(Characters : Joshua, Mom, and Sis.)

Josh and Sis enter all excited, because this is the week that Mom promised to take the two of them to the store. Sis is excited about the new dolly she is going to be getting, and Josh is excited about the new baseball uniform he will be getting. Josh tells Sis and the kids that the uniform he had last year was used, and had grass stains on the knees, tears in his pants that Mom was always sewing up, and it belonged to Johnny Mustard, who never took a shower and left yellow stains in the arm pits. But now this year, he will look cool in a brand new white uniform. Mom enters in a rush, and Josh and Sis ask her when they are going to the store. Mom tells them that they are going to have to put that off until next month, and that she doesn't have time to explain it to them now. Josh and Sis begin to complain, but Mom has to leave, and tells them that she will be back in an hour. While Mom is gone, Josh and Sis begin to talk about how Mom lied to them, and broke a promise. Josh complains that now he will have to play ball in that old stained uniform again, and everyone will make fun of him. Josh then tells Sis that he will never forgive Mom for the rest of his life. Sis agrees, and they both leave.

(Someone comes in with a sign that says "One Hour Later")

Josh and Sis enter still complaining, when Mom comes back in. Mom says hello to the kids, who won't talk back to her. Mom has the kids sit down, and asks them if they are mad about her breaking her promise to take them to the store. They both say yes, and take their turns complaining. Mom now apologizes to the kids, and then explains to them why she had to break her promise. She tells them that Grandma and Grandpa's car broke down, and they didn't have enough money to fix it, so she gave them the money she was planning on using to get the kids the things they wanted. Again, she apologizes and tells them that she should have come and explained it to them at the very beginning. Josh and Sis now feel somewhat ashamed, and apologize to Mom for getting mad without knowing all the details, telling her that she has always treated them good in the past, and that they should have trusted her now. They all leave.
