AUDITION MONOLOGUE: "Scary Sounding Words"


It seems to me that some things are not properly named. When I go to the airport for example, it makes me nervous that the building where all the planes land and take off is called the terminal. My dictionary defines terminal as: leading ultimately to death. People who have a terminal illness are not expected to live. When I embark on a trip, I prefer to think I am going to reach my destination in good health. So why should I have to begin and end the flight in a building named terminal?

<Kids under 10 can stop here!>
 
Shot is another word that ought to be changed. Most people think of a shot as a bullet that flies out of a gun when the trigger is pulled. Animals die after being shot by hunters. In wartime, soldiers get shot. Getting shot hurts or even kills. So why in the world would the medical profession decide that vaccines should be called shots?
 
The word that makes me the most nervous is diet. Listen to the root sound in that. Die- et. Don’t people know that restricting calories can be harmful to their health?

I say we should ignore all words that sound scary. Down with diets and terminals and shots. Instead fill your vocabulary with words like puppies and rainbows and fudge.

* Please feel free to change those three underlined words to any of your three favorite things!

*Please note this monologue comes from a published book of monologues. It is a good one - we like it because it is gender- and age-neutral so it is perfect for our purposes. Many thanks to the author and publisher, whose names I will post here as soon as I find the book again!
