You know it's not fine, 17 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 2: replied Levi's. He put the kickstand up on his bike 18 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 2: and started to walk towards the garage. And more importantly, 19 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 2: you know she doesn't think it's fine. Levi walked toward 20 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 2: the garage. He pointed at the front window where his 21 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 2: mom was standing and pointing to her head. This was 22 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 2: her way of reminding him that he needed his bike 23 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 2: helmet before he went anywhere, even if that anywhere was 24 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 2: just three houses down the street. 25 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:14,919 Speaker 1: I've got it, called. 26 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 2: Out Levi as he held up his bike helmet for 27 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 2: his mom to see as he walked out of the 28 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 2: garage and hopped on his bike. Sorry, Levi, I guess 29 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 2: I forgot for a second. How strict mom and dad 30 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 2: are about things like that, said Ivy. You know they 31 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 2: only do it to keep us safe. I know, Ivy, 32 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 2: but sometimes they just have to let us be kids, 33 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 2: you know, care free and adventurous, said Levi as he 34 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 2: clipped his bike helmet securely into his chin. I'm fine 35 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 2: to wear a helmet. It's not that it's just that 36 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 2: I feel like they don't trust us. I wonder what 37 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 2: they were like when they were kids, Levi and Ivy 38 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 2: waved to their mom, who was still watching them from 39 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 2: the window as they pedaled off to see their friend Billy. 40 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 2: I've bet mom had a lemonade stand when she was 41 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 2: our age, except you have to use hand sanitizer before 42 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 2: she would give you a dream, laughed Ivy as she 43 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 2: rode along next to Levi. Good one, Ivy, and I 44 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 2: bet dad played soccer and baseball. It's just like me, 45 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 2: except he refused to ever slide, because how would he 46 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 2: ever get those grass stans out of his clothes. 47 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 1: After a game, giggled Levi. 48 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 2: I bet when they rode their bikes they wore knee pads, 49 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 2: elbow pads, and a helmet. 50 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: Said Ivy. 51 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 2: Oh no way, they would have just opted to stay 52 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 2: inside and organize their toys and color coded bins like 53 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,119 Speaker 2: they do in our playroom, replied Levi. It sure would 54 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 2: be funny to see what mom and dad were really 55 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 2: like as kids, said Ivy as they stopped in front 56 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 2: of Billy's house. Funny for sure, but I'm not thinking 57 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 2: it would be very much fun, said Leevi, hopping off 58 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 2: his bike and tossing his helmet on the front lawn 59 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 2: of Billy's house. Let's go play and make sure you're 60 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 2: being super safe and careful and avoid. 61 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: Those grass staines. 62 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 2: Oh I will, And I'll be sure to triple wash 63 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 2: my hands before we have any snacks, and keep my 64 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 2: voice down if we're having fun and laughing too much, 65 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 2: because we wouldn't want to disturb the whole neighborhood, giggled Ivy. 66 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 2: Levi and Ivy ran off to play for the afternoon, 67 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 2: getting into typical harmless kid mischief, but all the while 68 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 2: hoping their mom wouldn't happen to be taking a walk 69 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 2: through the neighborhood and see them. It's very important to 70 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,399 Speaker 2: know that Levi and Ivy loved their parents more than anything, 71 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 2: but sometimes they felt that they were just a little 72 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 2: too overprotective, always wanting to make sure they were safe, clean, 73 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 2: and not too loud. But all parents are like that, 74 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 2: always wanting the best for their kids, and that means 75 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 2: watching over them and helping them avoid mistakes that could 76 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 2: get them hurt, in trouble or covered in grass stains. 77 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 2: But what Levi and Ivy sometimes forget is that their 78 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 2: parents weren't always parents. Their mom and dad were kids once, 79 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 2: just like them, and although it seems like a long 80 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 2: time ago, you never forget what it's like being a kid, 81 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 2: having the whole world to explore, being silly and adventurous, 82 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 2: innocent and curious, and feeling like anything was possible. The 83 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 2: afternoon went on and Levi and Ivy had a great 84 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 2: time playing with their friend Billy, but it was time 85 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 2: to go home. They both made sure they had their 86 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 2: bike helmets on before they headed off, and were lucky 87 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 2: they did because both their parents were outside doing some 88 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 2: yard work when they turned into the driveway. 