Called out Ivy as 27 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: she ran and then jumped on Levi's bed. I'll get 28 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: the list we made and then we can head downstairs 29 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: to start our yesterday, said Levi as he jumped out 30 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 1: of bed. But how did this yesterday come to be, 31 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: you may be wondering. Well, it all happened when Levi 32 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: and Ivy challenged their parents to a relay race obstacle. 33 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 3: Course the weekend before. 34 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: They set up the course in the backyard and asked 35 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: if their parents wanted to try it out with them. 36 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy loved playing outside more than anything, and 37 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 1: often spent all weekend in their treehouse, exploring their neighborhood 38 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: with friends, or running around the park and down the street, 39 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: so it was no surprise that they wanted to share 40 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: some fun outdoor time with their parents. Their mom and 41 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,279 Speaker 1: dad loved that their kids enjoyed playing outside, and unlike 42 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: a lot of their friends, they didn't focus a large 43 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: amount of their time on screens. Yes, they had their 44 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: favorite TV shows, they liked video games, and their talbots 45 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: were fun to play with. On long car rides, but 46 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: they didn't use them all the time. If they had 47 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: the choice, they would almost always choose playing outdoors over 48 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: watching a screen. 49 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 3: Mom and dad, are. 50 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: You all set for this relay race obstacle course? It's 51 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: pretty tough, giggled Lee by looking at Ivy. Yep, but 52 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: not for Levi and I. We do these kinds of 53 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: races all the time, said Ivy with a big smiles. Well, 54 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: get ready to be super surprised, said Levin and Ivy's mom. 55 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: Your dad and I were obstacle course relay race champs 56 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: when we were your age. I was kind of a 57 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: legend in my neighborhood, said Levin and Ivy's dad as 58 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: he stretched over by the starting line. I was undefeated 59 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: four years until I twisted my ankle jumping over a 60 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,679 Speaker 1: mud puddle into the center of a hula hoop in 61 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: the nineteen ninety five championship race at my friend Samantha's house. 62 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 3: That was a sad day. 63 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy tried their best to hold back their 64 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: laughter as they listened to their parents remembering when. 65 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 3: They were kids. I'm sorry to bring up this. 66 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,119 Speaker 1: Very important fact, but you two are a lot older now. 67 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 3: And the other day Dad hurt his back when. 68 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: He sneezed, giggled Levi and mom can't get up from 69 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: the couch without saying ouch my knees, laughed Ivy. If 70 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: I had to make a guess, I'd say Levi and 71 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: I are going to win this with no problem at all. 72 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 3: Oh you think so. 73 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: Said Ivy's mom, standing up from the picnic table. Oh 74 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: my niece, see what I mean, said Ivy as she 75 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: high five Levi. 76 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 3: We've got this. 77 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy's parents knew their kids had a point, 78 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: but they really wanted to prove to them that just 79 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: because they were older didn't mean they couldn't win the 80 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: relay race. Levi and Ivy's dad whispered something to their mom, 81 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: and she smiled and nodded her head in agreement. Levi, Ivy, 82 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: your mom and I have something to add to the 83 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: relay race obstacle course competition that we think will make 84 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: this a lit a little more interesting, began Levin and 85 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:03,839 Speaker 1: Ivy's dad. 86 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 3: The team that. 87 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: Wins this race will get he paused for dramatic effect, 88 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: which intrigued Levi and Ivy. They leaned in close to 89 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: hear what the price could possibly be the team that 90 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: wins this race, will get Levi and Ivey's dad said, 91 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: once more, A Yesterday, exclaimed Levi and Ivy's mom as 92 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: she threw her hands in the air. Levi and Ivy 93 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: couldn't believe what they were hearing. They had been asking 94 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: for a Yesterday from their parents for as long as 95 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: they could remember, but when they asked, they were always 96 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: told it wasn't a good time and that they would 97 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: do it one day soon, And it looked like that 98 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: day had finally arrived. 