NOVEMBER, 2022
This 433 word roughly 4 minute monologue explores Victoria's strong desire to move in with her fiance ... so long as her mother can come! If you need a two minute version of this monologue, you can cut it after the line "You and I ... and mother" below. -Gabriel Davis

VICTORIA
Moving in with you is a big step. Which is why I’ve decided … to bring my mother. Hear me out.
I have dreamt about what it would be like here with you. Waking in this bed every morning bathed in your love. Gazing into your baby blues yearning for something hot: cappuccino. But who will make it? My mother. That’s who.
Would it be weird having my mom here? I mean not unless you make it weird. Its not like she’d come between us.
Like if mom comes in and we’re spooning it’s not like she’d squeeze in the middle. She’d take an end. I’m kidding. She wouldn’t sleep in our bed. She’d be on the floor holding my hand. Joking!
Mother’s not keeping me warm at night. You totally are. After mother tucks me in.
No cmon! If she were here we’d hardly notice her. She’d spend most of her time in her room making scrapbooks of my accomplishments. I’m not joking about that part. She loves her scrapbooks.
And I can just imagine the scrapbook she’d make of our wedding, which, I might add we can’t afford without a solid plan to save money. Like splitting rent three ways.
(Singing) “Just the three of us. We can make it if we try. Just the three of us. You and I .. and mother.”
But seriously, she’s 65 in a month. We want financial security, we got momma’s social security. We hate doing laundry, she lives for laundry. No time to make dinner? Momma’s cookin’!
She’s not gonna add tension. Think about our married friends whose love is buckling under the stress of trying to balance romance with work and chores and kids? Then think about us…where my mother takes care of everything… and we lock this door and take care of each other.
Baby, romantic love, its fragile. Almost 50% of marriages end in divorce. We need a strong unbreakable unconditional love on our side. A mother’s love. My mother’s love.
And if I’m being really honest. Moving in here is a huge scary step and … I want my mommy.
Look, I know this is a lot. So take your time. Mull it over. Take baby steps. Like, for mothers 65th birthday maybe do something, some little gesture to try and get closer with her like … write her a card telling her why you’re excited to be her son in law and maybe put something nice in the envelope … I don’t know, a gift card to Red Lobster or … the key to your apartment.
