Mother Knows Best
Book, lyrics and music by Andrew Underberg

Synopsis:
Mother and her two children, Laura and Justin, have escaped the debauchery of her husband and city life by moving to the boonies. Although Mother immediately finds solace in the trees, Laura is disgusted by the rural lifestyle and Justin discovers just how much he needs his father. While Mother is hiking, a flamboyant new friend advises the children on how best to talk some sense into their obstinately conservative mother, and when that plan fails, he takes matters in his own by reeducating Laura and Justin on the definition of sexual deviancy. During the course of this lesson, the children unwittingly discover that their mother is, in fact, the “biggest freak of all”.
