Yankee Doodle

The following scene played out yesterday afternoon.  Last night David and I lay in bed cracking up over what a goof our kid is. 


INT. CAR - PARKING LOT OUTSIDE WHOLE FOODS - AFTERNOON

DADDY and FLORA sit in the car waiting for MOMMY to return with avocados. Daddy
rolls the windows down with the controls to his left. Flora does not see him do it.

FLORA
Hey, who rolled those windows down?

DADDY
I don't know, Flora. I think it was that guy.

Daddy points to a DUDE with a FEDORA walking by with a few OTHER PEOPLE. The dude's
got a feather in his hat.

FLORA
What guy?

DADDY
That guy.

FLORA
That guy with the black hat?

DADDY
Yeah, him. He did it. I think he's
shifty.

FLORA
He rolled the windows down?

DADDY
Yup. He's got a feather in his hat. That
means he's shifty.

FLORA
A feather?

DADDY
Uh huh. Flora, when you get older you're not
allowed to date dudes with feathers in their hats.

FLORA
Like Yankee Doodle?

DADDY
Yeah. Especially him. That Yankee Doodle is real shifty.


Thanks to David for writing that out for me since I didn't actually witness the hilarity.
