Ages 2 & 3 come on stage.
All lines are on the screen or overhead
Leader(s) speak and children respond

Leader:
Tonight is a time for children
So you big guys listen up
(children hold finger to lips, say shushhh)
We don't want you to embarrass us
(children wag fingers at the audience)
By making noise and stuff

So if you guys are special good
And don't have a goofy attack
(children shake heads negative)
Later on, as a special treat for you,
You can buy us kids a Big Mac!
(children lick lips, rub tummies)
