13
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: Lewis story.

14
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: Hey friends, this is part two of when mom and

15
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: Dad were kids. If you haven't listened to part one,

16
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: run over there and listen to that one before you

17
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: start this one. Hi replied Ivy. That's funny. Those are

18
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: our parents' names. I'm Ivy and this is my brother Levi.

19
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: And that slide stunt you just pulled could have ended

20
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: with you getting really hurt.

21
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 3: I'm thinking maybe.

22
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: You shouldn't try that again. Eric and Alexa just looked

23
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: at each other, totally shocked at what they were hearing.

24
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: Oh for sure, I definitely won't try that super fun

25
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: trick again, not, laughed Eric as he high fived Alexa.

26
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: Don't be so overprotective. We're just having some fun, added Alexa.

27
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: Ivy and Levi couldn't put their finger on it, but

28
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: they felt like they knew these two kids, but given

29
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: what they had just been through, they didn't think so

30
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: much about it at that point. They were a little

31
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: more concerned with the fact that they had just been

32
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: transported to an alternate reality through an old board game from.

33
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 3: The nineteen nineties.

34
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: Hi, I know this is going to sound weird, but

35
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: can you tell us where we are?

36
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 3: Ask Levi.

37
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: That is a weird question. Shouldn't you know where you are?

38
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: I mean you got here by yourselves, right? Where were

39
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: you going? Asked Alexa. That's just it, answered Ivy as

40
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: she went on to tell the two kids what had

41
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: just happened to.

42
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 3: Her and LEVI.

43
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: Wow, that sounds totally radical, exclaimed Eric. I wish something

44
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: cool like that would happen to us. Totally radical, said Ivy,

45
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: sounding kind of confused. Don't you mean super, Eric, No,

46
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: I mean it's radical, you know, awesome, great, fantastic, said Alexa.

47
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: It's just funny because We've only ever heard our parents say.

48
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: Totally radical before.

49
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: So Levi, you know it's because they were kids in

50
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: the nineties. Yeah, just like all of us, said Eric.

51
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: Sandy more than a little confused. What do you mean,

52
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: just like all of us, asked Ivy. It's not twenty

53
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: twenty four. I guess it could be if you were

54
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: some kind of time traveler, answered Alexa. But here it's

55
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: just good old nineteen ninety five. Levi and Ivy could

56
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: have not been more shocked at what they were just

57
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: told the game they found was magic and that game

58
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: had sent them back in time. I guess this all

59
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: makes since the name of the game is totally tubular

60
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: time travelers, said Ivy as she sat down on a

61
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: nearby swing to think about how she and Levi were

62
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: going to get back home. Levi, on the other hand,

63
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: thought Eric and Alexa were super fun and was ready

64
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: to play regardless of the year. LEVI, come on, what

65
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: are you doing, asked Ivy. We kind of have a

66
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: big problem on our hands. Well, you know what we

67
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: say when we're having a problem with something, asked Alexa.

68
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: We say, talk to the hand. It's kind of like

69
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: what you would say when you don't want to hear

70
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: what's being said. That's so funny, Levi. Mom just said

71
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: that to me the other day when I kept asking

72
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: her to buy me some ice cream on the way

73
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: home from soccer practice, said iv as she took a

74
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: closer look at Alexa and suddenly realized where she knew

75
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: her from.

76
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: Alexa, did you get that little scar.

77
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: On your chin when you fell in your driveway running

78
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: on ice on Christmas Day?

79
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 3: Asked Ivy.

80
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: Levi I heard his sister's question and walked over to

81
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: get a look at the scar.

82
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 3: Once he saw it, he was shocked.

83
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, how did you know that?

84
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 3: Asked Alexa.

85
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: I had gotten a new sled for Christmas, and I

86
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: slept when I ran outside to go sledding. Ivy looked

87
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: at Levi, and Levi looked at Eric.

88
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 3: Eric.

89
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: Do you buy chance play on a baseball team called

90
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: the Silver Sluggers?

91
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 3: Asked Levi, already knowing the answer.

92
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: Wow, how did you know that you really are time travelers?

93
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: Exclaimed Eric, sounding excited. That's when the four kids figured

94
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: out that Eric and Alexa were actually Levi and Ivy's parents.

95
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: Just in kid form, I'm bugging out, said Eric, but

96
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: in a good way.

97
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 3: This is amazing.

