now do you understand what commitment is

i'm so he happy to say

even when things get your way

that's right donkey dan if you're trying

to do a very specific thing

and something tries to stop you or

discourage you commitment will help you

finish the job

yeah how about a song for the girls and

boys papi

i think that's a good idea donkey dan

how about it girls and boys would you

like to sing a song

whenever we want to sing a song all we

need to do is call

sing a song sam oh sing a song come on

along

hi pappy it's good to be here do you

have a song about commitment for us

i sure do then hit

when i it you stick to it you follow

through

until you're through when you commit

that's what you do

that's what we call the myth

when you're in our predicament and

though you're even sick of it

because you're true to what you do you

stick to it commitment

that's what we call commitment

when you open up your mailbox you don't

find a pair of stale

instead you find one better addressed to

you

alone it's there because not santa claus

but your mailman braved the weather

yes your mailman breaks the weather

rain or shine sleet or snow he set his

mind to

go go go because he has a job to do

he does it well until he's through for

his job he's so well fitted

because he is postman committed

when you commit you stick to it you

follow through

until you're through when you commit

that's what you

do that's what we call commitment

when you're in a predicament and though

you're even sick of

it because you're true to what you do

you'll stick to

it commitment that's what we call

commitment

interfere with the other

oh oh well anyways how about committing

your crayons to that drawing there

good idea ready everyone

okay are you ready here we go we're

going to color our postman

and i'm going to start by coloring his

scarf and i think that

his scarf should be blue it's a very

nice color for a scarf of course you can

color yours red or yellow

or orange or pink or any color you'd

like because

anything can happen when you color okay

here we go

oh that's a nice blue i like that a lot

yes i do

it's very bright color isn't it

okay take your time

oh that's gonna look very nice

okay here we go oh

very good there

and you notice the wind's blowing if you

look at this scarf you notice how it's

kind of pulled back like that

it's because the wind is blowing and and

you know that the postmen

uh sometimes they have to walk through

snow and the rain

and when it's very very hot too they

have to they have to they go out in all

kinds of weather don't they and you see

them every year don't you and they walk

right by your house

don't they they stop at your house and

they go to the next house and

oh they're just very busy deserving

their mails

their mail and packages and things for

for everybody

they go house to house okay let's let's

do the mailman's hat right now

and i'd like to do the the uh the rim of

his hat which is right here

let's do that black okay we'll use the

color black for the rim on his hat

oh boy very good

i love to color with you girls and boys

i have fun and i just try to do the best

i can do

and i'm sure you're doing the best you

can do good

good now what else could be black on our

postman how about his shoes

he might be wearing uh boots or rubbers

and and they they're black aren't they

okay well we'll make black boots right

now we'll just color that in like that

and fill that right in and i'm going to

stop right near the end of his foot here

just like that can you see that i'm not

filling that in all the way because i

want to make it look like it's kind of

shiny so i'll leave a white spot right

there

it's kind of fun to do that it makes it

look shiny

it makes this boot look like it's very

shiny and wet

okay i'll do the same thing on the other

end right here

oh good all right let's do the other

boot now and we'll do the same thing

okay very good

fill that right in and just fill it

right in and take your time and

do the best you can all right now does

anybody have an idea for

is uh the clothes that he's wearing his

uniform

most of the ones that i've seen most of

the postmen they wear kind of a grayish

blue

uh uniform okay so i'm going to use my

gray crayon

here it is and i'm going to color in his

uniform gray

and we'll start on a sleeve here and you

can start anywhere you'd like

as long as it's part of his uniform you

don't want to paint his face gray

all right i won't just do that

like that okay

very good

boy i tell you it's a lot of work

coloring boys and girls

it takes a lot of patience doesn't it

okay

here we go just fill it right in like

that

well i got two arms done now i have to

do the rest and i'll just continue the

collar

there we go lucky

and we'll just continue to use the

crayon here it doesn't matter how big

the crayon is as long as you have a

crayon in your hand you can use any part

of that crayon to color in

here we go just like that good all right

just keep

busy keep working at it this is gonna be

really nice when we're done

yes we are doing a wonderful job aren't

we

okay now i have to do his pants so i'll

continue onward here

just like that oh yes

these don't look pretty good here very

good

all righty and i'll just finish it over

here like that

good now i have one more leg to do here

so bear with me here we go be patient

i'm almost finished here

here we go and we're taking our time now

because we want our picture to come out

as best we can we want to do the best we

can so when we give it to somebody they

can say how nice it is

yes oh good

very good well i think i'm gonna do his

hat gray too okay

which is right here and let's do that

gray also

good

oh i think you're doing a wonderful job

and you know big brother you can help

little brother or little sister too if

they're having a problem feel free to

help them out

because you're a little older than they

are that means you can do it a little

better than they can so feel free to

help them out if they have a problem

but i think they're doing a pretty good

job anyway all right

now there's a stripe on his pant leg

here we want to make that

yellow okay so i'll take my yellow

crayon and let's make that little stripe

yellow

good okay it looks like we want to make

his uh bag

envelopes in let's make that brown okay

pappy's just been doing this so long

that i just

i'm an expert at it now i've been

coloring so long and you can too when