89 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: Hey kiddos, we. 90 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 2: Knew you'd be here any second because we could hear 91 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 2: you from all the way down the street, said Levi 92 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 2: and Ivy's dad. 93 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: You two have to be just. 94 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 2: A little bit quieter, you know, not everyone in the 95 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 2: neighborhood wants to hear your conversation about which animal would 96 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 2: win a race, a cheetah with a jetpack or a 97 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 2: greyhound with a turbo booster. 98 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: Okay, dad, sorry, whispered Ivy. 99 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 2: To be funny, and it looks like you didn't get 100 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 2: too messy playing today. That's good, added their dad as 101 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 2: he spotted only a few dirt stains on levi shorts. 102 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 2: I guess that will come out in the wash. I mean, 103 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 2: at least it's not grass Danes. 104 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,119 Speaker 1: Laughed Levi, interrupting his dad. 105 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 2: If you were a superhero, Dad, your biggest enemy would 106 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 2: be doctor grass staines. Ha ha, very funny, Levi smiled 107 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 2: Levi's dad as he went back to cleaning up the 108 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 2: front yard. Flower, and you two made sure you washed 109 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 2: your hands before having any snacks at Billy's house, right, 110 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 2: asked Levine Ivy's mom, as she cut some flowers to 111 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 2: bring into the house. Levi and Ivy just looked at 112 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: each other and smiled. Actually, they're having a problem with 113 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 2: their plumbing today, so there was no running water in 114 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 2: the house, started Leev, trying not to laugh. Yep, we 115 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 2: just wiped our hands on some squirrels we were playing 116 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 2: with before we had a snack, said Ivy, trying to 117 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 2: hold back her giggles. They didn't seem to mind, and 118 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 2: they didn't look too dirty, so I think we should 119 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 2: be okay, very funny too. You know, your dad and 120 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 2: I are just trying to protect you and watch out 121 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 2: for you, said Levi and Ivy's mom. 122 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: Is it so bad that we. 123 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 2: Want you to be clean and safe? No, Mom, it's 124 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 2: not that at all. You guys are the best, and 125 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 2: we know you're always looking out for us, but sometimes 126 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 2: it seems like you care more about that parent stuff 127 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 2: than about us just having fun and being kids, said Levi. 128 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 2: Levi and Ivy's mom and dad stopped what they were 129 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 2: doing and turned to look at their kids. They both 130 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 2: had a look on their face that said I'm sorry. 131 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 2: You feel that way, and yes, we remember when we 132 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 2: were your age and our parents did the same thing. 133 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 2: We understand how you feel. Kids started their dad. You know, 134 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 2: we were your age ones. 135 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: That's right. 136 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,239 Speaker 2: We had fun when on epic adventures, got our clothes 137 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,239 Speaker 2: dirty and got into kid mischief. But now that we're parents, 138 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 2: we see why our parents were always right there watching 139 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 2: over us, added Levi and Ivy's mom. She's right, said 140 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 2: Levin Ivy's dad. And sometimes I wish they had been 141 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: watching over me a little bit more, because it turns 142 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 2: out juggling eggs on my parents' new rug because my 143 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 2: best friend and I were practicing to join the circus 144 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 2: was not the best idea I ever had, so once 145 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 2: they found out, I spent the rest of the day 146 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 2: scrubbing egg goop. 147 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: Off the rug. Not fun. 148 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 2: Levi and Ivy laughed at their dad's story, imagining him 149 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 2: juggling eggs and watching them smash all on the new rug. 150 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 2: We learned from our experiences growing up, and now we 151 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 2: do the things we do. 152 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: To help you out, at Levi and Ivy's mom. But mom, 153 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: that's just it. 154 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 2: If you're always watching over us, then we'll never have 155 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 2: our own experiences, said Levi. 156 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: And if we don't have our own experiences, how will 157 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: we know what to stop our kids from doing? Giggle Ivey, 158 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: good point, said their dad with a smile. 