00:00PBS Kids opens worlds of possibilities for all children, thanks to PBS stations and viewers like you.
00:07Martha was an average dog. She went,
00:11But when she ate some alphabet soup, then what happened was bizarre.
00:16On the way to Martha's stomach, the letters lost their way.
00:20They traveled to her brain and,
00:22She's got a lot to say, now she speaks.
00:26How now, brown cow?
00:27Martha speaks.
00:28Yeah, she speaks and speaks and speaks and speaks and speaks.
00:31What's a caboose? What are we eating again?
00:33Martha speaks.
00:34Hey Joe, what do you know?
00:36My name's not Joe.
00:37She's not always right, but still that Martha speaks.
00:40Hi there!
00:41She's got a voice, she's ready to shout.
00:43Martha will tell you what it's all about.
00:46Sometimes wrong, but seldom doubt.
00:48Martha will tell you what it's all about.
00:50That dog's you.
00:51Testing, one, two.
00:53Hear her speak.
00:54Martha speaks and speaks and speaks and speaks and...
00:57Communicates, enumerates, elucidates, exaggerates,
00:59Indicates and explicates,
01:00Claveates and overspaces and...
01:02Hyperventilates!
01:03Martha to reiterate, Martha speaks!
01:07Hi! Welcome to the show.
01:09Martha, you've been replaced.
01:11Replaced?
01:12We wanted to include you in the show, but it looks like we can't.
01:15How can you exclude me?
01:17The name of the show is Martha Speaks.
01:20Now don't get sensitive.
01:21I'm not sensitive.
01:22It's just that I took a bath.
01:24Wait a minute.
01:25You're just using today's vocabulary, right?
01:28Bingo.
01:29Listen for words like include and exclude,
01:32aggressive and aggravated,
01:33and we'll see you at the end of the show.
01:35Go ahead, Jake.
01:36Give it a try.
01:37Is your name Jake?
01:38I am not excluding you.
01:39You just have to wait your turn.
01:40Go ahead, Jake.
01:41Go ahead, Jake.
01:54Give it a try.
01:55Is your name Jake?
01:57I am not excluding you.
02:00You just have to wait your turn.
02:02Go ahead, Jake.
02:03Go ahead, Jake.
02:04Go ahead, Jake.
02:05Go ahead, Jake.
02:06Go ahead, Jake.
02:07Go ahead, Jake.
02:08Go ahead, Jake.
02:09Go ahead, Jake.
02:10Go ahead, Jake.
02:11Go ahead, Jake.
02:12Go ahead, Jake.
02:13Oh, hey, Charlie.
02:14Uh, hi.
02:16Helen's not here.
02:17She's at the library with TD.
02:19Well, actually, I was hoping I could talk to you.
02:23Oh, sure.
02:24Shoot.
02:25Alone.
02:29Okay.
02:32Skits, don't hog that squeaky.
02:35Sorry about that.
02:36It's just, I'm having a problem with babies these days.
02:40Really?
02:41Why?
02:42Babies are fun.
02:43They laugh at everything.
02:44And they're always covered in food.
02:46I love them.
02:48You and everybody else.
02:50How's a regular kid supposed to compete with a baby?
02:54Huh?
02:55Uh.
02:56Well, I'll tell you how.
02:58They can't.
02:59No one can.
03:00My baby's are cute and cuddly.
03:02They have horrible sentence structure.
03:05Me tired.
03:07Me want food.
03:09They talk like tiny cavemen.
03:12But everybody thinks it's so cute.
03:16Oh, true, man.
03:17I have great sentence structure and no cuddly factor.
03:22I don't stand a chance.
03:24Well, maybe you should stay away from home when your mom's daycare is open.
03:28Are you kidding?
03:29She has daycare every day.
03:31Those babies are always around.
03:33I never go home.
03:35Of course, it's not like my mom would notice.
03:39That's not true?
03:41Is so.
03:42She doesn't think I'm special anymore.
03:44I've been replaced by a bunch of yowling babies.
03:48Wow.
03:49You are really touchy about babies.
03:52What happened?
03:54I got a start today on my macaroni bean map.
03:58Congratulations!
03:59But my mom couldn't care less.
04:02Every time I tried to tell her about it...
04:05Hey, Mom!
04:06Guess what?
04:07What?
04:08Oh.
04:09Just a minute, Truman.
04:10Some baby got in the way.
04:12Okay.
04:13What were you saying?
04:15Uh-oh.
04:16Just a minute.
