Chapter 1: "Filmed Before a Live Studio Audience"

I was helping my mom cleaning the dishes and putting them in order. When dad entered and mom accidentally broke a plate with his head

– My wife and daughter with their flying saucers – Dad said

– My husband and his indestructible head – mom replied

– Hi Dad – I said passing by his said and giving him a kiss on the cheek

– morning, sweetheart – Dad said in respond

– Aren't we a fine family? – Dad asked, mom repaired the plate

– what do you say to silver dollar pancakes, crispy hash brown, bacon, eggs, freshly squeezed orange juice, and black coffee? – mom asked dad

– I say, "Oh, I don't eat food" – dad answered

– well that explains the empty refrigerator – Mom said opening and closing the refrigerator

– Wanda? Is there something special about today? – Dad asked

– Well, I know the apron is a bit much, dear, but I am doing my best to blend in – Mom said
– no, no, there the calendar. Someone's drawn a little heart right above today's date – Dad explained

– was it you, Bells? – dad asked me

– I thought it was you, Mom – I answered

– Oh, yes, the heart – Mom said

– well, don't tell me you have forgotten, Vis – Mom said

– "Forgotten"? Oh, Wanda, I'm incapable of forgetfulness. I remember everything. That's not an exaggeration. In fact, I'm incapable of exaggeration – Dad explained

– Well, then tell me what's so important about today's date – Mom asked

– what was the question again? – Dad asked

– incapable of forgetfulness – I mumble under my breath

– Oh, well, perhaps, you've forgotten yourself – Dad said

– Me? Heavens, no. I've been so looking forward to it – Mom said

– As have I – Dad replied

– Today, we are celebrating... – Dad started

– You bet we are. It's the first time we... have ever celebrated this occasion before – Mom said

– It's a especial day! – Dad guessed

– Perhaps an evening... – Mom said

– of great significance – Dad continued

– to us three! – Mom said

– naturally – Dad continued

– obviously – Mom told

– exactly – Dad ended, then they both kissed

– well done us – dad said separating

– what in heavens, just happened? – I asked

– I don't know. All right. Well, that's me off to work, then – Dad said, taking his suitcase

– Oh, don't forget! – Mom said

– I haven't – said Dad putting on his hat. Mom did an expression with her hands

– Oh – dad said chuckling. Dad moved his head side to side, then his robot self, transformed quickly into his human self. Dad blow a kiss in the air, Mom catch it
