“Go buy me an official WordGirl toothbrush protector.”
Honey, remind me to go to the store tomorrow and pick up a WordGirl toothbrush protector.
Good idea, hon! Let’s get two.
Why not thirty-two? One for each tooth? [He and the parents raise their hands in victory]
Yay!
Sounds good!
Uh, aren’t there better things to spend our money on than silly toys and accessories?
“Buy me the WordGirl remote control pickle jar!”
First thing in the morning!
Oooh, pick one up for me while you’re at it.
Oh, pickle one up for me too! [laughs]
[shouting] Everybody stop! [in a normal voice] Mom, Dad, you’re not acting like yourselves. You’re constantly spending money on frivolous, silly things just because the doll tells you to!
Constantly?
Yes, constantly. You’re doing it again and again. As in, constantly buying Walk-and-Talk WordGirl accessories.
But honey, this is WordGirl, and WordGirl never lies. If she says we need something, we need it!
Do you need it, or just want it, Dad? I mean, shouldn’t we be spending our money on more important things like, I don’t know, food?
Oh, don’t get indignant, honey. What’s so great about “food” anyway? We’re buying the WordGirl tree shaker instead!
The tree shaker? What does that even do?
Shakes trees! Trees sold separately.
“Buy the WordGirl glow-in-the-dark suntan lotion!”
[This time the eyes of the dolls glow green, and the eyes of TJ and Mr. and Mrs. Botsford turn green as well. They start to speak in a monotone.]
Glow-in-the-dark suntan lotion.
Okay, something’s going on here. It’s like the dolls have you under some sort of--
Suntan lotion.
Mind control! Come on, Bob. Time to pay another visit to Mr. Big!