04:21What were you saying?
04:23Oh, dear.
04:25It's like that all the time.
04:31It's like I'm not even there.
04:33She doesn't even notice me.
04:35Of course, she notices you.
04:37She loves you.
04:39Babies need a lot of attention.
04:40But you're her favorite.
04:42Believe it or not, I know just how you feel.
04:46You mean, you're jealous of baby Jake?
04:49No.
04:51Baby skits.
04:53I remember it like it was yesterday.
05:00At first, I liked having skits around.
05:03Puppies really keep you on your toes.
05:09And they have that great-smelling puppy breath.
05:12But soon, I started to notice something.
05:15Aw, isn't that the cutest thing?
05:19Have you ever seen anything so cuddly?
05:26Martha!
05:27Careful!
05:30I wasn't the favorite anymore.
05:32I'd gone from being top dog to being...
05:34Chopped liver?
05:36Chopped liver?
05:37Where?
05:38It's an expression.
05:39When you say you're chopped liver,
05:41it means people treat you like you're nothing special.
05:44Oh, I wish it meant there was chopped liver.
05:47Where was I?
05:48You weren't top dog anymore.
05:50That's right!
05:51I wasn't top dog anymore.
05:54Skits was everybody's favorite now.
05:57Who's a happy doggie?
05:59Me!
06:04And boy, was I touchy about it.
06:10Oh, you're such a tough boy.
06:13No one seemed to notice me anymore.
06:16I'd been replaced.
06:29You know what I mean?
06:30Of course.
06:31Replaced means something or someone
06:33takes the place of something else.
06:35Exactly!
06:36Skits had definitely taken the place of me.
06:39It was awful.
06:41I felt like I was constantly excluded from things.
06:44Where is that squeaky?
06:46Give me that squeaky.
06:50Right there, squeaky!
07:00Everything Skits did was so special.
07:02And everything I did was so boring.
07:13Mom!
07:18Dad!
07:19Come quick!
07:22He got stuck in the bars?
07:24What a doofus.
07:28Poor little Skits.
07:30And then it hit me.
07:32If Helen preferred puppies to dogs,
07:34I'd be a puppy too!
07:38Martha!
07:44Where is my shoe?
07:46Martha!
07:48Come on, you guys!
07:49Time for a...
07:51Martha!
07:53Only...
07:54That plan didn't go over so well.
07:56What has gotten into you?
07:58Hmm?
07:59Skits chew stuff and has accidents and you don't yell at him.
08:02He can't help it.
08:03He's a puppy.
08:04I'm a puppy.
08:06I'm a puppy too!
08:07No, you're not.
08:08You're a grown dog and you know better.
08:10Well, I...
08:12Still, it's Skits' fault.
08:14How is it Skits' fault?
08:16Ever since he came here, you don't notice me anymore.
08:19Uh...
08:20I do so.
08:22No, you don't.
08:23When you notice something, it means you see it or you pay attention to it.
08:27The only thing you notice is Skits.
08:29Oh, Skits.
08:30You're so cute.
08:32You're so cuddly.
08:34You just ignore me.
08:35If a dog wants any attention around here, they have to...
08:39To do that!
08:41Martha!
08:42Don't you like Skits?
08:44I thought you wanted to keep him too.
08:45That was before I knew you were gonna like him better than me.
08:50Martha!
08:54She was so touchy.
08:55I've never seen Martha act like that.
08:57She acts like she's being replaced or something.
09:00I'm not replacing her.
09:01I just love them both.
09:03Hmm.
09:04Sounds like Martha esta celosa.
09:05She's a little jealous.
09:07Why?
09:08She probably feels like she's being snubbed.
09:11Snubbed?
09:12What do you mean?
09:13If you snub someone, you leave them out of things or no les prestas atencion.
09:18You just don't pay attention to them.
09:20But I don't snub Martha.
09:21I include her in everything I do with Skits.
09:24Maybe that's the problem.
09:26She's used to having you all to herself.
09:28And you do pay an awful lot of attention to Skits.
09:31He's a puppy.
09:32Puppies need attention.
09:34And they're cute and cuddly and...
09:37Yeah, I guess I do fuss over him a lot.
09:40What if I spend some time with just Martha?
09:45You think that would make her feel special again?
09:47It couldn't hurt.
09:51Here, Martha! Fetch!
09:53Whoa!
09:55It was just like the old days.
09:57Here we go round the mulberry bush, the mulberry tea...
09:59I had Helen all to myself.
10:03I was special again.
