Basic Trope: Two children disguise themselves as an adult by standing on top of each other and wearing a trenchcoat.
- Straight: Two children, Andy and Bobby, stack on top of each other and wear a trench coat to sneak into a bar.
- Exaggerated: 60 babies stack on top of each other to disguise themselves as a giant man.
- Logical Extreme: The Worm That Walks
- Downplayed: Andy wears stilts to pretend to be taller.
- Justified:
- Andy and Bobby are young spies, and all the adult spies are either on other missions or out of commission.
- Andy and Bobby are little shapeshifters, but what they can turn into is limited by their mass, therefore they must work together to disguise themselves as an adult.
- The play requires one more adult character than there are adult actors for one of the scenes, so Andy and Bobby play the role of the silent Mysterious Stranger.
- Subverted: A man with a trenchcoat and a child's face enters a bar, but he just turns out to be a man with a babyface.
- Double Subverted: But then that man turns out to be very short and his legs are actually just 2 children stacked on top of each other.
- Inverted:
- Two adults stack on top of each other to disguise themselves as a child.
- Two trench coats tack on trop of each other to disguise themselves as a child.
- A really tall adult wearing a trenchcoat is mistaken for two children.
- Parodied:
- Andy and Bobby's disguise is extremely unconvincing, yet everyone buys into it.
- One person realizes that the weird man in the bar is actually Andy and Bobby in disguise, but any time they try to tell anyone gets interrupted or ignored.
- Averted: Andy and Bobby do not use stacking on top of each other to disguise themselves as an adult.
- Defied: "Actually, no, stacking on top of one another is not the best way to disguise yourself as a grown-up."