159 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 2: But for now, why don't you two go inside and 160 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 2: play for a bit while we finish about here. We'll 161 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 2: have dinner in a couple of hours. So Levi and 162 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 2: Ivy ran off to try and find something fun to do. 163 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 2: That immediately led them to their playroom and their game closet. 164 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 2: Having been outside for most of the afternoon, sitting down 165 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 2: and playing a board game sounded like a great idea, 166 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 2: but all the games that they took out were the 167 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 2: ones they had played many times before. Then, suddenly, when 168 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 2: they thought there wasn't another game left in the closet, 169 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 2: Levi turned around with a dust covered game box in 170 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 2: his hand. What's this asked Levi as he walked over 171 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 2: to Ivy, who was sitting on the floor. I've never 172 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 2: seen that game before, she replied, But the box reminds 173 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 2: me of those funny pictures Mom showed us when she 174 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 2: was a kid. You're right, all those neon colors and 175 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 2: squiggly lines and shapes, said Levi. It looks what was 176 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 2: the word Dad told us he would say all the 177 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 2: time when he was a kid, rhythmic, No, radiant, No, 178 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 2: I remember now, it's it's radical, giggleed Ivy. Totally radical, 179 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 2: Levi giggled back as he put the board game box 180 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 2: down on the floor and sat with Ivy. I bet 181 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 2: it's one of mom or Dad's old games, if they 182 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 2: snuck in here and forgot about I think we should 183 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 2: give it a try, said Ivy, opening the box and 184 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 2: taking out the game board, which was covered in the 185 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 2: same ninety style patterns and bright neon colors. Sure, let's play, 186 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 2: replied Levi. Maybe we'll teach us a little bit about 187 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 2: what it was like to be a kid. 188 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: In the nineties. 189 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 2: And boy was Levi wright. The game was called Totally 190 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 2: Tubular Time Travelers. Just the name alone made Levi and 191 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 2: Ivy laugh. They felt like it was a totally different 192 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 2: language and couldn't imagine words like that ever being cool 193 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 2: or in style. As they looked at the game board, 194 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 2: they saw trails that led from one side to the other, 195 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 2: like lots of game boards they had played on before, 196 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 2: but this game board was a little different. This game 197 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 2: board had a center circle with the words place your 198 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 2: hands here printed on it. The spot looked like a 199 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 2: TV screen, and they thought maybe the electronics in the 200 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 2: game were still working. 201 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: So they gave it a try. There's no instruction, said Levi. 202 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 2: I'm sure they got lost a million years ago when 203 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 2: this game was cool, So let's just put our hands 204 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 2: in the middle and maybe we'll figure it out from here. 205 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 2: I think that's a good plan, added Ivy. I'll press 206 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 2: this on button first to see if it even still works. 207 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 2: Ivy then pressed the little button marked on, and the 208 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 2: game board buzzed in world to life. This, all of 209 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 2: a sudden, became a lot more interesting. Levi and Ivy 210 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:43,719 Speaker 2: smiled at each other as they put their hands in 211 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 2: the center of the board, and that's when something unexpected happened. 212 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: In the blink of an eye. 213 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 2: The game board glowed with a bright neon light, and 214 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,599 Speaker 2: in an instant, Levi and Ivy were transported out of 215 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 2: their playroom and. 216 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: Into a world they had never seen before. 217 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 2: Things looked similar, but not exactly as they did in 218 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 2: their normal lives, that is until they heard two voices 219 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 2: that sounded kind of familiar. Levi and Ivy were still 220 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 2: holding hands when they opened their eyes up to the 221 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 2: bright neon light faded away. Where are we asked Ivy, 222 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 2: frantically looking around to see. They were in a park 223 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 2: that kind of looked like the one by their house, 224 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,439 Speaker 2: but not exactly. I don't think mom and dad would 225 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 2: like this totally, right, answered Levi, And that's when they 226 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 2: heard someone shout something from behind a giant metal slide. 