Johnny’s Mum: No dear, I haven’t seen it. But don’t you think you’re a bit old to be playing with sock puppets?
Johnny: “Come on! It’s not like it’s a teddy or anything.”
Johnny’s Mum: “Maybe if you’d cleaned your room like I asked you wouldn’t keep losing things.”
Johnny: (to himself) “Where could he have got to?” *while walking further down the hall*
Johnny’s Mum: *enters the study* “Johnny! Get your butt in here right now!”
Johnny: Yeah? “What’s wrong?”
Johnny’s Mum: “What is this filth?”
Johnny: “Oh my god! What are those socks doing to each other?”
Johnny’s Mum: “Don’t you play dumb! You’re the one logged in! do you think I’m stupid?”
Johnny: “I didn’t do it! It must have been him!” *points to sock puppet on the mouse* “He must have done it while I was looking for him in my room!”
Johnny’s Mum: “You think I’m going to fall for something as stupid as that? It’s ridiculous, take the blame like a man! You’re not using the computer anymore! You get homework, you can get books!”
*Small evil laugh emanates from the puppet*
*Fades to black with trailing laughter*
