Wordsmith: DOCK

MID-MORNING, at the ZOO. A MOTHER holds her DAUGHTER up so she can see over the fence in front of the SEA LION POOL:

DAUGHTER
(pointing at the flat wooden structure floating in the middle of the pool)
What's that, Mommy?

MOTHER
It's a dock, honey.

DAUGHTER
A tock?

MOTHER
A dock.

DAUGHTER
A dick?

MOTHER
(laughing)
A dock.

DAUGHTER
A tick?

MOTHER
A dock, honey, DOCK.

DAUGHTER
A tock?

REPEAT until SUNSET.

I have a hunch about this one. It's gonna be the feel-good comedy of the year.