227 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 2: It was the voice of a little boy. Levi turned 228 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 2: to Ivy in motioned for them to go and check 229 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 2: it out. Maybe that kid could help figure out where they. 230 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: Were and why they were there. 231 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 2: Okay, watch this, said the little boy, as Levi and 232 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 2: Ivy got closer. I bet you, two Capri's sons, that 233 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 2: I can slide down this slide standing up. No way, 234 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 2: you'll fall before you make it halfway, said the little 235 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 2: girl he was talking to. 236 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 1: But I do love Capri's sun juice boxes, so oh, 237 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: I say go for it and prove me right. 238 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 2: Levi and Ivy could see it wasn't the best idea, 239 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 2: so they shouted out that the little boy should stop 240 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 2: before he got hurt. Wow they sound just like our parents, ha, 241 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,839 Speaker 2: laughed the two kids as the little boy started down 242 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 2: the slide, tumbling halfway down as he lost his balance. 243 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 2: You're okay, shouted the little girl. Now, since I want 244 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 2: those juice boxes, we'll have to grab them from my house, 245 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 2: said the little boy. Don't you worry, you'll get them, 246 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 2: but for now, I'd like to figure out who those 247 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 2: two kids are. That's when little boy walked over to 248 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 2: Levi and Ivy and said, hello, Hi there, I'm Eric, 249 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 2: and this is my friend Alexa, said the little boy 250 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 2: with a smile. Hi replied Ivy. 251 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:47,439 Speaker 1: That's funny. 252 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 2: Those are our parents' names. I'm Ivy and this is 253 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 2: my brother Levi. And that slidest you just pulled could 254 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 2: have ended with you getting really hurt. 255 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: I'm thinking maybe you. 256 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 2: Shouldn't try that again. Eric and Electa just looked at 257 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 2: each other, totally shocked at what they were hearing. Oh 258 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 2: for sure, I definitely won't try that super fun trick again, 259 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 2: not laughed. 260 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: Eric as he high fived Alexa. Don't be so overprotective. 261 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 2: We're just having some fun, added Alexa. Ivy and Levi 262 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 2: couldn't put their finger on it, but they felt like 263 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 2: they knew these two kids, but given what they had 264 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 2: just been through, they didn't think so much about it. 265 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: At that point. 266 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 2: They were a little more concerned with the fact that 267 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 2: they had just been transported to an alternate reality through 268 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 2: an old board game from. 269 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: The nineteen nineties. 270 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 2: Hi, I know this is going to sound weird, but 271 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,439 Speaker 2: can you tell us where we are? 272 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: Asked Levi. 273 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 2: That is a weird question. Shouldn't you know where you are? 274 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 2: I mean you got here by yourselves, right? 275 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: Where were you going? Asked Alexa. 276 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 2: That's just it, answered Ivy, as she went on to 277 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 2: tell the two kids what had just happened to her 278 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 2: and LEVI. Wow, that sounds totally right, exclaimed Eric. I 279 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 2: wish something cool like that would happen to us. Totally radical, 280 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 2: said Ivy, sounding kind of confused. Don't you mean super, Eric, No, 281 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 2: I mean it's radical, you know, awesome, great, fantastic, said Alexa. 282 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 2: It's just funny because we've only ever heard our parents 283 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 2: say totally radical. 284 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: Before, said Levi. 285 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 2: You know it's because they were kids in the nineties. Yeah, 286 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 2: just like all of us, said Eric. Sandy more than 287 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 2: a little confused. What do you mean just like all 288 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 2: of us? 289 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: Asked Ivy. It's not twenty twenty four. 290 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 2: I guess it could be if you were some kind 291 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,959 Speaker 2: of time traveler. Answered Alexa. But here it's just good 292 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 2: old nineteen ninety five. Levi and Ivy could have not 293 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 2: been more shocked at what they were just told the 294 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 2: game they found was magic and that game had sent 295 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 2: them back in time. 296 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: I guess this all makes sense. 