BORINGEST. GHOST. EVER.
A children’s monologue
By Tara Meddaugh
Ayla, 4-10 years old, is frustrated that her middle-of-the-night visitor won’t play with her, talk until the wee hours of the night with her, or even tell her what her name is. Instead, this girl in the ripped-up old dress just keeps standing there. Staring at Ayla. Being the boringest ghost she’s ever seen.

AYLA
Why do you always come to my room if you never want to play? I have so much stuff to do in here, and I even got a new Lego set I haven’t opened yet, and we could stay up all night and no one would know!
(pause)
But you won’t talk to me. Or even sing!
(pause)
Are you gonna at least tell me your name tonight? So I don’t have to keep calling you ‘girl in the ripped up old dress?’ —END OF EXCERPT. CLICK BELOW for the complete 1-minute children’s monologue, BORINGEST. GHOST. EVER.
