SFX Nighttime sounds. Blankets rustling. A baby’s cries fill the room.
DAD Come on, champ. Hush now. Look here! Daddy’s got your nose!
The baby immediately stops crying. We transition to an adult clearing their throat.
BABY No, Father. You do not, in fact, ‘have my nose,’ as anyone with a basic understanding of human anatomy can surmise. You do however have a thumb between your forefinger and middle finger, masquerading as a nose.
I do tire of these silly charades, you know. What’s the next act of your late-night comedy repertoire, hmm? Peekaboo? Silly faces? Or are you going to do that thing where you develop uninspiring character arcs for my toes? I’m soooooo spoilt for choice. Yawn.
