DAUGHTER
Lady ’Stache Off. Isn’t that what you use to sanitize our toilets?
MOM
(laughing) It does both! And now, with new Lady ’Stache Off’s triple beauty action™, you can moisturize and self-tan while you rip that unsightly hair from every pore.
DAUGHTER
Wow! (biting lip) Does new Lady ’Stache Off with triple beauty action™ hurt?
MOM
Oh, honey, of course it hurts! Beauty is pain. But you don’t want to look like a troll, do you?
DAUGHTER
Mom!
MOM
It’s more than that, sweetheart. Every time you use new Lady stache off with triple beauty action™, you’ are contributing to our ecoonomy, our way of life. Don’t you want to be a contributor to our economy? Don’t you want to make sure we can have bikinis, cable, and p**n ? What are you, a communist?
DAUGHTER
Mo-o-om!
MOM
(Smiling and hugging)
Of course not! You’re my eager-to-please teenage daughter with a hair maintenance problem, and I am your sympathetic mom here to help you. In addition to new Lady ’Stache Off with triple beauty action™, there’s also Lady ’Stache Off Organic with bonus buffing pad.
DAUGHTER
There’s an organic hair remover?
MOM
No. Not really. But don’t you love the package? Look, it has butterflies.
