Entry 4 - What can have a family?

Elmo's World is much farther into the episode, after an episode of fairy school. Elmo talks all about families, who is in them, and what they do. Elmo has one part of Elmo's World where he asks, "How many clowns can fit into the family car?" Nine animated clowns (and the family hippo) all fit in there. I found it interesting that they divert from the number seven this time, however, it has been far in the episode since they talked about seven, so that may be why.

Elmo then goes into the drawer to seen what else can have families. The first example, a birthday cake and cupcakes, is placed on a simple table top. When the kids in the studio respond that a cake can't have a family, then a family appears and Elmo says that a family can have a birthday cake instead. The family is grouped together, and the background is a nice purple contrast to the green table (with pictures of a family on both). Another similar example of soccer balls is given, and then Super Grover and his Super Mommy are shown. The families stay chunked together, both the objects' "families" and the real families.

Blow out the candles!
