Billy & Margaret come onstage
Margaret: Hey Janie, whatcha doing?
Janie: Getting more and more upset with finding a present is what, Margaret!
Billy: If you’re lookin’ for a present for me I could give you some real cool ideas Janie.
Janie: Just exactly why would I ever want to go and get a present for you Billy Thompson?
Billy: Just tryin’ to be helpful is what Janie. . . . So whose birthday is it Janie?
Janie: Nobody’s birthday that I know.
Billy: Then why a present?
Margaret: Think Billy! . . . What big important day is coming up?
Billy: Let’s see, it’s not Christmas. . . And I already had my birthday. . . . Sorry, I can’t think of any important days.
Margaret: Anyone in your house that might be having a special day?
Billy: Well my little brother lost a tooth but I’m not gonna go get him a present for that!
Janie: It’s your mother Billy Thompson!
Billy: My Mom lost a tooth?
Janie: You know something Billy Thompson? . . . Sometimes you are such a pain!
Margaret: That’s not a nice thing to say Janie.
Billy: Thanks for stickin’ up for me Margaret.
Janie: So, Margaret, you don’t think Billy Thompson is sometimes a pain?
Margaret: Billy Thompson is ‘most always a pain, I just don’t think you should come out and say so.
Billy: Thanks again . . I think, Margaret. . . . Anyhow is anyone gonna tell me what special day is happenin’?
Janie: Wake up Billy Thompson! . . It’s Mother’s Day, a day to do ‘specially nice things for your Mom.
Margaret: What did you get special for your mom Billy?
Billy, thinks: Well .. . it’s . . . it’s . . . kind of hard to describe.
Janie: You didn’t get one thing for your mom, did you Billy Thompson?
Billy: Well, Dad’s been very busy, what with hockey playoffs on and all.
Janie: What’s your dad’s hockey got to do with you getting your mom a Mothers Day present Billy?
Billy: See, may Dad and me we got a special thing going about buyin’ presents for my Mom.
Margaret: Awww that’s nice Billy! Your Dad helps out with gift ideas for what your Mom would like, right?
Billy: No actually my Dad helps out with his credit card.
