Post by bunniefuu »

]] Hey, scientists. It's me--
sid. My grandma's a nurse, so,

She's giving me and my friends
a sh*t. So, my friends and I

Are going to discover that when
you think like a scientist,

Getting a vaccination is a
really good thing.

]] Hey, is this thing on?

Heh heh.

]] ♪ Hey, sid, what do you say?

What you want to learn today?

]] I want to know why
things happen and how and I

Want to know everything
now--oh, yeah!

How does this thing work?

Why does that stuff change?

How does that do what it just
did?

Hmm.

What's up with the sky?

Do you think I could fly?

The world is spinning and I
want to know why

I got a lot of questions
and big ideas

sid. And I've got the most

Amazing, super-duper news in the
whole world. Today, my grandma

Is coming to school. How cool is
that? Hee hee hee.

[Imitating drums]
pshhh.

♪ She's the best grandma

[Imitating electric guitar]
blam. Yeah, thank you, audience.

Woohoo! Oh, I forgot to tell you
why grandma's coming to school.

Well, my grandma's a nurse, so
she's giving me and my friends

A sh*t. It's because our moms
and dads want us to get a flu

Vatishmation. Or something like
that. Anyway, I know my grandma

Loves me, so there must be a
good reason for getting a sh*t,

Because hey, sh*ts kind of hurt.

So, I just gotta know: why do I
have to get a sh*t?

["sh*t" echoing]
]] sid, breakfast time.

]] Ooh. Ha ha. Breakfast tiiime!

Hey, good morning, mom. Morning,
dad.

]] Morning, sid.

]] So, today is a really,
really, really special day.

♪ Grandma's coming to school
today ♪

]] [Imitating drums]
[laughter]

]] Hey, mom, what's that thing
called when you get a sh*t?

]] You mean a vaccination?

]] Oh. Yeah, that's it. Um,
well, I'm not so sure I want a

Vaccination. Hey, maybe I don't
even need one.

]] Sid, sweetie, your dad and I
love you, and we think getting a

Vaccination is the best way
to stay healthy, so you don't

Catch the flu virus.

]] A flu walrus?

]] Ha. No, it's a flu virus.

]] Oh.

]] See, a virus is something
that can make you sick.

Remember last winter I had the
flu virus? Yeah, I had a fever,

And all day long, I went
[ahchoo]

And I also went [coughing]
and I felt all [speaking

Gibberish] ha ha. Ah. Boy, I
wish I'd gotten the flu

Vaccination. Then maybe I
wouldn't have gotten so sick.

]] And, lucky for you, today,
grandma's going to give you a

Vaccination for the new
flu virus.

]] Oh. So, all I have to do
to stay healthy is get a

Vaccination?

]] Well, a vaccination is a
great way to stay healthy, but

You also need to sneeze into
your elbow or use a tissue

And throw it away.

]] Mm.

]] And, most important...

]] What?

]] Wash your hands with soap
and water.

]] Wash your hands with
soap and water.

]] [Laughter]
]] and here at home, we could

Probably do a little extra
cleaning, to get rid of germs.

What do you think, mort?

]] Hey, great idea, alice.

I'm on it. Ok, where are all
the places we touch?

]] I know what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna eat breakfast so I can
go to school and see grandma.

Had a sh*t?

]] Yes, I have. Oh, and my dad

Told me a joke to make me
feel better.

]] Ooh, can I hear it?

]] Ok. Why do chickens
sit on their eggs?

]] I don't know. Why do
chickens sit on their eggs?

]] Because they don't have
chairs!

]] [Laughter]
]] that's a good one. Ha ha.

Because they don't have chairs.

That's funny. Oh, hi, may.

[Giggles] no big deal. You know
who else had a sh*t?

]] Who?

]] My cat moo shu, at the vet.

You know what she thought about
getting a sh*t?

]] What?

Ha ha ha. Oh, oh, looky here.

Oh, oh, and you look like a
nice young man. So, what's

Your name?

]] Well--grandma!

]] Oh, it's my sid. Hey, kiddo.

]] Hey.

]] Sid's grandma, are you really
a nurse?

]] Oh, you betcha, kiddo. I've
been a nurse for years.

]] Hey, what's the coolest
band-aid you've ever seen?

]] Oh, I brought it with me
today. It's a band-aid with a

Picture of a bear wearing a
cowboy hat. Ha ha.

]] Oh, wow.

]] If you're a nurse, does that
mean you give sh*ts?

]] Oh, you're talking about a
vaccination sh*t. I sure do,

May.

]] And that's exactly why sid's
grandma's here. Remember I sent

Home a note to your parents
asking about a flu vaccination?

]] Yes.

]] Well, they all gave
permission, and today's the day.

]] Oh, I forgot. I--i'm not sure
I want a sh*t.

]] Oh. Well, I know, sh*ts hurt
a little, but I have to use a

Needle because it's the best way
to get that vaccination into

Your body.

]] Oh. The vaccination goes
into your body?

]] Oh, it sure does, kiddo.

The vaccination protects your
body so the bad, old flu virus

Won't make you sick. I got my
vaccination last month, and now

I'm as healthy as can be.

[Laughs]
]] wait. The vaccination

Protects us? How does it
do that?

]] Oh, you're all asking great
questions, and I know getting a

sh*t doesn't seem like fun. But
when you think like a scientist,

Getting a vaccination's actually
a really good thing.

So, let's see. Do I have any
scientists here?

]] Ooh, me! Me!

]] [All talking at once]
]] ok, scientists. Let's take a

Look at what really happens
when you get a vaccination.

]] What's that stuff
inside the needle?

]] Well, that's the vaccination.

It's medicine that helps your
body make antibodies.

]] Antibodies?

]] Yes. Antibodies in your body
fight the virus and protect you,

So you won't get sick. That
means you're immune.

]] Oh, I wanna be immune.

]] Yeah, I wanna be immune.

]] Ah, that's great. Now that
you're all thinking like

Scientists, I think you're ready
for your vaccinations. So let's

All go to the...

]] Oh, I know. To the
super fab lab.

]] Yeah! To the super fab lab!

The whole town. So, by getting a
vaccination today, you're

Helping to keep yourself healthy

How about that?
