Old Photos

INT. LIVING ROOM - DAY

JIM'S MOTHER JOINS JIM'S GIRLFRIEND, PENNY, ON THE SETEE. SHE OPENS A LARGE PHOTOGRAPH ALBUM.

JIM (O.O.V.)
Mum, not the photo album. I'm sure Penny doesn't want to see tatty old pictures of me as a kid.

JIM'S MOTHER
Shush. Of course she does. Aww, look at him there. Isn't he adorable?

WE SEE A SLIGHTLY YELLOWING PHOTO OF A GRINNING BOY OF ABOUT TEN. HE WEARS A HIGHLY PATTERENED TANK TOP OVER A HUGE COLLARED SHIRT, SHORT, SHORT TROUSERS AND SANDALS. HE SPORTS A MULLETESQUE HAIRCUT AND IS STRADDLING A CHOPPER BIKE. IN ONE HAND HE HAS A SET OF CLACKERS AND THE HE GIVES A THUMBS-UP SIGN WITH THE OTHER HAND.

JIM'S MOTHER
He hasn't changed a bit

JIM'S MOTHER AND GIRLFRIEND LOOK UP FROM THE ALBUM.

WE SEE JIM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LIVING ROOM - A GRINNING MAN OF ABOUT FORTY. HE WEARS A HIGHLY PATTERENED TANK TOP OVER A HUGE COLLARED SHIRT, SHORT, SHORT TROUSERS AND SANDALS. HE SPORTS A MULLETESQUE HAIR CUT AND IS STRADDLING A CHOPPER BIKE. IN ONE HAND HE HAS A SET OF CLACKERS AND THE HE GIVES A THUMBS-UP SIGN WITH THE OTHER HAND.

PENNY
No, he hasn't has he.

Nicely put together, but that's a very old joke.

I generally like your thoroughly put together, funny stuff.

But you've definitely written better.

I thought it was funny,not that any one cares of course. It did remind me of the cliche thread on here though. Funny all the same!

It's a nice enough idea but the punchline couldn't have been more obvious.

Must admit it seems familiar to me too (but maybe I'm having a deja vue day). To make it more ridiculous, what about if it's a baby on the fur rug photo they're looking at and the grown man is still on the rug, naked?

Or what about if it's a baby scan they're discussing?

MUM
This is Jimmy at the three month baby scan.

PENNY
Wow, he hasn't changed!

Cut to - JIMMY WHO LOOKS LIKE A GIANT FOETUS.

Actually, I might keep that one myself.....

Cheers for the comments, all. Much appreciated.

I should have known this had been done before. My bad!
