Act I – In the Living Room
(Mother is watching TV. Father is reading the newspaper. Son is coloring a book. He shows the page to his mother)

Mother: Hmmm…why did you color everything green?
Son: Why not?
Mother: Because not everything you see is green. Just look at the rainbow… all the different colors make it look so beautiful!
Son: Wow! You’re right. Mom… why do dolphins make so many sounds?
Mother: Because that’s the way they communicate.
Son: With whom?
