Qwikpick convenience store
The Qwikpick convenience store symbolizes secrecy. Lyle is the team leader of "Qwikpick Adventure Society," whose business is conducted in the convenience store's private room. During their meetings, Lyle and his two friends arrange how they will spend their Christmas day and the replacement of the poop fountain machine. All these preparations are conducted in secrecy to ensure parents do not know. Lyle suspects that if their parents notice anything strange, they will not be allowed to tiptoe to the local sewer to satisfy their oddity.
The local newspaper
The local newspaper symbolizes new opportunities. Lyle, Marilla, and Dave are bored in their small town. Therefore, they want to find something interesting to do before Christmas day. When Marilla comes across the newspaper article detailing the date the local authority plans to bring a modern sewer machine to replace the old one, she shares the news with other friends. Lyle sees a new opportunity to keep them engaged and away from their boring homes. Therefore, the local newspaper article gives the children an exciting venture to explore.
