Yet Another Short Play About Being 7

[CC has joined a gym so she can relearn how to swim. Mom has arranged for her to pay annual dues in one lump sum, but the membership won't be processed for a few days, so the rep on the phone recommended going to the website and printing a 7-day free pass that the gym offers to suck new people in.]

Mom: Here's a lock, and here's the combination.

CC: Thanks, Mom.

Mom: Also, here's a towel. Your swimsuit will be wet after you're finished, so wrap it up in the towel.

CC: Ok, Mom.

Mom: Also, here's a plastic bag -- you can put your towel and suit in it.

CC: Ok.

Mom: Here are some travel-sized toiletries for your shower.

CC: Ok.

Mom: Don't forget to tell the person at the front desk that you already have a membership, or they'll make you take a tour of the gym, and you'll be late for your lesson.

CC: Ok.

Mom: Write down this information: this is the name of the person I talked to, and this is her rep number.

CC: Ok.

Mom: Here's the phone number they can call if they have any questions.

CC: Ok.

Mom: The instructor's name is Kathy, and she's really nice.

CC: Ok.

Mom: Don't forget to tell them that you already have a membership, it just hasn't completed being processed.

CC: Yes, I know -- I'm on it. I have all the information written down. Bye!

[CC arrives at gym.]

CC: Hi! I have a 7-day pass, but --

Dude at front desk: Yeah, your mom called a few minutes ago. Go on back.
