13
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 3: Enough about that, let's get too Today's super Live Way

14
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,919
Speaker 3: Lewis story.

15
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 2: Rain fell lightly on the windowpane just outside Levi and

16
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 2: Ivy's living room. A passing storm had forced them to

17
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: play inside that afternoon. Their mom told them that if

18
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 2: they played together using their imaginations, then they could use

19
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 2: their iPads or watch TV for a little bit. I

20
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: just don't want them to be on screens all day,

21
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: said Levin Ivy's mom to their dad. They both have

22
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: such great imaginations. When they put their mind to creating something,

23
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: it's always amazing. But lately all they want to do

24
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 2: is play video games or watch TV. I understand, said

25
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,919
Speaker 2: Levin Ivy's dad. Well, they seem to be playing together

26
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 2: well right now. That's just because I said if they did,

27
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 2: they could watch TV or play on their iPads for

28
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: a bit since it's raining outside, said their mom with

29
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 2: a sigh. But I'm trying to stay positive. Maybe they

30
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: won't even ask for a screen today. Maybe they'll create

31
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: some new games and be happy playing together all day.

32
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 2: I wouldn't bet on it, but I'm sure they're enjoying

33
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 2: playing together right now, said Levi and Ivy's dad with

34
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 2: a smirk as he walked out of the room. Meanwhile,

35
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: Levi and Ivy were playing a game together that they

36
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: both enjoyed very much. Unfortunately, it was a game that

37
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 2: was much better played outside soccer. Their mom had told

38
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: them many many times not to play soccer in the house,

39
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 2: and for good reason.

40
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: She didn't want anything to get broken.

41
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: Levi, if I make this goal, then you have to

42
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: let me pick the TV show we watch after we're

43
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: done playing, said Ivy as she dribbled a foam soccer

44
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: ball back and forth in front of Levi. And if

45
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 2: I block it, then I get to the show, said

46
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: Levi confidently as he stood in front of the soccer

47
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: goal they created next to the couch, which also happened

48
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 2: to be right next to a small side table on

49
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: which sat Levi and Ivy's mom's favorite vase. It was

50
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: a gift that their dad had given to her for

51
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: their last wedding anniversary, and she really loved it. Ivy

52
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: moved closer to Levi, dribbling the foam soccer ball cautiously.

53
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: Levi waited patiently for her next move, ready to block

54
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 2: her kick and decide which show they would watch. Then,

55
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 2: in a split second, Ivy made contact with the ball,

56
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 2: sending it flying through the air right towards her mom's

57
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: favorite Why do you think that ball was going right

58
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 2: towards friends? That's right, her mom's favorite vase. However, she

59
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 2: didn't notice where it was headed at the moment. She

60
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: only saw herself making the goal and watching her favorite

61
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: TV show. Levi couldn't let that happen, so as soon

62
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: as Ivy kicked the ball, he dove towards it, also

63
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: not seeing his mom's favorite vase sitting in his path.

64
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 2: But that would soon change, because once Ivy could sit

65
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: back and admire her shot on goal, she saw the

66
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: vase yavi I no called out Ivy, thinking she was

67
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: just trying to throw him off his game and make

68
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 2: him miss the ball. Levi paid no attention to her.

69
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 2: He committed one hundred percent to his dive, which unfortunately

70
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 2: led him right into the side table and his mom's

71
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: favorite vase. At that moment, everything seemed to move in

72
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: slow motion as Leevi realized what was happening and started

73
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: to reach wildly for the vase, trying to catch before

74
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: hit the ground. Ivy did the same thing, but they

75
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 2: were both just a moment too late. The vase hit

76
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 2: the ground, breaking into four pieces. Levi and Ivy just

77
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: stood there, staring at each other, waiting for their parents

78
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: to come in and see what the noise was. The

79
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: foam soccer ball rolled out of you and wedged itself

80
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 2: under one of the chairs in the living room. We

81
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: can't tell them we were playing soccer in the house,

82
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 2: whispered Levi. Well get in trouble, I know, agreed Ivy.

83
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: Maybe we can bend the truth a little bit. Okay,

84
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 2: let's do it, whispered Levi, trying to think fast. They

85
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: each knew the decision they were making one the wrong one,

86
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 2: but everything was happening so quickly they just went with it. Hey, friends,

87
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: do you ever find yourself making the wrong decision? I

88
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: know I definitely have. Let's see what Levi and Ivy

89
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: do next.

