"Have you moved your bowels"

"What?"

"Sat on the toilet."

"What?"

"Have you made any poop?"

"Poop?"

"Do you know what I mean if I say feces?"

"No."

"Bathroom? Sitting down? Not the liquid."

"I don't understand."

"Doody?"

"What you asking me?"

"Have you made ca-ca."

"Oh, yes, ca-ca. Yes, this morning I do ca-ca."

"Terrific. That's all I needed to know."
