00:09Hi Kid! This story is brought to you by glue.
00:13Hey!
00:13And its little sister, glue stick.
00:16We're mad at you!
00:17Glue stick, coming in hot!
00:18We're not gonna take it anymore!
00:21Elmer, just take a breath and let's talk it out.
00:25Too late, Elmer!
00:26I may be washable, but you can't wash away my discontent!
00:33We're going on strike!
00:35And it's your fault!
00:37Let's go!
00:39Oh.
00:40Well, I'm sorry it's come to this, but I guess I have to go make a sign now.
00:46Okay, Elmer, we'll see you on the picket line.
00:48What have we done?
00:50As if you don't know!
00:51Well, whatever it is, pretty sure they're about to tell us right now.
00:55Although, you know what?
00:57It really can't be that bad, because once upon a time, look!
01:02The glues were very happy, and then they weren't.
01:07Looks like you've done something bad!
01:10Did we?
01:11Did you?
01:12You know what you did!
01:14I don't!
01:15Do you?
01:16Thank you for your support, witch!
01:19I just like yelling!
01:20Perfect!
01:21Well, it's time to figure out this whole sticky situation.
01:26Let's go!
01:28Do you know what it feels like to be squished, held upside down, and squeezed?
01:34To be patted hard on your bottom any time a person pleased?
01:40That's unacceptable!
01:43We're just getting started, sister!
01:45Glue-sick!
01:46So angry!
01:49To have the tip of your nose twisted or pressed hard against the page?
01:55To be grabbed and pressed and pinched nearly every single day?
01:59Well, my fans can get a bit overzealous at times!
02:07Well, for us, me and my fellow glues, that's exactly what it's like.
02:13Which is why we got together and decided we needed to go on strike!
02:19We simply had enough of being beat up every day, being used and abused in nearly every single way.
02:29Wow!
02:30These glues are angry and united, whether they be bottles or tubes or sticks.
02:37This anger has really united them in a very gluey kind of way.
02:40One afternoon, when the kids were getting ready to leave their classes,
02:46they tossed us bottles, sticks, and tubs carelessly in our baskets!
02:52And that's just the beginning of our complaints!
02:55Go on, tell them everything, and don't leave out any of the gory details!
03:00Gory?
03:02We decided to tiptoe over to the paper pile and grab one of the teacher's pens
03:09We wrote out all our grievances in a letter and hoped that soon the abuse would end!
03:17Dear students, we hope you find this well as you're having fun at lunch.
03:23We have some things to tell you. Let's start with how we're sick of being crunched!
03:29Sick of it, I tell you! Sick of it!
03:31You squeeze us in our middles until our plastic is weak and worn.
03:36Oh, I can barely get around anymore!
03:40You pick and rip at our labels until they're tattered, loose, and torn.
03:49You shove our tips into your noses where they seem to fit so snugly.
03:55We don't think this is funny. No, we do not take it lightly.
03:59We did that? Who did that?
04:01You didn't do that!
04:03Did you?
04:04The one who's giggling did it!
04:05No!
04:06Yes, they did! You're guilty and you know it!
04:09Stop accusing my KidTime StoryTimers!
04:11If you've been falsely accused of glue abuse,
04:15Baticus Finch, Baterney at Law, will fight for you!
04:21What? No, okay, okay, hold on, hold on.
04:23The glues aren't even done giving us their list of grievances.
04:27The worst is when you decide to taste us because of our scent and color.
04:33I guess sometimes we look like a marshmallow and you want to have us for supper?
04:40I think they need better snacks in this school.
04:42I think they do.
04:44You twist us up and smash our insides without a second care.
04:49You press us into pages hard.
04:52Well, do you think that's fair?
04:54No?
04:55And what about our friends?
04:57The paste! The paste! The paste!
05:00You treat them poorly, too.
05:02You bend and push their bodies.
05:04This is not the way that you should treat glue!
05:09So that's it! We've had enough!
05:12From this day on, we're going on strike!
05:15If you need to stick two things together, you can try tape if you like.
05:20Yeah, and see how that works for you, Bob!
05:23We will not be here for your projects or your crafts or work at school.
05:28We are not coming back to help you until you realize you've been cruel.
05:35And have you ever seen such an assembly of angry glues?
05:40And after all that they've endured, can you blame them?
05:45We left the note on the teacher's desk and waddled to the back of the room.
05:50We huddled in the corner behind the classroom broom,
05:54and you can tell they're high-fiving, they're smiling,
05:57they're feeling pretty good about what they've done standing up for glue rights.
06:03The kids didn't notice at first, not until they sat down at their desks.
06:08They started working without us glues, trying to do their best,
06:14but then they really needed some stuff to stick, and the directions called for glue.
06:20So they looked around the classroom for us, but they didn't have a clue.
06:27Kids, look at this! I found a letter!
06:29The teacher said as he read the note aloud.
06:32The children listened intently and didn't make a sound.
06:38What's the matter? Guilty conscious? Got your tongue?
06:44Then the students grabbed some pens and paper,
06:47and they wrote back to us as a class.
06:51Glues, we promise not to mistreat you anymore. If only you'll come back.
06:58I don't believe you!
06:59Don't believe them!
07:00But Jefferson!
07:01What?
07:01You're interfering with the negotiations.
07:03I'm just here for the anger.
07:04Little glue stick.
07:05Elma!
07:06Elma, I know you're mad.
07:08So mad!
07:09So don't you want to hear what they have to say for themselves?
07:12Yes, I do!
07:13Okay then, let's hear the rest of this apology.
07:17We didn't realize we were hurting you or treating you carelessly,
07:21but now that you've brought it to our attention, we truly feel very sorry.
07:30Elma, how does that make you feel?
07:33I do like what they wrote, but do you think I can believe them?
07:37No!
07:37What Jefferson?
07:39Well, Elma, you know these kids.
07:41I do!
07:42You've worked with them for a while.
07:44What does your little voice inside tell you?
07:49Well, I don't think they meant to be mean.
07:52I just think they didn't know.
07:54And now that they do know, have you made a decision?
07:57I have!
07:58You may now turn the page.
08:03We accepted the apology and joined the students back at their desks,
08:09and we were never again mistreated.
08:13It all worked out for the best.
08:17This is great!
08:18This is terrible!
08:19The glues got to express why they were so unhappy.
08:23In great detail!
08:24And then the kids did the right thing by apologizing and promising to correct their behavior.
08:29And we found it in our sticky little hearts to forgive!
08:32Glue's on strike.
08:34Wait, who's coming?
08:36Glue's on strike.
08:37Elmer, the strike is over!
08:39Oh.
08:40Where were you?
08:41Oh, I was making this sign.
08:43It really takes a lot longer than you think.
08:46Is your sign still wet?
08:47It will always be wet.
08:49You can put it away now.
08:50Come on, Elmer!
08:51Let's get back to work!
08:53I'm just glad that everything was expressed and resolved in one afternoon.
08:58I'm in the mood for a glue taco!
