Part 6 of The Wee Child Series

Miss Marcie is sitting on the couch in her office collating some scripts. The wee child is dancing as if nobody is watching.

Miss Marcie: That is quite a dance you’re doing there wee child.

Wee Child: Fank you Miss Marcie!

Miss Marcie: Is there a name for that dance?

Wee Child: I have to fink about that (she takes a moment) It’s name is Steve.

Miss Marcie: Steve? Any particular reason why it’s called that?

Wee Child: There is this boy at school who has a glass eye and if you give him a dollar he’ll take it out. Nobody has done it so he might be lying.

Not the Actual Steve…But come on…How cute is he?

Miss Marcie: What does that have to do with the dance:

Wee Child: His name is Steve.

Miss Marcie: Ok

Wee Child: Are you a good dancer Miss Marcie?

Miss Marcie: I like to think I have some moves.

Wee Child: Can I see?

This is how I imagine mysef when I dance…don’t judge

Miss Marcie busts out her best middle aged jewish girl free style moves. The wee child stands up and blows on a whistle that she has around her neck and starts making furious hand movements.

Wee Child: STOP DROP AND ROLL!!!!

Miss Marcie: What?

Wee Child: How many fingers am I holding up?

Miss Marcie: 3…but I don’t know what this has to do with my dancing.

Wee Child: Just stay calm. I am going to call 911. I know how. They taught me in school last week after I fell down and cut my knee so bad that you could see my white blood cells. I got first aid safety lessons

Miss Marcie: I’m sorry that happened to you. But we’re both okay. Why did you want to call 911?

Wee Child: You were having a seizure.

Miss Marcie: When?

Wee Child: Just now.

Miss Marcie: Oh no wee child I was just dancing.

Wee Child: Miss Marcie I don’t fink you should dance anymore.

Miss Marcie: But I like to dance.

Wee Child: But what if someone sees you and they call 911 and the ambulance comes and gives you a heart transplant and then touches your Bagina.

Unless it’s him…just sayin…

Miss Marcie: That couldn’t happen wee child.

Wee Child: DON”T LIE TO ME MISS MARCIE. It could happen. I saw it on Grays Anatomy.

Miss Marcie: Okay fine calm down I won’t dance. I do not want someone to get confused or give me a heart transplant by mistake.

Wee Child: Or touch your Bagina?

Ummm…

Miss Marcie: No worries there wee child…nobody has ever wanted to do that after seeing me dance.