98
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: What does buggin' out mean, Levi asked, as Alexa told

99
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: him it was the nineties way of saying you're panicking.

100
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: But regardless of who was bugging out, they all knew

101
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: this was a once in a lifetime experience and they

102
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: couldn't stand around and let it slip away. I mean,

103
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: how many times did you get to go time travel

104
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: and hang out with your parents.

105
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 3: When they were your age.

106
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: Since we don't know how long we have together, we

107
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: better show you as much of the nineties as we can,

108
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: said Eric, I have some extra bikes at my house.

109
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: We can head over there and we can show you around.

110
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 3: Sound good?

111
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy nodded their heads, really excited for the

112
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: amazing adventure ahead. Alexa and Eric jumped on their bikes

113
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: and slowly rode along as Levi and Ivy walked beside them.

114
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 3: Hey, wait a minute, where are your bike helmets? Asked Ivy?

115
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: Bike what, replied Eric as he took a little bag

116
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: of cookies out of his pocket.

117
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 3: Would you guys like one? Sure?

118
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: But I don't have any hand sanitizer with me, replied LEVI.

119
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: Do either of you hand what?

120
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 3: Asked Alexa?

121
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: It sounds like you're speaking another language. Just wipe your

122
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: hands on your shorts and take a cookie. I can't

123
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: believe what I'm hearing, said Levi to Ivy with a

124
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: big smile. Once they reached Eric's house, he grabbed two

125
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: extra bikes from his garage and they were off, but

126
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy noticed some.

127
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 3: Very interesting things.

128
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: Eric just quickly yelled to his parents that he was

129
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: headed out again for the afternoon and would be back later.

130
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: They shouted back a list of things like be careful,

131
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: watch for cars when you're riding your bike, and something

132
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: about being home by the time the street lights came on.

133
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: That seemed kind of late, but Levi and Ivy just

134
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 1: went along with it. They followed Eric and Alexa no

135
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: bike helmets inside, and rode to a little wooden area

136
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: next to the park where they worked on a fort

137
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: that Eric and alex had been building for weeks. It

138
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: housed some of their most prized possession, like their priceless

139
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: beanie baby collection. Eric's ferby Alexis Bope came a pair

140
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: of moon shoes and a bucket full of POGs. This

141
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: stuff is pretty cool, said Levi. A little different than

142
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: the video games, smartphones and tablets we have, but still

143
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: pretty cool. Wow, phones are smart in the future, like

144
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: robots that can do everything for you, asked Alexa. Kind of,

145
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: said Ivy. But kids still have to make their beds

146
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,239
Speaker 1: and do homework. Aw man, that' stinks.

147
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 3: Said Eric.

148
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: They continued to work on the fort and talk about

149
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: all kinds of things. Then everyone started to feel a

150
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: little but hungry. Eric had grabbed a bag of popcorn

151
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: when he ran inside his house earlier, and they all

152
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: enjoyed a snack as they explored the park. Their fun

153
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: kid adventure led them to some muddy puddles, which, of

154
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: course they had to jump in first Eric, then Alexa.

155
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: Come on, Levi, Ivy, you're next, said Alexa. You mean

156
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: you want us to jump in these muddy puddles, asked Ivy.

157
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: Forgetting for a minute, who was talking to her? Of course,

158
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: said Eric, splashing mud everywhere. It's so much fun, so

159
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: we don't have to worry about getting our clothes dirty,

160
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: asked Levi. No, that's our parents problem, giggled Alexa. She

161
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: hopped into a big puddle with both feet. Levi and

162
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: Ivy didn't ask any more questions and jumped into the

163
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: muddy puddles too.

164
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 3: They were having an amazing day.

165
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: As the afternoon went on, soft shades of red and

166
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: purple stretched across the sky, letting Levi and Ivy know

167
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: it was getting late. The sun began to set, and

168
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: the street lights that lined the road to Eric's house

169
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: turned on one by one. That's our sign to head home,

170
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: said Eric. It was great getting to meet you both,

171
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: said Alexa, and I guess we'll see you again. This

172
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:10,119
Speaker 1: day was totally radical, said Levi. Thank you for showing

173
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: us a bit of your childhood, added Ivy. Oh yeah,

174
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: before we go, Eric, I have some advice for you,

175
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: said Levi. If someday soon you and your best friend

176
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: are thinking of joining the circus and you want to

177
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: practice juggling eggs on your parents' new rug, don't do

178
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: it unless you don't mind cleaning up broken, gooey eggs

179
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: for the rest of the day. Levi laughed as Eric

180
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: gave him a thumbs up. I wonder how he knew

181
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: I wanted to join the circus one day, said Eric

182
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: to Alexa. And as they were saying there goodbye is

183
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: the street lights that Levi and Ivy were standing under

184
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: began to glow in a bright neon color. Levi and

185
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: Ivy knew right then that it was time to go home.

