Children: (They keep on playing and laughing) Hello!

Woman: (She's not the least bit stern) I'd like to have a word with you, if you don't mind.

Children stop playing and look at her, they're expressions saying, "Did we do something wrong?" 

Woman:
I couldn't help but notice the way you treated those kids, you know, the ones who asked if they could play with you.

They all look at each other, surprised, but not guilty.

Woman: Was there something wrong with them?

Again, they look each other.  Finally one child answers the woman's question…

MIME
Kids use large hand/arm movements for emphasis.  Their expressions show their disgust.

Child #1:
One kid had GIGANTIC feet!

Woman: (Nods slowly) No doubt about it.  He could have passed for a circus clown!

Child #2: Did you see that girl's nose?  It was huge!

Woman:  Yes, almost as large as Texas!

Kids nod their agreement…

Child #3: One of 'em wore glasses

Woman: (Chuckles) Indeed!  Reminded me of a housefly! 

Kids giggle.

Woman: (Points to child #1) Lucky for you, you weren't born with gigantic feet. (To child #2) And what a blessing it is to have a dinky little nose like yours! (To child #3) And you!  I'll bet your vision is 20/20!  You'll probably never have to wear glasses, will you?  (He shakes his head vigorously)

Now the woman becomes very serious.

Woman: I know someone really important who accepts those kids just as they are. As a matter of fact, He wouldn't change one single, solitary thing about them. He actually loves them exactly as they are.

Child #2: (Incredulous) Who? 

Woman: God.

A few of the kids lower their eyes and look guilty.  Others look very perplexed. Others stand tall and defiant. 

Woman: God made them, you know. He fashioned them with His own hands. Each one of them is fearfully and wonderfully made! The Bible tells us that God loves his children with an everlasting love.

Long silence…
