- I'm thinking of something.

Can you guess what it is?

It has four legs.

Has a back.

Sometimes it has two arms.

Hmm.

It has no hands.

Sometimes it kind of has feet.

Did you guess?

It's a chair.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, let's go see what Moby's got to say.

(upbeat music) (moby laughing) - I just read that you probably have more chairs in your home than any kind of furniture.

Yeah, chairs come in all kinds of shapes and sizes.

There are desk chairs.

Yep, there are kitchen chairs, rocking chairs, lounge chairs, wheelchairs, arm chairs, office chairs, folding chairs.

Oh, and don't forget about benches, stools, loveseats, sofas, and recliners.

Oh man, what am I sitting on?

This is a pillow on a box or something, but it works as a chair.

Yeah.

Wow.

Hey, how many chairs can you count where you are right now?

(upbeat music) - I think technically though, I'm on a bench, right?

'Cause the bench is built into my desk here.

Cool, cool.

All right, friends, it's time for today's, one, two, three sentence story.

We're gonna create a story in three sentences.

In the first scene.

(Wimee laughing) First scene.

In the first sentence we set the scene.

In the second sentence, there is a problem.

Whaa, whaa, whaa.

But then, friends, in the third sentence, there is a solution.

(Wimee laughing) So friends, let's do this, let's write a story.

I'm gonna go back to Nikhil to find out today's first word.

I never know what these words are, right Nikhil?

What word you got for me today?

- Maybe, pillow?

- Pillow.

(Wimee laughing) I love it.

Pillow, perfect, okay.

Pillow.

Okay, here we go.

I sat down in a very hard chair the other day and wished I had a pillow.

(Wimee laughing) What you think about that?

Okay, the first word's pillow.

We know I'm gonna sit down in a chair and I wished I had a pillow.

All right, uh-oh.

But then there's a problem.

Oh no.

You know what I did to myself today, friends?

There's kind of two problems because I wished I had a pillow and now shovel.

Thanks for the idea, shovel.

Okay, Wimage board.

Nice job working on the Wimage today.

Let's see here, from the top.

I sat down in a very hard chair the other day and wished I had a pillow.

The snow began to fly around the house, but I had no shovel.

Wait a minute, I think there's a bigger problem that the snow's in the house.

(Wimee laughing) Oh man, we got all kinds of problems.

The chair's not very comfortable.

It's snowing in the house and there's no shovel for me to shovel the snow out.

How do we solve all of these problems, friends?

Can we solve the problem where we've got the pillow, we've got the snow cleared up.

Blanket.

(Wimee laughing) Blanket is the solution.

Okay, here we go.

From the top.

I sat down in a very hard chair the other day and wished I had a pillow.

Things got worse when suddenly it began to snow in the house and I had no pillow.

Fortunately, there was a blanket in the closet.

And so I covered myself up and stayed warm from the snow.

(Wimee laughing) And guess I'll have to figure out the snow problem tomorrow.

Okay, no, no, no, no.

Okay, take two.

I'm gonna revise this.

Third sentence.

Fortunately there was a blanket in the closet and I used it to scoop up the snow, dropping it on the back porch.

Yeah, there we go.

'Cause the whole problem was there was snow in the house, right?

Technically the problem was the shovel.

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness.

Let me check in with Nikhil.

Hey, Nikhil.

I'm having kind of a... (Wimee laughing) I'm having a rough go of the story.

Anything going through your head that might be something for us to consider in the story?

- Maybe you could... Maybe you could order a shovel.

- Oh, perfect.

I like it, okay.

Ooh, ooh, maybe, yeah, and more ideas, I love it, friends.

Thanks, Nikhil.

Maybe we had hot tea to drink and watch a movie.

(Wimee laughing) I love it.

We're gonna figure this out friends for sure.

Friends, it's time to go to Miss Stephanie, for today's language explorers, to find out how to say some words in American sign language.

Hi, Miss Stephanie.

- Hi, Wimee, hi, friends.

So, today- - That was quite a story, huh?

- It was, I'm still kinda laughing.

- You can say it.