186
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: They waved goodbye one final time to the kid versions

187
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: of their parents, and before they knew it, they were

188
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: back in their playroom. The game board sitting in front

189
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: of them was still on, but it quickly buzzed one

190
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: last time and turned off. They sat stunned for a

191
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: minute or two, not believing what had just happened. Then

192
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: they hurried to put the game board back in its box,

193
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: return it to the playroom closet. We need to go

194
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: see mom and dad, Levi and Ivy said together as

195
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: they ran to the kitchen.

196
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 3: Oh, good timing.

197
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: We're ready to eat dinner, said their mom as she

198
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: set out some plates. Just make sure you go and

199
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: wash your hands. Levi and Ivy giggled, thinking of their

200
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: mom eating cookies and popcorn that day without using so

201
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: much as a drop of hand sanitizer. They hurried back

202
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: to the table, eager to talk to their parents about

203
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: what it was like when they were kids and see

204
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: if it matched up with what they saw that day. So,

205
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: Mom and Dad, did you guys ever make forts when

206
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: you were younger, asked Ivy, and as she asked the question,

207
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: both she and Levi could see a light in their parents' eyes,

208
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: a glimmer of nostalgia as they remembered all the good

209
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: times they had together when they were young, running through

210
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: the day without a care in the world, knowing they

211
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: had a loving family to protect them, and seemingly endless

212
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 1: adventures around every turn.

213
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 3: That is a great question. We love building forts.

214
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: When we were younger, said Levi and Ivy's dad, I

215
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 1: always kept mind stocked with my favorite toys like moonshoes, and.

216
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 3: Pods, asked Ivy.

217
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, answered their dad. How do you even know

218
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: what those things are?

219
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 3: Oh?

220
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: Well, one of our teachers was talking about him the

221
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: other day in school, said Levi, just telling us about

222
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: when she was a kid. Well, I know it will

223
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: surprise you to hear this, but when we were kids,

224
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: not as many people wore bike helmets, said Ivy Levi's mom,

225
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: and no one carried around hand sanitizer, so I made

226
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: sure to go home and wash my hands before I

227
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: ate anything. Sure you did, mom, said Ivy, looking at

228
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: Levi with a smirk on her face.

229
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 3: We totally believe you.

230
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: Then, from that moment on Levi and Ivy's parents couldn't

231
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: help but fill in the rest of the dinner conversation

232
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: with stories of their childhood. They all laughed as they

233
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 1: realized in that moment that they understood each other better

234
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: than they thought. As parents, now, Levi and Ivy's mom

235
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: and dad had a different role to play than when

236
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: they were kids. Now their job was to watch over

237
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy and make sure that they were always

238
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: safe and protected. But they knew there would be times

239
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: that their kids would need to make decisions on their own,

240
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: and thankfully, they were confident that Levi and Ivy would

241
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: always make the right choice because they taught them well,

242
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: and Levi and Ivy always knew that, no matter how

243
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: many times their mom reminded them to wear a bike

244
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: helmet or their dad asked them not to get too dirty,

245
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: that they were doing it because they loved them so much.

246
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: But after that dinner and all to talk about when

247
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: they were all kids, Levi and Ivy's mom and dad

248
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: started to let their kids make some decisions for themselves,

249
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: allowing them to gain experience and independence, but always being

250
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: there to hold their hand if they needed it. Thanks,

251
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: Mom and Dad, said Levi, this dinner and all your

252
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: fun stories were totally radical, shouted Levi and Ivy together

253
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 1: as they thought back on the amazing day they spent

254
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety five. Hey, friends, why don't you go

255
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: and ask your mom and dad about their favorite things

256
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: that they got to do when they were little. Thanks

257
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: for joining us today. We hope you enjoyed the story

258
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: and learned a little something too.

Speaker 2: And since we know everyone has their own story, we'd

00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 2: you until our next story time hangout Gan Frams the name.

266
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 2: We can't wait to share another fun, Lively Lewis story
