Welcome to Monologue Mania- one new free* monologue a day- -and still going!
(Exits - that's all folks!)
(Actress enters, she is thinking)
I know I'm forgetting something. What is it?
My daughter remembers something I told her from 15 years ago - something I said that was mean, that I knew was awful as soon as it left my lips. If I could have sucked those words in, I would have, but no, they are stuck in her head.
My husband said something mean to me last week - and I cannot forgive or forget yet, so I bring it up whenever I am mad at him.
Today when I brought up his words - which, in a few weeks, he will not remember - I thought, I sound like my daughter! She brings up what upset her from years ago, and I bring up what upset me from before......how amazing! ........ I wonder where she got it from......
