>> DUSTY: I'VE NEVER PLAYED BEFORE.
OK DOTT.
LET'S SEE.
DO YOU HAVE ANY 5S?
>> GO FISH.
>> OH BROTHER.
OKAY.
>> DUSTY YOU DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE TO FISH, YOU JUST PICK UP A CARD.
BESIDES, YOU CAN'T CATCH A FISH IN HERE ANYWAY.
>> YOU WERE SAYING, DOTT!?
WOAH!
THIS IS THE BIG ONE!
[ALPHABOTT NOISES] >> I'D THROW HER BACK IF I WERE GET THE NET!
YOU.
[MUSIC] ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [INSTRUMENTAL THEME SONG] >> YOU'RE HERE!
YOU MADE IT!
>> OUR READING BUDDIES!
THANK GOODNESS.
AB IS NOT HAPPY THAT I ACCIDENTALLY CAUGHT HER WHILE PLAYING GO FISH.
>> I FEEL LIKE I'VE TOLD YOU THIS BEFORE.
YOU DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE TO FISH IN THE GAME "GO FISH."
>> THEN THE NAME OF THAT GAME IS VERY MISLEADING.
HEY, HOW ABOUT WE PLAY ONE OF OUR GAMES DOTT, HOW ABOUT A FEW ROUNDS OF "I HEAR WITH MY LITTLE EAR?"
>> COMING RIGHT UP!
>> YES!
I HEAR WITH MY LITTLE EAR!
>> WE'RE GOING TO LISTEN FOR SOUNDS IN SOME WORDS.
>> WHAT SOUND ARE WE LISTENING FOR TODAY?
>> I'M GOING TO MIX IT UP TODAY, SO LISTEN CAREFULLY.
I'LL ASK FOR A BEGINNING, A MIDDLE, OR AN END SOUND.
>> OH BOY!
THIS IS A CHALLENGE!
BE SURE TO LISTEN FOR WHICH SOUND WE NEED TO FIND.
>> THE FIRST WORD IS MALL.
WHAT SOUND DOES MALL BEGIN WITH?
>> WHAT SOUND DO YOU HEAR AT THE BEGINNING OF MALL?
MALL, MALL.
MM.
I HEAR THAT MM SOUND!
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
MM LIKE MAD.
THE NEXT WORD IS HIP.
WHAT SOUND IS AT THE END OF HIP?
>> OH, THE END!
OKAY, WHAT SOUND DO WE HEAR AT THE END OF THE WORD HIP?
HIP.
HIP.
PUH, PUH, PUH.
I HEAR WITH MY LITTLE EAR, THE PUH SOUND!
>> DING DING DING!
CORRECT.
OKAY, NEXT WORD IS LOT.
WHAT SOUND IS IN THE MIDDLE OF LOT?
>> THE MIDDLE!
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!
IT'S TIME FOR A ROLLER COASTER!
LOT.
LOT.
WHAT SOUND DO YOU HEAR IN THE MIDDLE?
LOT.
I HEAR THE AW SOUND!
>> RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT, DUSTY!
GOOD JOB.
THE NEXT WORD IS LET.
WHAT SOUND IS IN THE BEGINNING OF LET?
>> YOU'RE SWITCHING IT UP!
THE BEGINNING OF LET.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA TRICK US.
LET.
LET.
WHAT SOUND DO YOU HEAR AT THE BEGINNING OF LET?
LL, LL.
I HEAR LL LIKE LIP!
>> GREAT JOB!
LL IS AT THE BEGINNING OF LET.
YOUR FINAL WORD IS TELL.
WHAT SOUND IS AT THE END OF TELL?
>> OKAY, THE END.
TELL, TELL.
WHAT SOUND'S AT THE END?
TELL, LL, LL.
IT'S THAT LL SOUND AGAIN!
>> GREAT JOB, DUSTY!
GOOD WORK, READING BUDDIES!
THAT WAS REALLY TERRIFIC!
AND DID YOU THINK IT WAS TRICKY?
>> OH, IT WAS SO TRICKY, GOOD THING I HAD MY FRIENDS HELPING ME!
THANK YOU FOR THAT!
I COULD USE A BRAIN BREAK THOUGH DOTT.
COULD WE DRAW WITH ALPHABOTT FOR A LITTLE WHILE?
>> I THINK THAT IS A WONDERFUL IDEA.
