You wanna hear a joke?
Sure.
Knock knock.
Who's there?
Amos.
Amos who?
A mosquito just bit me!
Ha ha ha ha!
Heh heh heh.
[Groaning]
Usually everyone laughs when
I tell them that one.
The joke's funny but this
toothache isn't.
Toothache?
I'll tell my mom as soon as I
get home.
You're gonna tell your mom?
Sure, why not?
Because she'll make you go to
the dentist.
So?
I've been to the dentist lots of
times.
It's no big deal.
It is a big deal if you've
got a toothache.
What do you mean?
Last year I had a little
toothache and I ended up getting
See?
[Lisa gasping]
And he froze my mouth with a
needle this long.
[Gulping]
And my cousin went to the
dentist with a toothache and the
dentist pulled his tooth right
out.
I thought the dentist would
just make it feel better.
Make what feel better?
My-- oh, nothing.

[Neighing]
Giddy up!
[Laughing]
Corduroy, what are you doing?
I'm riding on Buckaroo!
How many times have I told
you not to rock so fast?
I've tried telling him.
You're going to have to be
more careful or else you're
going to-- ow-- hurt yourself.
What's wrong?
I have a toothache.
Can't you get it fixed.
I think I'll wait for it to
get better on its own.
Oh, I left some books in the
living room.
Be right back, Cordy.
Mom's taking us to the library.
[Whistling]
Okay, giddy up, Buckaroo!
But Lisa said--
Oh, all right.
Faster!
You can do it.
[Neighing]
Whoa!
Ow!
Are you all right?
I think I scratched my elbow.
You aren't gonna tell Lisa are
you?
♪
My goodness, you certainly
borrowed a lot of books this
time.
Six for me and six for Cordy.
Phew, it certainly is warm
out.
Perhaps we could stop for a
little treat somewhere.
I'm thinking something cold.
♪
Mm, that's delicious and cold.
[Groaning]
How's your ice cream, Lisa?
Um--
I can't finish this.
Pass up ice cream?
Is everything okay?
I guess I'm just not very
hungry.
Well, this is a first.
[Lisa sighing]
♪
[Lisa groaning]
It's just a toothache.
It's just a toothache.
Oh, hm, I see.
I was right to tell you about
my toothache wasn't I?
Oh yes, nothing to worry
about.
Now then, all ready for your
needle?
N-n-needle?
[Screaming]
What's the matter?
Oh, I guess I just had a bad
dream.
Sorry to wake you, Cordy.
Go back to sleep.
Okay.
Ouch!
[Groaning]
♪
[Mom humming]
MOM: Lisa?
[Lisa sighing]
Lisa, you look a little tired,
hon.
I didn't sleep very well last
night.
Maybe this bowl of hot
oatmeal will wake you up.
Oh, ow!
What's wrong?
[Groaning]
My tooth!
Let's wait until your oatmeal
is cool enough to eat, okay?
Lisa?
Cordy, what happened?
I hurt it yesterday when I
fell off Buckaroo.
I was riding him to fast.
You should have told me right
away.
Come on, I'll fix it up for you.
There.
How does that feel?
Much better.
Ow!
Sorry, I must have squeezed
too hard.
It's not your fault.
It's my tooth.
Didn't it get better on its
own?
I was hoping it would but
it's getting worse.
It hurts when I eat something
hot and it hurts when I eat
something cold.
It hurts when I laugh and it
hurts when I sleep.
And now it even hurts when you
hug me.
What are you gonna do?
Something I should have done
a long time ago.
Why didn't you tell me
sooner?
I would have but I was afraid
of the giant needle.
The giant needle?
It's this long!
Mm, and where did you hear
about this?
Moppy.
I'm pretty sure Moppy's
exaggerating.
Why would he do that?
I know he didn't mean any
harm.
Sometimes when you're worried
about something your mind
exaggerates things like the size
of a needle.
You mean it's not this big?
More like this small.
The needle is just meant to keep
you from being uncomfortable.
You can hardly feel it.
And I'm not going to get my
teeth pulled out either?
Your teeth pulled out?
Goodness, no.
Who ever told you--
Let me guess.
[Laughing]
BOTH: Moppy.
[Laughing]
Ow!

Hello, Lisa.
Now, what seems to be the
problem?
I have a toothache.
Well, let's have a look shall
we?
But first--
Maybe having your bear near by
will make you feel more
comfortable.
Thanks.
[Laughing]
There's no need to be
nervous.
I'm just going to take a picture
of your teeth.
I like getting my picture
taken.
CORDUROY, THINKING: Me too.
Not like that, Cordy.
[Laughing]
Like this!
Aaahhh.
That looks like mom's best
silverware.
Or the fancy stuff you find
in a restaurant.
Now, if you could open wide--
LISA: It looks delicious.
And for you, sir.
Enjoy.
Mm!
[Slurping]
[Laughing]
There.
We're all finished.
We are?
But it didn't even hurt!
Hey, my toothache's gone!
And my teeth: they're all here!
[Laughing]
It's a long story.
♪
I sure am glad I told you
about my toothache.
Getting help when you need it
is a very grownup thing to do.
Did you hear that Cordy?
You did a grownup thing too.
[Laughing]
So now that my toothache's all
gone can we go for some
ice-cream?
Oh, Lisa.
♪
[Mom humming]
Oh, thank you, Lisa.
I'll take those.
Everything looks great.
This is going to be a great
surprise party.
Well, I hope so.
I think I've blown up every
balloon in the city.
Phew.
[Mom laughing]
Not every one, dear.
[Groaning]
[Mom and Lisa laughing]
I'll bet that Moppy's still
hanging around outside the
building when he knows full well
it's almost time for his
haircut.
MOPPY: Yay, yahoo, whoa,
wahoo!
Uh, pardon me, but just who
do you think you are down there?
Tarzan?
Nah, not Tarzan, Mom.
I'm an astronaut.
Well then can you rocket over
to the barbershop before this
afternoon for a haircut?
You're long overdue.
But mom, I like my hair just
fine.
Why do I have to change it?
Sometimes change is a good
thing, especially when it helps
you see better.
I can see.
Mr. Barberoli will be ready
for you at 4 o'clock sharp so no
dilly dallying.
Oh, all right, I'll go!
Oh, and don't forget to put
your helmet on if you're gonna
take your bike.
Got it, Mom.
[Struggling]
Oh well, guess I'll have to
walk.
What's the hurry?
Don't need a haircut anyway.
Corduroy?
Cordy, where are you?
Here I am!
I have a surprise for you.
What is it?
Is it a present?
Mm hm.
Pick a hand.
Hm.
You're right!
Ta da!
Ooh, it's soft.
What is it?
It's a new blanket.
A new blanket?
But I already have a blanket.
But this new blanket is--

