KELLY. Okay, so...um...the youth group will now present The
Nativity Story for your entertainment and...spiritual fulfillment.
(KELLY gathers herself.)
Uh...but first I wanna say that this is kind of an experimental ver-
sion... We used to have more actors in the show, but certain people,
I'm not even going to say their names, but they know who they are,
thought that it was more important to fake illnesses than to portray
the birth of Jesus. Okay? That's all I’m going to say about that. But
God knows who you are and so do I. And one of those people is
sitting on the left side of the church in the back row and I can see
you, okay? And God sees you. And if you think you can not be in
the nativity story and not get eggs thrown at your house then you
got another thing coming, all right? Cause I know where you live.
Amen.A Tiny Miracle with a Fiberoptic Unicorn 67
I want you all to take a moment to mentally prepare yourself for
what you are about to witness. We’ve all heard this story before.
But have we truly seen it? Have we lived it? Think. Believe. Feel.
(KELLY produces a boombox and presses play. Some horrible cheesy
80s music plays.)
This is Mary’s Story. Imagine yourself in the past. Long ago. Before
television or radio. Before fish. There was a girl.
(KELLY moves off to the side as CAROLYN enters, dressed as
Mary. CAROLYN is an excellent actress and does everything quite
well.)
KELLY. (As the holy spirit:) Mary.