90
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: What was that noise? Asked their mom as she ran

91
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: into the room and suddenly froze my vase? Oh, what

92
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: happened to my vase?

93
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 2: Their dad was right behind her and looked just as

94
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 2: surprised Levi Ivy. What happened here?

95
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: Asked their dad.

96
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 2: Not wanting to get in trouble for playing soccer in

97
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: the house, Levi and Ivy stuck to their plan, and

98
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: Levi quickly said it.

99
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,119
Speaker 1: Was a total accident. We're so sorry.

100
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 2: You see, Ivy and I were playing Space Explorers and

101
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 2: she was walking across the couch like it was a

102
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 2: new planet we had just discovered, yep, and I was

103
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 2: balancing along and I sneezed. I lost my balance and

104
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 2: tumbled to the side table, Ivey continued, and your.

105
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: Vise fell on the floor. Mom. We're really sorry, Yeah, Mom,

106
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: really really sorry, added Levi.

107
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 2: While it was true Levi and Ivy were really trying,

108
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: line only makes things worse, but at that moment, they

109
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 2: valued their TV time and iPads a little more than

110
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: keeping their parents trust. As they stood there, they thought

111
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: maybe their little lie had worked, But sooner or later,

112
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: the truth always comes out. However, sooner happened quicker than

113
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 2: they expected. Well, I'm just glad you guys are both okay,

114
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: said Levi and Ivy's mom with a sigh as she

115
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: picked up the pieces of the vase.

116
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: I think I may be able to fix this.

117
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 2: I just have one question, said their dad, sounding up

118
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: like a bit like a detective. If Ivy's sneeze caused

119
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: her to fall off the couch, then why didn't I

120
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 2: hear it? Levi and Ivy's eyes got wide. They knew

121
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 2: at that moment they should have not lied to their parents.

122
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 2: The feeling made their tummies feel icky, and all they

123
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 2: wanted to do was tell the truth. Their dad continued

124
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 2: his questioning as they just stood there. I mean I

125
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 2: was right out in the hallway. I think I would

126
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 2: have heard ivy sneeze, he said, looking around the room.

127
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: And yet I don't remember hearing a thing before the

128
00:05:58,960 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: vase fell.

129
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 2: As he waited for a response from Levi and Ivy,

130
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 2: he walked toward the chair that the foam soccer ball.

131
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: Was sitting under.

132
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 2: In fact, I'm a little disappointed, and I think that

133
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 2: maybe you're both not telling us the truth.

134
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: Their dad went on.

135
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 2: Is that true, kids, asked Levi and Ivy's mom, and

136
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: as she said that, Levi and Ivy spun around to

137
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 2: see their dad holding the foam soccer ball that he

138
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 2: had just picked up from under the chair. Their hearts

139
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 2: were beating fast, their faces were bright red, and they

140
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 2: felt terrible with the decision they made. It didn't take

141
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: long for both of them to admit what they had

142
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 2: done and finally tell the truth. We're sorry, Mom and dad,

143
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 2: Levi began. We were playing soccer in the house, even

144
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: though you told us not to. I was trying to

145
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: score a goal when Levi went to block it. He

146
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: bumped into the side table and your vase fell to.

147
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: The ground, continued Ivy. And we lied about it so

148
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: we wouldn't get in trouble. But we know we shouldn't

149
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: have done that, said Levi, his eyes starting to fill

150
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: with tears. We're so sorry for not telling the truth, mom.

151
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 2: And dad, Ivy said, before putting her face in her hands.

152
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 2: Levi and Ivy's mom took a minute to understand what

153
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 2: was going on. Her kids have never lied to her before.

154
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 2: Thank you for telling us the truth finally, But I'm

155
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 2: surprised you didn't tell us from the beginning, said their mom,

156
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: standing disappointed. Accidents happen, but when you lie about them,

157
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: you make it so much worse. I need to talk

158
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: to your dad. Just wait here. Levi and Ivy's parents

159
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 2: walked out of the room, holding the pieces of the

160
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 2: broken vase and went to talk in the kitchen.

161
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: They came back a few minutes later.

