         (Actor enters, arms wide)

All!  What an inclusive word!  All!  

All in the Family!  Know it all!  Jack of All Trades!   All dressed up and no place to go......all for one....one for all....all the best!......all that glitters....all wet......all worked up......free for all!......I'm all...ears!

        (Grabs ears)

You can't be all things......even if you want to be.....on all fours.....  all the way to the bank......in all probability....  ....all wet.....all talk and no action....All systems are go!  (smirking)...going all the way.....for all I know....which isn't much.....all things in good time......all out....all told....all work and no play.....all walks of life......

     (Stomping feet)

All the rage!

       (Saddens)

All in the same boat.....

       (Takes out handkerchief, wipes eyes)

.All for the best....   and then....all over but the shouting.....

All the way home.....

        (Turns to leave, stops, looks back)

End all.....

       (Exits - that's all folks!)

                                             I Forgot to Take My Memory Test
                                               a monologue by Janet S. Tiger 
                                                (c) all rights reserved (c) 2017

           (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......

          (She turns to leave, stops, looks at her watch)

I remember!  I forgot to take my memory test!
