A Christmas comedy sketch

Characters

Marjory Jacobs: Chairwoman of the meeting. Her calm manner is extremely welcome in a rather tense meeting.

David Hunter: The father of Joey Hunter. His approach to parenthood (spoiling his son rotten) has turned Joey into a little horror, but according to him, his precious son can do no wrong.

Cordelia Smyth: Here, here. I couldn’t agree more, Marjory...
