How "Reader Rabbit" affects Sparkle's speech:

I told Sparkle it was time to get dressed.  Reluctantly, she stops her "Reader Rabbit" game to come with me.  Seeing her clothes laid out on the bed and ready, Sparkle begins talking in a calm, reasonable, narrative voice.

     "This is Sparkle.  Sparkle is screaming.  Let's listen in on what she says," says Sparkle conversationally, putting on her shirt.  The screaming begins.  "NO!  NO!  I DON'T WANNA GET DRESSED!  STOP!  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"  She puts on her overall shorts calmly throughout the screaming, and cheerfully walks out of her room, all dressed.
