The first time you eat something very delicious.
-The first time something hurts.
The first time you walk, the first time you run....
-The first time you fall.
The first time you realize you love someone.
-The first time you are very mad…. at someone you
love.
The first time....you're afraid.
The first time you go to school.
The first time someone pulls your pigtails, the first
time you learn something so interesting it changes your life, the first time
you realize teachers aren't perfect, like you thought…..the first time you realize
your mother isn’t perfect like you thought…..
(Quiet) The
first time you have your period
(Happy) The first time you make a friend.
The first time you realize that friend kissed the guy you like.
The first time you cry.
The first time you graduate.
The first time you fall in love,,,,,,,The first time
you have sex.....the first time you have an orgasm. (an aside) Those three can be in any order.
The first time...you are very scared you could be
pregnant.
The first time you are happy to find out you are not
pregnant.
The first time you really hate someone.
The first time someone hurts you.
The first time....(slowly).. .you hurt someone.
The first time you realize you did something really
bad and you can't fix it.
The first time you cry....so deeply that it's not crying
anymore, it's sobbing.
The first time you know you are over the
problem....and you still hurt.
The first time you get a job.
The first time you meet someone and spend the whole
day talking to them and you know that you are going to marry them.
The first time you get
married....
The first time you are sad
to find out you’re not pregnant…
The first time you get
pregnant.....and all the other firsts that go with that .....all of which
connect you to every other woman that has ever lived and had a child.
The first time you......you
see your firstborn.
The first time you fall in
love with someone you have never seen before.
The first time.....you
realize your children are grown.
The first time you realize
that someone you have known for 50 years can drive you insane when they are
around all the time because they have retired and do not have a hobby.
The first time you realize
that someone you have known for 50 years is still a mystery
The first time you lose
someone you love.
The first time....you
realize someone you love is never gone.
The first time you forget
something....
The first time you are so
sick that it is scary
The first time you realize
that everything you know is ....nothing.
The first time you see your
grandchild.
The first time you want to
see your great-great grandchild.
The first time you get tired
– really tired! – of saying ‘the first time’
The first time ….I’m sorry,
I can’t remember…. The first time you .....I'm sorry I can't remember this
line……
(Starts to walk off, looks
back)
Now I remember….
The first time......you die.
(Exits...for the first time)