DOT TO DOT WITH ALPHABOTT!
[ALPHABOTT NOISES] >> HEY AB!
COOL PICTURE.
IT LOOKS LIKE, HMM...SHARP CLAWS!
[ALPHABOTT NOISES] >> HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW IT WAS A BUNCH OF MOUNTAINS!?
>> I SEE THEM, AB.
HEY, CAN WE ADD SOME MORE MOUNTAINS TO YOUR DRAWING?
>> WE COULD MAKE A WHOLE MOUNTAIN CHAIN!
[ALPHABOTT NOISES] >> GREAT!
SO IF YOU HAVE PAPER AND SOMETHING TO WRITE WITH, YOU COULD DRAW ALONG!
>> WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO FIRST DOTT?
>> OKAY, LET'S START WHERE AB STOPPED, AND DRAW TWO DIAGONAL LINES.
>> ONE, TWO.
HEY, DOTT, WHAT'S A DIAGONAL LINE AGAIN?
UM, IN CASE THEY FORGOT?
>> A DIAGONAL LINE IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN A VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL ONE.
SO IT'S NOT UP AND DOWN OR SIDE TO SIDE.
IT'S SLANTED.
>> LIKE THE SIDES OF A TRIANGLE?
>> RIGHT!
SO NEXT, WE'RE GOING TO START ANOTHER MOUNTAIN WHERE WE ENDED THE FIRST ONE.
WE'LL MAKE A DIAGONAL LINE UP, AND A DIAGONAL LINE BACK DOWN.
>> WOW!
YOU DID IT, YOU FINISHED THE MOUNTAIN CHAIN.
"THE GREAT DUSTY MOUNTAINS!"
THEY LOOK LIKE A BIG ZIG ZAG!
>> YEAH, THEY DO.
THEY GO UP AND DOWN AND UP AND DOWN- >> IT KIND OF MAKES ME DIZZY!
HEY!
WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO VISIT "THE GREAT DUSTY MOUNTAINS?"
>> WE COULD MAKE UP A STORY ABOUT IT?
>> GREAT IDEA!
LET'S PUT 30 SECONDS ON THE CLOCK DOTT!
[MUSIC] >> ONCE >> UPON >> BOTH: A TIME!
>> WE WERE IN THE GREAT DUSTY MOUNTAINS!
>> READY FOR A WEEK OF HIKING AND CAMPFIRES AND STICKS AND OUTDOOR STUFF.
>> YEAH!
WE HIKED ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP OF THE FIRST PEAK.
>> WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN!
>> BIGFOOT!
>> OH, THE LEGEND!
>> HE LOOKED AT US WITH A SCOWL, BUT THEN HE SMILED AND GAVE US SOME HOT COCOA.
>> WITH MARSHMALLOWS, THE KINDS WITH ALL THE FUN COLORS!
>> PLOT TWIST, HE WAS REALLY A NICE GUY.
GETS A BAD RAP.
>> BOTH: THE END!
[MUSIC] >> IT'S RHYME TIME!
THAT'S RIGHT!
IT'S RHYME TIME!
>> THE GAME WHERE WE GIVE YOU THREE WORDS.
TWO OF THEM RHYME, ONE OF THEM DOESN'T.
>> WE HAVE TO TRY TO FIND THE WORD THAT DOESN'T RHYME.
IT'S EASY PEASY LEMON SQUEEZY.
>> LET THE RHYMING GAMES BEGIN!
YOUR WORDS ARE: BUT, SO, HUT.
>> BUT, SO, HUT.
WHICH WORD DOESN'T RHYME?
BUT, SO, HUT.
YEAH, SO DOESN'T RHYME!
>> THAT'S RIGHT, IT DIDN'T HAVE THE TT SOUND AT THE END.
LET'S TRY BUY, MOM, TOM.
>> OKAY, BUY, MOM, TOM.
WHICH ONE DOESN'T RHYME?
BUY, MOM, TOM.
YEAH, MOM AND TOM SOUND THE SAME, BUY SOUNDS DIFFERENT.
BUY DOESN'T RHYME!

GOOD WORK.
ALRIGHT, LET'S TRY THIS.
TEN, MEN, FIX.
>> TEN, MEN, FIX.
WHICH ONE DOESN'T RHYME?
TEN, MEN, FIX.
YEAH, FIX DOESN'T RHYME!
