Why are Men so Silly?

A MINI-PLAY: 3 ACTS in 12 LINES

Tuesday ~ Lunchtime ~ The HappyBean

Jill: “Why are men so silly?”

Jack: “What do you mean? Are you saying I’m silly?”

Jill shakes her head. “Not now, pal. But when I first met you, yes.”

Jack winces. “Yeah, my first words to you were, ‘Do you use dental White Strips?’”

.   .   .

Jill raises her eyebrows. “You remember that, huh?”

Jack nods. “As though it were a knife in my chest.”

Jill: “You said it even before I caught your name. Whatever were you thinking?”

Jack blushes, clears his throat. “ … That you were hot--my solitary thought.”

.   .   .

Jill smiles. “Thanks, but what’s that got to do with your silly question?”

 Jack gazes at his coffee. “… Perhaps pretty women think men are silly because when we meet you we’re trying so hard to say something intelligent that it invariably comes out stupid.”

Jill smirks. “Would that also explain why you addressed your dental question to my … chest?”

Jill's smart. She doesn't miss much. She knows a thing or two and she's got a good memory :) She's also forgiving and tolerant. Jack's a lucky bloke.
