EPISODE #35 Explanation - For episodes 36 to 46, we have some special symbols.. The symbol '' means... snap with both hands, clap once, then cross forearms and snap again. The symbol '&% means... snap with both hands, clap once, then point both thumbs down. The symbol '^ means... snap with both hands, clap once, then point both thumbs up. Announcer* Once upon a time, there was a seashore town nobody ever heard of... except for the 25,000 people who came there every summer. It had a name that sounded something like Commotion Cove... Studio Voice Do you mean Ocean Grove? Announcer I suppose I do... though there was one summer, many years ago, when you probably could have changed the name to Commotion Cove... because that's almost what happened. Studio Voice What did happen? Announcer That's what I'm about to tell you. But first - this suggestion. Studio Voice What suggestion? Announcer Ladies and Gentlemen, don't touch that radio dial... cause it's KIDSTIME! _______________________ Steve I suppose we should start at the beginning. It was early summer... you know, those days when you wake up, and suddenly you realize you don't have to go to school... and the sun is warm but the air is still cool... That's how it was for Cindy Mindy... yes, unusual name, but we got used to it... actually, we shortened it to Cinnamon. She's the waitress at The Sandy Pants Cafe. Cinnamon Oh, what a gorgeous day this is. I feel like I'm on top of the world. Hi, Steve. Hi, Little Wonder. Little Wonder Is your name really Cindy Mindy? Cinnamon Yes, but just call me Cinnamon. Little Wonder Okay, and you can call me LW. Cinnamon LW? No, you're Little Wonder. I like your name. You should keep it just the way it is. Little Wonder Okay... if you think so. Cinnamon Hey, Boss. I'm here. Steve Oh, the Boss. I haven't told you about him. His name is Antonio Spagonio Linguonio. We call him Spaghetti. He stays in the back mostly... to do the cooking... but he has this bird that thinks the back of this counter (where all the condiments are stored) is his own private "condimentominium"... We call the bird "Meatball." Meatball Hey, that's not my name. Little Wonder We know that's not your name, but if you hang around long enough with someone named Spaghetti, pretty soon people will call you Meatball. Cinnamon You tell him, Little Wonder. Meatball Well, I think it's a disgraceful name, especially for a creature of such noble class and high distinction as me. Why, I was the first bird to make a non-stop flight from New York to Paris. Cinnamon That's because you got your beak stuck in the wing of Charles Lindbergh's plane. Meatball If that's all the respect I get, I'm going back down in my condimentominium. Little Wonder Look, here comes Grandpa. Cinnamon Good morning, Grandpa. How are you on this fine day? Grandpa Oh, not as chipper as I'd like to be. I feel a storm coming on. Cinnamon Storm? There's not a cloud in the sky. Grandpa Not that kind of storm. A different kind... the kind that engulfs you... catches you by surprise... comes from an angle you least expect. I tell you, I can feel it in my bones. Little Wonder Oh, Grandpa. That sounds bad. And this is such a nice day, too. Grandpa I know it sounds bad... and you know why? Because it is bad. I can feel it in my bones. This hip of mine has never failed to predict a storm. Mark my words. Steve Oh, look who's here. It's Lilyann Breadstick, and her daughter, Cream Puff. Cinnamon Oh, Cream Puff!!! Hi, Lilyann. Now that you and Cream Puff are here, I'd say this is definitely a perfect morning. Lilyann Hi, Cinnamon. How is everyone at the Cafe? Steve I feel terrific. Little Wonder And I feel wonderful. Cinnamon Me? Schooldays are over, and I'm looking at a great summer. Lilyann How about you, Grandpa? Grandpa Oh, I'm fine as a fish getting flipped on the griddle. I tell you, Lilyann, there's a bit o' wild weather coming, or my hip isn't nicknamed "Barometer." Lilyann A bit o' wild weather? Grandpa, you must be joking. There's not a cloud in the sky. Cinnamon That's what I said. Grandpa I'm not talking about the clouds you see with your eyes. I'm talking about the clouds you feel in your heart. Steve I thought you said you felt it in your hip. Grandpa Listen, Sonny. I've been around Auditorium Square a few more times than you... and I tell you, I have one of the "hippest" hearts around. Lilyann That's right, Grandpa. The heart bone's connected to the hip bone. Grandpa You tell 'em, Lilyann. But I'm warning you all... storms are on the horizon. Announcer Now... freeze the action for a moment. I want you to take a look at this scene, take a good look, memorize these names, look in their faces... because Grandpa was right. Something was coming that would turn Ocean Grove into Commotion Cove. And Grandpa felt it, because his heart bone was connected to his hip bone. Now, back to the action. Lilyann Well, I hope you're wrong, but if there is a storm coming, how would you get ready for it? (Meatball appears) Grandpa Pray, my friends. We should all go about our business, but deep inside... the word is "pray." Little Wonder That reminds me of a verse... Pray without ceasing. All right, then, who's in? Lilyann? Will you pray along with Grandpa and me? Lilyann I sure will. Little Wonder And you, Cinnamon? Cinnamon Definitely... count me in! Steve? Steve I think I'll have the pancake special. Meatball Eh, there's one in every crowd. Lilyann Steve, we weren't talking about food. Will you pray without ceasing? Steve Uh... Sure, why not? Meatball Now I've heard everything. (Meatball disappears) Little Wonder Then we're in, Grandpa. "Cream Puff and the Prayer Warriors." Grandpa That's good, you guys, cause with my hip feeling the way it does, I think we're going to need it. Announcer And so the summer started, but not the way anyone anticipated. There were no clouds in the sky, but Grandpa knew better, because his hip bone was connected to his heart bone. Okay, kids, that's all for today. Tune in next week, when you'll hear us say... All KIDSTIME invites you to The Sandy Pants Cafe!	EPISODE #36 Announcer Once upon a time, there was a small town no one ever heard of. If it weren't for the 25,000 people who came there every summer, it might not have been on the map. The town's name sounded like Commotion Cove. Studio Voice Do you mean Ocean Grove? Announcer Yes, actually, I do... but there was a time when it could have been called Commotion Cove. Studio Voice And that's why you're telling me this story, right? Announcer Yes, you and a lot of others. Studio Voice What others? Announcer All those who are waiting for us to say, "Don't touch that radio dial... cause it's KIDSTIME!" (music theme) _______________________ Steve If you were here last week, then you remember how Grandpa said there was a storm coming - he felt it in his bones. Well, I'm here to tell you that seven glorious summer days went by, and we've forgotten all about storms. Even Grandpa stopped talking about it. Where is he now? Out back in the herb garden with Spaghetti (the guy who owns this cafe), Cinnamon (the waitress), and Lilyann Breadstick and her daughter, Cream Puff. Meatball, the bird, is asleep behind the counter in his condimentominium. Little Wonder and I were saying how beautiful the day was when in walked... Little Wonder Hey, Steve, who's that? Steve I have no idea. Jalopeno Hey, Charlie, good to see you? Tabasco Hey, Charlie, how's it going? Steve Who are you calling Charlie? Jalapeno Oh, come on. Every place like this has someone named Charlie in it. Tabasco Since you're the only one here, you must be him. (laughs) Jalapeno Pleased to meet you. My name's Jalopeno Pepper. Tabasco And I'm Tabasco Sauce. Jalapeno & Tabasco And we're... ''... Hot Stuff!!! Meatball* Hey, what's going on here? Jalapeno Well, knock me over with a