HEY, WHY DO WE NEED TO HIRE TEN MEN TO FIX SOMETHING- WE CAN FIX STUFF OURSELVES!
>> THEY'RE JUST RANDOM WORDS THAT RHYME DUST.
I BET YOU COULD COME UP WITH SOME.
YAY, CHALLENGE TIME.
WHAT ARE SOME WORDS THAT RHYME WITH FIX?
>> OKAY, FIX, FIX, THAT SOUNDS FUNNY.
HMM.
HEY, CAN YOU THINK OF ANY WORDS THAT RHYME WITH FIX?
FIX, SIX, THAT'S A GOOD ONE!
FIX, OH STICKS!
THAT'S GREAT, I LOVE STICKS.
OKAY, ONE MORE.
FIX, TICKS?
WELL THAT WORKS, BUT I CAN'T STAND TICKS!
>> GREAT JOB, READING BUDDIES!
THOSE WERE SOME GOOD WORDS.
AND NOW, A POEM!
>> HERE WE GO AGAIN!
HAVE TO COME UP WITH ANOTHER BRILLIANT POEM!
WHO DO THEY THINK I AM, AMANDA GORMAN?
TOPICAL!
[MUSIC] >> WACKY WANDA WHIPPED UP EGGS SHE PUT THEM IN A BOWL SHE WHISKED IN SOME OYSTERS, SALT AND GUACAMOLE SHE PUT IT ON THE FRYING PAN AND STIRRED IT TILL IT COOKED THEN WACKY WANDA ATE IT ALL DESPITE THE WAY IT LOOKED.
[MUSIC] >> WHAT DO YOU SEE?

WATERMELON.
WATCH.
WOLF.
>> I'M GOING TO TAKE ONE AWAY!
LOOK.
THINK.
REMEMBER.
WHAT'S MISSING?
>> THE WATERMELON!

>> BOTH: WALRUS.
WATERMELON.
WATCH.
WOLF.
>> LOOK.

REMEMBER.
WHAT'S MISSING?
>> DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S MISSING?
I NEED A CLUE DOTT.

>> I SEE THE WATERMELON, THE WATCH, AND THE WOLF.
THAT MEANS THE WALRUS IS MISSING!
>> WAY TO GO, YOU ROCKED THAT.
[MUSIC] >> DUSTY AND I ARE WORKING ON HIS NEW TRICKS.
>> YEAH!
NEW TRICKS ARE THE BEST TRICKS.
PLUS I CAN ONLY ROLLOVER SO MANY TIMES, I'M NOT A MACHINE, YOU KNOW!
>> LET'S SHOW THEM WHAT YOU'RE LEARNING.
>> OKAY!
>> SAY FAN!
>> FAN.
>> SAY IT AGAIN BUT DON'T SAY AN.
>> FF.
>> GOOD DOG.
SAY MICE.

AB IS SKIPPING AGAIN!
SHOULD WE RESTART HER?
>> DUSTY, I THINK SHE'S MAKING A NEW SOUND!
>> OH!
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?
WHY DO I ALWAYS FORGET THAT?
>> SHE'S MAKING THE WUH SOUND LIKE IN "WINDOW."
>> WOAH!
HOW CAN I MAKE THAT SOUND?
>> WELL, YOU USE THE BACK OF YOUR MOUTH.
SO PUT YOUR LIPS TOGETHER LIKE THIS.
>> YOU LOOK LIKE YOU ARE ABOUT TO GIVE A KISS!
>> I DO A LITTLE.
MY MOUTH'S OPEN A BIT, LIKE I'M SIPPING THROUGH A STRAW.
NOW GLIDE THE AIR OUT!
WUH.
>> WUH, WUH, WUH.
HEY, I FEEL THE AIR ON MY PAW!
>> IS YOUR VOICEBOX ON?
>> WUH, WUH, WUH.
IT IS!
I WONDER HOW YOU DRAW THIS SOUND.
>> OH YOU WONDER?
>> YEAH!
HEY!
YOU ARE MAKING THE WUH SOUND WHEN YOU SAY WONDER!
>> YOU SAID IT FIRST!
>> WHAT CAN I SAY, I'M A TRENDSETTER.
>> COME HERE.
TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION THOUGH, BECAUSE IT IS A GOOD ONE, I'LL SHOW YOU HOW TO MAKE THE SOUND.
