The Hooha Monologues

In some parts, for some reason, the Vagina Monologues have been renamed the Hooha Monologues. It's true, although is it eerily similar to an old Lenny Bruce routine where he tried to find ways to advertise Las Vegas's bosom themed bars that didn't offend anyone. I do not believe he was arrested for this routine.

Anyway, apparently the name change was an attempt to make the production title slightly less offensive to house fraus and their children. So, instead of sparking a conversation about what a vagina is, they've sidestepped it completely by cleverly using a synonym. They have, in one fell swoop, eliminated the need for any embarassing conversations about what a vagina is, where babies come from, why Girls Gone Wild videos are so popular and why daddy doesn't talk to mommy any more and spends so much time at "work".

Unfortunately for the parents, they'll still have to explain what a monologue is, and you can't effectively discuss what a monologue is without explaining what a soliloquy is. And you can't explain what a soliloquy is without explaining why, in a theatrical production, one would want to perform one, when everyone knows it's better to "show" something rather than to "tell" them about it. You'd also want to add a bit about the elements of drama and probably have to perform scenes from Macbeth to really drive the point home.

Good luck with that, I'd rather explain the vagina.
