00:00What did you do?
00:03Don't worry, Bob. This paint is specially formulated for tile.
00:07Actually, now I'm more worried. Why did you paint the tile green?
00:12Well, two reasons. Reason number one, green is my favorite color.
00:17Reason number two, the tile is always greener on the other side of the fence.
00:22That's grass.
00:24Work with me, Bob. Grass don't grow in the kitchen.
00:26Grass doesn't grow in the kitchen.
00:28Yep, and that's why I used paint.
00:30Paint? Grass? Astro-turf? I'm confused.
00:34Well, I was just talking with Madison before the show.
00:37Madison?
00:38Yeah, over here.
00:40Madison Scott from Ogallala, Nebraska.
00:46Dear Bob and Larry, my friend Taylor has everything. It isn't fair. Why can't I have what she has? Your friend Madison.
00:55That's a good question.
00:57It sure is. We have a...
00:59Okay, Madison. Imagine you're Bob, and I'm your friend Taylor.
01:03You're over there on the yellow tile, but you're thinking, wow, that green tile is awesome.
01:08I want to go over there like Larry, who's really Taylor, but you can't because there's a fence, but no gate.
01:13And because your mom bought you new white pants and you might mess them up.
01:16You see the problem, Madison?
01:18What?
01:19Shh. I'm using an anomaly. She'll figure it out.
01:22You mean analogy, and nobody's going to figure that out.
01:26Really?
01:27When you say the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, you're saying you'd rather have something different from what you already have.
01:35That's what I said.
01:37I'll tell you what. I have the perfect story for Madison that might just answer her question.
01:42While she watches, I'll help you mop up the countertop before the paint dries.
01:48And roll film.
01:57My dinner's one huge chocolate bar
02:01Diamonds and jet planes
02:03I'm a star, yeah
02:05I'm living the sweet life
02:07But that's not everything
02:10No, no
02:12From Tulsa to Toledo
02:15I'm a five-star hero
02:17I can get whatever I ask for
02:20But it never brings me what I really want
02:24That's not everything
02:27Hoobie Scoobie, that girl can sang-ang
02:32And if you want to meet her, now is your chance to win
02:36What?
02:37Be the 99th caller and sing me one of Vanna's songs to win a ticket and backstage pass for this weekend's concert
02:46Mom!
02:48You took the head off my pony doll.
02:51He wouldn't fit in my lunchbox.
02:52Out of the way!
02:57Pepper!
02:58Incoming!
03:06Oh, there you are, Princess.
03:08Can't talk. I gotta win a ticket.
03:14Wow, Bubba D, you're our 99th caller. What's your name?
03:18What? Me?
03:20I'm Princess. Princess Poppyseed.
03:23Alright, Popsie. Sing me one of Vanna Banana's songs to win!
03:34Move my feet to the beat down in my soul
03:38Singing for the people, that's how I roll
03:42Who would guess that a regular girl
03:46Could get to sing for the whole wide world
03:49Who turned on the radio?
03:50That's Princess!
03:52Really?
03:53Vanna Banana shouts the crowd, I'm a radio sweetheart
03:57A radio sweetheart
04:01Oh no! Oh no!
04:06Seem to have a bad connection.
04:08Oh, pretty doggie! Oh well, I'm the caller 100!
04:15How could you?
04:17I'm so sorry, Princess.
04:19That ticket was important to me!
04:21It was an accident.
04:23I was going to meet Vanna Banana!
04:33Princess, he was only dancing to your song. He tripped.
04:36I just really wanted to win.
04:40I need to go to the park to sell some pies. Why don't you come?
04:45Okay.
04:46Princess, invite Pepper.
04:49What?
04:50Can't you see how bad he feels?
04:53But...
04:54Invite Pepper.
05:01Pepper, you want to come to the park?
05:04Yay!
05:07Medic!
