Lewis story.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Levi and Ivy were playing together in their backyard as
they did most nights. The weather was getting warmer as
winter turned into spring, and they took every opportunity they
could to enjoy the nice weather. Levi practiced soccer as
Ivy created a wonderful nomen a faery garden. As she
worked to create the perfect place for her garden friends
to call home, I've asked for Levi's help. She needed
(00:59):
a few rocks to act as mountains in the distance
of her make believe land, and called on Levi to.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Grab some for her.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
He dribbled over with three rocks in his hand and
tossed them in the direction of Ivy's grand garden creation.
The rocks skipped and rolled toward the tiny houses, fences,
and play area Ivy had created for any gnome or
fairy that wished to call her garden home. So when
she saw the rocks making their way toward what she
had worked so hard to create, she screamed. Ivy reached
out her hand to stop the rocks, that, along with
(01:27):
her loud scream, caught her mom's attention. Ivy, what's wrong,
she called, as she turned away from the book she
was reading on the deck. Levi exclaimed, Ivy, she stopped
the rocks right before they smashed one of her nome houses.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
It took me forever to make this little garden village.
Ivy looked relieved that she stopped the rocks, but was
still mad at her brother for being so careless. WHOA,
I'm sorry, Ivy replied Levi, sitting down on the ground
by his sister. I didn't realize the rocks were going
to go so far. At that point, Levin Ivy's mom
had made her way over to see if she could help.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Is everything okay over here? She asked. She could tell.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Ivy was upset. It is now because of my quick reflexes.
But LEVI almost flattened part of mynome and fairy garden
by throwing a bunch of rocks over here, explained Ivy.
I didn't throw them, you asked for them, and I
rolled them your way, added Levi. Okay, I see what's
happening here, said Levin Ivy's mom.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
It was just an accident, Ivy.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I'm sure LEVI didn't intentionally try to mess up your
lovely garden creation. And Levi just remember, next time you're
around something so delicate, you must treat it with kid gloves.
Levi and Ivy both looked at their mom like she
was speaking a different language. What were kid gloves? And
since they were kids, shouldn't they have a pair of them?
(02:49):
Do you mean I should start wearing special gloves to
make my nome in fairy gardens? Do I have to
wear these special kid gloves to play soccer or when
I ride my bike?
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Asked Levi? Do they come in cool colors? And are
they waterproof? I could wear them when we go to
the beach.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
And I make sand castles, said Ivy Sanding, more excited
about these new kid friendly accessories.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Oh yeah, good idea.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
And I could get a pair for when I rebuild
my block towers, added Levi.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Maybe a pair with lightning bolts on them, that would
be cool.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
The whole time her kids were talking, Levi and Ivy's
mom tried to hold back her laughter until she couldn't
anymore and let out a giggle.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
What do they not make lightning bolt kid gloves?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Asked Levi, looking a bit disappointed. No, Levi, it's not that,
began their mom. There are no actual kid gloves. Well,
I mean there are gloves that kids wear, like snow gloves,
gardening gloves, and baseball and softball gloves. But the gloves
I was talking about are just an expression, an expression,
asked Ivy Sanding. Confused, So I'm not getting bike riding
(03:53):
kid gloves, asked LEVI.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Let me explain, said their mom.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
The expression treating something with kid gloves is something people
say when they are meant to be careful and treat
something gently, like, for example, Ivy, your Noman faery garden
is delicate, So Levi needs to be careful around.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
It is what I meant.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Levi and Ivy took a minute to take in all
the information their mom had just given them. Although they
wanted the cool kid gloves they had imagined in their minds,
they now understood what she was talking about. Sorry if
you're disappointed, but it's important to ask what something means
if you're unsure. Levi and Ivy's mom said, if you
don't ask, that can sometimes lead to miscommunication or misunderstanding
(04:30):
of what someone is saying, and sometimes that.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Can have some silly results.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Imagine if I never told you what kid gloves were
and you both started wearing gloves all the time when
you played with your friends. That would be super silly.
Hearing his mom's explanation made Levi think of something his
teacher said in school the day before.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Oh, I get it now.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
It's like when mister Lopez told our class we had
to stay inside for recess because it was raining cats
and dogs, said LEVI all got really excited and said,
we'd love to play with a bunch of cats and
dogs at recess.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Buddy told us that it was just meant it was
raining really hard.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Then Ivy remembered something similar that had happened at her
school too. The other day, I thought, I heard my
friend Aaron say we couldn't play our favorite computer a
game at her house because her computer was.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Sick, said Ivy. I mean, how can your computer get
a cold?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
But it turns out she meant a computer virus, which
just means there was something wrong with the way it
was working.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
That's it's exactly, said Levi.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
And I have his mom, who laughed once again as
she thought about the funny ways words can mean different things.
