the death of a flower in three acts


ACT ONE: THEY MEET

Cayla: Hmmm. This flower looks pretty. I wonder if it would fit in my mouth!
Flower: Back off, little girl. You don't want to mess with me. Got $100 on ya? Didn't think so.
Cayla: Are you kiddin' me? My Dad's a teacher and my Mom's a social worker. We got plenty of money to spare.
Flower: I don't like that crazy look in your eye!



ACT TWO: THE CONFLICT

Cayla: Maybe I'll just try and grab you... there! Just. Like. That.
Flower: (struggling) Let me go! Don't you know who I am??? 



ACT THREE: RESOLUTION

Cayla: Ah!! Just as fun as I thought!!
Flower: Stop! I'm not made for teething!!! 
Cayla: Hey, if I have to wear this silly thing on my head, I'm gonna at least have fun.
Flower: Fair enough. (sigh) Go ahead.
