I just got back from a performance of AVENUE Q, a Broadway musical starring
hand-puppets. I has been running here for about 18 months. One of the male
puppets--during passionate love-making with one of the female puppets--shouts out
(among other things), "Who's your daddy?" It seemed to mean, in context,
something like, "Girl, I know you are enjoying this!"
