Merci Papa.  Maman m’a aide un petit peu.

AT RISE: Mom and 6 y/o ClaraJane and <10 y/o Gavin are in the kitchen making birthday cupcakes and cake.  It is momentarily quiet.

Girl:  I love you Gavin.  I’m happy for you.  I’m excited for your party tomorrow.

[Pause.]

Boy:   CJ… I.  I… think you’re stupid too.

Both: [LAUGHING]

Boy:  I love you too CJ.

Both:  [HUGGING]

Boy:  And I love you Mamma.  Thanks for helping with this party tomorrow!

Mom:  [Pause.]  Um… sure buddy.  Happy to “help?”  I love you… too!
