- There.
Hey everybody, Telly Monster here.
As you can plainly see, I'm here at home.
I've made myself a little fort.
It's where I go when I need alone time.
My mom is nearby in case I get scared
and need a hug.
You there, Mom?
- [Mom] Right here, honey.
You need anything?
- Uh, no thanks.
Hey, do we have anymore batteries?
- [Mom] Yeah, plenty.
You need one?
- Mm, no, no, I'm still good.
- [Mom] You hungry yet?
- Getting there.
I'm making a movie for my friends.
They're also at home.
- [Mom] Say hi to them for me.
- My mom says hi.
I'm here under the covers because I feel comfortable here.
And safe.
You know, you can make your own fort.
Maybe we could call them com-forts.
(laughs)
It could be that favorite comfortable old chair of yours,
or that space between the couch and the wall,
or just an upside-down chair.
All you need is a blanket, couple of pillows,
flashlight here, and maybe a snack, and you're all set.
You know, sometimes my mom makes the best fort.
She'll sit there on the couch, hold out her arms,
and say, come into my office.
That's a time we can talk about anything.
Or nothing.
Just us.
(sighs)
Hey Mom, do we have any tomato soup?
- [Mom] Sure do.
Come on out and we'll make it together.
- All right!
(laughs)
Hey everybody, it'll be okay.
And everything's a little better after some tomato soup.
See ya.
(laughs)
Man, is it bright out here!
(upbeat music)
