SAMPLE -- My Name is the Perfect Mother
Moderator -- Welcome to "The Truth of the Matter!" (If you want to have a little fun with this have someone cross the stage holding up an "APPLAUSE" sign. You can find other times that this will be appropriate – I leave that to you!) I'd like you to meet today's panelists: Well-known Christian author and commentator, Dr. James Doberman! (DJD waves. Use Jill instead of James if you have a woman). Eminent Psychologist and author, Dr. Benjamin (or Brenda) Sparkle! (DBS waves) And the witty columnist and author Erma (or Ernie) Bombast (EB waves). Thank you, panelists. Are you ready to meet today's contestants? Here they are!
The three contestants enter and take their place center stage.
Moderator -- What is your name, please?
#1 -- My name is The Perfect Mother
#2 -- My name is The Perfect Mother
#3 -- My name is The Perfect Mother
Moderator -- Each contestant claims to be The Perfect Mother. Let's see if our panelists can determine the truth. Dr. Doberman, we will begin the questions with you.
DJD -- Mother #1, your child demands a bowl of ice cream when dinner will be ready in 15 minutes. What do you do?
#1 -- Hey, as long as he cleans it up and stays out of my way, let him have it.
DJD -- #2?
#2 -- Ice cream is milk, right? I'd serve him milk anyway, wouldn't I? So, it'd be okay? Yes? No?
DJD -- #3?
#3 -- Patience is a virtue. I'd tell him to wait until after dinner and ask again. But no promises, because I'd want him to eat his dinner first.
DJD -- Mother #2. Your son stays out all-night, driving around and partying. He doesn't call or go to school the next day. What do you do?
#2 -- I'd make sure he had enough money before he left, it's not polite to borrow from friends. And he'd be so tired I could understand having to miss school, wouldn't you? It's important to relate to your children.
DJD -- #3?
#3 -- Between praying for him and driving around the city all night looking for him I would be both worried sick and furious. He certainly would loose his driving privileges for a long time.
