EVE
This is my daughter Denise's room in my three story French provincial home! Beautiful, isn't it? We redid the wall paper in here last year. Lily of the valley pattern, from Laura Ashely. Very tasteful. I just love cleaning this room. I have to laugh when I hear about how some wives and mothers resent housework! Ha! The truth of the matter is they don't have the kind of home I do! I mean really, I have everything a mother could hope for. My husband Porter is faithful and hard working and my two children Denise and April are perfectly behaved. Of course, April is a cow, but you can't have everything. As I say, this is Denise's room we're in. Now, this girl is thirteen years old and look, spotless! I barely have to do anything in here. Maybe a little dusting.

NARRATOR
Suddenly Eve notices a little pink book lying on her daughter's perfectly neat makeup counter.

EVE
Oh, look at his. Oh, this is so cute! Denise has started to keep a diary! I ask you is that cute? I bet she just writes the cutest things in here. I'm really tempted. I shouldn't. I bet it's just soooo cute. Well, I think I'm just going to take a little peek. Just an eensy one. Lets' see "Diary of Denise Salotsky. Private. Keep out, this means you! Isn't that cute! "Painful death to all who read further." This is fun! Let's see, "November the 29th: Dear Diary, Julio is just the most amazing man in the universe. "Julio? Who's Julio? "Dear Diary"

DENISE
Julio's just the most amazing man in the universe He's so funny.
Remember last week I told you about those pictures he took of me? Well, we're supposed to be getting them back tomorrow and this is the funny thing, he said,

EVE
"I can't wait to see how those pictures I took of you turn out. I'm really afraid they'll come out over exposed. Ha, ha, ha." What is this? I don't understand. WHO THE HELL IS JULIO?! Let's look at another entry.
December 5th. That's the day I sent her to see Mary Poppins. Good. wholesome, Disney entertainment!

DENISE
Dear Diary, today was a red letter day! I had the big O during Chim Chimeny Chim Chimeny Chim Chim Cheroo!

EVE
WHAT!

DENISE
Julio's amazing! His hands are magic! They turn me into a real woman! I haven't known what it was to be truly alive 'til today! God, I hope things go well at his probation hearing!

EVE
WHAT?!

DENISE
Then Julio and I can go for a drive and explore further our mutual passion!

EVE
(Slamming the diary shut.) Oh my God! My daughter is having mutual passion with someone named Julio! I can't read anymore! I must! "December14th--"
