A Short Play About Being 7

Mom: How old are you again?

CC: ...

Mom: 37, right? That makes you about 7 to me.

[Later on, after CC has made a cappuccino for Mom and a long espresso for Dad, CC is making hot chocolate for herself.]

Mom: What are you having?

CC: Hot chocolate.

Mom: Isn't that sugary?

CC: Yes... so?

Mom: Well, I guess that's ok. It's suits someone who's 7.

[Even later in the evening, as CC is trying to explain the jacked up menus of the updated Microsoft Office to Mom.]

CC, muttering under her breath: No 7-year-old could teach you this.

Mom: Are you kidding? These days, 3-year-olds can do this.