99 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 3: A Yesday, exclaimed Levi. That's awesome. 100 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: With a Yesterday up for grabs, there's no way we're 101 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: gonna lose, said Ivy. That may not have been your 102 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: best idea. Levi and Ivy's parents saw how serious their 103 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: kids looked after they mentioned the yesterday prize. Their eyes 104 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: sparkled with a glimmer of pure competition. They were focused 105 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: on winning and nothing else. Oh no, said Levin Ivy's 106 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: dad to their mom. This may have been a bad idea. 107 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: Don't worry, said Levine Ivy's mom. We have way more 108 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: years of racing under our belts and we're still pretty young, 109 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: right Yeah, yes, said Levine, Ivy's dad not sounding very convincing. 110 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: But just think about if we win, said Levin Ivy's mom. 111 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: The kids will have to do whatever we say for 112 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: a whole day. Oh, you're right, let's win this thing, 113 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,799 Speaker 1: said Levin Ivy's dad as d high five their mom. 114 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy were ready to start and offer their 115 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: parents the chance to choose when they went. They thought 116 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: and decided to go first and run their race on 117 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 1: a fresh course. So once Levi and Ivy's dad was 118 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 1: set up on the starting line and their mom was 119 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: set up midway through the course to finish the last 120 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: leg of the rice, Levi and Ivy took their position 121 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: on the porch and got ready to start them off. 122 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: The winner of this obstacle course relay race will be 123 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: determined by the fastest time per team, said Levi's He 124 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: held up his dad's bright yellow stopwatch.

Okay, good luck on your mark. Get set go, 129 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: exclaimed Ivy as Levi pressed the start button on the stopwatch. 130 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 3: Levi and Ivy's dad took. 131 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: Off from the starting line like a bolt of lightning. 132 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy were really impressed and a little worry. 133 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: But since this isn't your normal relay race, their dad 134 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: couldn't just rely on being fast. He also had to 135 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: tackle some pretty tough obstacles, and much to his kid's surprise, 136 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy's dad was doing a really good job. 137 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 3: Leaping over, dodging, and running through the. 138 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: Obstacles they had set up, that is, until he let 139 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: his success get the better of him. Levine Ivy's dad 140 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: was feeling very confident, and he headed towards the puddle 141 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: jump and looked over at Levi and Ivy to show 142 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: them how proud he was of himself. But by doing that, 143 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: he misstepped, slipped on the mushy grass at the edge 144 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: of the puddle, and fell in with a splash. He 145 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: quickly hopped up and tagged Levin Ivy's mom to start 146 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: her leg of the race, but not before wasting some 147 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: very valuable seconds lying in a cold puddle. Levi and 148 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: Ivy's mom started off quickly as well and hopped over, 149 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: skipped through, and made it past all the obstacles that 150 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: were in their way, that is, until she reached the 151 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: treehouse ladder Clyne. She got half way up before letting 152 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: out the all too familiar cry oh my knees. She 153 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: slowly made her way back down the ladder and finish 154 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: up the race by limping across the finish line. Levin 155 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: Ivy called time and ran over to check on their parents. 156 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: And I think you can guess what happened next. Yep, 157 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: that's right. Levi and Ivy got set up to run 158 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: their race and beat their parents' time by twenty seconds. 159 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: It wasn't even close. Oh no, whispered Levi and Ivy's 160 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: dad to their mom. 161 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 3: We have to do it yesterday. 162 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: Now, what are the chances they forgot that we offered 163 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: a yesterday to the winner, asked Levi and Ivy's mom. 164 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: Not very good, answered Levi and Ivy's dad, as they 165 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: both looked over at their kids who were jumping around 166 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: and cheering yes day, yes day, yes day. Since they 167 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: did make a promise, Levi and Ivy's parents told them 168 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: that their yesterday could be the following Saturday, and that 169 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: is where we started our story. As soon as Levi 170 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: and Ivy's parents were up that Saturday morning, they heard 171 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 1: their kids preparing for their Yesterday. They had watched all 172 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: week long as Levi and Ivy added to their Yesterday 173 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: list and got more and more excited as their big 174 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: day got closer. Mom and dad, it's time, called out 175 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy, who knew their Yesterday started at eight 176 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: am that morning and went until about eight pm that night. 