A puppet mouse in doctor's attire appears with the caption "Doctor Cheddar."

A male announcer says YOU'LL FEEL BETTER
WITH DR. CHEDDAR.

(CHILDREN CHEERING)

(HUMMING)

He steps into the room wearing a blue mask and says HELLO AGAIN!
DR. CHEDDAR HERE
TO HELP YOU FEEL BETTER.
HMM, I HAD TO POP OUT TO
GRAB SOME GROCERIES,
AND I JUST GOT BACK.

Annie, a girl sitting inside a blanket fort in her house says YOU WEARING A MASK
TO BE EXTRA CAREFUL ABOUT
NOT SPREADING GERMS.
(GASPING)
I WANNA WEAR A MASK TOO!

(CLAPPING)

Dr. Cheddar says WELL, ANNIE, IT'S UP TO YOUR
PARENTS OR CAREGIVERS TO DECIDE
IF A MASK IS RIGHT FOR YOU.

Annie says MY MOMMY AND MY DADDY
AND MY AUNTY ALL SAID
I SHOULD WEAR A MASK WHEN I GO
WHERE THERE'S LOTS OF PEOPLE.
I WANT TO WEAR A MASK.

Dr. Cheddar says OKAY, ANNIE, BUT YOU HAVE TO
FOLLOW SOME SIMPLE RULES.

Annie says LIKE WHAT?

Dr. Cheddar says WELL, A MASK
SHOULDN'T BE TOO BIG.

Wearing a huge mask that covers her entire face, Annie says OH!
HEY, WHO TURNED OUT THE LIGHTS?

(BUZZER)
(SIGHING)

Dr. Cheddar says OR TOO TINY.

Wearing a tiny mask that only covers her nose, Annie says OOH, TOO SMALL!
OOH.

(BUZZER)
(SNIFFING)

Dr. Cheddar says A MASK SHOULD COVER
YOUR MOUTH, CHIN, AND NOSE,
AND STILL BE COMFORTABLE
TO BREATHE THROUGH.

Wearing an appropriately sized mask, Annie says TA-DAH!

(DINGING)

Dr. Cheddar says EXACTLY!
I KEEP A CLEAN MASK
IN MY BACK POCKET
SO IF I HAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE
WHERE THERE WILL BE
LARGE GROUPS OF PEOPLE
CLOSE TOGETHER,
LIKE AT THE GROCERY STORE,
I CAN PUT IT ON.

As she holds up a stuffed rabbit wearing a mask, Annie says
DA-DA-DA-DAAA!
DA-DA-DA-DAAA!

Dr. Cheddar says GOOD JOB, ANNIE!
AND REMEMBER TO ASK YOUR PARENTS
OR CAREGIVERS FOR HELP
TAKING YOUR MASK ON AND OFF.

Annie says AND DON'T TOUCH YOUR MASK.
IT CAN GET DIRTY, HMM!

Dr. Cheddar says UNTIL NEXT TIME,
THIS IS DR. CHEDDAR
HOPING YOU FEEL BETTER
ABOUT WEARING YOUR MASK
WHEN YOU CAN'T PRACTICE
PHYSICAL DISTANCING.
WE'LL SEE YOU SOON,
RIGHT HERE ON TVO KIDS!
(LAUGHING)
GOODBYE!
