Post Secret: I went to a costume party dressed in The New Testament to SPITE my fundamentalist mother.

Lights come on YOUNG WOMAN bouncing down the stairs. She is going to a costume party. Her costume is a white halter top, and white mini skirt, with pages from The New Testament sewn onto it. MOM is in a rocking chair embroidering a cushion. MOM looks up when YOUNG WOMAN bounds down the stairs.

MOM
[Shocked, then angry]
What are you wearing?!

YOUNG WOMAN
[fake pleasant]
I'm going as The New Testament mother. I thought you would like it.

MOM
That is blasphemy! You go upstairs right now and pray the lord for his forgiveness!

YOUNG WOMAN
Hmm... How about... no.

MOM
You do as I say. "Honor thy father and mother!" Haven't you ever heard that?

YOUNG WOMAN
[searching her costume, pointing to a page]
Yeah, I have it right here mother.

MOM
You take that off, or God will damn your soul.

YOUNG WOMAN
Oh, I just can't mother, I don't have time to change, I'm going to be late for the party. [kissing MOM on the cheek] I'll be back... oh... I don't know. [starting to exit] I'll be back when I'm back. [grabbing her purse] Don't worry, I won't drink, and I have protection.

YOUNG WOMAN exits, MOM is left shocked, she recovers and is furious. She sits down, and furiously embroiders her cushion. Lights fade.
