Scene 3 Flashcards
(Alright.) from scene 2
From that day, I began to have a childhood. The Hazard Club was banned by our parents when Theresa accidentally turned her hair blue. Sarah had kissed a boy for a dare, found out she liked it, and was now going to have his baby.
In short, rather to our surprise, we suddenly discovered that we were women.
SARAH: Bleeeuuurghghh
Thomas Corder tried to kiss me yesterday, behind the Red Barn.
PHOEBE: What did you do?
Told him no, of course. He makes me feel queasy.
THERESA: But they rent all the fields.
I don’t want a field. He can barely hold a conversation.
PHOEBE: It don’t matter, if she don’t like him, that’s that.
Thing is, money’s tight at home. I mean, really tight.
SARAH: I’d rather have a decent vegetable patch.
We have a house full of children, and my father has been laid off.
We could not buy new clothes that year.
We started to run out of food.