DO YOU HAVE YOUR PAINTBRUSH?
>> I DO!
>> REMEMBER THAT ZIGZAG MOTION WE MADE EARLIER WHEN WE WERE DRAWING THE MOUNTAINS?
>> YEAH!
>> THAT'S A PRETTY SIMILAR SHAPE TO THE ONE THAT MAKES THE WUH SOUND.
FIRST YOU DRAW A DIAGONAL DOWN THEN BACK UP A LITTLE, THEN BACK DOWN, AND THEN MAKE YOUR LAST DIAGONAL LINE GO ALL THE WAY BACK UP!
>> YOU DIDN'T EVEN LIFT YOUR PAINTBRUSH!
>> YOU'RE RIGHT!
I DID IT ALL IN ONE STROKE!
WHEN WE MAKE THIS SYMBOL WE ALWAYS MOVE OUR PAINT BRUSH OR OUR PENCIL TO THE RIGHT.
>> THAT'S THIS WAY?
>> YES!
AND LOOK AT THAT, YOU MADE THE LETTER W. >> THAT'S A FUNNY NAME.
>> IT IS A LITTLE.
W. IT EVEN MAKES THE WUH SOUND.
>> LIKE IN WET!
>> THAT'S RIGHT, DUSTY!
THINK YOU CAN FIND THE WUH SOUND IN SOME OTHER WORDS?
>> MM-MM.
I KNOW I CAN FIND THE WUH SOUND IN SOME OTHER WORDS!
>> ALRIGHT, AB, WE'RE READY!
[ALPHABOTT NOISES] >> BOTH: WHERE IS IT?
>> DOTT AND AB HAVE HIDDEN THE WUH SOUND BEHIND ONE OF THESE 3 SQUARES.
>> AND YOUR JOB IS TO FIND IT!
IT COULD BE BEHIND ANY OF THESE 3 SQUARES!
>> AND REMEMBER, WUH, WUH, WE WANT TO FIND THE WUH SOUND!
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
HERE'S THE FIRST WORD: WET.
WUH, EH, TT.
>> BOTH: WUH, EH, TT.
>> WHERE DO YOU HEAR THE WUH SOUND IN WET?
>> WUH, EH, TT.
I HEAR IT RIGHT THERE, IN THE FIRST SPOT.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
LET'S TRY THE WORD WEB.
WUH, EH, BUH.
>> BOTH: WUH, EH, BUH >> DUSTY, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
WHERE DO YOU HEAR IT?
>> WUH, EH, BUH.
OH, IT'S RIGHT THERE, IN THE FIRST SPOT AGAIN!
>> YES, THAT'S RIGHT!
LET'S TRY THE WORD WALK.

>> YES, DUSTY, EXCELLENT!
>> HEY DOTT!
THEY WERE ALL BEHIND THE FIRST SQUARE!
>> I KNOW!
WE DON'T HEAR THE WUH SOUND AT THE END OF A WORD IN ENGLISH.
HEY, LET ME SHOW YOU HOW TO USE IT IN SOME SMALLER WORDS.
>> OKAY!
>> LET'S LOOK AT THE WORD WEB.
>> LIKE A SPIDER WEB?
>> YUP!
WE HAVE WUH, EH, BUH.
W, E, B.
NOW WHAT LETTER WOULD I CHANGE IF I WANTED TO MAKE THIS WORD INTO WED?
>> WEB, WED.
WEB, WED.
THE LAST ONE!
>> YES, EXCELLENT!
>> YOU'D HAVE TO CHANGE IT TO A •WHAT WAS THE NEW WORD AGAIN?
>> WED. >> DUH, DUH.
A D!
>> YES!
NICE DUSTY!
SO NOW WE HAVE WED. NOW WHAT WOULD I CHANGE IF I WANTED TO MAKE THE WORD BED?
THE BEGINNING, MIDDLE, OR END?
>> WED, BED.
THE BEGINNING!
>> EXCELLENT, WAY TO WORK THAT THROUGH!
SO NOW I CHANGE WUH TO A BUH AND I HAVE BED!
>> GOSH I LOVE BEING IN BED.
I LOVE ALL MY PILLOWS AND MY BLANKETS AND STUFFIES.
AND ALL MY WAFFLES.
>> DUSTY?
YOU HAVE A WAFFLE IN YOUR BED?
