Someone said they'd like to see another EW parody, so without further ado:

(Cue Elmo’s World theme:

Elmo (in high, squeaky voice): Hi, welcome to Elmo’s World. Elmo’s so happy to see you. Guess what Elmo’s thinking about today. La-da-da-da! (Hears a knock)Just a minute. (He opens it, a girl of about 14 steps in) Oh, hi, it’s Elmo’s babysitter, Kiersten. And Kiersten’s wearing all white. That means Elmo must be thinking about…la da da da! Nurses!

Kiersten: No, I don’t’ want to be a nurse. I thought I did when my older sister became one at first, but not now.

Elmo: Oh. Okay. La da da da! Doctors!

Kiersten: No…should I just tell them?

Elmo: If Kiersten wants to tell them.

Kiersten: Well, I’m thinking about veternarian because I love horses, but right now, I’m being a speech pathologist.

Elmo: Oh, okay. Guess what Elmo’s thinking a-…wait a minute. (He shakes his head slightly) Elmo can't be thinking about that. Elmo doesn’t know what that is.

Kiersten: It’s someone who works with someone to cure a speech impediment.

Elmo: Oh. Well, come on, I bet Mr. Noodle can help. Oh, shade. (Shade opens) Oh, hi, Mr. Noodle. Mr. Noodle, do you have a speech impediment? (He nods his head) Really? Why? (Somehow, a chicken comes flying out of Mr. Noodle’s mouth - muppet of course - then a cow, followed by an elephant!)

Elmo (as shade closes the scene shifts back to him): Ha ha ha. Oh, that Mr. Noodle, no wonder he couldn't talk. Elmo wonders if he’s related to that old lady who swallowed a fly. Remember, she swallowed a bunch of animals, too.

Kiersten: That’s right, she did. Excellent.

Elmo: Yeah, that’s a funny song. Does Kiersten know that song?

Kiersten: Do you know that song?

Elmo: Elmo sure does, it’s so funny.

Kiersten: No, I mean, it’s do you remember that song, Kiersten?

Elmo: Elmo’s name is Elmo; Kiersten is Kiersten.

Kiersten (holding out her hands): Elmo, look. Say my name.

Elmo: Kiersten.

Kiersten: Very good. Now, say the word “she.”

Elmo: She. This is a strange game Kiersten's playing.

Kiersten: Well…it’s called the name changing game.

Elmo: Oh, oh, Elmo knows. Elmo wants to change his name to…Big Bird.

Kiersten: No!

Elmo: Okay, Elmo will be Telly Monster, then.

Kiersten: Elmo, no, you can only have one of two different names int his game. I or me.

Elmo: I or me, I or me. Hmmm, okay, got it.

Kiersten: Now, let me tap you on the head. (she taaps him)

Elmo: Oh, is this like tag?

Kiersten: No, I just want you to say that I tapped you on the head with your new name of me.

Elmo: Oh, okay. Hmmm, let’s see…Kiersten tapped me on the head.

Kiersten (claps her hands excitedly): Very good, Elmo!

Elmo: But, why did Elmo’s name change?

Kiersten: Because Elmo was the person you were talking about. You said something happened to you.

Elmo: Who is this you person?

Kiersten: Elmo! (To the camera) Now I know why I like horses, they understand me when I talk to them. (Back to Elmo): Do you understand what I just said?

Elmo: Nay.

Kiersten: Okay, let’s try it this way…

Elmo: Wait, Elmo’s World is over half over, and Elmo still hadn’t asked a baby.

Kiersten (hands on hips): And just what do you want to ask a baby?

Elmo: Hmmm, good question. (He starts to think) Think, think, think, think…

Kiersten: Don’t bother, the baby can’t answer you, anyway!

Elmo: Okay, Elmo will ask Kiersten a question instead. What should Elmo ask?

Kiersten: Okay, this is good - now we’ll use two different names. You will repeat the same question, but you will call yourself “I” and call me “you.”

Elmo: Call Kiersten Elmo?

Kiersten: No, I mean instead of the name Kiersten, you will say “you.” Understand - what should I ask you?

Elmo: Elmo doesn’t know what Kiersten should ask. (To the audience) ANd now, Elmo has a question forrrrr you!

Kiersten (excited): Elmo, that's just how you shoudl say it.

Elmo: What is?

Kiersten: What you just said to the audience. You called them you.

Elmo: Well, of course, becasue Elmo doesn't know their names.

Kiersten: Even if you knew their names, it's how you should call someone when you're talking to them - you call them "you."

Elmo: Is that part of that name changing thing.

Kiersten: Yes, yes it is. You should call me by the name of "you."

Elmo: Oh, okay, got it. (Bob enters the room)

Bob (excitedly): Hi, Elmo, boy, what a great day out there, why don't you come out and play with us.

Elmo: In a minute. (Points to Kiersten) Bob, this is you.

Bob: Huh?

Kiersten: Well, that's about all the time we have; it looks like if I would become a speech pathologist, though, this would be one tough case. Bye.

-------------

(Flash to Oscar and Slimey)

Oscar: What's that, Slimey? Yeah, yeah, I know. She'd have her work cut out for her. But I'm glad she didn't take an even tougher job. I'd hate for a nice girl like that to mess up my system and try to be a maid in my trash can.

Not bad, but what I would have liked to see is at the end when Elmo was calling himself 'Elmo,' you should have had Kiersten teach him how to say 'I.'
Just a thought. Really good story though.

Hey, like she said, it's a tough case :smile: But, once I get time & more inspiration, I might come up with something there, too.
