Welcome to Monologue Mania- one new free* monologue a day- -and still going!
(Actress enters, she is deep in thought)
I know I'm forgetting something. What is it?
(Thinks, remembers)
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 mind.
(Shakes head)
That's not what I forgot. What I want to remember, I can't, but what I told my daughter fifteen years ago.....THAT I can't forget ......(sighs) These are the things I remember! Things I would rather forget.......I think, I had to go someplace......but...so hazy......now 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 months, 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! ........(Truly puzzled)..... I wonder where she got it from......