177 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy's parents took a deep breath as they 178 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: got out of bed and prepared themselves for the day. 179 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,439 Speaker 1: It'll be over in no time, they kept repeating to themselves, and. 180 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 3: How bad could it possibly be. 181 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: I'm sure they'll last to go to the park all morning, 182 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: eat some junk food, maybe go to the zoo, and 183 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: then sleep out in the treehouse, said Levi and Ivy's mom. 184 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: For one day, we can handle doing whatever they want 185 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: to do, said their dad confidently. Then they walked downstairs 186 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 1: to the kitchen, ready for whatever Levi and Ivy had planned. 187 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: But they couldn't have imagined what an important lesson one 188 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: Yesterday could teach their kids. Once everyone arrived in the 189 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: kitchen that morning, Levi and Ivy didn't waste a minute 190 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: getting started with their list of requests. 191 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 3: We'd like to start out with chocolate chip pancakes. 192 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: Hot chocolate and chocolate ice cream, said Ivy with a 193 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: big smile. We'd also like to eat that amazing breakfast 194 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 1: in the living room while we watched one of our 195 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 1: favorite TV shows, added Levi. Levi and Ivy's parents had 196 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: counted on junk been a part of the Yesterday, but 197 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,599 Speaker 1: they were a little surprised that their kids wanted to 198 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,199 Speaker 1: watch TV so early in the morning. They never watched 199 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: TV during breakfast or any of the meals for that matter, 200 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: unless they were having a special movie night. But it 201 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: was a Yesterday, so they knew there would be lots 202 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: of things that were out of the ordinary going on 203 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: that day. Yes, answered Levi and Ivy's mom as she 204 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: started to get the ingredients out to make pancakes. Awesome, 205 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: We're gonna be waiting in the living room, said Levi, 206 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: jumping around with Ivy. Strange that they want a TV 207 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: show so early, said Levi and Ivy's dad. I thought 208 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: they'd maybe want to eat their junk food outside, maybe 209 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: a morning picnic. 210 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 3: But it's their day. 211 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: I'm sure the rest of the day will be outside 212 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: running around with them. Breakfast was served as Levi and 213 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,079 Speaker 1: Ivy laughed along with their favorite TV show. They loved 214 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,959 Speaker 1: their first Yesterday meal and ate every last bit. Their 215 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: parents gave them time to eat and waited until their 216 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: show was over before they went back to the living 217 00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: room to clean up. 218 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 3: Then they eagerly. 219 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,959 Speaker 1: Awaited to find out where the rest of the day 220 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 1: would take them. 221 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 3: So what's next? 222 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,319 Speaker 1: Maybe the park for some kite flying or hike on 223 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: a trail with the waterfall at the end of it, 224 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: asked their dad. And if you ask, I guess we'd 225 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: have to let you swim under the waterfall in that 226 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: cool little lagoon too, added Levi and Ivy's mom. 227 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 3: M that sounds cool. 228 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: But we were thinking you could buy us the latest 229 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: version of our favorite video game and we could play 230 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 1: that for a bit, said Ivy. Yes, I guess so, 231 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: said Levin Ivy's dad. 232 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 3: Great, And while. 233 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: We're waiting for you to run to the store and 234 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: get that, we're gonna play on our tablets, said Levi. 235 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 3: Thanks Dad, Yeah, thanks. 236 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: Said Ivy as she followed Levi to grab their tablets 237 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: and then head into the playroom. Morning TV, video games 238 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: and tablets, asked Levin and Ivy's mom. 239 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 3: Not what I was expecting. 