9 (JMG1238) SAMMIE: OLIVIA: KATE: SAMMIE: KATE: SAMMIE: GRAM: SAMMIE: KATE: (ZACH and KJ enter stage left, ZACH carrying books, and KJ carrying a soccer ball) GRAM: KATE: ZACH: KATE: GRAM: KATE: KJ: GRAM: ZACH: GRAM: OLIVIA: GRAM: KATE: * Or, SAMMIE can join the choir for the time being to sing the next songs before re-entering the scene later. I get it! You're talking about relatives, like when we had that big family reunion last summer. (speaking with authority) Yes, but it also includes ancestors. We're going to trace our ancestry—our heritage. We may discover that some members of our family were quite renowned. Yeah, maybe even famous! I'll help, Kate. (to GRAM, ignoring Sammie) Were there any famous people in our family, Gram? I'll help! Maybe she could help, Kate. (to KATE) Let me help. Please! I can do lots of things. Okay, okay. See if you can find us some paper in Gram's office. (SAMMIE happily exits stage right* and KATE calls after her) And it needs to be big! Hi Zach. Hi KJ. (to ZACH and KJ) Hi guys. You're just in time.

(He and KJ move things around on the table and set the cellphone in the middle) (to GRAM) Well? Well, what? Start talking. Tell us about the McKees. Yes, how many children were there in your family? There were 6 of us. (All gasp) And we lived on a farm. A farm? Did you have to milk cows? Yes, indeed! We kids took turns. Robert was the oldest, then there was James. He was a colonel in the army, you know. Then me, and… Wait a second. Move that phone closer to Mrs. McKee. We want this to be as accurate as possible. My goodness, we certainly didn't have cellphones when I was young. Well, what was it like when you were young?