>> NO.
I DIDN'T MEAN THAT.
I TOTALLY HAVE A WAFFLE IN MY BED.
I KEEP IT THERE IN CASE I GET HUNGRY AT NIGHT.
BUT I GUESS I SHOULD PROBABLY TOSS IT.
WILL YOU HELP ME TIDY UP MY ROOM?
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY SANDWICHES ARE HIDING IN THERE.
RACE YOU TO THE DOGHOUSE!
READY, SET, GO!
♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ DOG, DOG, DOGGY DOGGY DOG HOUSE ♪ [MUSIC] >> I WON!

I DIDN'T EVEN SEE YOU PASS ME, YOU'RE SO FAST.
WOAH, THIS PLACE IS WILD!
WUH, WUH.
THE WUH SOUND IS REALLY BRINGING ME JOY TODAY, SO LET'S KEEP THE OBJECTS THAT HAVE A WUH SOUND SOMEWHERE IN THEIR NAME.
HERE WE GO!
WORM!
IS THERE A WUH SOUND IN WORM?
WUH, YEAH!
IT'S RIGHT IN THE BEGINNING.
WE'LL KEEP THAT LITTLE GUY OUT.
ALRIGHT, WHAT ELSE DO WE HAVE?
WASP!
IS THERE A WUH SOUND IN WASP?
YEAH, IT'S RIGHT IN THE BEGINNING AGAIN!
THERE ARE A LOT OF BUGS IN MY ROOM, MAYBE I SHOULDN'T EAT SO MUCH IN HERE.
WOAH!
SOCK, DOES SOCK HAVE THE WUH SOUND?
NO.
THIS IS ONE OF DOTT'S, I LIKE TO HIDE IT FROM HER, SO WE'LL JUST PUT THAT RIGHT AWAY, HIDE IT AGAIN.
OH MY GOSH.
JACKET.
DOES JACKET HAVE A WUH SOUND?
NOPE, I'M COVERED IN FUR, I DON'T NEED THAT JACKET!
WHEEL!
DOES WHEEL HAVE A WUH SOUND?
YEAH!
THE WHEELS ON THE BUS ARE HIDDEN IN THE JUNK, HIDDEN IN THE JUNK!
WAFFLE!
DOES WAFFLE HAVE THE WUH SOUND!
YEAH, WOO-HOO!
WE FOUND IT!
THANKS FOR HELPING ME CLEAN.
I'M GLAD WE FOUND THAT WAFFLE, I WAS BEGINNING TO WORRY!
HEY, LET'S SEE WHAT DOTT'S UP TO IN THE READING ROOM.
[MUSIC] >> READING BUDDIES!
YA DID GREAT WORK TODAY!
>> DUSTY.
>> READING BUDDIES - >> DUSTY!
>> I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, WISH YOU COULD STAY!
>> DUSTY!
>> HUH?
DID YOU SAY SOMETHING DOTT?
>> YOU WERE SINGING PRETTY LOUD.
>> OH.
WOOPS!
WAIT.
WHY IS THAT BAD?
DO YOU THINK I'M A BAD SINGER?
DO YOU THINK I'M A BAD SINGER?
>> NO, IT'S NOT THAT AT ALL!
IT'S JUST, WE HAVE TO BE MINDFUL OF THE OTHER PEOPLE AROUND US.
I USUALLY DECIDE WHEN TO USE AN INDOOR VOICE AND WHEN TO USE AN OUTDOOR VOICE.
>> OUTDOOR VOICE, LIKE WHEN WE GO TO THE PARK?
AND YOU CALL MY NAME BECAUSE I'M HIDING FROM YOU?
>> YES, THAT IS A GOOD USE OF MY OUTDOOR VOICE.
>> I LOVE IT WHEN WE PLAY THAT GAME.
>> I KNOW YOU DO.
THE OPPOSITE OF THAT WOULD BE AN INDOOR VOICE.
WE USE OUR INDOOR VOICE AT SCHOOL, OR AT A RESTAURANT.
>> WHAT ABOUT WHEN YOU SING IN THE SHOWER?
>> THAT IS PROBABLY SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN.
BUT YOU BRING UP A GOOD POINT!
EVEN GROWNUPS HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE VOLUME OF OUR SPEAKING VOICES.
>> WHAT'S VOLUME?
