CHARACTERS:

Weeds wearing green crepe paper costumes or clothes, man or woman, unbelievers

MAN/WOMAN:

What are you?

WEEDS:

(Together) We’re weeds.

MAN/WOMAN:

But this is supposed to be a flower garden.  It say so right here on this sign, ‘Flower Garden’.

WEED 1:

Yeah, how about that.  Hey, look, guys!

WEED 2:

Hey, yeah, it says ‘Flower Garden’.

WEED 3:

What a joke!

MAN/WOMAN:

So, if this is supposed to be a flower garden, what are you all doing here?

WEEDS:

We grew here!

MAN/WOMAN:

But where are the flowers?

WEED 2:

They never got planted.

MAN/WOMAN:

What do you mean, they never got planted?

WEED 1:

The gardener, he never planted any.

MAN/WOMAN:

But I bet he never planted you rotten weeds either.

WEED  3:

True, but you don’t have to plant weeds.

WEED 1:

Yeah, weeds have a way of growing in neglected gardens all by themselves.

WEED 2:

Yeah, we don’t need any help!

MAN/WOMAN:

But, didn’t the gardener try to get rid of you?

WEED 1:

Oh, yeah. But it was too late then.

WEED 3:

We’d already taken over his garden.

MAN/WOMAN:

I don’t believe this! How does any gardener expect to have a garden full of flowers if he just walks away and leaves it to itself?...If he doesn’t plant the seeds, and water them and feed them? How can he expect a garden full of lovely flowers if he isn’t prepared to spend hours and hours working in it and weeding out the rubbish?

WEEDS:

Beats us!

MAN/WOMAN:

What are you?

UNBELIEVERS:

We’re unbelievers.

MAN/WOMAN:

But this is supposed to be a Christian Family. It says so right here on this sign, ‘Christian Family’.

UNBELIEVER 1:

Yeah, how about that. Hey, look, guys!

MAN/WOMAN:

So, if this is supposed to be a Christian Family, what are you all doing here?

UNBELIEVER 2:

We grew here!

MAN/WOMAN:

But where are the Christians?

UNBELIEVER 3:

I guess they never got planted...