10:06But when we got back home...
10:08Last one to the door is a rotten egg!
10:11Ha-ha!
10:12Beat ya!
10:14Skits was still there.
10:16Hey there, Skits!
10:18And I was still jealous.
10:19Hey, Martha!
10:21I think he missed you.
10:23Martha?
10:25Soon, I started to take it out on Skits.
10:30Knock it off, will ya?
10:32Get your own chair.
10:47I snubbed him all the time.
10:50All I could think of was how excluded I felt.
10:54For the last time, go and be cute and cuddly somewhere else!
10:57I didn't notice what I was doing to him.
11:04Come on, Skits!
11:05Eat something, please!
11:09Mom, I think Skits is sick.
11:11Is he still not eating?
11:13Mm-mm.
11:14We'll take him to the vet first thing tomorrow.
11:16Vet?
11:17Hey, kid!
11:18You gotta snap out of it, you hear?
11:19If you don't, they're gonna take you to the vet!
11:22What do you mean, so what?
11:25She'll give you a shot?
11:26That's what!
11:29Hey, what's the matter, little fella?
11:34Do I want you to go away?
11:36Why do you think that?
11:40Because I don't play with you anymore?
11:45You are so touchy!
11:49Skits!
11:51I like you!
11:52Oh, oh, oh!
11:53No, no, no, no!
11:54Really, I do!
11:55I was just a little jealous of you.
11:57But I won't be anymore.
11:59I promise!
12:01Aw, shucks.
12:02How can I not like you?
12:04You're so cute!
12:06You're my favorite puppy ever!
12:07I'm glad we made up, too.
12:08But I can't wait till you lose the milk teeth.
12:10So you see, Helen wasn't excluding me.
12:23Puppies and babies need a lot of attention.
12:26And I was being touchy.
12:27I'm sure to hear Mom, you're still top dog.
12:31I doubt it.
12:33There you are!
12:34I've been looking all over for you.
12:36Now.
12:37All those babies are gone, and I can't wait to hear what my baby did today.
12:41Oh, Mama!
12:48Told ya!
12:52Hello!
12:53Today we're going to talk about the words include and exclude.
12:58When you include someone or something, you make them part of what you're doing.
13:03When you exclude them, you leave them out.
13:05At a party, you include your friends.
13:14And exclude party poopers.
13:20Most restaurants exclude dogs.
13:25Most garbage cans don't.
13:28But if you include garbage can food in your diet, you may be excluded from the house.
13:35And there's something that you're going to do.
13:36You've got to go.
13:37And you're going to go.
13:38To make a video.
13:40By that, it doesn't mean that we should be at home.
13:42All right.
13:43Oi, hi.
13:44Hi.
13:45Ah, hi.
13:46Hi!
13:48Ah!
13:49Oh yeah!
13:50Okay, you got me!
13:52Martha!
13:53Skid!
13:54Come on!
13:55Alice and Truman are here!
13:57Blake!
13:59Blake!
14:00Blake!
14:02Wow!
14:03That's awesome!
14:04Whoa! Skits!
14:06Alice, are you okay?
14:11It's not getting knocked over, I mind.
14:13It's the licking.
14:15Uh-oh.
14:16Uh-oh what?
14:17T.D.'s cousin's coming along to the lake.
14:20He's only four.
14:22I'm wondering if...
14:23A little help? Anybody?
14:26Hmm...
14:28Uh...
14:30Sorry, Skits.
14:33You have to stay here just for today.
14:35I'll make a special trip with you tomorrow.
14:43So you guys are really okay with me bringing my cousin?
14:47Sure.
14:48Uh-huh.
14:49It's okay, T.D., really.
14:50Besides, Martha's excited to meet him.
14:52She likes little kids.
14:54Wanna see a trip?
14:55Scratch me right there.
14:57Martha, you wanna meet T.D.'s cousin?
15:02Yeah!
15:03See you later!
15:04Okay, T.D., we're going to the lake now.
15:08Yeah!
15:09Hooray!
15:10Lake, lake, lake!
15:14Hi there!
15:20T.D., what's wrong?
15:22I want to stay here.
15:23Huh?
15:24But you've been talking about the lake all morning.
15:27Uh-uh.
15:30Gee, he's never done that before.
15:32Maybe he's just shy.
15:34We are a lot older than him.
15:36Mmm, nah.
15:37He's not shy.
15:38It's me.
15:39He's scared of me.
15:40How could anyone be scared of you?
15:42Some kids are scared of dogs.
