-'Hello, Hugo.'

-Hello, Lily.

'Hello, Hugo.'

Hello, Felix.

How big is my family?

'Ooh, that's a tough question, Hugo.'

'Depends on how many people are in it.'

'I'm guessing, that's your mum

'and that's your dad.'

'Yes. And that's your big sister.

'And your little sister too.'

Huh?

I've never seen you before.

Huh?

I just wanted to hang out with you.

THEY LAUGH

There are four people

living in my house.

But is it just my mum and dad

and sister who are my family?

'She lives with her granny.

'That's family.'

GRANNY LAUGHS

THEY LAUGH

'He's having a day out with his mother's brother.'

'That's an uncle.'

'Even though they don't live together, he's family too.

WATER SPLASHES

Aw!

Aha!

THEY GRUNT AND LAUGH

-Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow!

-ALL: Pow!

'And he plays with his aunt and uncle's children.'

'They're called cousins.'

'And they're family as well.'

I don't know who you are.

Have you seen Hugo?

-MUM:

-Gather together. That's it.

You in the front.

So, all my grannies and granddads, uncles,

aunts and cousins are in my family.

-OFF-SCREEN:

-Smile, please.

DOG BARKS

'And all of them had dads and mums...'

'And grans and granddads...'

'And aunts and uncles...'

'And cousins...'

'..who are all family too.'

Looks like a family tree.

DOG BARKS

Down, boy.

You can't climb trees.

THEY LAUGH

He lives with me.

'Maybe pets can be family too.'

So, can I choose who is in my family?

'I think that's the place where you can choose

'who's going to be in your family.'

'That's silly.'

Now, who do I need next?

Buy me, Hugo. Buy me!

'You can't buy a family, Hugo.

'They just turn up.

'Like you did for your big sister.'

But I helped choose my dog.

-DOG BARKS

-Huh?

-DOG BARKS

-Hey!

'Hugo's mum chose his dad and they chose to make a family.'

'Maybe one day, Hugo will choose that too.'

I'll make a family?

'Like a family made you.

'And there's lots more family to come.'

Oh!

-But, will my family...?

-There you are!

Hmph!

-'I think she likes you, Hugo.'

-Huh?

'Looks like you've been chosen.'

THEY LAUGH

But will my family go on for ever?

What do you think?
