The Munchausen by playwright

scene 1
at home dinner is over J&K contemplating what is next
Date : Yesterday
Time : 6:32 pm
Mood : relaxed and happy almost to the point one would say giddy that the wife was home.

(Phone rings, briiing, briing,)
enter scene
J answers phone, "hello" pauses, responds in a serious voice "hold please" and walks over arm stretched out with the phone in her hand and whispers, "it's instacare".
K's mind jumps from one end of her head to the other wondering why they would be calling and as the phone hits her ear without saying hello she (sweetly) concluded, "I know, the strep culture came back negative." (very proud of her little wee brain for grabbing that bit of information and rolling with it)
The voice at the other end replies simply, "no"
K's mind rebounds from WAAAAAAAAAY in the back leaving the test results conclusion grabbing the small part that was giving a high five to the short term memory side and heads WAAAAAAAY in the front and then wonders...."who is this, why are they calling, what is this sticky crap all over the back of my hand ?"
K replies, "oh sorry"
Mystery woman continues "we send all of our rapid strep tests in and her culture continued to grow."
K, kind of accusingly and in a little AH HA ! way says, "I KNEW IT !well that explains why she was 102 this morning yet AGAIN" and then her AH HA mind continued, "alternate Tylenol and Motrin...CHA...when will you people take me seriously...I know when something is more than a cold."
Woman on the phone goes on to tell her that she would be calling in the prescription for small sickly child. tid 3 x daily.

aaaaaan END scene.
introducing sickly child













(a preview of scene 2, sickly child is feeling better and then acts better and that delivers a happy and positive response from well for now boy child)
oh the love...the love.














I was talking to a friend last night and said, "the Pediatricians office is going to start suspecting me of foul play the way we've been going lately"

(wringing hands) "now, how do I inflict this disease that hasn't already done so through binky and sippy cup transfer to the other 4 (head thrown back followed up with ev-eahl laugh) bwaaaaa haaa haa haaaaaaaa !!"
