This was originally written way back in 1998.
9 years before my son was born; but his name happened to be the first name I picked for this skit.
The other character was called John, but as Adam has a friend called Jake, I changed it to that.
I seriously hope this skit is something they will never act out, or anything similar, but some days I do wonder….
| Adam | Nope, that wont work either. |
| Jake | What wont work? |
| Adam | This. I’m trying to use a fork this time. |
| Jake | No luck? |
| Adam | Nope, it wont work with the fork. I’m sure you were wrong. |
| Jake | Try using something else, there must be another way to do it. |
| Adam | Are you sure? I think using the knife was the only way. |
| Jake | Of course you can, there must be more than one way. |
| Adam | I dunno, I’m sure that was the only way. |
| Jake | Here, try this knife instead. |
| Adam | No. I think that would still be the same way. It has to be done a different way. Not just with a different size knife. |
| Jake | Well, you would really need something sharp. These other kitchen utensils just wont do. |
| Adam | Yeah, I tried the fish slice first. |
| Jake | Any luck? |
| Adam | No luck at all. |
| Jake | Well as I said there is more than one way. |
| Adam | Hmmm….. I wonder if boiling it, and then peeling it off will work. |
| Jake | It has to be worth a try. I’ll go and get a saucepan, you get another one of them. |
| Adam | That’s going to take some time. I’ll see if I can find another method to be getting on with. |
| Jake | Shall I put it in before the water boils or after? |
| Adam | Hmmm …. put two on we can try it both ways. |
| Jake | Okay, good idea. I hope this works. |
| Adam | Yes. This is a lot of work just to check if a saying is true. |
| Jake | I am sure it is. |
| A little time passes. | |
| Adam | Well the water has boiled. I’ll put the other one in. |
| Jake | Okay, I can’t wait to see the results. |
| Adam | Me neither. |
| A little more time passes. | |
| Jake | It looks like they’re done. |
| Adam | Okay. You take one and I’ll do the other. |
| Jake | Coo, it’s peeling off really easily. |
| Adam | Yes, this one too. |
| Jake | Well it is true then. There really is more than one way to skin a cat. |
