Lupita Nyong’o at the 2014 Oscars

The Oscars are on TV. Marcy and Cynthia are sound asleep. Cynthia is snoring. Marcy is breathing like Darth Vader.  Suddenly a Texas accent cuts through the living room – 

“Alright Alright Alright”

Cynthia and Marcy bolt upright and scream in unison – 

Marcy:  WHY ARE WE BACK IN TOMBALL!?

Cynthia:  WHOSAT!?

They see Matthew McConaughey on the TV accepting his Oscar. They sink back into the sofa, relieved. They yawn.

Marcy:  I’m so bored.

Cynthia:  Well, do you want to look at the Oscar dresses again?

Marcy:  I only liked Lupita Nyong’o.

Cynthia:  Me too! Tonight’s red carpet was a sea of sparkly nude fairy princess dresses and surprisingly messy hair-do’s. Everyone looked like they belonged at a Las Vegas show. Only Lupita Nyong’o looked as though she really was a princess in her sky blue Prada gown with a headband and gorgeous red lips.

Marcy (in love):  She’s so pretty and elegant. Do you think she’d let me be her kitty?

Cynthia:  Hey! What about me?

Marcy looks at Lupita and sees Cinderella at the Ball. She then looks at Cynthia and sees Cinderella in an ugly outfit with broom dustbuster in hand.

Marcy:  Obviously your fairy godmother is on strike. You can call me if she comes back.
