Performance: Castle Hill Seventh-day Adventist Church - Aug 31, 2019
Two youths sit, scrolling through their phones (could have the script on it)
A is a modest, honest friend who's had a dad who had taught them a lot
B has a dad who hasn't taught them anything of note
B: Holidays hey, what should we do?
A: Do you want to go surfing?
B: You can surf?
A: Yeah, dad taught me.
B: Nah, can’t say I like the thought of going far out into the ocean.
A: Do you wanna come help me work on my go cart?
B: You’re a mechanic?
A: Not really, but dad taught me some stuff.
B: Oh. Well not really. All that motor stuff is a mystery to me.
A: Wanna play some guitar?
B: You play guitar?
A: A bit. Dad taught me.
B: Nah, sounds hard.
A: Wanna go horse riding?
B: I didn't know you were a horse rider?
A: Dad’s taken me a few times. It's ok once you get the hang of it.
B: Sounds stinky. No thanks.
A: Wanna play some Golf?
B: Oh, I’ve tried golf once but I was terrible. I couldn’t hit the ball 10 meters.
A: I could give you some tips dad taught me - It’s fun once you get the swing of it.
B: Nah.... You're Dad's taught you a lot of stuff.
A: Yeah, I guess so.
A: Wanna bake a cake?
B: What? Your dad taught you how to bake a cake?
A: Nah. [pause] But he did buy the recipe books for Mother’s Day that mum uses.
B: If only we could weld, we could make a catapult and Launch pine cones into the lake.
A: Yeah
[pause]
B: You never made a catapult with your dad?
A: No?
B: Well that's a first!
[pause]
A: Though... I welded a trebuchet with dad once, I guess that’s kind of similar.
B: Hey... wanna go put a paper bag of dog poop on old man Walter’s front porch and set it in fire and ring the door bell and run off. We could put a go pro in the front pot plant so we can put it on YouTube?
A: Not really? Dad taught me to respect people, especially the elderly.
B: Oh come on, it’s just a bit of fun.
A: Would you like a flaming bag of poop on your front door?
B: No
A: Well, there you go - "Do unto others what you want done unto you".
B: Lemme guess, your dad taught you that.
A: Kind of.
A: Hey wanna come to Bible study on Wednesday night?
B: You seriously read the Bible?
A: Yeah, dad’s leading the study this week. He always makes it fun.
B: Well... [jokes] if your dad’s going to be there, maybe he can teach me to cross stitch too?
A: Nah, dad’s doesn’t cross stitch. [stands up to leave] He’s prefers tapestry. Could teach you if you're interested.
B: [follows] Man... where can I get a dad like yours? He's taught you everything!