15:44I try to tell them that I'm tame and friendly, but...
15:47Hmm.
15:48It could be something else, though.
15:49Like what?
15:50Maybe he thought Martha was a bear.
15:52A bear?
15:54Sure.
15:55A small, spotted, long-tailed bear.
15:57Huh.
15:58I don't think so.
15:59I have an idea!
16:00Watch!
16:01Goodbye, guys!
16:03I'm going home now.
16:06Have fun at the lake without me!
16:09Wake, wake, wake, wake!
16:22OK, then.
16:23Let's go, I guess.
16:26Looks like you were right.
16:27Maybe if I just talk to CD.
16:28Go ahead.
16:29I'll meet you there.
16:30What's wrong, C.D.?
16:40Okay, C.D., I know dogs can be a little scary, but maybe if we just talk, we can...
16:49No!
16:50I'm not aggressive.
16:52Aggressive?
16:53Aggressive means you're angry or you want to fight.
16:56I'm not angry.
16:58I don't want to fight or bite.
16:59I'm tame.
17:01Martha's not aggressive at all, C.D.
17:03She's really gentle.
17:05Promise?
17:06Of course I promise.
17:08I'm not aggressive.
17:10Doggy! Doggy! Doggy!
17:13I love doggy!
17:16Doggy! Doggy! Doggy! Doggy! Doggy!
17:23Boy, that kid's out of control.
17:27Doggy hates me.
17:29Oh, yeah. Over there. Oh, thank you.
17:35Well, at least we know he's not shy.
17:38No, he's not shy at all.
17:41He's a doggy lover.
17:42Well, that's a good thing, right? A dog lover?
17:45I didn't say dog lover.
17:47I said doggy lover.
17:48I said doggy lover.
17:49What's the diff?
17:51A dog lover is someone who likes dogs.
17:53A doggy lover is a completely different thing.
17:57Doggy! Doggy! Doggy!
18:01Doggy!
18:03Doggy!
18:06Doggy?
18:06Oh, I see. You mean they're out of control.
18:13Right.
18:14And I can guess why CD got scared of dogs.
18:17So what do dogs do about a doggy lover?
18:31Wait for him to grow up.
18:35Hello?
18:37Hey.
18:37CD is really sad about what happened.
18:39He's been in his room crying ever since he came home.
18:43Maybe Martha could come over and...
18:45I'm not so sure that's a good idea.
18:48It's okay.
18:48What?
18:49I don't want to wait for him to grow up.
18:51I want to solve this problem now.
18:53And I think I know how.
19:00Hello?
19:01Huh?
19:01Doggy! Doggy! Doggy!
19:03Are you sure about this, Martha?
19:11Well, if people can give a dog obedience training,
19:15I don't see why a dog can't tame a person.
19:18Okay, CD.
19:20Okay, boy.
19:21Want to go outside?
19:23Uh-huh.
19:24Doggy!
19:25Doggy! Doggy! Doggy! Doggy! Doggy!
19:27Doggy!
19:28Come on, boy.
19:29That's it.
19:30Okay.
19:31Right there is fine.
19:33Now, first lesson, petting a dog.
19:36Helen will demonstrate.
19:39Nice doggy.
19:41Nice doggy.
19:43Oh, notice how gentle she is?
19:46Ah, that feels good.
19:48I really like you, Helen.
19:50Now it's your turn, CD.
19:52Doggy! Doggy! Doggy!
19:53Not so fast.
19:57We dogs may look big and strong,
20:00but we can be as delicate as...
20:02that juicy and ripe tomato.
20:05Delicate?
20:07Delicate means something is very easy to hurt or break.
20:10And being delicate with something means you treat it gently,
20:14so you don't hurt it.
20:15For example,
20:16that tomato is delicate,
20:18so you need to be careful with it or else...
20:20or else...
20:20Eww.
20:23Yum!
20:25Now, pet the tomato.
20:29It's all right.
20:30We can try again.
20:33Gently, gently.
20:38Very good, CD.
20:39You're being very gentle.
20:42Now, come and pet me just as gently as the...
20:44Doggy! Doggy! Doggy!
20:46Choking!
20:47Choking!
20:48Choking!
20:48Choking!
20:49Okay.
20:51Maybe we should start at the very beginning.
20:53Thanks, Helen.
20:55Lesson number one.
20:57Approaching a strange dog.
20:59Helen will demonstrate.
21:00Oh, hi there, dog I've never met before.
21:05Hmm.
21:07See?