You can just be like, Wimee, oh man.

- Oh no.

(both laughing) - But you know sometimes, being creative and trying things.

Sometimes that's what happens is you're just like woo-wee.

- Yes, or like you wrote yourself into a corner and you weren't sure what to do.

You're looking around.

I don't know how to get outta this story now.

- I like that, wrote myself into a corner.

That's like very literal, right?

And a metaphor?

- Yes, a metaphor.

- Yeah, okay, okay, okay.

Hey, I'm ready to learn some words in American sign language.

- Okay, today's theme, so the keyword is chair.

So you take one finger, or two fingers.

- Okay.

- On one hand and then two fingers on the other.

- Okay.

- And tap them.

- Tap.

- Chair.

- [Wimee] Chair.

- Chair.

- Cool.

- Yes.

All right and then one of my favorite types of chairs is a rocking chair.

- Yeah.

- So a rocking chair, you take your fingers like this and it's like you're rocking them and you kind of picture the bottom of a rocking chair and how it goes, back and forth, back and forth.

That's rocking chair.

- Yeah.

- All right and then the last word I thought I'd share with you, is the word sit.

So it is just like chair, except you tap your fingers together once, sit.

- Okay.

- Sit.

- Remind me what chair, was it twice?

- It was.

- Okay.

- Chair.

- Chair.

- And then sit.

So I would say sit in the chair.

- I like that a lot.

- Good, I'm glad.

Well this was fun.

- I love it.

Miss Stephanie, thank you so much for teaching us some words in American sign language.

Ooh, these are lawn chairs, I think.

Hmm.

They're a little too small for me, but that's fine.

Friends, guess what?

It's time.

It's time for Jim time.

(upbeat music) Hi, Jim.

- Hi, Wimee.

- So what's the plan for today's Jim time?

- Well, I'm really excited because Baby Bumblebee and Sparky and Laina and I, we came up with this idea for a new TV show called, "Musical Chairs."

And we thought it's like a game show where we could have different people on every week and they could play musical chairs, right?

Maybe.

Oh, I'm just thinking this now, we should have called it "Celebrity Musical Chairs."

We could have different celebrities on each week.

Anyway, I'm really excited about it.

So we're ready to pitch it, but we've got a clip.

I've brought a clip.

Can we tell the people backstage or what do we say?

Hey yeah, roll the clip, right?

Isn't that what they do?

- Yeah, okay, you ready?

- Yeah, so you guys can watch it.

This is us playing musical chairs.

So yeah, go ahead and roll the clip.

Hi, today Baby Bubble Bee, Laina, Sparky, and I, are playing musical chairs.

Have you ever played musical chairs?

To set up, you need one chair fewer than the number of players.

So today we have four players.

That means we'll need three chairs.

(upbeat music) - When the music starts walk around the chairs, when the music stops, find a chair as fast as you can.

The player who doesn't find a chair is out.

- When a player's out, you have to remove a chair.

You keep playing until there's only one player left.

That's the player who's the winner.

Does that work Baby Bumblebee?

Did I explain that right?

(bee buzzing) Okay, good.

All right, let's play.

(upbeat music) Sorry, Baby Bumblebee.

All right, so we're gonna take one chair away.

(upbeat music) (upbeat music) (kids cheering) - That was fun.

- Riveting television, right?

Can you imagine like celebrities playing that and watching every week, watching the celebrities play musical chairs.

I think we're onto something.

I think it's gonna be a big hit.

I mean, I don't wanna be too boastful, but I think we're onto something.

- It could be, it could be.

- But you know, you don't have to be a celebrity.

That's the best part.

Kids at home.

Anybody at home, you get with your family, like you just need some chairs, some music, walk around the chairs.

You can play it at home.

You don't have to be a celebrity to play it.

- No, no.

Well, that's kinda what I was thinking in my brain.

- Yeah.

- Well, Jim, that was so fun for today's Jim time.

- Bye - Bye, bye, bye.

I'm trying to think if I could play musical chairs in my desk, I don't.

I'd have to go to a different spot.

Well, friends, Siblee's gonna be here today with another silly joke.

(kids cheering) - Why do chickens sit on eggs?

- [Wimee] I don't know.

- Because they don't have any chairs.

(Siblee laughing) Why don't... Why don't we give them some chairs?

(kids cheering) - Yeah, I hear you Siblee.

I think they would like that.

Friends, I want you to take a deep breath, breathe in with me, ready?

One, two, three, four, hold it.

One, two, three, four and let it loose.

(Wimee exhaling deeply) It's time for slowing down.

(gentle music) Breathe in again.

(Wimee inhaling deeply) Two, three, four, let loose.

(Wimee exhaling deeply) Nice job, friends.

Friends, we love books.

It's time for today's check out this book.

(upbeat music) - Hello, Wimee.

Hello, friends.

I Miss Sharon from Ventura County Library.

And today we're talking about chairs.

So I thought I should show you what I'm sitting on.

This is its twin chair.

I love the colors.

The seat cushion is very comfy.

I love to tell stories and sing songs with it at the library.

It is a child's chair, so good thing my legs are short.

Well, we have a book for you today called, "Love and the Rocking Chair."

It is by authors and illustrators Leo and Diane Dillon.

Published by Scholastic House.

And it's about more than just the rocking chair.

This chair is actually a family heirloom.

An heirloom is an item like a chair, that's passed down through generations of family, members given from parent to child, who gives it to their children and their grandchildren, and so on.

It's a special way for a family to share their history and love for each other, from family in the past to family in the future.

It doesn't have to be a chair, it can be many things.

I wore my jade fish today, 'cause that's a family heirloom of mine.

It could be something like this plate, which is about a hundred and something years old.

It could even be a photograph.

Here is a photograph of my grandparents wedding and that's just about a hundred years ago.

So it's any family treasure.

In the case of our story, it's a rocking chair.

Now, how did it become a family heirloom?

Well, it started off with new parents who were expecting a baby and they wanted a special chair.

So they searched and searched and finally found the exact chair that was just right for them.

And it became a very happy place for rocking baby to sleep and a comforting place to comfort when baby was sad and as the baby grew up, what else did it become?

(Miss Sharon laughing) Their favorite place to read together and share many, many stories, all cozy and comfy.

Look at that.

So you have to read it to find out what happens with the family and the chair as the generations go by.

(upbeat music) (Wimee laughing) - That looks so cool.

I like that.

The chair's handed down.

That's awesome.

Hey friends, we love games and we are going to play the alphabet game.

♪ A, B, C, D, E, F, G ♪ ♪ H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P ♪ ♪ Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z ♪ ♪ A, B, C, D, E, F, G ♪ ♪ H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P ♪ ♪ Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z ♪ (Wimee humming) - Friends, are we ready?

- Yes - I think so.

- Let's throw up the alphabet.

(Wimee laughing) - Okay, I'll start.

We gotta pick any word that starts with any of these letters down below going in order.

I'll start with C, we'll go in clockwise.

Let's see, the letter C, I'm gonna say car.

(upbeat music) - E, eggs.

- Nice.

- Ooh, J, jelly beans.

- M, so we could do mug.

- Nice.

P, penny.

- R, Rabbit.

- T, tree.

- Whoa, that rhymes.

W, water.

Let's go back to C, Nikhil.

- C, could be cup.

- Cup.

I think I'm reading Jim's mind.

I was supposed to do it one time.

- No, it's fine, keep going.

No, you can go to E, go ahead.

- Okay, okay.

E, excellent.

Let's do it again.

- Ooh, J, jam.

- Jam, oh, look at all these.

- M. Wow, they got them all.

M, map.

- P, would be picture.

- Nice.

- R, Miss Stephanie said rabbit.

I'm gonna say ravioli.

(Jim laughing) - Nice.

You were like over here.

Wimee and water and wonderful and way to go everybody.

- We did it.

- Thanks, friends.

That was a great round of the alphabet game.

The alphabet game, the alphabet game.

Hey, guess what, friends?

Our friend Cailynn is here for today's Wimee's neighbors.

(upbeat music) - Hi, Wimee.

