Family Snapshots: Take 1

Jamie is paid a surprise visit by and old college friend Brenda. Jamie has four kids, and a hectic home-centered life, while Brenda has remained single and is making her mark in the corporate world. But during this visit Brenda can hardly get a word in as one kid after another demands attention. Clearly, Jamie has her hands full. To top it all off, her oldest drops in from college with a bag of laundry. Brenda can’t handle the chaos so she excuses herself and leaves. Jamie finally snaps and sends all her kids to their rooms. Her oldest sheepishly comes back - he doesn’t have a room anymore. She apologizes for her anger, but expresses her frustration with how the kids take her for granted. He apologizes and assures her she’s more than his laundry service, and then ends by asking what’s for dinner, Mom? The topics covered are: Mother’s Day, and challenge of parenting. There are 3 male (1 college-aged, 1 teen, 1 child), and 3 female (1 teen) characters, and 6 participants. The author is Sharon Sherbondy.