05:14I could stand and face this crowd alone
05:26But to me they only sound like thunder
05:33Look at me
05:36There are millions here who cheer
05:40But I don't really know one single other
05:46The world knows my name
05:49So why do I feel unknown?
05:53With all of these crowds
05:56I should not be alone
06:01Is there something somewhere
06:04A special someplace out there
06:11Where I'm not on my own
06:17On my own
06:28Stay nearby, Princess.
06:30I just need to sell a few more pies, then it's back home.
06:33Okay.
06:38Hi, want a seesaw?
06:40You want to play with me?
06:42Sure, why not? We're about the same size.
06:44Perfect for seesawing.
06:46Whoa!
06:47So you don't have any kids to play with either?
06:50Are you kidding? I've got way too many kids to play with.
06:55Too many?
06:57Vanna! Vanna! Steve! Rusty!
07:00What can we do for you, Mrs. Banana?
07:02Vanna is missing and it's time to shoot her music video.
07:05We are so on it.
07:07Yeah, on it.
07:11And then my brother danced on the phone cord and accidentally hung up.
07:16No way. It wasn't funny at the time.
07:20There he is over there.
07:27It sounds like you have such a fun life.
07:29Are you kidding? Living on a farm, kids everywhere?
07:33Everywhere?
07:34Always out in the sun, smelling like horses?
07:37Horses.
07:39I'm telling you, it's not so great when you're never alone.
07:42Oh, never alone.
07:45Wow, that sounds like the exact opposite of my life.
07:49Opposite?
07:51I'm lonely a lot because there are never any kids around.
07:54You should come to my house sometime.
07:57I'd love to.
07:59Really?
08:00But I never get to stop working long enough to do anything fun.
08:04Work? But you're a kid.
08:09Who exactly are you?
08:12What would you say if I could get you a backstage pass to that concert?
08:19Oh there's there. That's the unmistakable sound of a Vanna Banana fan.
08:24You're V-V-V-V-V-Vanna...
08:26Shh.
08:27V-V-V-V-V-V...
08:29Shh. I don't want anybody else to know.
08:32So do you want to come hang out with me backstage?
08:35Of course. But I don't have anything to wear.
08:39I can't go dressed like this.
08:41Oh, don't worry about that. I have time.
08:44I can't go dressed like this.
08:46Oh, don't worry about that.
08:47I have tons of extra clothes.
08:50Yay!
08:51I'm wearing Thana Banana's jacket.
08:56It smells famous.
09:00We look exactly the same.
09:02Exactly is a strong word.
09:05But I wonder.
09:14Wow.
09:16It's like looking into a mirror.
09:18We are looking into a mirror.
09:20Hey, kids, have you seen Thana Banana around here?
09:24They're here to take me back.
09:25I don't want to go back.
09:26What?
09:27But you've got the best life in the world.
09:29I'd do anything to be you.
09:32Oh, yeah?
09:32Well, I'd do anything to be.
09:34You don't look much like a banana.
09:36Wait a second.
09:37I wish I were you.
09:39And I wish I were you.
09:40And we look exactly the same.
09:43Why don't we give it a try?
09:45You're the Thana Banana.
09:46Here I am.
09:47Gotcha.
09:48The carrot has landed.
09:50I repeat, the birdie is back in the cage.
09:53Yeah, birdie.
09:54Whoa.
09:55What's going on?
09:56Quickly, get her to the stage.
10:00Princess.
10:02That was weird.
10:04Come on, princess.
10:05Gotta go.
10:08Well, come on.
10:14The alien is attacking.
10:16Oh, no.
10:17Not just any alien.
10:19I'm a kissing alien.
10:20Mwah.
10:21Mwah.
10:22Mwah.
10:23No, no.
10:24Not kissing me.
10:27Princess.
10:28Coming.
10:31I just don't understand it.
10:33Well, there has to be some explanation.
10:36What's going on?
10:37We're in trouble.
10:38Big trouble.
