"poll"
When Elphaba learned a poll had been circulating the Tiggular household, she was astounded.
The surveyer: one Fiyero Tiggular.
The respondents: Jon, Lilija and Liir Tiggular.
The poll: "Should Mummy have another baby?" with two boxes for "Yes" and "No," and a few lines at the bottom labelled "Comment."
The "Comment" section was perhaps the most alarming.
Elphaba read the poll cards with consternation.
"Make it a boy. Lilija is annoying."
"We already have enough idiots in this house."
"Will I have to share Mr Cuddles?"
And a fourth: "Please think about it, Fae. I love you."
She'd kill him.
