On Everlasting Life: Most of the things you get somebody dies so you can get it. But, you have to die your own self to get everlasting life. On Etiquette: Etiquette is what you're doing or saying when people are looking or listening. What you are thinking is your own business. These naively commentaries of school, church etiquette, and everlasting life are both a child's honest impressions that become hilarious when read by adults.

On Moses: "I got so tired of Moses walking forty years and never getting to where he was going. I sure would have bought myself a mule." On the library: "In the library there are signs. Silence. Mrs. Simons [the librarian] must not know they are there. She talks the whole long day." These naively trouncing concepts of school, church etiquette, and everlasting life are both a child's mischievous collection of impressions and an adult's hilarious comeuppance.

With a child's eyes she pieces the petty hypocrisies and enjoys the colorful qualities of the townspeople. She charms all with her shrewd and ingenious comments on life, death, God, cattle, and mint juleps. This humorous play consists of episodes based on authentic essays of this astute child of 1900. With Virginia as guide we tour her school, church, home, and main street, a journey from Egyptian bondage to the Judgment Seat for a kind of celestial graduation, receiving harps and crowns rather than diplomas.
