24
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: This is a story about a girl named Casey and

25
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: her brother Carr. They are very busy kids and this Saturday,

26
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: they are going to visit their grandmother after their practices

27
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: are over. When they finish their lunch, their mother tells

28
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: them that their grandmother sent over some clothes for them

29
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: and she has laid them out on their beds. Casey

30
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: and Carl's mother thinks it would be nice if they

31
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: wore the clothes their grandmother sent them over to her house.

32
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: When they go to visit, the kids have another idea.

33
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: Casey does not like pink. Casey and her brother Carl

34
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: were sitting at the table trying very very hard to

35
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: eat breakfast. Today was Saturday and it was their father's

36
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: turn to make breakfast. He just had to make scrambled

37
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: eggs with cheese. Casey could not stand scrambled eggs. She

38
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: would use the word hate if no one was listening.

39
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: Her mother didn't like to hear that word, and she

40
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: was told to remove it from her vocabulary, which she

41
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: would if her father would stop making scrambled eggs. She

42
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: moved the eggs around on her plate, hoping that by

43
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: moving them from one side to the other, they might

44
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: magically disappear. It hadn't worked yet. Maybe we should get

45
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: a dog, she thought, Then I could secretly drop the

46
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: egg under the table. Dogs will eat anything. Hey, Carl,

47
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: you look like you could use more eggs. Want mine,

48
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: she asked. Carl replied with a mouthful of eggs. No,

49
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: thank you, I'm good, Carl. Don't talk with food in

50
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: your mouth. It's disgusting. Casey, hurry up and finish your breakfast.

51
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,119
Speaker 1: We have to get going or you both will be late.

52
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: Their blurry eyed father said as he walked by the

53
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: table to grab another cup of coffee. We leave in

54
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes. Just do what I do, Carl said, as

55
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: he demonstrated plugging his nose with his fingers, stuffing his

56
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: mouth full of eggs, and washing it all down with

57
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: his cup of milk works for me, he said, yeah,

58
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: but ever since you got serious about swimming, you eat

59
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: anything and everything. What eggs, Carl replied. Saturday mornings were

60
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: for practice. Carl had to go to swimming practice, and

61
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: Casey had a CrossFit class. She used to be part

62
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: of the local gymnastics team, but she stopped going this

63
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: year because she got injured. After practice, it was time

64
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: for lunch, Casey's mom was preparing something so that thankfully

65
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: meant no eggs. Casey thought that her mom secretly didn't

66
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: like scrambled eggs either, but just humored her father. She

67
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: couldn't possibly like eggs. How was practice you two, her

68
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: father asked as he came in the kitchen door after

69
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: working outside all morning. Saturday mornings for him were about

70
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: doing things outside or attending our competitions, where he could

71
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: be heard sharing his egg recipes. He just doesn't give up,

72
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,679
Speaker 1: Casey thought, whenever she saw him talking to the other parents,

73
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: I think the coach was in a bad mood today,

74
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: Carl said, why do you say that. Their mother asked,

75
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: he worked us too hard, and now my shoulders feel

76
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: like they are on fire. It's fun to work hard,

77
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: their father said, if you say so, I all replied, unconvinced.

78
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: We had a good workout today, but it's made me

79
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: super hungry, and I think I could eat a whole

80
00:06:54,800 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: pizza all by myself, Casey said, with a side order

81
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: of French fries and maybe some chicken nuggets. Carl laughed,

82
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: I'm glad you both are so hungry, because I heat

83
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: it up some leftover chicken soup for you to eat.

84
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: There are some fresh rolls, and I have some fruit

85
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: for you for dessert. Their mother said, chicken soup. Oh no,

86
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: Carl cried, I think my shoulders are too sore to

87
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: lift up a spoon. Do we have to have chicken

88
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: soup again? Casey asked. We have had it at least

89
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: ten times so far this month, about once a month.

90
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: Her mother said, eat it up. It's good for you

91
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: and will help both of you grow up big and strong.

92
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: You won't get big mussels, Casey, by eating fries and

93
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: nuggets alone. Your grandma Nitty called while you two were

94
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: out at practice. She wants you to come over to

95
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: her place for a visit after lunch and stay for dinner.

96
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: Then your mother and I can go out to dinner tonight.

97
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: Their father said, Ooh, sounds like a date. So romantic,

98
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: Carl jokingly replied. Also, I forgot to give you some

99
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: clothes she sent over a couple weeks ago. I put

100
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: them in your rooms, and it would be nice if

101
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: you wore them when you go to visit her today. Okay,

102
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: I'll go and get dressed, Casey said. Casey walked into

103
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: her bedroom and saw laid out across her bed a

104
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: pair of pink colored socks, pink pants, and a white

105
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: shirt with pink flowers on them. No way, she said

106
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: out loud. I will not wear pink. I dislike pink. Mom,

107
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: she called, can you come to my room please? What's wrong, Casey?

108
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: She said, as she came into her bedroom. What's wrong?