Then she walked back to the deck to finish reading
her book, leaving her kids to play. Levi helped Ivy
place her mountain rocks in the garden, and then he
went back to playing soccer. Thank you, Levi, and don't
forget to wear your cake gloves if you come back
over here to help in my garden, giggled Ivy. Of course,
(05:55):
replied Levi with a big smile. I'll wear my favorite
pair with the lightning bolts on them to make sure
I don't recks a single gnome house or fairypool. Then,
as Levi and Ivy continued to play in the backyard,
they heard their mom's cell phone ring when she picked
it up. They knew immediately is their mom's best friend McCall.
They would talk forever about anything and everything, and tonight
was no exception. And perhaps Levi and Ivy should have
(06:17):
remembered their mom's advice about asking for an explanation if
something you hear confuses you or doesn't seem quite right.
But I guess if they did, we wouldn't have this
silly story to tell. The night went on and some
began to set in the sky. As it did, Levi
and Ivy's mom continued her conversation with her best friend McCall.
Levi and Ivy weren't listening closely to what their mom
(06:37):
was saying, as they had soccer to practice and Noman
fairy houses to build. But every once in a while
they heard a little something over the light breeze, wrestling leaves,
and the neighborhood noises that filled the air, and a
few of the things they heard really caught their attention. Hey,
Levi called out Ivy to her brother, come over here. Levi,
who was playing nearby, ran over to Ivy with a
(06:58):
smile on his face. Did you hear what mom said?
He asked, before Ivy could even say one word. I
sure did, replied Ivy. Do you think she's serious? I mean,
why would she lie to her best friend? Said Levi,
trying to make sense out of what they had both
just heard. As they talk more, they heard their mom
say something else that they couldn't believe, just before she
(07:19):
ended her call and told them to finish up with
their plane and come inside to get ready for bed.
But before they did, they had to discuss what they
had just heard. Levi, you heard it too, right, asked Ivy.
I just want to make sure that I'm not the
only one who heard mom say it. Nope, I heard
it too, said Levi excitedly. And we have to try it.
(07:39):
I mean we just have to. Okay, great, But which
one should we try first? Asked Ivy. Brushing our teeth
with chocolate or washing her hair with marshmallows?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yep, you heard that right.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Levi and Ivy heard their mom saying that brushing your
teeth with chocolate makes them sparkly and clean, and that
washing your hair with marshmallows makes it shiny soft. Or
at least that's what they thought they heard. But for
two very creative, hand curious kids who were both big
fans of chocolate and marshmallows. They didn't want to look
any further. They loved what they heard and they were
(08:13):
going in with that. And before they ran inside for bed,
they came up with a plan to try out their
mom's sweet and sugary beauty treatments for themselves. Okay, so
when we go in, you're gonna grab a bar of
chocolate from the cupboard, and I'll grab the bag of
marshmallows that dad hid behind the pretzels, said Levi and Ivy.
It's a good thing mom just bought stuff to make s'mores,
added Ivy. Or how else would we be able to
(08:36):
try this new and amazing beauty routine. Maybe she wasn't
thinking of making s'mores when she bought all that stuff.
Maybe she was thinking of doing a spot ay at home,
replied Levi. That's a good point, said Ivy. We'll make
sure to leave her enough chocolate and marshmallow so she
can use them this week. And with their plan put together,
Levi and Ivy set off to have a spot day
(08:57):
of their own, that is, if Willie Wonker ran a spot.
They grabbed their supplies and ran upstairs, putting the chocolate
and marshmallows in the bathroom closet under some bath towels.
They wanted to try out their mom's beauty tips and
didn't want any help. After all, Levi and Ivy considered
themselves experts when it came to chocolate and marshmallows.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
So how hard could it be.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Both their parents had some work to take care before bed,
so after Levi and Ivy were changed into their pajamas,
they said good night to their kids and headed off
to write some emails and finish up their work for
the day. This left Levi and Ivy alone upstairs, which
was the perfect time to break out the chocolate and marshmallows.
As quietly as they could, they both crept out of
their rooms and into the bathroom. They grabbed their supply
(09:39):
of sugary sweets and got to work. Levi got the
hair dryer out as Ivy unwrapped the chocolate bar. I
can't believe we're brushing our teeth.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Twice in one night, whispered Ivy. I mean we have
to try it.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Mom is always telling us to take care of our teeth,
said Levi with a smile.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
And you heard her. Chocolate made her teeth extra sparkley
and clean. Ivy agreed with.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Levi as she placed a small piece of chocolate on
her toothbrush and another on Levi's. He then turned the
hair dryer on the quietest setting and held it over
the toothbrushes, hoping it wouldn't take long to mouth the
chocolate into a tasty toothpaste. Well it didn't, and before long,
Levi turned off the hair dryer and he and Ivy
are ready to brush their teeth. They held their toothbrushes tight,
gave each other a smile, and started the countdown. Three two, one,
(10:27):
whispered Ivy as she and Levi held their toothbrushes up
to their mouths, each one dripping with.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Ooey, gooey chocolate.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
