Act 4, Scene 5: “Anthro-poo- morphic”


“I made a poo,” screams C.

Like volunteer firemen hearing the fire whistle, E and TRL drop everything and run into the bathroom to share in the glory.

“Excellent poo,” praises TRL.

“It’s a gold fish,” says E.

TRL looks a bit closer at the blondish dark poo sitting in the toilet; it does indeed look like a goldfish, it’s head aiming for the drain, it’s tail pointing up and swaying in the water.

“Nice poo fish,” says TRL. He knows he is supposed to praise the boys during this key juncture in their toilet training and Freudian development of control issues. Having poo animals adds a nice bit of creativity to the entire self-toileting/socialization process.

C leans on the flusher and the poo fish begins its long journey to the ocean.

“Bye bye,” says TRL.

“Bye bye,” chorus C and E.

“God’s speed to you, Goldie.”
