@MarieAngell, first I need to get an agent.
@Gardener, that daycare bit always makes my mother’s blood run cold, because, when she was a primary school teacher, one of the kids in her class did indeed bring in some “red Smarties” which he shared with his friends. Unfortunately, they were his mother’s Iron pills. You can imagine the chaos that ensued.
(Note: “Smarties” in Canada are candy-coated chocolate discs, like the “Smarties” in England. “Smarties” in the USA are the rolls of pill-like candies that Canadians know as “Rockets”.)
The entire monologue has several other real-life references in it. The “idiot” character is named after a particularly unpleasant bully from my childhood (but she’s probably either dead or in prison, now). The story about the car and the flagpole really happened, when I was 3—except that my dad leaped off the tractor just in time. And the “401” is the main east-west highway around here.
Hmmm… That sounds rather tantalizing, doesn’t it?
I think I’ll have to do a read of the complete monologue, so you’ll know what I’m talking about.
