Greeeetings! My name is Mrs. Pinkelmeyer™. I was just a simple lady living in Poppingham, England, with my dog Moopus McGlinden™, when something very unusual happened.

One night the phone rang as I was making a delicious rrrrump rrrroast. It was a young woman calling allll the way from New York City! Can you imagine that? Poor dear- she was so distraught. She was taking care of her nephew, Henry, while his parents were on vacation. I could hear the boy crying in the background. The young woman told me he was sad because he missed his parents.

He sounded like such a sweet boy that I decided right then and there that I would do my very best to cheer him up, even though Moopus McGlinden was nipping at my heels. I told him about the delicious rrrrump rrrroast I was cooking for Moopus and me and asked him if he liked rrrrump rrrroast. He laughed and giggled and sounded just so delightful that I couldn’t help myself and sang him my favorite song, “Mrs. Pinkelmeyer sends, all her love across the land, change your frown into a grin, she’ll make you happy.”

When I was sure that Henry was comforted, I wished him sweet dreams and hung up the phone. Wouldn’t you know it; I had burned my rrrrump rrrroast! Oh well. Moopus and I would have to find something else to eat for dinner.

It made me so happy to make young Henry smile that I decided to cross the pond and spread more cheer to all the children in America. I can’t wait to get started! Moopus and I will give big hugs and lots of love, teach the Pinkelmeyer Dance and “make you happy.” Now if I could just keep my stockings from falling down and Moopus from getting into trouble…
