A new angle on an old groaner

INT LIVING ROOM - DAY

ZOOMED IN ON THE TELEVISION, WHERE A HOME-VIDEO STYLE SCENE FROM A NATIVITY PLAY IS RUNNING, SHOWING A SMALL CHILD DRESSED AS AN ANGEL
ITALIAN DAD(PROUDLY)(OOV):

Look-a at my little angle, isn't it-a-cute.

MURMUR OF AGREEMENT FROM THE GATHERED FAMILY

CAMERA ZOOMS OUT, WE SEE THE FAMILY GATHERED ROUND THE TV WATCHING AVIDLY, THE DAD HAS A LONG BEARD AND IS DRESSED IN ROBES. HE IS SITTING ON THE SOFA AND IS LEANING OVER A DRAWING BOARD ON THE COFFEE TABLE ON WHICH IS DRAWN VITRUVIAN MAN. HE IS HOLDING A PROTRACTOR OVER THE DRAWING.

HIS WIFE TURNS TO HIM AND GESTURES WILDLY:

WIFE:

Leonardo, why do-a you always have to bring-a your work home?

Sorry :P

Funnier than my groaners.

Glad you found it funny Nigel. Been enjoying your short sketches.