fry pan and a spatula. You guys got a communicatin' bird? Tabasco Yo, "Beak-boy," how's life behind the counter? Are you the one who does all the feather-dusting? (laughs) Meatball My name... is Meatball. Jalapeno Meatball? Tabasco Know what we do with meatballs? We pound them! (pounds him three times) Meatball Why did I bother waking up this morning? Jalapeno Move over, Sweetie Cakes. I gotta talk to the boss here. Little Wonder He just called me Sweetie Cakes. Steve Yes, I know. Jalapeno Now listen here, Charlie. Steve I still don't understand who you're calling Charlie. Tabasco Don't understand, huh? I get it now. He's the dummy. (laughs) Jalapeno (speaking to Steve) Look, here's the deal. You got a town here, right? (Tabasco - Right) And nobody knows about it, right? (Tabasco - Right.) That's why we're here. Tabasco Yeah, when we get done, Ocean Cove will be "On The Map." Little Wonder It's Ocean Grove. Jalapeno Grove, Schmove. We need a place for our headquarters, and The Sandy Plants Cafe is just fine. Meatball That's Sandy Pants. Tabasco Pants, Schmants. We'll be back with signs and posters. Jalapeno 'Cause I, Jalapeno Pepper, am running for Mayor. Tabasco And I, Tabasco Sauce, am helping him in his grand quest for Mayor. Jalapeno & Tabasco And we're... ''... Hot Stuff!!! Announcer* Without even saying goodbye, they walked out, leaving Meatball, Steve, and Little Wonder a bit shocked. A few minutes later, the others came in. Cinnamon Oh, how lucky we are! We have a nice, little Cafe in a town that never changes. Spaghetti is a great boss, and we have the best friends anyone could ask for. Hey, what's wrong with Meatball and Steve and Little Wonder? Lilyann Steve? What is it? Grandpa Meatball, what's up with you? Steve (in a daze) Oh, hi. You're here. Grandpa Yeah. Where were you? Steve Ask Little Wonder to explain. Little Wonder It was really wierd. Two guys come walking in. First they pounded Meatball. They called Steve "Charlie" and me "Sweetie Cakes." Then they said they were going to put Ocean Grove "Schmove" on the map. One of them's running for Mayor. Cinnamon Running for Mayor? Meatball Yeah. One's named Tabasco Sauce, and the other is Jalapeno Pepper. Grandpa Well, Hot Diggety Pickens! Lilyann Grandpa? You know them? Grandpa Tell me, did they do this? '' Little Wonder* Yes! That's exactly what they did. Grandpa Here we go again. And after all these years. They're back... the Hot Stuff Gang! My hip was right. We're in for a very HOT summer. Cinnamon What are we going to do, Grandpa? Is this why you told us to pray? Grandpa Yes, my friends. I didn't know what it would be, but this is it. Little Wonder Grandpa, we can pray right now. Grandpa Yes, Little Wonder. We can. Announcer So Grandpa prayed while the rest gathered around. Studio Voice Right there in the Sandy Pants Cafe? Announcer You got it. Right there at the counter they asked for wisdom and help. You see, you can pray anywhere. Studio Voice Even in a condimentominium? Announcer Yes, even there. When they finished praying, Grandpa spoke. Grandpa Meatball, Steve, Little Wonder, Lilyann, Cinnamon, Cream Puff. Listen. Sometimes you have to pray, and sometimes you have to act. Cinnamon What action do we take, Grandpa? Grandpa I need you to help me. Lilyann Grandpa? What are you going to do? Grandpa I'm Running For Mayor! Announcer And if you had walked by the Cafe, you would have seen surprised expressions on their faces. Deep in their hearts they knew this was going to be a HOT, HOT summer. That's all for today, kids. Until next time, remember... All KIDSTIME invites you to The Sandy Pants Cafe!	