240 00:11:58,480 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: We still have a lot of the day he left 241 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: to get through, said Levin Ivy's dad reassuringly, before he 242 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: ran out to the store to buy their new video game. 243 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: Once he got back, Levi and Ivy cheered and grabbed 244 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: the games from their dad. They popped it into the 245 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: gaming system and proceeded to spend hours playing. As lunchtime 246 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: got closer and closer. I'm thinking they'll definitely want to 247 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: head outside now, right, asked Levi's dad. 248 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,359 Speaker 3: I would hope, so, answered their mom. 249 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,599 Speaker 1: As the day goes on, I'm noticing that I was 250 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: kind of excited for their yesterday too. I thought they 251 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: would have us outside doing a bunch of things they 252 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: always asked to do, but. 253 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 3: We just don't ever have time for. 254 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: I know, I was kind of feeling that way too, 255 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: said Levin Ivy's dad. Let's see what they want to 256 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: do for lunch. Maybe a picnic on the beach and 257 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: we could get that amazing frozen yogurt they love unlimited toppings. 258 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: But when Levi and Ivy's parents asked what they wanted 259 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: to do for lunch, this is what they heard. We'd 260 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: like to try that new fast food place that just 261 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: opened up the one that's start there giant cheeseburgers and 262 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: mega sized fries, said Levi. 263 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 3: And while you go and get it, we'll keep playing 264 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:07,719 Speaker 3: our video games. 265 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: Or I guess we could come with you too, said Ivy. 266 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 1: My neck is starting to hurt a bit from staring 267 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: at the TV. Good idea. We've still got a long 268 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: Yesterday ahead of us, said Levi. Great, I'm glad to 269 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: hear you want to get out of the house, said 270 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy's mom. Since we'll be out, maybe we 271 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: can have a picknic. Nope, we'd still like to bring 272 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: the food back here and eat while we play our 273 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 1: video games a bit more, answered Levi. 274 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 3: What do you say? 275 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: Yes, said Levi's dad, not sounding very happy about it. 276 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 1: As their kids ran upstairs to change, Levi and Ivy's 277 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: parents waited for them, hoping they would want to do 278 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: a yes Day activity that wasn't on a screen. At 279 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 1: least while they were driving to the new fast food place. 280 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: They couldn't be on a screen, thought their parents. That 281 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,959 Speaker 1: was until Levi and Ivy asked to use their mom's 282 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: phone to watch a video. What do you say, mom, 283 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: asked Ivy, holding out her hand from the backseat. Yes, 284 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 1: said Ivy's mom in a low voice, sounding a bit 285 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: disappointed at the request. Once at the fast food place, 286 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: the kids ordered their food and they all headed back 287 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: to the house. Levi and Ivy thanked their parents and 288 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: ran back to their video game, where they played in 289 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: ate burgers and fries for another hour. Levi and Ivy's 290 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: parents waited in the kitchen for the next request from 291 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: their kids, just hoping that it wouldn't be something that 292 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: had to do with a scream. And what they first 293 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,359 Speaker 1: heard made them really happy, but it quickly went downhill. 294 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: Mom dad called out Levi and Ivy as they walked 295 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: into the kitchen. We'd love some ice cream right now, 296 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: extra sprinkles, extra whiptopping, and extra hot fudge, said Levi. 297 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: And we'd like to talk with you about tonight, said Ivey. 298 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: We loved eat dinner outside and sleep in our treehouse. Yes, 299 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: one hundred percent, yes, exclaimed Levin and Ivy's mom. I'm 300 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: sorry for all the excitement. I just think that's a 301 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: really great choice. Oh it is, but we haven't gotten 302 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: to the best part yet, said Ivy. We're gonna eat 303 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: outside and watch a movie, said Levi. Dad can hook 304 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: up his projector to his laptop and we can download something. 305 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 3: And then we'll need. 306 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: To borrow his laptop again because we're gonna take that 307 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: up into the treehouse with us so we can. 308 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 3: Watch shows and play video games all night long, said Ivy. 309 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy's parents didn't know what to say at 310 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: that point. All they could think was more screens. Aren't 311 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: they tired of watching TV and playing video games yet? 312 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: Then as they were putting together Levi and Ivy's ice 313 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: cream Sundays, they had a thought. Hey, Levi and Ivy, 314 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: You're yesterday ends at eight pm, right, asked their dad. 315 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: That means we don't have to say yes to you 316 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: watching TV all night long in your treehouse. 