Seesaw

**Seesaw** is an episode from the second season of *Bluey*.

## Synopsis

One day at the park, Bluey, Bingo, their friend Pom Pom, and Chilli are playing "Laundry", with the three kids pretending to be the washing, hanging onto a bar. Then, all the sudden, Bluey and Bingo get off and run, pretending to be blown off the line as Chilli chases after them. Unfortunately, it's a long way down for the tiny Pom Pom, who Chilli helps getting down. "Pomeranians are a small breed" as the former puts it. So they continue playing, and yet again Pom Pom struggles over a ledge due to her size. She then says that it's best not to play because she's too small and sadly runs to her mum.

Bingo then spots the seesaw and she and her sister play on it. Seeing Pom Pom so gloomy, Bandit does something about it. He walks to Bingo, knocks her off, and sits on her side of the seesaw, refusing to get off, classic playground bully style. The girls try to get him off by getting on the other end, but they're not heavy enough.

Fortunately, Chloe comes along. Bluey asks her to help, and she agrees, getting on, but they're still too light. Bluey then calls Chilli, hoping she'll sort him out. She helps Bandit instead by feeding him sausages, which the girls think makes him heavier and leaving them shocked and betrayed. Bluey then finds Coco and gets her to help, and it seems to be working... but Bandit just puts more force; they're still too light. So, Bluey brings along Snickers (after snatching him off the duck he was riding), only to find that Bandit has picked up a random rock, made it his pet, and named him Rodney. Bluey and Snickers pile onto the other side, it works until Bandit picks up a pebble so Rodney can have a pet rock. To their dismay, they've run out of kids. All except one...

The kids call for Pom Pom and ask her to help them. She enthusiastically answers this call. After climbing on and nearly slipping to Bandit, Pom Pom is determined that she is what they need. "Pomeranians are a small but hardy breed!" Thus, they finally lift Bandit up off the ground, leaving him stuck in the air. After demanding to be let down, the kids get off seesaw... at the same time, so the fall will be swift. What follows is that they swarm him in an onslaught of tickles.

Later that sunset, Bingo, Bluey and Pom Pom are playing flies and spiders, with Judo playing along. When Pom Pom asks Bingo whether she can be the spider, Judo says that Pom Pom is too small for this. Bluey defends her, saying that Pomeranians are a small but hardy breed.
