It's amazing how this show, and Sesame Street have been been watched by generations of children, over the years. They simply don't make them like they used to. Farewell Mr. Rogers.
I think it's rather clear here that Fred Rogers knows that division - and he would explain it very clearly on the show, saying, "Let's pretend that..." in reference to the Make-Believe segments and, in a few episodes, actually showing the puppets and how he does the voices. Here at the end, he's just being his silly self - he was very grounded in reality, and that allowed him to drop the "I'm an adult so I can never have fun like a child any more" that many adults snap into.
Watching this at 48 makes me feel like 4 all over again. His Majesty's voice hasn't changed a bit.

Thanks. I've heard not one single bit of Mr. Rogers criticism that, once considered, had any basis in reality.
I love this guy
where's the rest
That could not have been stated better.
lol
Looks like Fred was at a total loss when it came to dealing with reality. Even he recognizes it when he takes off the puppet at the end.