297 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 2: Since the name of the game is totally tubular time travel, 298 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 2: said Ivy as she sat down on a nearby swing 299 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 2: to think about how she and Levi were going to 300 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,959 Speaker 2: get back home. Levi, on the other hand, thought Eric 301 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 2: and Alexa were super fun and was ready to play 302 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 2: regardless of the year. LEVI, come on, what are you doing, 303 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 2: asked Ivy. We kind of have a big problem on 304 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 2: our hands. Well, you know what we say when we're 305 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 2: having a problem with something, asked Alexa. 306 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: We say, talk to the hand. 307 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 2: It's kind of like what you would say when you 308 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 2: don't want to hear what's being said. 309 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: That's so funny, Levi. 310 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 2: Mom just said that to me the other day when 311 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 2: I kept asking her to buy me some ice cream 312 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 2: on the way home from soccer practice, said Ivus. She 313 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 2: took a closer look at Alexa and suddenly realized where 314 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 2: she knew her from. 315 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: Alexa, did you get that little scar. 316 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 2: On your chin when you fell in your driveway running 317 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 2: on ice on Christmas Day, asked Ivy. Levi. I heard 318 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 2: his sister's question and walked over to get a look 319 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 2: at the scar. Once he saw it, he was shocked. 320 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, how did you know that? Asked Alexi. 321 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 2: I had gotten a new sled for Christmas, and I 322 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 2: slept when I ran outside to go sledding. I've you, 323 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 2: looked at Levi, and Levi looked at Eric. Eric, do 324 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 2: you buy chance play on a baseball team called the 325 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 2: Silver Sluggers? 326 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: Asked Levi, already knowing the answer. 327 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 2: Wow, how did you know that you really are time travelers? 328 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 2: Exclaimed Eric, sounding excited. That's when the four kids figured 329 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 2: out that Eric and Alexa were actually Levi and Ivy's parents, 330 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 2: just in kid form. I'm bugging out, said Eric, but 331 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 2: in a good way. This is amazing. 332 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: What does buggin' out mean? 333 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 2: Levi asked, as Alexa told him it was the nineties 334 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 2: way of saying you're panicking. But regardless of who was 335 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 2: bugging out, they all knew this was a once in 336 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 2: a lifetime experience and they couldn't stand around and let 337 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 2: it slip away. I mean, how many times did you 338 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 2: get to go time travel and hang out with your parents. 339 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: When they were your age. 340 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 2: Since we don't know how long we have together, we 341 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 2: better show you as much of the nineties as we can, 342 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 2: said Eric. I have some extra bikes at my house. 343 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 2: We can head over there and we can show you around. 344 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: Sound good. 345 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 2: Levi and Ivy nodded their heads, really excited for the 346 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 2: amazing adventure ahead. Alexa and Eric jumped on their bikes 347 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 2: and slowly rode along as Levi and Ivy walked beside them. 348 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: Hey, wait a minute, where are your bike helmets? Asked Ivy. 349 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 2: Bike what, replied Eric as he took a little bag 350 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 2: of cookies out of his pocket. 351 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: Would you guys like one? 352 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 2: Sure? 353 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: But I don't have any. 354 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 2: Hand sanitizer with me, replied LEVI. Do either of you 355 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 2: hand what? Asked Alexa. It sounds like you're speaking another language. 356 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 2: Just wipe your hands on your shorts and take a cookie. 357 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 2: I can't believe what I'm hearing, said Levi to Ivy 358 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 2: with a big smile. Once they reached Eric's house, he 359 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 2: grabbed two extra bikes from his garage and they were off, 360 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 2: But Levi and Ivy noticed some very interesting things. Eric 361 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 2: just quickly yelled to his parents that he was headed 362 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 2: out again for the afternoon and would be back later. 