MOPPY'S MOM: Lisa, where are
you?

Lisa, could you please do me a
favour?
I need you to keep Moppy busy
and away from here.
And could you please make sure
he makes it to the barbershop?
Sure thing.
Oh, and then make sure he
comes home right after for his
you know what.
[Laughing]
Don't worry, I'll stick to
him like glue.
Be back soon, Cordy.
Why don't you give your new
blanket a try?
But my old one is my
favourite.
I don't need to change.
I'm keeping it.
♪
Oh, fresh sponge toffee
today.
Come on Lise, let's buy some
treats.
[Dog barking]
Hey, little guy.
You're pretty silly looking with
all that fur.
Now he needs a haircut, Lisa,
not me.
Well, would you look at that.
You two look like twin mop tops.
Time to get a haircut, huh
fellas?
Hmph.
[Laughing]
Come on, you won't feel a
thing.
I promise.
Look out below!
Twigs are fallin'!
See Lisa, that tree needs a
clippin', not me.
Oh, I think you could use a
few clips.
Ugh, I can't believe this.
Climb on up and I'll give you
a trim.
Everyone's against me!
No one's against you, Moppy.
We just don't understand why you
don't want to get your hair cut.
I guess I'm afraid I won't be
me anymore.
If my hair isn't as long no one
will call me Moppy.
They might not even recognize
me.
Of course we will.
We'll just be able to see more
of your face.
Okay, here we are.
And in you go!
Ah, yeah, you are gonna look
like a whole-a new-a woman when
we finish.
Bella!
Bella!
I'm outta here!
I don't wanna be a whole-a new-a
person!
Wait up, Moppy!
Oh, what's this?
So soft!
That's my new blanket.
Why the long face?
Because I like my old
blanket.
I've had it ever since Lisa
brought me home.
[Laughing]
This must be what home is like.
I've always wanted a home.
And this is your very own
blanket.
Nighty night, Corduroy.
This blanket helped me feel
safe when I felt scared.
[Thunder crashing]
Lisa, the storm is spooky!
I can't sleep with all the
flashes.
That's the lightning.
Here you go, Corduroy.
Try this.
It always helped keep me safe
and warm when it was stormy
outside.
I could play with this
blanket.
And sometimes it would take me
for magic carpet rides.
Oooh!
Weee!
[Dove cooing]
This blanket isn't new anymore
but it's perfect for a bear like
me.
But a new blue blanket will
look so nice on your bed.
[Gasping]
Then what will happen to my
old blanket?
Why would Lisa want to throw
away something I love?
Wave goodbye to your blanket
forever.
You have a brand new blanket
now.
No, not my blanket!
Lisa, no!
I have to find a place to hide
it.
Under here?
Nope, Lisa would find it
here.
I know!
There's a good spot in here!
[Mom humming]
[Gasping]
[Mom humming]
This spot isn't gonna work
either.
That's okay.
I know a place where no one will
ever look.
Moppy!
Moppy, wait up!
Moppy, is that you already?
Let's get a good look at that
new do.
I've gotta get out of here!
MOPPY'S MOM: Yoo hoo, Lisa!
Oh!
Pandro, I spilled some pop in
the hallway.
Can I use one of your mops to
clean it up?
Sure, Lisa.
I've got one in the tool shed.
Follow me.
I think I'll need a really
shaggy one.
I spilled a lot of pop.
How about that red one, Pandro.
It'll do perfectly.
Ow, I'm not a mop!
Agh!
Moppy!
[Laughing]
Sorry about tugging your hair
like that.
You sure had me fooled with that
do of yours.
Now do you believe me?
That's it!
Gotta go; I'm gonna be late.
For what?
My haircut.
[Laughing]
[Lisa gasping]
It's Corduroy's old blanket.
Now how did that get here?
Corduroy, can I talk to you?
I found this in the shed
downstairs.
Did you put it in there?
I didn't want you to throw my
blanket away.
Corduroy, I wasn't going to
throw your blanket away.
But you bought me a new one?
Your old one has lots of
holes and it's almost worn right
through.
I thought a new one might keep
you warmer on cold winter
nights.
So I can keep them both?
Sure you can.
And since I know how important
your blanket is to you I have a
special place for us to put it.
This is where I keep all my old
favourite things.
This must be a treasure
chest.
I've always wanted a treasure
chest.
You can put your blanket in
here and come visit it whenever
you want.
Thanks, Lisa.

Lookin' good, buddy.
[Humming]
Wow, you look great.
And you still look like Moppy.
Hey, let's go show your parents.
ALL: Surprise!
Happy Birthday Moppy!
Wow, thanks!
I'm a whole year older now Lisa.
Don't I look it?
Yep!
You see, change isn't so bad.
Not so bad at all.
