SCENE 1 Susan wants Gordon and the kids to guess the item that she's bought. She gives clues to help them out: she's saved money for it for three months (which doesn't jog Gordon's memory), it's black, made out of metal, glass, and plastic, it clicks, you can't use it in the dark, and people say "Cheese!" with it. The package turns out to be a camera, and Susan gathers everybody for some group photos.