363 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 2: They shouted back a list of things like be careful 364 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 2: for cars when you're riding your bike, and something about 365 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 2: being home by the time the street lights came on. 366 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 2: That seemed kind of late, but Levi and Ivy just 367 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 2: went along with it. They followed Eric and Alexa no 368 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 2: bike helmets in sight, and rode to a little wooden 369 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 2: area next to the park where they worked on a 370 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 2: fort that Eric and Alex had been building for weeks. 371 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 2: It housed some of their most prized possession, like their 372 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 2: priceless beanie baby collection. Eric's ferby, Alexi's BoPET came a 373 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 2: pair of moon shoes and a bucket full of POGs. 374 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 2: This stuff is pretty cool, said Levi. A little different 375 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 2: than the video games, smartphones and tablets we have, but 376 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 2: still pretty cool. Wow, phones are smart in the future, 377 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 2: like robots that can do everything for you, asked Alexa. 378 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 2: Kind of, said Ivy. But kids still have to make 379 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 2: their beds and do homework. Aw Man, that stinks, said Eric. 380 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,640 Speaker 2: They continued to work on the fort and talk about 381 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 2: all kinds of things. Then everyone started to feel a 382 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 2: little bit hungry. Eric had grabbed a bag of popcorn 383 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,719 Speaker 2: when he ran inside his house earlier, and they all 384 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 2: enjoyed a snack as they explored the park. Their fun 385 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 2: kid adventure led them to some muddy puddles, which, of course, 386 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 2: they had to jump in first Eric, then Alexa. Come on, Levi, Ivy, 387 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 2: you're next, said Alexa. You mean you want us to 388 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 2: jump in these muddy puddles, asked Ivy, forgetting for a minute, 389 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,360 Speaker 2: who was talking to her? Of course, said Eric, splashing 390 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 2: mud everywhere. It's so much fun, so we don't have 391 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 2: to worry about getting our clothes dirty, asked Levi. No, 392 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 2: that's our parents problem, giggled Alexa. She hopped into a 393 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 2: big puddle with both feet. Levi and Ivy didn't ask 394 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 2: any more questions and jumped into the muddy puddles too. 395 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: They were having an amazing day. 396 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 2: As the afternoon went on, soft shades of red and 397 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 2: purple stretched across the sky, letting Levi and Ivy know 398 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 2: it was getting late. The sun began to set and 399 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 2: the street lights that lined the road to Eric's house 400 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 2: turned on one by one. That's our sign to head home, 401 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 2: said Eric. It was great getting to meet you both, 402 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 2: said Alexa, and I guess we'll see you again. This 403 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 2: day was totally radical, said Levi. Thank you for showing 404 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 2: us a bit of your childhood, added Ivy. Oh yeah, 405 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 2: before we go, Eric, I have some advice for you, 406 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 2: said Levi. If someday soon you and your best friend 407 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 2: are thinking of joining the circus and you want to 408 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 2: practice juggling eggs on your parents' new rug, don't do 409 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 2: it unless you don't mind cleaning up broken, gooey eggs 410 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 2: for the rest of the day. Levi laughed as Eric 411 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 2: gave him a thumbs up. I wonder how he knew 412 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 2: I wanted to join the circus one day, said Eric 413 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 2: to Alexa. And as they were saying there goodbye is 414 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,880 Speaker 2: the street lights that Levi and Ivy were standing under 415 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 2: began to glow in a bright neon color. Levi and 416 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 2: Ivy knew right then that it was time to go home. 417 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 2: They waved goodbye one final time to the kid versions 418 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 2: of their parents, and before they knew it, they were 419 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,120 Speaker 2: back in their playroom. The game board sitting in front 420 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 2: of them was still on, but it quickly buzzed one 421 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 2: last time and turned off. They sat stunned for a 422 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 2: minute or two, not believing what had just happened. Then 423 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 2: they hurried to put the game board back in its box, 424 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 2: return it to the playroom closet. We need to go 425 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 2: see mom and dad, Levi and Ivy said together as 426 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 2: they ran to the kitchen. Oh, good timing, We're ready 427 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 2: to eat dinner, said their mom as she set out 428 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 2: some plates. Just make sure you go and wash your hands. 