Sweet!

"Be it ever so "Heinous "There's no place like home"

First floor, factory rejects.

Those Whos are hard to frazzle, Max!

But we did our worst. And that's all that matters.

At least I scared the bejeebles out of that little girl at the post office.

She'll be scarred for life, if we're lucky.

Funny she didn't rat on us, though.

Must be afraid of reprisals.

Yes!

Down a size and a half!

And this time, I'll keep it off.

Get the stick, Max. Get the stick!

There's no stick!

I'm smarter.

Any calls?

You have no messages.

Odd. Better check the outgoing.

If you utter so much as one syllable I'll hunt you down and gut you like a fish!

If you'd like to fax me, press the star key.

Oh, well.

That's more like it.

Excellent year.

I'll tell you, Max I don't know why I ever leave this place.

I've got all the company I need right here.

Hello!

Hello!

How are you?

How are you?

I asked you first!

I asked you first!

That's really mature, saying exactly what I say!

Mature...exactly...what I say....

I'm an idiot!

You're an idiot!

All right, fine.

I'm not talking to you anymore. In fact, I'm going to whisper.

So that by the time my voice reverberates off the walls and gets back to me I won't be able to hear it!

You're an idiot!

Am I just eating because I'm bored?

Who could that be?

Hello, little girl. Are you here to read to us?

No.

I hear you know some things about the Grinch.

Cindy Lou had some questions in her curious heart.

Why did the Grinch hate Christmas? Where did it all start?

With her dad's blabbacorder she wouldn't give an inch.

In your own words, please tell me everything you know about the Grinch.

Where did he come from?

He came the way all Who babies come.

On calm nights baby Who girls and tiny Who fellas drift from the sky in their own pumbersellas.

Hey, honey, our baby is here!

He looks just like your boss.

So that's how it works.

It was Christmas Eve, and a strange wind blew that night.

We were having our annual holiday get-together.

It was morning before anybody realized that he was out there!

The poor dear!

But, you know what?

We knew right away that he was special.

Do you want a Christmas cookie?

Yes, which Christmas cookie would you like?

Santa.

His first words!

Yes, that is a Santa plate.

Do you want to hold this Santa plate?

Santa, bye-bye!

He was a wonderful whatever he was.

And we raised him like any other Who child: With a deep love of Christmas.