10:39This is the second morning in a row
10:41that the chickens and cows haven't given us enough.
10:43That's probably the singing.
10:45What singing?
10:46You always sing to the animals.
10:48They love it.
10:49I don't know why you stopped.
10:51You stopped?
10:52That's gotta be it.
10:53I've got to admit, when you sing,
10:54it does make the animals very happy.
10:57You make them feel like giving more milk and eggs.
10:59It's like a cow lullaby.
11:02You're like a dairy queen.
11:06What should I sing?
11:09What should I sing?
11:11What you always sing.
11:13Banana, banana.
11:21Um, any requests?
11:24Ooh, that's not everything.
11:26Radio Stuff Mart.
11:28It's Radio Sweetheart.
11:30Like that makes any sense.
11:32OK.
11:34Move my feet to the beat down in my soul.
11:38Singing for the people, that's how I roll.
11:42Who would guess that a regular girl
11:46could get to sing for the whole wide world?
11:50Our song comes on, they play it loud.
11:53Banana, banana shouts the crowd.
11:55I'm a radio sweetheart.
11:58What are they doing?
12:01What are they doing?
12:04I don't think that worked.
12:07I don't understand.
12:09The animal's treating you like they don't even know you.
12:12Princess?
12:14That's because they don't know me.
12:18What?
12:19Don't be silly, princess.
12:21I'm not.
12:22You're not silly?
12:23I'm not princess.
12:25What?
12:26It's true.
12:28I'm sorry I lied,
12:30but I just wanted to trade places with princess.
12:33Trade places?
12:34With princess?
12:36We met at the playground and played on the seesaw.
12:40I saw that seesaw.
12:43And realized that her life is exactly what I wish I had.
12:47And my life is exactly what she wishes she had.
12:50That's impossible.
12:52The only person princess wants to be is Vanna Banana.
12:56What?
12:58I can't believe it.
13:00This is amazing.
13:02Vanna Banana kissed me.
13:05Shh.
13:06Vanna, where is princess?
13:08She's at the arena getting ready for tonight's show.
13:13Everybody, in the truck.
13:18Let's go bring princess home.
13:22Hurry.
13:24Hold on.
13:29Hurry.
13:31She's a diesel.
13:32Gotta give her time to warm up.
13:35Ah!
14:05Look at my fancy mansion home.
14:09Get out, la, la, la, la, la.
14:12Yeah, I'm playing with monkeys.
14:15But that's not everything.
14:24That's not the last line of the song.
14:27I couldn't remember.
14:28It was the first thing I thought of.
14:30Playing with monkeys was the first thing you thought of?
14:35Leave it to Vanna Banana to mix it up for the live crowd.
14:39Yowza.
14:40Who wants free T-shirts?
14:45Vanna, come here.
14:47I'm sorry.
14:48I'm just distracted.
14:50I know, Vanna.
14:52Your heart is clearly not in this anymore.
14:55No, I'm just...
14:57The song you sang for me last night,
15:00it made things so much clearer.
15:03Perhaps we take some time off.
15:05Give you, as you said, a normal life for a while.
15:09No.
15:10I want to be famous.
15:12But your song.
15:13That wasn't my song.
15:15What?
15:16I mean, it's not what I want anymore.
15:18It is not?
15:19No, this.
15:21I really, really want this.
15:24Give me one more chance to show you.
15:27Okay, Vanna.
15:29If that is what you really want.
15:33She really said that on stage?
15:35Yeah.
15:36Playing with monkeys.
15:38That's hilarious.
15:39Hold on.
15:43Steve.
15:44Rusty.
15:45It's me, Vanna.
15:46You've got to let us in.
15:48Harney har har.
15:49Vanna Banana's inside, little girl.
15:52Besides, if you're the real Vanna,
15:54you would know our names.
15:56I just called you Steve and Rusty.
15:58Right, but I'm Rusty and he's Steve.
