The pigtail Muppet was featured in a video of last month titled "You Belong". Elmo meets Karli, Dalia and Clem at home for a pizza party.

At one point, while Karli has Elmo set up for dinner and shows him the placemats of everyone, she realizes that his is missing. She tells her parents, "I do not have room."

Clem tells Elmo that Karli "is going through a difficult time," but notes that "we are here for her, we are her parents for the moment."

When Elmo asks what it means, Dalia says, "Sometimes even moms and dads need help taking care of their children. Karli's mom has had a difficult time, so we are her foster parents, or her parents for now. We will protect her until her mom can look after her again.
