PUPPET SCRIPT
By Louise Ferry
'FESS UP'
Scripture Reading Psalm 32:1-7
PUPPETS: Butch & Mom
BUTCH: Mom, you sure were rough on Tiffany this morning.
MOM: Well, Butch, she was not suppose to be in my perfume.
BUTCH: I know, Mom, but she just wanted to smell pretty for Dad.
MOM: I know she was but she ended up making the whole house smell pretty for Dad.
BUTCH: Well, that may be so, but I know she felt better when she fessed up and let you know that she had done it.
MOM: Yes she did but she still needed to sit in her room for a time. We need to fess up when we have done something wrong.
BUTCH: Yes, I'm sure.
MOM: What's the matter, Butch? What have you got to fess up?
BUTCH: Nothing, mom, nothing.
MOM: Come on, Butch, what is it.
BUTCH: Well, I was over with Ned and He had some cigarettes and I smoked one.
MOM: I'm sorry to hear that.
BUTCH: Mom, I just tried to smoke one, I couldn't, it was terrible. I'm glad I confessed, I feel so much better now.
MOM: That's good, Butch. But there is something else you need to do.
BUTCH: What's that, mom?
MOM: You need to tell God.
BUTCH: I will tell God and I know that He will give me strength to tell Ned no the next time.
MOM: How about you, boys & girls? Is there something bothering your conscience? Do you need to fess up. Fess up to God, your parents, and anyone else who is involved.
BUTCH: It is best not to get into trouble, but once you do, you need to fess up. Right.
MOM: Right, Butch. See you boys & girls.
BUTCH: Bye everyone. (puppets down)
