Alex:  Hey Jared!

 

Jared:  What do you
want? (Scornfully)

 

Alex:  Do you want to
play?

 

Jared:  With you?
Alex Mowar?…Alex Laun Mowar?!

 

Alex:  Yeah…want to play
baseball with me?

 

Jared:  Launny wants to play baseball with me?
Oh ok…(bored and

reluctantly)

 

Alex pitches an invisible ball. Jared hits it. A
ball flies up backstage. Alex dives to catch it. He comes up with grass in his
mouth. One piece is stuck between his buckteeth.

 

Jared:  Ha ha ha!

 

Alex:  (spits out grass) Putooey!!

 

Jared:  (Laughing) Why didn’t your momma call you Alex weed-eater

instead?

Alex:  starts crying and hiccupping and continues
throughout the

show, but
slows down and is normal by the end.

 

Ashli and Evette walk up.

 

Jared:
Hi Ashli! Hi Evette! (innocently)

 

Evette:  Hey! Why is Alex crying?

 

Alex:  He…(hiccup) called…(hiccup)
me…(hiccup)…weed-eater…boo

hoo

 

Ashli:  Why did you call him that Jared?

 

Jared:  Cause he’s just a clumsy little weed-eating
looser.

 

Evette:  Jared, that isn’t nice.

 

Ashli:  Yeah, it isn’t nice to judge people by how
they look or act.

 

Evette:  James 2 says that we should treat everyone
the same whether

they’re
rich or poor; graceful or clumsy; cool or uncool.

 

Ashli:  And God chose the poor, clumsy and uncool people
to live in

his kingdom
because they love God.

 

Evette:  The people who
are rich, graceful or cool think they’re better

than everyone else…

 

Ashli:  …but God said to
love your neighbor as yourself.

 

Jared:  I never thought of
it that way before. God does love everyone

the way they
are…

 

Ashli:  God created
everyone and that’s why everyone is cool to him.

 

Jared: I feel bad…what should I do?

 

Ashli:  Apologize to Alex.

 

Evette: …and to God.

 

Jared:  Alex, I’m really
sorry I called you weed-eater. I’ll never judge

anyone
again.

 

Alex:  That’s ok. I
forgive you. Do you want to play baseball again?

 

Jared:  Sure, but just a
minute…I need to apologize to God first.
