Ha ha, Beth...this is hysterical and genius!
So relatable and well written. You did not mention how loud the ice maker is.
So many funny parts to this. You really drink microwave heated coffee? Yuk! Is that only to save time or $ too?
Our coffee is done in 30 seconds. Anyway, I find this exceptional writing.
You do have one place to fix:
"Now *it lunch time."
(Now it's lunch time)

Thank you so much for the delightful comments. Yes I do drink it microwaved, but by have extremely strong and adding water, I can't tell in from fresh and it saves a lot of time. You probably use the keurig. They are fast but I don't like coffee made that way as well as the way I make it. I really appreciate all the stars.

Well, we do buy organic Kureig type pods from Aldi for $5 for 12. We have a coffee maker stored away that makes coffee just as fast.
Anyway...your post was a blast and ingenious!

Then you drinking the same thing I am. There is a coffee concentrate in those pods when mixed with water it taste fresh. I make my on concentrate and it is a lot cheaper than buying the pods. LOL

My ice maker just grunted when I tried and it was frozen. Later in when dropped Ice cubes it sounded like someone was in the house with me.

Lol...I know exactly what you mean.

I love your scripts, Beth! This was so fun and imaginative and yes, sometimes, I do think those appliances are talking to each other when we sleep!
Comment/Question:
She seldom uses my eyes either. (what are the oven's eyes?) We call them "burners." So thanks for teaching me what you call them!

Thank you so much for the review and comments. You know eyes is probably an old southern espression. I think I will change it to burner. It might make better sense to people. I forget not every one is a from the south.
Comment from Judy Lawless
This is hilarious, Beth! I understand your frustration and can imagine it happening when you fend for only yourself in the kitchen now. We do tend to ignore our appliances at times. lol
One spag: I need a cube ice.

Comment from pome lover
A very original idea, appliances talking to each other and ganging up on the neglectful human.
Sometimes I think my old toaster oven is testing my patience by taking so long to toast a piece of bread. I finally stop watching it and of course, it burns the toast.
Cute script. (and you've reminded me to check the ice maker. thanks. :)

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
Haha, what a fun script, Beth. I enjoyed reading it. I could see everything as I read. I agree those 'things' seem to happen at the least opportune time. You did a great job with the POV of each appliance. Sometimes, it seems, we become so used to our routine that every little thing that goes wrong becomes HUGE.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Thank you Jan. I had no idea how people would see this. I was hoping I wouldn't be locked away from conversing with my appliances. I'm glad you like it.

You need to get out more, Beth. Maybe a nice walk would help you get a grip. LOL This isolation has been hard on all of us so hang in there, Call your kids. Write a poem. Cute Script. Nancy:)

Nancy, I'm pretty sure you are right. When you have to resort to conversing with your appliances, you are in pretty deep trouble.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Oh, Beth, that was fabulous. I loved that the apliances helped each other out. I will take more notice of mine in future. Lol. I can understand that the lady of the house sinks into the warm up mode, not using the things she did when her husband was alive. When my first husband died, my kids suffered for a while, all quick stuff. They they started to moan and I realised what I was doing. Had I not had children to look after, I would probably never have cooked again. So, I'm totally pleased that the micro helped his mates out, in doing so, he helped the lady out too. Well done, this was a brilliant story and the script was perfect. :)) Sandra xxx

Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
Absolutely brilliant. A tour de force of hilarity--ingenious rendering of dialog from POV of conspiratorial kitchen appliances. You should have entered this in a script contest. Great backstory in notes re the inspiration!

Thank you for this review. I've not written many scripts and I still need two more to even be recognized in this catagory. I'm glad you for it funny.
Comment from barbara.wilkey
We're having roving brown outs. We never know when we're going to have full power so doing anything with electricity is interesting. I enjoyed reading your script.
I have food in me growing green moss on top. (So does my refrigerator. One of my chores since retiring is to clean it out. LOL)
