Kristen's Monologues


Monologue 1: 
So . . . um . . . . yeah (Flick hair)There was this time we went to Mamaw’s house and when we got there my mom and Dad wouldn't let us go in a certain room.  And I thought why not ? and then I heard this clippity clack and Riley came running out, and I was like a PUPPY!!!!!!!!!  He was really little and cute but at first I was scared he would bite me but I am glad we have him because he keeps me company and is fun to play with. 

 Monologue 2:
Well I don’t really know one, except for the time Mom was like it was going to be okay, but it wasn't.
It was dark and raining outside and storming a little, and around 6 o’clock Riley, our dog, had to go to the bathroom.  But he won’t go outside by himself in the rain, but I was scared to go outside because it was storming.  But Mom was like, it will be fine just take the umbrella out so the Riley will go to the bathroom and not get wet.  So I was like, but what if I get electrocuted with the umbrella, and she was like you’ll be fine and I was like okay I’ll go.  So Riley and I went out and it takes forever for him to go to the bathroom and I didn't want to be out there, and right after he finishes going to the Bathroom there was this huge flash of lighting that lit up the whole sky and then this loud clap of thunder.  It was like a loud boom, you know like boom, it sounded like . . . boom.  So I dropped the umbrella and I ran back through the garage to go back inside.  And Riley is bouncing behind me because he is little and trying to keep up with me because I am running so fast and I get inside and fall to the ground because I am so happy to be safe, and I was like See mom I told you it wasn't safe out there!

Monologue 3:
This was last year, and I wanted to go and visit my daughter Kristen in Utah.  Her cousin Emily was already planning on going so we decided to go together.  Emily had told Kristen she was coming but we wanted it to be a surprise that I would be there too.  The problem was Emily and I were flying standby.  Flying from North Carolina, we struggled getting seats to fly from Charlotte to Phoenix but we both made it.  The flights were even tighter from Phoenix to Salt Lake, but Emily got on one and I was stuck in Phoenix.  The other problem was Kristen usually calls me during the day, but since I was sitting in air ports where the speakers were really loud and she would guess where I was, I had to ignore her phone calls, which she thought could have meant something happened to me.  But Emily kept contacting Kristen letting her know where she was and when she would hopefully arrive in Utah.  The other problem was Kristen was watching a high school play for a class and kept having to leave the play to talk to Emily to try and find her a ride to the air port.  Luckily I caught a plane to Salt Lake, picked up a rental car and Emily told Kristen that her Uncle was just going to pick her up and she would drive to Provo to meet her in the morning.  It’s was around 8:30 in the morning and Kristen was getting ready to go to class when we knocked on her door.  She opens the door and her face is priceless.  Emily is standing there with a video camera and Kristen first looks at her and then sees me.  Her mouth drops open and her hands  hit her face and then she slams the door!  Kristen reopened the door and immediately gave us both hugs, she was just so shocked to see me.  For the rest of my life I will remember her reaction and I was so happy I got to go and see her!
