"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."
