Youtube is lots of fun,

But you don't get your homework done.

How do you tell the teacher your alibi?

Convincingly. Convincingly. Convincing, L-Y.

I remember that "Sesame Street" skit. I remember when Herry says "I only wanted to ask him if he wanted to play with my dollies and me! Oh well!" And then he wipes his nose. Very cute indeed!

[Zacdan Guisehouse]

So damn true

[Anna Deeter]

This is a very entertaining cartoon, but.... It does not teach the correct way HOW TO MOVE your speech apparatus in order to produce this "ly"! That is where the confusion begins in young learners while they earn their reading skills! We MUST explain to children the difference between letters and sounds: that when we WRITE, we move our HAND, but when we SPEAK, we move our tongue and lips!!!! So, letters = hand movements, sounds = tongue and lips movements!

I WISH!

Always LOVED the last demonstration in this cartoon(immediately), where the man IMMEDIATELY BUGS OUT OF THERE, no sooner does he see DRACULA,NO LESS,"sitting there in the gloom"(and of course,"IMMEDIATELY says "Goodbye!"NO LESS!) LOL also, at Dracula's expression, once the man is gone,"Oh, well, I guess that's the way it is! I only meant to be friendly,or kid around!"(kind of like the way Herry is, in that early Sesame Street skit, with Farley, after Farley crashes through the wall and flees.)
