The Delights of Politeness
About This Script
A child arrives at Grammy’s house behaving rudely and demanding — a dramatic change from previous visits. Grammy gently presses until the child admits to imitating bullies at school. Through an honest conversation about what "please" and "thank you" actually mean, Grammy teaches the Golden Rule as Jesus gave it — and the child quietly slips away to practice before coming back transformed.