429 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 2: Levi and Ivy giggled, thinking of their mom eating cookies 430 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 2: and popcorn that day without using so much as a 431 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 2: drop of hand sanitizer. They hurried back to the table, 432 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 2: eager to talk to their parents about what it was 433 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 2: like when they were kids and see if it matched 434 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 2: up with what they saw that day. So, Mom and Dad, 435 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 2: did you guys ever make forts when you were younger, 436 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 2: asked Ivy, And as she asked the question, both she 437 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 2: and Levi could see a light in their parents' eyes, 438 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 2: a glimmer of nostalgia as they remembered all the good 439 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 2: times they had together when they were young, running through 440 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,439 Speaker 2: the day without a care in the world, knowing they 441 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 2: had a loving family to protect them, and seemingly endless 442 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 2: adventures around every turn. 443 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: That is a great question. 444 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 2: We loved building forts when we were younger, said Levin 445 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,199 Speaker 2: and Ivy's dad. I always kept mine stocked with my 446 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:07,719 Speaker 2: favorite toys like moonshoes, and pods, asked Ivy. Yeah, exactly, 447 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 2: answered their dad. How do you even know what those 448 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 2: things are? 449 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: Oh? 450 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 2: Well, one of our teachers was talking about him the 451 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 2: other day in school, said Levi, just telling us about 452 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 2: when she was a kid. Well, I know it will 453 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 2: surprise you to hear this, but when we were kids, 454 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 2: not as many people wore bike helmets, said Ivy. Levi's mom, 455 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 2: and no one carried around hand sanitizer, so I made 456 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 2: sure to go home and wash my hands before I 457 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 2: ate anything. Sure you did, mom, said Ivy, looking at 458 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 2: Levi with a smirk on her face. We totally believe you. Then, 459 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 2: from that moment on, Levi and Ivy's parents couldn't help 460 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 2: but fill in the rest of the dinner conversation with 461 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 2: stories of their childhood. They all laughed as they realized 462 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 2: in that moment that they understood each other better than 463 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 2: they thought. 464 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 1: As parents. 465 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 2: Now, Levi and Ivy's mom and dad had a different 466 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 2: role to play than when they were kids. Now their 467 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 2: job was to watch over Levi and Ivy and make 468 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 2: sure that they were always safe and protected. But they 469 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 2: knew there would be times that their kids would need 470 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 2: to make decisions on their own, and thankfully, they were 471 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 2: confident that Levi and Ivy would always make the right 472 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 2: choice because they taught them well, and Levi and Ivy 473 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 2: always knew that, no matter how many times their mom 474 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 2: reminded them to wear a bike helmet or their dad 475 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 2: asked them not to get too dirty, that they were 476 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 2: doing it because they loved them so much. But after 477 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 2: that dinner and all to talk about when they were 478 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 2: all kids, Levi and Ivy's mom and dad started to 479 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 2: let their kids make some decisions for themselves, allowing them 480 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 2: to gain experience and independence, but always being there to 481 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 2: hold their hand if they needed it. Thanks mom and Dad, 482 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 2: said Levi, This dinner and all your fun stories were 483 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 2: totally radical, shouted Levi and Ivy together as they thought 484 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 2: back on the amazing day they spent in nineteen ninety five. Hey, friends, 485 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 2: why don't you go and ask your mom and dad 486 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 2: about their favorite things that they got to do when 487 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 2: they were little. 488 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us today. 489 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 2: We hope you enjoyed the story and learned a little 490 00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 2: something too, And since we. 491 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: Know everyone has that's their own story, we'd love to 492 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 1: hear yours. 493 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 2: If you have an idea for a lively Lowis story, 494 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 2: leave a comment on our Apple podcast review page with 495 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 2: five stars, your idea, and your little one's name. 496 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,439 Speaker 3: Then maybe I next to thank you. 497 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 2: Will be with you until our next story time hangout, 498 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 2: Gan Frams 499 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 3: I mean, we can't wait to share another fun, lively 500 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 3: Lewis story with you.
