Tapescript
Woman:So, what are you doing this afternoon, Anna?
Girl:I’m going to the mall with John. He just got his driver’s license.
Woman:I’m sorry. You can’t go with John. I don’t think sixteen-year-olds should be allowed to drive. They aren’t serious enough at that age.
Girl:But I have to go to the mall. Gaby’s getting her ears pierced and I want to watch.
Woman:I don’t think sixteen-year-olds should be allowed to get their ears pierced. They might be sorry later.
Girl:I agree, but it’s fun to watch. Is it OK if we take the bus?
Woman:Well, I guess so.
Girl:Great! I want to buy a new blouse at the mall, too.
Woman:What kind are you going to buy? Maybe I should go with you.
Girl:Aw, Mom. I’m not a child. I think teenagers should be allowed to choose their own clothes.
Woman:Well, I just want to be sure you get something nice.

Closing down by reciting a kid poem
Another kid's poem
There is nothing under the bed
Or on your closet floor,
The monster is inside your head
Don't worry anymore.
It'll be there every night
In your dreams to give you fright
Every time you turn off the light
As long as you believe it.
There is no monster on the stairs
Nor anywhere down the hall
This old house just settles at night
You hear the creaks, that's all
You think you see a dragon peek
Through the window with a fang-ed beak
And that's why you can't go to sleep
As long as you believe it.
Mama loves you, daddy, too
And you will grow up tall
Nothing's going to happen to you
We'll take care of it all.
You will be a fine young man
A brave little boy who never ran
Whatever you want to do, you can
As long as you believe it.
So listen to me now, you pooh
It's off to sleep right now with you.
Daddy knows what you can do
As long as you believe it.