EPISODE #37 Announcer Ladies and gentlemen, two weeks have passed in the little town nobody ever heard of. Studio Voice I've heard of it. Announcer That's because you live here. Studio Voice That's right, I do. But there are others who've heard of it. Announcer What others? Studio Voice The 25,000 people who visit here every summer. Announcer And how do you know them? Studio Voice Because half of them stayed at the Ocean Vista! Announcer Well, to all those who stayed at the Ocean Vista, and to the other half who didn't... "Don't touch that radio dial... cause it's KIDSTIME!" (music theme) ____________________ Steve Last week, two men (who thought they were Hot Stuff) walked into this cafe. One was named Tabasco Sauce. The other? Jalapeno Pepper! "Jal" said he was running for Mayor. Grandpa, who felt comfortable praying anywhere, prayed right here at this counter... and then surprised us all by saying he too was running for Mayor. So began the hot, hot summer that turned Ocean Grove into Commotion Cove. Cinnamon Hi, Steve. Hi, Little Wonder. Where's Meatball? Steve He's down in his condimentominium looking for some poster board. Cinnamon He keeps poster board down there? Little Wonder He keeps everything down there! Meatball Ah ha! I knew I had some. Cinnamon Meatball, where did you find this? Meatball In my stash! Everyone should have a stash. That's what I say. Cinnamon What's the poster board for? Little Wonder So we can make signs saying, "Grandpa for Mayor!" Meatball We want to turn the Cafe into Grandpa's campaign headquarters. Cinnamon Oh. Did you ask the boss yet? Steve No, we just got the idea a minute ago. Cinnamon Well, I'll ask him. Hey, Spaghetti, is it okay if we turn the Cafe into Grandpa's campaign headquarters? Spaghetti Hey, you a-playing your a-games again? Last a-month it was the a-Stokes a-Fire Depart-ment. The month a-before that it was the a-Camp a-Meeting Association. Oh, go ahead. I'm a-probably the only Cafe owner in de world who has no control over his own restaurante. Cinnamon Thank you, Spaghetti. This will only be for the rest of the summer. Spaghetti What? The a-rest of the a-summer? This is when I say to myself, "Antonio, Antonio! What were you a-thinking when you opened this a-place? They change a-my name to Spaghetti. They make a-the Cafe their headquarters. I think I'll go and a-make a-me a calzone! Little Wonder Are you sure we should do this? Cinnamon Oh, it's all right. That's his way of saying "Yes." Spaghetti It's a-times like this I think I should have a-been a plumber. Steve Hey, look. Here comes Lilyann Breadstick and Cream Puff. Cinnamon Lilyann. Cream Puff. You're here. And just in time to help us make posters for Grandpa. Lilyann Oh, you're making posters? What a great idea. But where are the markers? Meatball Markers? Wait! I'll be right back. Cinnamon He keeps everything down in his stash. Lilyann I didn't know Meatball had a stash in his condimentominium. Little Wonder Meatball is an amazing bird. Steve I think Grandpa's an amazing bird. Cinnamon Yeah. Suddenly deciding to run for Mayor like that? Little Wonder Lilyann, why do you think Grandpa decided to run for Mayor right after we finished praying? Lilyann I think it's because he feels there is a challenge he needs to face. Little Wonder And praying helped him figure that out? Lilyann Yes, I think so. There's something about being quiet and still before God that helps you understand things... helps you know what direction you need to take next. Steve I think you're right. He really did sound confident when he told us he was running. Meatball I knew I had markers. Took me a while to find them though. They were behind my jacuzzi. Cinnamon Hey, who's that coming in? Little Wonder Uh, oh. That's Jalapeno Pepper, and he doesn't look too happy. Jalapeno All right, Charlie, listen up. I need some information from you, and I want it straight, okay? Where is this "Grandpa" dude? Lilyann Do you mean Grandpa who's running for Mayor? Jalapeno That's exactly what I mean! I don't take too kindly to competition. I'm Jalapeno Pepper! Meatball Well, Jal, maybe Grandpa's not here right now. Jalapeno Listen, Meatball. I'm running for Mayor... and I'm '' Hot