Last Night's Paper
by Anne Waters

Everyone wants last night's paper.

Father wants the market report, Mother wants to cut out a recipe, Anita a current event, and Lenore needs it for the rainfall report for her physics class.

But the boys have hidden it, after cutting out a Lonely Hearts ad.

Too shy to date, they plan an experiment.

Their discussion of what they like in girls, and their phone conversations answering the ad are a riot of laughs.
