What's He Doing in There?

A celebrated professor has the honor of welcoming Earth’s first Martian guest, and the encounter quickly turns from formal ceremony to a lively lesson in cross‑planetary etiquette. The alien, surprisingly human‑shaped yet draped in a deep, textured hue, asks politely for the bathroom, prompting the host’s wife to point him toward the upstairs facilities. What follows is a charmingly chaotic glimpse into a household trying to balance scholarly curiosity with everyday courtesy.

The professor’s children—an inquisitive son and a self‑assured daughter—join the fray, each offering wild theories about the visitor’s motives while the family debates the proprieties of a turquoise‑skinned guest in their home. Their banter, peppered with humorous speculation about Martian habits and Earthly customs, creates a warm, slightly absurd portrait of first contact.

Listeners will be drawn into a witty, character‑driven tableau where scientific wonder meets domestic comedy, leaving them eager to discover just how long the Martian’s bathroom expedition will last and what it reveals about both worlds.