109
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: Look at these clothes. They are all pink. You know

110
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: I don't wear pink, Casey said. Casey. It's just for

111
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: one day. Just wear them for one day. It makes

112
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: her happy if you two wear the clothes she buys

113
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: for you. I don't care what colors you wear. How

114
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: you express yourself is up to you. I'm even wearing

115
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: one of your hoodies because it's comfortable. I think that

116
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 1: purple hoodie is one of carals. The pants are obviously

117
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: too small anyways, and my legs have grown mussels. Well,

118
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: just wear the shirt and socks then, Mom, why can't

119
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: you cooperate? Her mother said as she walked out of

120
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: the room. Frustrated, girls don't wear pink, Casey muttered to herself.

121
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: She loved her grandma, but she seemed so old fashioned sometimes.

122
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: Then she had an idea. Hey, Carl, why don't you

123
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: come to my room for a minute. What's up case?

124
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: What clothes did grandma give you to wear? Baggy blue

125
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: sports clothes that don't fit right? Would you like to

126
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: switch with me? Ha ha, he laughed. Sure, I'll wear

127
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: your pink socks and that T shirt? What evs? Casey

128
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: and Carl arrived at their grandma Nitty's place a short

129
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: time later. They walked together up the front steps as

130
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: their Grandma Nitty opened the door and waved to their

131
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: parents as they drove away in their car. Come on in, kids,

132
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 1: it's been ages since I've had you all to myself.

133
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: You two are way too busy with school and activities,

134
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: so let me have a look at you both. Well,

135
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: what do we have here? Their grandma Nitty said, looking

136
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: at them wearing the clothes she bought them. Carl was

137
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: wearing pink socks and a pink flowered T shirt, while

138
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: Casey was wearing baggy dark blues. Did your clothes get

139
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: mixed up in the wash? She said, laughing, Well, Grandma,

140
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: I thought it would be funny, I know her. Grandma

141
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:46,719
Speaker 1: Nitty interrupted. You think your old grandma is old fashioned

142
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: and has an outdated taste in clothes. Well, you are

143
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: half right. I do like pink, and Carl, I think

144
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: it looks great on you. I love buying clothes for

145
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: you too, and it's hard to keep up with the

146
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: latest fashion these days, as you can see by what

147
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: I'm wearing. I gave up a long time ago, she said,

148
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: with a laugh, and the stores I shop at don't help.

149
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: The selection is so terrible. Sorry, Grandma. I mostly wear dark,

150
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: baggy clothes these days. It's comfortable and I can wear

151
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: my workout clothes underneath if I am in a rush.

152
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: I haven't worn pink since I was in elementary school,

153
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: and even then I think I preferred other colors. You

154
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: can buy me pink clothes, Grandma, Carl said, I don't mind.

155
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: I bet you too. Didn't know that blue was originally

156
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,719
Speaker 1: the color for girls. How that was a long time ago.

157
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: It's kind of silly. I think. How about we go

158
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: to that new clothing store and we can get some

159
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: clothes that you both like to wear, and maybe you

160
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: can help me pick out something to liven up my wardrobe.

161
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: Then we can grab a pizza to take home and

162
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: eat in front of the TV. How does that sound

163
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: sounds good to me? Carl said. I can't wait to

164
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: see you wearing clothes that I wear, Casey said with

165
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: a smile. Casey, Carl, and Grandma Nitty drove to the

166
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: nearby shopping center that had a clothing store that Casey

167
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: liked to shop in. Carl didn't really care where they went,

168
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: as he didn't really care what he wore. As they

169
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: walked in the front door of the clothing store there,

170
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: Grandma said with a laugh, Wow, it certainly is loud

171
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: in here. Can you hear me talking? Is this the

172
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: kind of music you listen to? Carl? No, not really,

173
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: I like jazz. Well, it certainly has a fast beat.

174
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: That's so you will buy clothes faster, Casey said with

175
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: a laugh. Casey, Carl, and their Grandma Nitty spent the

176
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: next hour trying on various outfits. Carl just picked a

177
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: pair of plain sweats and a hoodie, and Casey was

178
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: much the same. Most of their time was spent having

179
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: fun watching their grandma wear the same kinds of clothes

180
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: that Casey liked to wear. It certainly was a big

181
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: change from the flowery dresses she usually wore. Grandma Nitty

182
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: finally settled on a pair of loose fitting pants and

183
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: a dark hoodie with a flower print on it. You

184
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: look like a teenager, Carl said, laughing. You really want pizza,

185
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: don't you. Grandma said with a smile. These clothes. Certainly

186
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: they are more comfy and cozy than the clothes I

187
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: wore when I was your age. I may just come

188
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: back here tomorrow and buy more. They picked up a

189
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: large pizza, some chicken nuggets, and fries and brought it

190
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: back to eat while they watched a funny movie on TV.

191
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: Thank you for the pizza nuggets, Grandma, Casey said, and

192
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: for the clothes, Carl said, you are welcome. I've never

193
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: had chicken nuggets and pizza before. I wouldn't have thought

194
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: of ordering them both, but I think it's a tasty treat,

195
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: she replied. As they finished their dinner. The door bell

196
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: rang and Casey and Carl's parents walked into the room.

197
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: Who are these three young teenagers sitting here? I thought

198
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: we dropped you off at your grandma's house. Their father said,

199
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: what do you think of my new outfit? Grandma nd

200
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: he asked, The kids helped me pick it out. I

201
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: think it looks great on you. I do too, and

202
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: that's the end of our story. Good Night, Leap Tight