16:01Please, guys.
16:02I have to...
16:03Wait.
16:04I thought I was Rusty.
16:05You're not getting in without a ticket.
16:08That's okay.
16:09I have a ticket.
16:10You do?
16:11A hot, scrumptious chocolate ticket.
16:17I'm not Princess.
16:18I'm Vanna Banana.
16:19I'm not Princess.
16:20I'm Vanna Banana.
16:21I'm not Princess.
16:22I'm Princess...
16:23Vanna Banana?
16:25Oh, thank goodness.
16:26I found you.
16:27You've got to come home.
16:29I tried to be you, but it was a disaster.
16:32What?
16:33I'll explain on the way.
16:34Come on.
16:35Excuse me.
16:36Who let you backstage?
16:38Mom!
16:39I've missed you so much.
16:41What's going on, Vanna?
16:42Who is this farm girl?
16:44I'm your daughter.
16:46We traded places a few days ago on the playground.
16:49Vanna?
16:50Yes, Mom?
16:51Not you.
16:52The other Vanna.
16:54Is this true?
16:55I don't know what she's talking about.
16:58What?
16:59Princess, you can't be me.
17:01And I can't be you.
17:03Steve!
17:04Rusty!
17:05Did you let this girl backstage?
17:07Um, she had a ticket.
17:09A delicious ticket.
17:11Don't you see how special you are?
17:13Princess, you grow pies.
17:15No one does that.
17:18This...
17:19This is the life I always wanted.
17:22Um, we're running out of T-shirts over here.
17:25Let's go, little missy.
17:27She's gotta get back on stage.
17:29Princess, you've got to tell them the truth.
17:32My name is not Princess.
17:34It's Vanna Banana.
17:38No more pies for you.
17:40Aw, man.
17:43I don't understand.
17:45My little girl.
17:48This is all my fault.
17:50We should have never traded places.
17:52Wait, where's Pepper?
17:55Once again, the one and only Vanna Banana!
18:01Princess?
18:08Why don't you want to be my sister?
18:12What did I do wrong?
18:18Dude.
18:25Dude.
18:30Vanna, sing.
18:32Just give me a second.
18:34Dude.
18:40From my feet to the beat down in my soul.
18:45Singing for the people, that's how I roll.
18:50Little regular girl.
18:52Princess, help!
18:55I'm scared.
18:57Pepper!
18:58You've got to let us back inside.
19:00Don't make me call my Robo-Pogo.
19:02Mommy!
19:04Who's that?
19:05That's my child.
19:06Come on.
19:08Mom.
19:09Princess, what happened?
19:10It's Pepper.
19:11He's stuck up there.
19:13What is going on here, Rusty?
19:15I'm Steve, and there's a boy up there.
19:18Help!
19:20Go rescue that boy.
19:22What do we do?
19:24I don't know.
19:25I got it.
19:26Veggie Pyramid.
19:28You up top.
19:40My bad.
19:41I'm so sorry, Princess.
19:44You didn't do anything wrong.
19:46But none of this would have happened if I hadn't made you lose that contest.
19:52Now you don't want to be my sister anymore.
19:56Sister?
19:57Is what Sister Girl said actually true?
20:00Who are you?
20:03I'm not Vanna Banana.
20:07My name is Princess Poppyseed.
20:10I traded places with Vanna Banana because I didn't think being princess was good enough.
20:16I wanted what Vanna has.
20:18I wanted to be special.
20:22But God made Vanna to be Vanna, and he made me to be me.
20:26I taught her that.
20:28And now my brother's in danger because of what I did.
20:31I'm so sorry.
20:33It's no use.
20:34There's no other way up there.
20:36There has to be another way.
20:38Not unless somebody can jump really high.
20:41Jump really high?
20:43Dad!
20:45The Robo-Pogo!
20:47Uh, what is a Robo-Pogo?
