[Music]

huh

oh

hi sizzle

you know what

people say sticks and stones may break

my bones but names will never hurt me

names do hurt

they hurt my feelings

nice kitty

you know what sizzle

i wish i had someone who would

understand

hey

maybe i do

oh thanks sizzle you've been a big help

hmm

[Music]

ah

looks like everyone's gone to the

kitchen

now's my chance

weebus

please call my cousin mark

[Music]

hello

hi mark

it's me ben

hey ben how you doing

well

not that great

what's wrong pal

well mark

my friends are calling me

butterfingers butterfingers ouch how

come

well cause i keep dropping things

today i dropped the baton in a relay

race and my team lost

do you believe your butterfingers cause

that name can only hurt if you believe

what they say

well that's just it mark

i guess i do believe

ben you know people used to call me

butterfingers once

really

you

sure at first i couldn't juggle so well

and i missed stuff

but i kept practicing and now look what

i can do

[Music]

wow

you are really good

[Music]

i could never do that there's all kinds

of things you can juggle it doesn't just

have to be ba*ls i can juggle these

boxes of wood too

you can flip them around in all kinds of

different directions

and people think you have magnets on

them we don't really use magnets because

that would make it too difficult for

them to come apart

but it sure looks like that

that's really cool mark plus you can

make them colorful

[Music]

you think with practice i could learn to

do that of course you could

here i got a ball spinning on my finger

kind of spins really fast and i can move

it around my arm and everything it's

pretty hard trick it looks really neat

you can do it for a long time you can

also balance the ball in your head

balancing right just above my forehead

there and then you can juggle at the

same time and i'm juggling these rings

and they're white on one side

then they have colors on the other side

so i can switch them back around

it takes a lot of practice but it sure

looks neat be careful

be careful

i'm gonna try to juggle while i'm

bouncing the ball and i'll throw a ring

with every right-hand throw

[Music]

that was great mark and you mean to tell

me that somebody once called you

butterfingers

why well what did you do well i asked

them to stop people who are your friends

shouldn't call you names tell them

they're hurting your feelings and ask

them to knock it off

yeah but you really think that'll help

if they're your friends definitely

yeah

i'll give it a try thanks mark you're

welcome ben

bye bye

oh

well

maybe he's right

hey

what have you done when people called

you names

you should

tell someone that they're calling new

names you should never never call them

names back i'd say just to ignore them

try to tell someone that can make them

stop think about something else think of

all the happy things that you have done

like

think of good things if anybody calls

you a bad name

or anything

never never try to get revenge just walk

away

yeah you kids and cousin mark are right

i'm gonna tell everybody how i feel

hey guys

guys could you come in here a minute

thank you what's up guys hey ben yeah

i want to tell you guys that i don't

like it when you called me butterfingers

okay

so i dropped the baton yeah but that can

happen to anyone

yeah and you guys hurt my feelings oh no

and if you're my friends

you'll stop calling me names

okay

gosh you're right bim

i didn't mean to make you feel bad

i'm sorry

i'm sorry too benny i i just thought

that it was a funny word to say oh me

too ben i mean it's not like i never

dropped anything in my whole entire life

i really don't know why we all laughed i

do

yeah ben calling you butterfingers made

all of us feel really great because we

didn't drop anything

calling someone a name is a bad way to

feel good about yourself

the baton