21:08She's not grabbing me or trying to hug me.
21:11She's being careful and letting me smell her first,
21:14so I know she's okay.
21:17See?
21:18If you aren't careful and don't let a dog smell you first,
21:21it can aggravate them.
21:24Aggravate?
21:25Aggravate means you make someone angry or mad.
21:28Like this.
21:29You know, like you annoy or irritate them.
21:32And when a dog gets aggravated, what do they do?
21:36Fight?
21:37That's right.
21:38So never aggravate a dog.
21:41Oh, you're okay.
21:43I like you.
21:45Please pet me.
21:47So you got that, CD?
21:48Yeah.
21:49Sniff first.
21:51That's right.
21:52Now here you go.
21:56Nice and careful.
21:57Oh, you're okay, CD.
22:01I like you.
22:02Please pet me.
22:04Gently.
22:05Doggy, doggy, doggy!
22:06Choking, choking, choking.
22:09It's not working.
22:11I'm afraid there's only one thing to do.
22:14What?
22:15We need to treat CD like a cat.
22:19You don't mean...
22:20That's right.
22:21Time for...
22:23The squirt bottle.
22:26Okay, CD.
22:27Here's the deal.
22:29When you pet me gently, you get a reward.
22:33Hop.
22:34When you hug me too hard, you get...
22:37This.
22:39Got it?
22:40Mm-hmm.
22:40All right.
22:42You can release him.
22:43Doggy, doggy, doggy!
22:45Ah!
22:49Correct!
22:50Now, are you gonna pet me or hug me?

23:11It's hopeless.
23:12That kid is out of control.
23:14Out of control?
23:16Oh, I don't know about that.
23:18Someone who is out of control is wild and won't calm down.
23:22CD is just...
23:24Well, okay, you're right.
23:26He is out of control.
23:28But he doesn't mean to be.
23:29Well, you tried.
23:31I'm not giving up.
23:33I'm gonna tame that out of control kid.
23:36Just you watch.
23:38Doggy, doggy, doggy!
23:40I love doggy!
23:41All right.
23:43I'm going in there.
23:44And before this day is done, that boy will be tame.
23:48Now, I want you to promise that no matter how much I may scream or yell for help,
23:53you do not open that door.
23:56Okay.
23:57I promise.
23:59All righty.
24:00Open her up.
24:01Okay, CD.
24:09Let's continue with our lessons.
24:12Are you ready?
24:14Uh-oh.
24:15He must be preparing for a sneak attack.
24:18CD?
24:18CD?
24:20Doggy!
24:21Doggy!
24:21Doggy!
24:22Oh, no.
24:23Skets!
24:24Don't smooch him!
24:26Oh, CD.
24:27Don't smooch him!
24:28Ah!
24:28Brok!
24:29Brok!
24:29Brok!
24:30Brok!
24:31Brok!
24:31Brok!
24:31Brok!
24:32Brok!
24:32Brok!
24:32Brok!
24:33Brok!
24:33Well, what do you know?
24:38I think we just found out what to do with a doggy lover.
24:44Find a doggy who can take it.
24:50Hey, check out this song!
24:54Hey, check out this song!
25:24Be aggravated when you feel a little mad.
25:30Can't pretend, breathe again, and you'll see it's not so bad.
25:36Did you catch all of today's words? Let's see some again.
25:39When you include someone or something, you make them part of what you're doing.
25:43When you exclude them, you leave them out.
25:46Replace means something or someone takes the place of something else.
25:50Aggressive means you're angry or you want to fight.
25:53Aggravate means you make someone angry or mad.
25:56Delicate means something is very easy to hurt or break.
25:59And being delicate with something means you treat it gently.
26:03Bye!
26:05Who's that dog? Who's that dog?
26:12That dog is Bert.
26:14We're at Children's Hospital Boston.
26:16He's not a doctor.
26:18Bert is a volunteer with the volunteer services department, the conference program.
26:23My name is Bert. I love to walk on the beach and go swimming.
26:32Bert is in the hospital because he's a friend.
26:36I think that it makes them feel for a little bit like they're not in the hospital and they can take their mind off things.
26:41Bye Bert.
26:43He enjoys coming to see the kids because he gets to be pet by a lot of children.
26:49That's his body legs. Look at his leg.
26:51Bye Bert!
26:53Bert!
26:55I also enjoy treats.
27:00He gets to have a little doggy treats when we get back to the office.
27:03He's a doggy doggy doggy dog.
27:33He's a doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy
