"thin white girls", like much of morin's subsequent fiction, is narrated by a young female with a ruthless and unusual sense of humour. 'i think about toilets a lot,' she tells us, 'and how awful it must be to "be" a toilet.' this leads to the narrator writing a story at school from the point of view of a toilet. 'it was one of those stories where it's about the person telling it, so everything's "i", except the "i" hasn't to be yourself, if you see what i mean.' her teacher is angry, 'but really i know my idea was much better' she continues, 'and when i'm out of her school i'll write about toilets as much as i like.'
