The love between them is demonstrated through the song her mom sings to Claire and eventually to Claire''s own child, ?You Are My Sunshine.?

The "grumpy old man" from Saturday Night Live complains about the need for any kind of well-thought out answers to the question of origins. "In my day we were just satisfied we were alive... nobody asked if you were a pro-creationist. If you were married, you were pro-creationists...in my day, you didn''t have explanations for dinosaurs. Whenever we saw a reptile we immediately turned it into a nice handbag or a belt. If dinosaurs had been real we''d have made really big handbags and belts." You get the point. A humorous spoof of people who have bad reasons for what they believe about where we came from, and a great drama to disarm tensions about this issue.Topics: CREATIONS VS.

Newlyweds Julie and David drop by to visit Julie''s Aunt Lorraine. She is a quirky woman, going on incessantly about her diabetes and ignoring the conversation while watching "Wheel of Fortune." When they finally leave, David mutters a comment about how his mother also has diabetes but doesn''t sit around feeling sorry for herself all day. Julie knows she''s hard to like, but tries to give perspective-Aunt Lorraine''s husband and daughter were killed in a car accident 18 years ago. David can only whisper "wow" as they walk off, leaving Aunt Lorraine alone watching her TV.Topics: LOVING THE UNLOVELY, THE STORY BEHIND PEOPLE WE DON''T LIKECharacters: 1 MALE, 2 FEMALESParticipants: 3Author: Donna Lagerquist
