Our family
Mr Kenneth is seen relaxing in the sitting room. His mind stumbles on something and he summons his children.
Mr Kenneth: Zior!
Zior: Yes dad (she screams from inside)
Mr Kenneth: come with your siblings
Zior: Okay daddy (She comes almost immediately with her siblings)
siblings).
Mr Kenneth: You all should sit down
Zite: Dad, hope you're good?
Mr Kenneth: Sure! I summoned the three of you here for a reason.
The children: (look at themselves simultaneously).
Mr Kenneth: Zite!
Zite! Dad!
Mr Kenneth: Your form teacher reported me to you. She said you
now skip classes. When did that one start?
Zite: Dad! The class is always boring and besides I don't
understand what those teachers teach most times.
Mr Kenneth: And you think skipping classes is the best thing to do? I mean Zite; how do you want to get good grades by skipping
classes? Don't you know it's to your own detriment? If you don't understand, then ask questions. The reason you were sent to school is to acquire knowledge and I can't be paying for nothing. So darling, you need to buckle up.
Zite: I'm sorry dad. It won't repeat itself again.
Mr Kenneth: (Ignores her) As for you both Zior and Zane, keep making me proud. (He smiles).
Zior & Zane: Thank you dad!
Mr Kenneth: I'll be going on a business trip tomorrow and I will
want you all to be of good behavior till I return. I will be back in no time.
Zior: But dad! Who will stay with us?
Zane: Dad! You travel a lot. You no longer have enough time for us. You travelled since last two months and you came back last weekend.
Zite: Today is Thursday and you're leaving again.
Zior: You didn't even stay for week at least. That means you now care about your business alone. You no longer love us.
Mr Kenneth: Don't say that okay? I'm doing all these for the three of you, you know you're all I've got. I will be back In no time, meanwhile I will ask Auntie Jenn.......
The Children: Auntie Jenn?
Mr Kenneth: Do not interrupt me again. She will come stay with you till I return.
Zane: Dad, we don't like her! She starves us, she's wicked to us,
she punishes us at every slightest mistake.
Zior: I can't stand her even for a second.
Zite: Dad! What kind of connection do you even have with that
lady called Jenn cos I don't even like her one bit. She's too full of
herself.......
Mr Kenneth: (Interrupts her) Zite! Watch your mouth!
Zite: Dad, listen to us your children for once, we don't like her. She's too inconsiderate.
Mr Kenneth: You all can leave now. I'm done with this
conversation.
Zite: ( hissed)
Mr Kenneth: What was the meaning of that?
Zite: Sorry dad (she leaves with her siblings).
Light fades.
