(Later That Night)
Sarah- Hey I heard your family night with your kids did not go like you planned.
Mom- No, all they want is to leave, or to do something else like date.
Sarah- You finally hit what I call the headache stage of being a parent in this world. It is called a teenager.
Mom- Oh it is so quiet in here. Why do my kids hate me, Sarah? I gave them life.
Sarah- What?

Sarah- You do not have to explain your situation to me, this is your house.
Mom- Thank you for understanding.

Mary- I love you too.

Mom- Oh, so am I a man.
John- No you know what I mean mom.
Mom- I wanted to watch Never say Never by Justin Beiber but it is your choice, I don’t want to make you bored.

Mom- Cake? For what?
John- Mom we may get on your last nerve sometimes, but we will never forget your birthday!
Danny- Jonny, come help me cut the cake.
Lisa- Happy birthday sis.
Mom- Was you in on this too Lisa.
Lisa- I was told if you called while the kids were working, to say that they were here.
Mom-If you remembered that it was my birthday why would you argue with me this morning?
John- Mom you know if I would have said “I am going to Aunt Lisa’s too you would have caught on to what we were doing.”
Mom- I guess you’re right, but I thought you and your sister forgot about my birthday.
John- Not in a million years would we forget you.
Mom- If your dad was here he would be so proud of the mature teens you’ve become.
John-He is here in our hearts momma. He has seen everything
Mom- Wow a little sound of silence might relax my soul, but the love from my family makes me feel whole!

"...If the Thames that ran beside them...recalled a night where the moon shone as brightly as a shilling on the same boy and girl... and thought to themselves, 'at last, the wheel comes full circle,' they kept their silence."

This is good, however, the dialougue is very stiff and unreal. That didn't matter when you actually read it though, because the theme is beautiful. Good job!
