Japan

Scene opens. Amelia is sitting eating her breakfast. Mom is in kitchen fixing coffee.

Amelia: "Hey Mom, we don't live in Japan."
Mom: "That's true. We live in the United States."
Amelia: "Who lives in Japan?"
Mom: "Japanese people."
Amelia: "Who are Japanese people?"
Mom (after long pause): "People who live in Japan."
Amelia: "Ahh..."

After feeling like she now knows the nature of the universe, Amelia returns to her breakfast with a great sense of satisfaction.

Scene ends.
