I don't like Drama.

on the way home from school.

Finn: There's a paper in my backpack about drama! The boys in my class don't like drama. The girls do, but the boys don't.

Mom: But you like drama, don't you?

Finn: mumbles

Mom: I thought you liked drama.

Finn: I Don't like drama! Why did you think I like drama?

Mom: You don't like drama?

Finn: No, I don't like drama. I like circus and I like puppet camp, but I don't like drama. It's a lot longer than those things, and I don't like it.

Mom: Finn, that's what I do for my job, drama -

Finn: I know you do! I know YOU like drama, but I don't like drama.

silence

Mom: Well. You know puppet camp was kind of like drama.

Finn: It was??

Mom: Yeah. Making up stories, and pretending things, and puppets, and singing like in the talent show - all of that is like drama.

Finn: Well I like those things, but I don't like that drama that's on the paper, and I don't wanna go 'cause I don't like drama.

Mom: Do you like seeing plays like at the Children's Theatre and stuff?

Finn: Yes. I like seeing drama, but I don't like doing drama.

Mom. Huh.

and we continue our day.
