Scene Opening:

Camera slowly zooms in on the narrator's face. A dim light flickers overhead. The sound of a distant clock ticking fills the background. The narrator speaks softly, almost detached:

“I’ve never broken anything. Not an arm, not a leg. But someone was determined to change that. Someone made sure I did.”

The narrator stands at the checkout, sorting through their items. A grocery store aunt, with her graying hair pulled back in a tight bun, looks over at them. She’s been through it all. Her eyes flicker, just for a second, with a kind of knowing.

Aunt (matter-of-factly):

“That’s life.”

The words hit the narrator like a slap, an offhand comment from someone who’s lived it all, and suddenly it feels like they’re seeing the world for what it is. Not a fairytale, not a promise—just life, with all its cracks and bruises. 

Make your own luck!


Three Sisters Reunion – The Garden Special

[Scene opens in a cozy community garden.]

Corn walks in, tall and elegant, swaying gently like a pageant queen.
Corn: “Well, well, if it isn’t my climbing companion and my leafy little shade queen!”

Beans swings in like the cool younger sibling, twirling a vine.
Beans: “Still standing tall, huh Corn? You’d be nothing without me hooking you up with that sweet nitrogen fix!”

Zucchini rolls up wearing oversized sunglasses and dramatic leaves.
Zucchini: “Darlings, let’s not fight. I keep the drama down—literally. You know I’ve got us covered.”

Audience laughs.

Host (probably a potato or tomato): “So tell us, after all these years, how did you keep the bond alive?”

Corn: “Teamwork. I gave them a lift.”
Beans: “I gave us nutrients.”
Zucchini: “I gave us shade—and attitude.”

Crowd goes wild. Emotional music swells.

Beans tears up: “We grew together... literally.”

[Cue a flashback montage of sunny fields, storms weathered, and pests avoided.]

Host: “Coming up next: Broccoli confronts Brussels Sprouts—are they really cousins? Stay tuned.”
