Discussion, critiques
Bryan: Looking for keys to take his brother to soccer. He calls their mother to see if she knows where they are. His mother is notorious for her wicked sense of humor and flightiness with keys - she constantly loses them in a series of bizarre twists which always winds up getting Bryan injured. They get in an argument when Bryan brings up these zany escapades. He hangs up annoyed but eventually figures out his little brother was sitting on them all along because he likes to see his big brother and his mom fight.
Discussion, critiques.