>> IN THIS CASE, IT'S HOW LOUD OR SOFT SOMETHING IS.
YOU PROBABLY HAVE A VOLUME CONTROL ON THAT MUSIC PLAYER.
>> OH.
WOW, IT'S REALLY HIGH UP.
>> YEAH, I'M NOT SURPRISED.
SO THINK OF YOUR VOICE AS THAT MUSIC.
WHEN YOU USE YOUR INDOOR VOICE, THE VOLUME IS LOWER.
AND WHEN YOU NEED TO USE YOUR OUTDOOR VOICE, THE VOLUME CAN HIGHER.
>> THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!
OH •I MEAN, THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE DOTT.
>> IT WAS A CATCHY SONG THOUGH.
>> I KNOW, RIGHT?
HEY, SHOULD WE KEEP SINGING?
>> NO.
LET'S SAVE IT FOR LATER.
>> YOU MEAN LIKE AT THE END OF THE SHOW?
>> AT THE END OF THE SHOW.
WE'LL SING IT LATER.
>> BOTH: SQUAT WITH DOTT!
>> GET READY TO SQUAT WITH DOTT!
>> IT'S THAT TIME OF DAY!
WE GOTTA WORK OUT.
LET'S START BY WARMING UP OUR BODIES.
>> WHAT SHOULD WE DO FIRST?
>> ONE OF MY FAVORITES.
THE WIGGLE.
>> I LOVE TO WIGGLE!
WIGGLE, WIGGLE, WIGGLE!
>> THEN YOU'LL LOVE THIS ONE.
IT'S CALL THE WAVE AND WAG!
YOU WANT ME TO SHOW YOU?
YOU GO WAVE, AND WAG!
>> BOTH: WAVE, AND WAG!
>> WAVE, AND WAG!
>> ALRIGHT DUST, WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?
>> HOW ABOUT THIS ONE?
IT'S CALLED THE WOBBLE.
>> OH I LOVE IT!
LET ME TRY.
IS THIS IT?
>> YEAH, YOU'RE A NATURAL.
>> OH WOW.
I FEEL REALLY GOOD.
>> THAT'S PERFECT.
>> OKAY, THE NEXT ONE'S CALLED THE WORK IT OUT.
>> YEAH!
>> WORK IT OUT!
>> WORK IT OUT, WORK IT OUT!
>> LET'S WRAP IT UP WITH A POSE!
5, 6, 7, 8, AND POSE!
>> GOOD WORKOUT, DOTT >> WACKY, REALLY.
[MUSIC] >> HI!

[MUSIC] >> HEY, YOU GOT ANOTHER LETTER FROM YOUR FRIEND OTTO.
>> I LOVE OTTO'S LETTERS.
HEY, I'VE GOT AN IDEA, LET'S KEEP AN EAR OUT FOR THE WUH SOUNDS IN OTTO'S LETTER!
>> OTTO: DEAR DUSTY, WELL WELL WELL!
YOU WILL NEVER GUESS WHERE I WANDERED INTO THIS WEEKEND.
A WIZARDING WONDERLAND!
IT WAS WILD!
I SAW A WITCH WHIP OUT HER WAND AND WAVE IT INTO THE AIR!
I WISH YOU COULD HAVE WATCHED.
I WAS WITHOUT WORDS!
TURNS OUT I WALKED ONTO THE SET OF A NEW WEB SERIES.
WOMP WOMP.
IT WASN'T REAL.
OR WAS IT?
OTTO.
>> A WIZARDING WONDERLAND!
I'D WATCH THAT SHOW!
>> I WOULD TOO.
OTTO IS ALWAYS FINDING INTERESTING THINGS TO DO, ISN'T HE?
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE LINE FROM THE LETTER?
>> HMM.
I THINK "A WITCH WHIP OUT HER WAND."
>> OO, I AGREE!
A WITCH WHIP OUT HER WAND!
MAYBE WE COULD WATCH A WIZARDING MOVIE AFTER DINNER.
WHICH REMINDS ME, I SHOULD GET STARTED ON THAT.
>> HEY, THANKS FOR COMING OVER TODAY!
MY READING BUDDIES!
>> DUSTY, REMEMBER THAT SONG YOU WERE SINGING EARLIER?
>> YEAH?
>> REMEMBER WHEN I SAID WE COULD SING IT LATER?
>> YEAH!?
>> IT'S TIME.