20:54I'm a-comin', Pepper!
20:55No, Dad. Let me.
20:57But, Princess.
20:58It's my fault he's up there.
21:00I need to go get him.
21:02Plus, you're not very good at pogoing.
21:05True.
21:10Pepper!
21:11Princess!
21:12Oh, Pepper, it's not your fault.
21:14It's mine.
21:15You said you were a princess.
21:18You didn't want to be my sister anymore.
21:21Well, that's impossible, isn't it?
21:24It's scary up here.
21:26Then hold on to me, and I'll get you back down safe and sound.
21:31Don't let go.
21:33I won't, little brother.
21:43Pepper!
21:49I don't want to be Vanna anymore.
21:52I'd really like to be a Poppyseed again.
21:56Oh, sweet girl.
22:00I'm so sorry, Mom.
22:02I love you, Princess Poppyseed.
22:06Family hug!
22:09Oh, Vanna.
22:11I am so sorry.
22:13No, I had forgotten what an amazing life God had already given me.
22:18Sweet girl, we both forgot.
22:21You are special just for being the wonderful Vanna.
22:25The daughter who I love.
22:28Vanna.
22:29Mrs. Banana.
22:31Family hug!
22:39I think it's even.
22:41Cameron, your side.
22:54I've got my mother and my father, sisters and my brother.
22:58My friends and neighbors, we're so happy.
23:03I've got my mother and my father, sisters and my brother.
23:06My friends and neighbors, we're so happy cause we love each other.
23:10It's a lot of love and it's right where I belong.
23:19My life has challenges, it's just as hard as any other.
23:22But God cares for us, we'll get through it and it's no bother.
23:26It's a lot of love and it's right where I belong.
23:33A lot of love is right where I belong.
23:41There's so much joy in life, it's something I had to discover.
23:44Cause God the Father made a life for me that's like no other.
23:48It's a lot of love and it's right where I belong.
23:54A lot of love is right where I belong.
23:59So there you go, Madison.
24:01The tile isn't really greener on the other side of the fence.
24:04That's right.
24:06Especially when you take down the fence and repaint the tile.
24:09Is that another anomaly?
24:11I'm pretty sure it is.
24:13Thanks for helping me clean up the kitchen, Bob.
24:15I really didn't think about the implications.
24:17You mean that painting the tile with specially formulated fast-drying tile paint would be hard to wipe up?
24:22Those implications?
24:24Yeah, those ones.
24:26That's okay, Larry.
24:28The point you were trying to make is an important one.
24:30It's not good to compare yourself to others and to want what they have.
24:34The grass, or tile, isn't any greener on the other side of the fence.
24:39Let's see if Cordy has a verse for us today.
24:42And so what we have learned applies to our lives today.
24:46God has a lot to say in his book.
24:50You missed a spot.
24:53You see, we know that God's word is for everyone.
24:58And now that our song is done, we'll take a look.
25:03Jeremiah 1-5a
25:05Before I formed you in your mother's body, I chose you.
25:09Before you were born, I set you apart to serve me.
25:13In our story, we learned that God made Princess to be Princess.
25:18And he made Vanna to be Vanna.
25:20God made each of us special.
25:22He knew us and had a plan for our lives before we were even born.
25:27Sometimes it's hard to see God's plan for our lives,
25:29but we need to trust him that his plan is the best plan.
25:33That's right, Larry.
25:35So, Madison, you can be happy for Taylor about all the great things she has,
25:40and at the same time be thankful about the person God has made you
25:44and the plan he has for you.
25:46And I bet you'll see the grass is the greenest right there on your side of the fence.
25:51Ooh, nice.
25:53Thanks, Bob. Thanks, Larry.
25:55I'm getting the hang of this anomaly thing.
25:57Yep.
25:58Well, that's all the time we have for today, kids.
26:00Always remember, God made you special.
26:03And he loves you very much.
26:05Bye!