162
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 2: Levi and Ivy sat silently on the couch, waiting to

163
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: hear what they were going to say. We've decided, since

164
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 2: you lied to us, we'll be taking away your iPad

165
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: and TV privileges for a week, said their mom. Levi

166
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 2: and Ivy's jaws dropped. They knew there were always consequences

167
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 2: for making the wrong decision, but at that moment they

168
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 2: couldn't imagine a whole week with no screens. We hope

169
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: you learn your lesson and never lie to us again,

170
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: said Levi and Ivy's dad, sitting down with his kids

171
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 2: on the couch. We love you both very much and

172
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 2: need you to know that lying is never the right choice.

173
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 2: It makes it hard for your mom and I to

174
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 2: trust you, and we don't like that feeling. Next time

175
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 2: you make a mistake, tell the truth and try to

176
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 2: make the situation better. Okay, okay, dad, said, Levi and

177
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: Ivy together, Now go play outside. It looks like the

178
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 2: rain is stocked, said their mom, giving Levi and Ivy

179
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 2: a hug. We hope this is the last time we

180
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: have to talk to either of you about lying. Levi

181
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: and Ivy hugged their mom and dad. Still feeling bad

182
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: for what they had done, they walked outside and tried

183
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 2: to figure out what they could possibly do for a

184
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 2: whole week with no iPads or TV. Then, as they

185
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: were rummaging through piles of old sports equipment, kits and

186
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 2: old toys in the garage, they saw the giant refrigerator

187
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 2: box that their parents had thrown away in there after

188
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 2: they remodeled the kitchen last month.

189
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: Wow, I've never realized.

190
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 2: How big that box was until right now, said Ivy,

191
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 2: walking over to it. We could make this into something

192
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 2: really cool, I bet. Levi left behind the bag of

193
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 2: summer beach toys and walked over to join Ivy.

194
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 1: Wow, it's like triple my size.

195
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 2: Said Leevi, measuring himself against the giant cardboard box. I

196
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 2: bet it would make a pretty cool space ship. But

197
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 2: as he was saying that, Ivy was saying how she

198
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 2: thought the refrigerator box had potential to be an amazing castle.

199
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 2: So it looks like we have two totally different ideas

200
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 2: of what to do here, said Levi. Soundy disappointed, not necessarily,

201
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 2: answered Ivy. We may not want to change this giant

202
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 2: box into the same thing, but we both want to

203
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: use our imaginations to make it into something amazing. Levi

204
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: just gave her a knowing smile, and they set off

205
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: to work. Ready for our next adventure, asked Ivy. Totally ready,

206
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: smiled Levi. The two of them gathered together all the

207
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 2: supplies they would need, markers, paint, stickers, sheets, scissors. They

208
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 2: worked on their great creation for the rest of the

209
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 2: afternoon and for much of the next morning. Their parents

210
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 2: were excited that they were embracing their time without screens,

211
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 2: but still a little bit sad regarding what had led

212
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 2: to it. After lunch on the second day of transforming

213
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 2: the refrigerator box, Levi and Ivy added a few final

214
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 2: touches and called their amazing creation done.

215
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: I present to you.

216
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 2: Said Levin in an announce her voice, the Lewis Family Spaceship,

217
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 2: and I present to you, Ivy announced quickly after the.

218
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: Lewis Family Castle.

219
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 2: And as they stepped back and looked at what they

220
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 2: had created together, they could not have been prouder. They

221
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 2: worked for almost two days, free from distractions of screens

222
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 2: and created something amazing, not just a spaceship and not

223
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 2: just a castle, but rather the Lewis Family Spaceship Castle.

224
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 2: The one common component was both the spaceship and the

225
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 2: castle were created with exploration, discovery, and fun in mind,

226
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 2: and it didn't take long for Levi and Ivy to

227
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 2: test that out.

228
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 1: Royal missing control. This is Captain Levi. Are we ready

229
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: to launch?

