DUMBLEDORE GOES TO DC
by Miss Nora
SCENE: The National Mall, outside the Smithsonian Castle
PLAYERS: Stressed-out mom, stressed-out child, my boss walkin' along
STRESSED-OUT MOM: No Honey, I'm sorry, I just don't think it's possible.
STRESSED-OUT CHILD [approaching meltdown]: But, but, I know it is! I KNOW it !! Please please please can we go in?
STRESSED-OUT MOM [spies my boss's badge]: No, honey, I'm sure it's not....wait, I'll this lady...she looks like she works here.
BOSS LADY: Yes, can I help you?
STRESSED-OUT MOM: Yes, well, my son here, would like to visit inside the Castle. [mouths: "He thinks its HOGWARTS!"]
STRESSED-OUT CHILD [looks up hopefully with teary saucer-eyes]: Could I meet Professor Dumbledore??
BOSS LADY [gets it, leans in conspiratorially]: Oh! Ordinarily we would make you an appointment directly, of course, but I'm sooooo sorry! It's summertime you know, and all the Professors are away at a Very Important Wizarding Conference! It's just us worker bees here.
STRESSED-OUT CHILD [disappointed, but mollified]: Oh, ok, then.
STRESSED-OUT MOM: Thank you. THANK YOU.
Another happy muggle.
good shit, man