317 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 3: Good one, whispered Levi and Ivy's mom. 318 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: Actually, Dad, everyone knows that as long as you asked 319 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: for your request before your Yesterday is officially over, your 320 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: parents have to say yes, said Levi. Of course, we 321 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: know the request can extend into the next day, so 322 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: we'll be sure to stop watching TV at midnight, said 323 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: Ivy with a smile. Midnight, shut out Levi and Ivy's mom. 324 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: But that would mean you've been pretty much watching screens 325 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: all day. Yes, all of a yesterday to be specific, 326 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: Levi said, correcting his mom. So it's totally fine. The 327 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: yesterday was your idea after all, said Ivy. 328 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 3: Suh, do we have a yes? 329 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: Yes, said Levi and Ivy's parents, but they didn't sound 330 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: happy about it at all. 331 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 3: However, they couldn't argue with Ivy. She was right. 332 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: They were the ones that suggested the yes day. They 333 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: just thought it was going to go a lot differently. 334 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: They continue making the ice cream Sundays as Levi and 335 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: Ivy sat in the kitchen talking about which movie they'd 336 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: watch while eating dinner. Once they got their ice cream Sundays, 337 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy ran into the living room and turned 338 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: the TV back on. They didn't even say thank you 339 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: to their parents. The hours went by, and not once 340 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: did Levi and Ivy asked to do one house activity, 341 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: not going to the park, or the zoo or even 342 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: the beach. Dinner time came and they requested pizza and 343 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: milkshakes and plopped down in the yard to watch the 344 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:10,360 Speaker 1: movie they had picked out. 345 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 3: They laughed and ate. 346 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: Pizza, but seemed to be in their own worlds at 347 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: this point. They had been on screens for so long, 348 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 1: it seemed to be all they were looking at. Even 349 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 1: when Levi and Ivy talked to each other, they never 350 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: took their eyes off the screen. As the night went on, 351 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy started to talk less and less. They 352 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: hadn't spoken to their parents for much of the day, 353 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,959 Speaker 1: and now they were so focused on the movie that 354 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: they even stopped talking to each other. Once the movie 355 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: was over and the pizza was gone, they climbed the 356 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 1: ladder to their treehouse. Their dad followed behind with his 357 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: laptop and an extra long extension cord. He set up 358 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: the laptop and plugged it into an outdoor outlet next 359 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: to the back door that led into the house. Levi 360 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: and Ivy's mom popped into the treehouse with blankets, pillows, 361 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: and sleeping bags and set up a nice area for 362 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: her kids to sleep in that night. We'll be right 363 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: inside if you need us, said Levi mom. And maybe 364 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: if you want to, you can look at the stars, 365 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,640 Speaker 1: or draw, or play a board game or just talk 366 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: to each other. However, Levi and Ivy didn't seem to 367 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 1: be listening as they started to play a video game 368 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 1: on their dad's laptop. Hey, before you start on that game. 369 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 1: We could play a game of backyard flashlight tag, suggested 370 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: Levin and Ivy's dad when he went up to say 371 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 1: good night. He really hoped his kids would want to 372 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: take a break from the screens at least for a 373 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: little bit. We can't, Dad, it's already started, said Levi. Okay, 374 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:31,360 Speaker 1: we're going in. 375 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 3: Good Night, said. 376 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy's dad, but no one answered him. We 377 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: said good night, repeated Levi and Ivy's mom. Oh yeah, night, 378 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: said Levi and Ivy, never looking up from their game. 379 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 1: Their parents climbed down the ladder and stood in the 380 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: backyard for a bit as the sounds of video games 381 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 1: were the only thing they could hear. Hey, friends, that 382 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: is the end of Too Much Technology, Part one. I'm 383 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: back soon for part two.
