MARIA MENOUNOS: Hi, I'm Maria.
And I'm here to tell you all about the word "senses." Now,
the senses are what we use to experience
everything around us.
And there are five of them, sight, sound,
smell, touch, and taste.
And I'm going to use all of my senses right now.
OSCAR: Hey, can you scram and go use your
senses somewhere else?
MARIA MENOUNOS: Sorry, Oscar.
I can't.
Today's word is senses, so I have to show
everyone the five senses.
OSCAR: Oh yeah?
Well, if you're going to use your senses around here, you
have to use them on some Grouchy stuff.
MARIA MENOUNOS: Great idea!
Thanks, Oscar.
OSCAR: Don't mention it.
[LAUGHS]
Now here, feast your eyes on this.
MARIA MENOUNOS: OK.
I'm using my sense of sight, and I see that
this painting is messy.
OSCAR: And awful, right?
MARIA MENOUNOS: Actually, I kind of like it.
It totally reminds me of a great abstract artist, and it
really pleases my senses.
OSCAR: Well, forget this, then.
Let's move on to your sense of hearing.
[PLUCKING]
What is this sound?
MARIA MENOUNOS: Nice.
OSCAR: What?
MARIA MENOUNOS: It sounds just like my kitty cat sounds when
she wants me to pet her tummy.
I love my kitty.
OSCAR: OK, forget hearing.
Use your senses and smell this!
MARIA MENOUNOS: Mmm!
OSCAR: "Mmm"?
What do you mean "mmm"?
These are rotten eggs!
Ew, these smell terrible.
MARIA MENOUNOS: Not to me.
You see, I always put rotten eggs in the soil when I'm
gardening, and they always help me to
grow beautiful flowers.
So I love the smell of rotten eggs.
OSCAR: Fine, forget the eggs.
Use your senses and feel this!
MARIA MENOUNOS: Hmm, soothing.
OSCAR: Soothing?
But this is yucky, muddy muck!
MARIA MENOUNOS: And it feels great!
It reminds me of that stuff they use on me
when I go to the spa.
OSCAR: Ugh.
OK, OK, forget that.
What about this?
MARIA MENOUNOS: Ew!
Is that a chocolate mint sardine sundae?
OSCAR: Yes.
Care to use your senses and taste it?
MARIA MENOUNOS: Yuck, no.
OSCAR: Didn't think so.
MARIA MENOUNOS: Not without a pickle!
OSCAR: What?
MARIA MENOUNOS: There.
Now it should taste yummy.
OSCAR: Oh, that's it.
I've had it!
MARIA MENOUNOS: Mmm, senses!
