Re-run: The Pixie Pandemic with Audio Postcard responses!

Full Episode description

As many people are getting ready for back to school, we know that school might look very different than we’re used to. Maybe you’ll be in a smaller classroom, or maybe you’ll be doing online school again. We’re bringing back our Pixie Pandemic episode right before our next season starts.

Plus, this episode has special shoutouts to some of our amazing listeners who called our audio postcard hotline. If you have a question about the show, you can ask your grown up about calling 206.4.FUN.LAVA and leave us an audio postcard.

It’s pixie season in the Neighborhood. Everybody has to stay inside – even Macho Supreme. Macho was really looking forward to the Glamour Flex contest, and now he can’t go! Scotty and Macho discuss feeling frustrated, why we sometimes need to stay in to help everybody out, and tons of stuff you can do while you’re stuck inside.

In this week’s episode, Scotty and Macho discuss how it feels to be frustrated, and why it’s disappointing when you can’t do the things you were looking forward to. Feeling disappointed can feel like a real loss, so it’s important to acknowledge those feelings before jumping in with alternative things to do.

If you’re stuck at home, have you tried making new friends… from scratch? You and your child can try building your own Cardboard Scotty, or other friends, family, or imaginary characters. You can draw signs or pictures to put up around your house or your neighborhood (which you can share with us on the Imagine Neighborhood website!) And you can discuss how it feels to be frustrated or disappointed when you don’t get to do something you were looking forward to.

This week’s music is Cornerstone by Benjamin Clementine.
