Emotions: Sadness

Flamingo is feeling down in the dumps and seeks companionship from his friends in order to understand why sad things happen. But somethings are too complex to really understand so Flamingo's friends list off some things that make them happy. Unfortunately, Flamingo still feels sad until Potato makes a sarcastic joke to lighten the mood. Flamingo still feels a little bit sad, but he also feels a little bit better.

An excellent way to discuss this one particular overwhelming emotion that doesn't belittle it or dismiss it. In the end, Flamingo still feels sad but is on the up-and-up. There are more sophisticated books out there about emotions, but I wouldn't ascribe that word to Michael Ian Black. Another fine addition to the emotions collection.
