Just Because

Little Girl: "This looks like a good place to put this

letter Y. It's a letter that comes after X and just

before Z. I bet Grover doesn't know what this letter is!"



Grover: "Skedaddle... skedaddle.

.. skaddle-UP! I bet you think Grover does not know what this letter is."



Little Girl: "Well, Grover, do you?"



Grover: "No."



Little Girl: "I didn't think so."



Grover: "It's very pretty!

It starts out with one line at the bottom and splits

into two lines at the top."



Little Girl: "That's what it looks like. But what is this letter called?"



Grover: "I do not know. Tell me."



Little Girl: "Y." (sounds like "Why?")



Grover: "Because I want to know."



Little Girl: "Y."



Grover: "So I can be smart. Please tell me."



Little Girl: "I already did!"



Grover: "You did?"



Little Girl: "Hmm-hmm."



Grover: "Would you tell me again?"



Little Girl: "Y."



Grover: "Because I did not hear you before."



Little Girl: "Y."



Grover: "I don't know! Maybe my ears are on backwards! How should I know?!"



Little Girl: "Grover, let me give you a little hint."



Grover: "All right."



Little Girl: "This is the letter that you hear at the

beginnings of words like yellow, yarn, year, and yo-yo."



Grover: "Hmm... It has a cute little yih-yih sound,

but I do not know what it is called."



Little Girl: "Y."



Grover: "Maybe because NO ONE WILL TELL ME!"



Little Girl: "Y!"



Grover: "How should I know?! Maybe no one likes me!"



Little Girl: "Y!"



Grover: (crying) "I don't know why no one likes me! I try to be so nice..."



Little Girl: "The answer is Y!

Y-Y-Y! The letter is called Y, like W, X, Y, Z!"



Grover: "...That's the letter Y?"



Little Girl: "That's what I've been trying to tell you!"



Grover: "... I am sooo embarrassed..."
