In this short scene, we learn that the mother of a young child has promised that she will come to the child's play date. The child is delighted to hear that her mother will be at the play date, but the mother is upset that she has to go to work early on Saturday to participate in a parent-child activity at the school. When the mother asks her husband to go instead, he is on business and will not be back until the following week. The mother is also upset because she has never participated in a play date with her child before, and she cannot bear the thought of letting her child down again. She also learns that the family will be going on a two day trip to a nearby town, and the mother and her husband will be joining them.
