911 - Comedy

A frantic woman shows up at a police station to file a missing person's report.  "Alice Moore has been missing for maybe 3 or 4 years," the woman claims.  The officer is at once suspicious and begins asking questions about Alice's disappearance. "Why didn't you report this earlier?" he asks the woman.  Her reply was, "I figured she'd come back eventually, but she didn't."  The woman then goes on to tell how Alice lived a carefree life full of hobbies and interests, but that it all seemed to change after she had children.  When the woman finally shows the officer a picture of Alice, the officer wants to know if this is all a bad joke, because the woman reporting Alice missing, is none other than Alice, herself.

Angela, a modern day "every woman," is petitioning to be included in the Hall of Fame, but the Board is hesitant to let her "in" until they know of her qualifications. The Board's idea of Hall of Fame material, is a "Leave it to Beaver" type of mother, but Angela insists that every mother is special and deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. She says, "All moms are extraordinary.  Not because of what we do, if we work or don't work, if we're married or single, if we have 1 child or 10...what makes us special is who we are: the fact that we love our children and do our best to raise them." The Board seems skeptical at first but Angela eventually wins them over, and for a moment even both Sarah and Hagar find something in the other to admire: they're both moms.
