Ted Ned & Jill

Artist: JH - Son

Ned: Hey, Ted, wanna go to Zaphod's tonight?

Ted: Can't. Hafta go to a Board meeting.

Ned: That sucks! Why?

Ted: They wanna know what I'm doing.

Ned: Wha?

Ted: Yeah, they wanna know where I work and what I make.

Ned: Wow - that's never happened to me.

Ted: Yeah, that's 'cause your folks aren't on a subsidy.

Ned: What's that?

Ted: Don't know. But my folks said that they'll always be on my case.

Ned: Not me, man. I'm going tree planting in B.C. this summer. Wanna come?

Ted: Can't. My folks said that if I go away, even for awhile, the co-op will make 'em move.

Ned: Freakin' weird, man. I do what I wanna do. No one says nothin'. I moved out last year, but hit the skids. My Old Man paid for my bus ticket to come back home. I'm doing gigs now and a helluv a lot of sleepin'. It's awesome to be home, man!

Ted: Wish it would be the same for me. Well, I gotta go. See ya ...

Ned: Be cool man, don't let 'em get you down. That sucks man, that sucks!

Jill: MOM, I don't wanna go to the Board meeting again. It's really creepy. They ask me all kinds of weird questions. Sherrie says they think I'm hot or something. MOM, people are watching me ALL the time. I gotta get out of here!

One co-op. Three kids. Two realities.
