A play in one act

Inspired by Monday's episode of How I Met Your Mother.

Shannon: They have an intervention banner! We should have interventions. We can have two interventions for Jack, two weeks in a row and then he will kill us, so we'll have to hold off. And we can do 'yay, interventions! {jazz hands}'

Andrea: Only if we can have a banner! And it should have exclamation points before and after the word 'intervention.' And the ones before it should be upside down! And there should be {jazz hands} on the banner! And we can have interventions for everything. For the 'yay, ________ {jazz hands},' for watching too much Keeping Up With the Kardashians, reading too much garbage, for having too much actual garbage in here... We would get to the point where we needed an intervention because we have too many interventions really quickly. Saturation point, we're on our way!

Shannon: Yeah...

Andrea: I got way too excited and specific about that, didn't I?

Shannon: Umm...

Andrea: Yeah, we just shouldn't even start having interventions. It can only end in heartache.

But what about an intervention for jazz hands?

I agree.... let's make a banner, Ashley, and next time we see Andrea we'll have heartfelt letters with pictures on the front of hands and little movement marks with a slash through them. :0) I really think the banner is what makes the intervention hit home.

Yeah, a jazz hands intervention was first in my list of possible interventions. Although I was wondering who would intervene, since Shannon started it. I am hurt that you guys don't like it when I'm enthusiastic about things... ;)

We love the enthusiasm, Andrea, just not the expression of said enthusiasm.
