Perhaps they're being examined by aliens

As a young lass, nigh on forty years ago, I was occasionally tortured by a children's program called "Romper Room". I was a generous viewer in general, but "R.R." was way over my threshhold. The only thing I remember from the program, beyond the deathly boring general ambience, is how the adult female leader of the group of emotionally and intellectually mangled children would pick up a hand-mirror at the end. The mirror was, or became, hollow, and she would stare out through it into the tv camera, saying, "I see Johnny, I see Susie, and there's Jimmy, and Ruth, and Davy..."

Well.....

I don't see Greggy, I don't see Joey, and where's Amber, and Alison, and....

It's odd how these things come in rashes. Perhaps it is an alien invasion.
