than yourself...so make it funky! LOL :0)
