ALEX
( Mom notices he ’ s unhappy . She smiles and tries to brighten the mood )
MOM Do you remember when you first asked me to teach you piano ? Your tiny little hands trying to press the keys .
( Mom mimics tiny hands trying to play piano . Alex laughs softly .)
You were always so curious .
MOM
( She lightly caresses his face . Another spotlight is shined to show a piano where Young Mom is seated . She plays a small / soft tune when a Young Alex enters . He runs over to her . Mom and Alex have now turned their attention to the scene that is taking place beside them . As if they are watching a distant memory .)
Mom ! Mom ! Mom !!
Yes , Alex ?
What are you doing ?
