Kids Explain Adult Problems
By: Josephine Foglia
Scene 1:
Baby 1: *(giggling)* “So, like, the Earth is getting all hot and stuff, right?”
Baby 2: *(nodding earnestly)* “Yeah! And the ice is melting, like my ice cream on a sunny day!”
Baby 1: “And the animals are like, ‘Where’s my home?'”
Baby 2: “Yeah! Like the polar bears! They need their ice to slide and play!”
Baby 1: “And we gotta plant more trees! Trees are like, super cool!”
Baby 2: “Yeah! Trees give us air to breathe, and they’re fun to climb!”
Baby 1: “So, we gotta tell the grown-ups to help the Earth!”
Baby 2: “Yeah! Fewer cars, more bikes! And more hugs for trees!”
Both babies: *(giggle together)* “Save the planet, it’s our playground!”