Stuff. And Grandpa is '% Not Stuff! Cinnamon Well, we think Grandpa is pretty hot. He's "Hot Diggety Pickens!" Little Wonder Yeah, Mr. Jalapeno. Maybe you're the one who's not so hot. Jalapeno Hey, Sweetie Cakes. I don't have to take no abuse. Where is this "Hot Diggety Pickens" Grandpa? Lilyann We told you. He isn't here. Jalapeno I know he's not here. Where is he? Meatball Well... uh, in a manner of speaking... Jalapeno Come on! Get it out, Beak-Boy. Meatball He's on... his honeymoon. Jalapeno WHAT??? Do you mean to tell me that "Hot Diggety Pickens" himself announced his candidacy for Mayor and then left on his HONEYMOON? Cinnamon Yeah, he told us he was running for Mayor at about 9:30 in the morning. Lilyann At five o'clock that evening, he TIED THE KNOT. Jalapeno I don't believe you. Who would want to marry Grandpa? Little Wonder Someone who thinks he's Hot Stuff. Jalapeno Oh, cut me a break. I'm out-a-here. Tell Grandpa not to dance with me. Steve Don't worry, he's already dancing with someone else. Announcer And if you had walked by the Cafe, you would have seen Jalapeno walking out very angry. But everyone else was laughing as he left. Guess that's all for today, kids. Until next time, remember... All KIDSTIME invites you to The Sandy Pants Cafe!

Cinnamon He keeps everything down in his stash. Lilyann I didn't know Meatball had a stash in his condimentominium. Little Wonder Meatball is an amazing bird. Steve I think Grandpa's an amazing bird. Cinnamon Yeah. Suddenly deciding to run for Mayor like that? Little Wonder Lilyann, why do you think Grandpa decided to run for Mayor right after we finished praying? Lilyann I think it's because he feels there is a challenge he needs to face. Little Wonder And praying helped him figure that out? Lilyann Yes, I think so. There's something about being quiet and still before God that helps you understand things... helps you know what direction you need to take next. Steve I think you're right. He really did sound confident when he told us he was running. Meatball I knew I had markers. Took me a while to find them though. They were behind my jacuzzi. Cinnamon Hey, who's that coming in? Little Wonder Uh, oh. That's Jalapeno Pepper, and he doesn't look too happy. Jalapeno All right, Charlie, listen up. I need some information from you, and I want it straight, okay? Where is this "Grandpa" dude? Lilyann Do you mean Grandpa who's running for Mayor? Jalapeno That's exactly what I mean! I don't take too kindly to competition. I'm Jalapeno Pepper! Meatball Well, Jal, maybe Grandpa's not here right now. Jalapeno Listen, Meatball. I'm running for Mayor... and I'm '' Hot Stuff. And Grandpa is '% Not Stuff! Cinnamon Well, we think Grandpa is pretty hot. He's "Hot Diggety Pickens!" Little Wonder Yeah, Mr. Jalapeno. Maybe you're the one who's not so hot. Jalapeno Hey, Sweetie Cakes. I don't have to take no abuse. Where is this "Hot Diggety Pickens" Grandpa? Lilyann We told you. He isn't here. Jalapeno I know he's not here. Where is he? Meatball Well... uh, in a manner of speaking... Jalapeno Come on! Get it out, Beak-Boy. Meatball He's on... his honeymoon. Jalapeno WHAT??? Do you mean to tell me that "Hot Diggety Pickens" himself announced his candidacy for Mayor and then left on his HONEYMOON? Cinnamon Yeah, he told us he was running for Mayor at about 9:30 in the morning. Lilyann At five o'clock that evening, he TIED THE KNOT. Jalapeno I don't believe you. Who would want to marry Grandpa? Little Wonder Someone who thinks he's Hot Stuff. Jalapeno Oh, cut me a break. I'm out-a-here. Tell Grandpa not to dance with me. Steve Don't worry, he's already dancing with someone else. Announcer And if you had walked by the Cafe, you would have seen Jalapeno walking out very angry. But everyone else was laughing as he left. Guess that's all for today, kids. Until next time, remember... All KIDSTIME invites you to The Sandy Pants Cafe!