230
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 2: Asked Levi while sitting on an overturned bucket inside the

231
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 2: spaceship portion of their creation. Why yes, sir, you are,

232
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 2: answered Ivy with a royal flare from the castle tower

233
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 2: set to launch thrusters and five four three two one

234
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 2: blessed off, shotted Levi's He shook the cardboard spaceship castle

235
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 2: to make it seem like it was taking off a

236
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: wonderful show of innovation and creativity. My good Sir, said

237
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 2: iv as she sipped to pretend cup of tea and

238
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 2: admired I hear at the vast landscape of stars that

239
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 2: she imagined just outside the spaceship castle window. Levi and

240
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 2: Ivy played in the Lewis Family Spaceship Castle for hours

241
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 2: that day, and when they weren't playing in their cool creation,

242
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 2: they were talking about it, suggesting modifications that they could

243
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: do to make it better, or discussing their next royal

244
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 2: space adventure. They were so proud of what they had

245
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 2: created that they talked about it with their mom and

246
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 2: dad and their friends. Wow, that sounds really cool, said

247
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 2: one of Levi's friends. Yeah, do you think the Lewis

248
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 2: Family Spaceship Castle has room for a few more adventurers,

249
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 2: as one of Ivy's friends.

250
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: Absolutely replied Levi and Ivy.

251
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 2: The more the merrier, and before they knew it, all

252
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 2: their friends were headed over to play.

253
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: For the rest of the week.

254
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: Their friends dragged cardboard boxes of all shapes and sizes

255
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 2: over to their house, where they created an entire Royal

256
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 2: space village in their backyard. They shared unforgettable adventures together

257
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 2: and never thought about the TV shows they were missing

258
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 2: or the iPad games they could be playing. As the

259
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 2: week went on, Levi and Ivy's parents watched them and smiled,

260
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 2: so happy they were now to the bad situation of

261
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 2: fibbing about breaking the vase and using it to discover

262
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 2: a whole new level of imaginative play that they really enjoyed.

263
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 2: This new attitude of not watching screens spilled over to

264
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 2: Levi and Ivy's parents as well as the week went on.

265
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 2: On the final night of no screens, the Lewis family

266
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 2: was outside looking at the stars when Ivy said, Mom

267
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 2: and Dad, Levi and I want to apologize again for

268
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 2: breaking your vase and not telling you the truth at first.

269
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 2: We will never lie to you again. We also wanted

270
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 2: to thank you for this past week. Yeah, Levi chimed in,

271
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 2: pointing to their royal space village not watching screens. Let

272
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 2: us create all of this, and it's been a really

273
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 2: fun week. And there's one other thing that we created,

274
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 2: said Ivy, grabbing a piece of paper from inside the house.

275
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 2: It was a drawing of their mom's vase that she

276
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: and Levi had worked on together. I love it, said

277
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 2: Levin Ivy's mom. Thank you. Then, as they sat under

278
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 2: the stars, Levi and Ivy went on to tell their

279
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 2: parents about all the great adventures they had together with

280
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 2: their friends that week, meeting space pirates, making friends with dragons,

281
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 2: and hosting enchanted royal space banquets with alien kings and queens.

282
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 2: I'm so happy to hear that you learned your lesson

283
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 2: about lying, and we'll never do it again, began their mom.

284
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 2: But I'm even happier that you found your creative spark.

285
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 2: You can make amazing things together when you just take

286
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 2: the time to use your imagination. You're right, mom, the

287
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 2: adventures we had this week were greater than any TV

288
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 2: show we could have watched, her video game we could

289
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 2: have played. Are you excited to get your screen bags tomorrow?

290
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 2: Asked Levi and Ivy's dad. Maybe, but we have a

291
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 2: few important things to do on Jupiter first before we

292
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 2: can go do anything else, said Levi with a laugh.

293
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: That's right.

294
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 2: We're hosting a royal Space party at the castle and

295
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 2: you two are invited if you can make it, added Ivy.

296
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 2: We'd love to show you all around the Royal Space village.

297
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 2: That sounds great to me, smiled their mom. Count us In,

298
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 2: added their dad. Eventually, Levi and Ivy's mom glued her

299
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 2: broken vase back together and once again displayed it in

300
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 2: the living room along with the picture Levi and Ivy

301
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 2: had drawn for her. The vase acted as a constant

302
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 2: reminder to always tell the truth to create marvelous things,

303
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: and that the average, like an older refrigerator box, can

304
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 2: become extraordinary with just a little imagination. Thanks for joining

305
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 2: us today. We hope you enjoyed the story and learned

306
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 2: a little something too. And since we know everyone has

307
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 2: their own story, we'd love to hear yours. If you

00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 2: have an idea for a Lively Lowis story, leave a

309
