Mom: Happy Birthday!
Daughter: Thanks Mom! But you didn’t need to get me anything.
Mom: Your walls are so bare, so I thought I’d make you a little something.
The mom hands the daughter a present. She unwraps it.
Daughter: …
Mom: I know. Beautiful, right?
Daughter: It’s really… interesting.
Mom: That’s what your father said!
Daughter: I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything that has both 9-11 and The Lion King.
Mom: Thank you! I didn’t know what to make, but then I remembered how much you loved The Lion King as a child. You would cry and cry when Mufasa died…
Daughter: But why did you…
Mom: Put in the twin towers? I thought it just fit.
Daughter: Mom, are you equating 9-11 with the death of Mufasa?
Mom: No! Not at all!
Beat.
Mom: But I did cry at both.
Daughter: Mom! It’s not the same thing!
Mom: I know, I know!
Beat.
Mom: Now, where should I hang it? Oooo, how about above the TV?