Hi, friends.

Welcome to today's segment of Wimee's neighbors.

Today, I'm going to be interviewing Dr. Kendall Hamilton.

He's an orthopedic surgeon and he's also my dad.

Hello, Dr. Hamilton.

- Hi Cailynn.

Hi, Wimee, hi friends.

- Today, I'm gonna be asking you a couple of questions.

So the first question that I'm gonna be asking you is what do you do as a surgeon?

- Well, as an orthopedic surgeon, my job is to help people who have had injuries.

Specifically, I take care of injuries of muscles, bones, and joints.

So people who have been injured, doing fun things or cool things like skiing or running or playing sports and people who have been injured doing things around the house, around the yard or at different job sites.

So I get to help those people, get back to doing what they love to do.

- You do?

- I do.

That sounds really cool.

So I have another question for you.

Do you ever get any breaks?

- Oh, Cailynn.

We get tons of breaks.

We get bagel breaks and we get donut breaks and we get bagel and donut breaks and we get pizza breaks.

I get breaks all day.

- That's making me hungry.

I have another question for you.

So how early do you have to wake up to go to work?

And then how late do you get out to come back home?

- It really depends on how many people need help that day.

Sometimes our surgeries can start really early in the morning, like before the sun comes up.

So some days I go in and it's still dark and you're still sleeping.

And then sometimes I come home and I miss dinner because the surgeries took all day, but that's what it takes to help people.

That's what we'll do.

- Nice.

And for my fourth and final question for you, what do you like most about being an orthopedic surgeon?

- That's a really good question.

I think what I like most about being an orthopedic surgeon is all the people I get to meet.

Everybody has a really cool story.

Everybody has a really interesting background and we get to be a part of that story.

We get to help them on their journey just by making a small difference in their life.

And I think that that's what I appreciate and like most about my job.

- Thank you, Dr. Hamilton.

Bye friends, back to you Wimee.

(upbeat music) (Wimee laughing) - Thanks Cailynn, great job.

Let's see here friends.

We are ready for find it fast.

(upbeat music) (car engine roaring) All right, friends, can you find something that starts with C, like chair?

Can you find something with four legs?

Like a chair?

Can you find something comfortable?

Like a good comfortable chair.

Hey Jim, have you found something?

- I did.

All right, so here's what I found Wimee.

I have a candle that starts with C. I have a dog, that's actually a very furry dog.

It's kind of hard to see, but it actually does have four legs under that fur.

- Oh yeah, I see them, yep.

One, two, three, four.

- And this sweater that I'm wearing is actually very comfy and cozy.

- It does look cozy, does look cozy.

I like it, thanks Jim, friends keep looking.

What starts with C, something with four legs or something comfortable.

Nikhil, what have you found?

- I found two things that are all three of them.

- Okay.

- So one of them is a couch that I'm sitting on right now.

It has four legs, it's comfortable, that starts with C. And another one is a car.

It starts with C is for wheels.

And the car seat is very comfortable when you want to take a nap.

- Double trilogy, ding, ding, ding.

(Wimee laughing) I love it, I love it.

Good stuff, friends.

Let's see, Miss Stephanie, what have you found?

- Okay, I found my cat.

Starts with C, has four legs, and I think it's pretty comfy when he comes and cuddles on my lap.

- I like the way you put that, the cat makes you comfortable.

- Yes.

- But I guess that's kinda how it works.

Something makes you comfortable or feels comfortable.

Yeah.

If you sit on the cat, then it would not be comfortable for the cat.

(Wimee laughing) Oh, that's funny.

That's funny, friends, keep on looking.

And you know what though actually?

Oh, I see cake.

Oh, Champ the dog.

And, oh, though your bed is comfy, that's great to have a comfortable for to get a good night sleep.

(Wimee laughing) I love it, I love it.

A dog, four legs, comfortable.

Woohoo, cookie.

That starts with C. Okay, friends.

We have had such a full show.

Oh my goodness, what a full show.

Friends, thanks for spending time with us.

Thanks for being here.

We are gonna roll the music.

We're gonna get into our dance party.
