Enough about that, let's get too today's super Live Ay
Lewis story.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Hey friends, this is part two of when mom and
Dad were kids. If you haven't listened to part one,
run over there and listen to that one before you
start this one. Hi replied Ivy. That's funny. Those are
our parents' names. I'm Ivy and this is my brother Levi.
And that slide stunt you just pulled could have ended
with you getting really hurt.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I'm thinking maybe.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
You shouldn't try that again. Eric and Alexa just looked
at each other, totally shocked at what they were hearing.
Oh for sure, I definitely won't try that super fun
trick again, not, laughed Eric as he high fived Alexa.
Don't be so overprotective. We're just having some fun, added Alexa.
(01:21):
Ivy and Levi couldn't put their finger on it, but
they felt like they knew these two kids, but given
what they had just been through, they didn't think so
much about it at that point. They were a little
more concerned with the fact that they had just been
transported to an alternate reality through an old board game from.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
The nineteen nineties.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Hi, I know this is going to sound weird, but
can you tell us where we are?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Ask Levi.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
That is a weird question. Shouldn't you know where you are?
I mean you got here by yourselves, right? Where were
you going? Asked Alexa. That's just it, answered Ivy as
she went on to tell the two kids what had
just happened to.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Her and LEVI.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Wow, that sounds totally radical, exclaimed Eric. I wish something
cool like that would happen to us. Totally radical, said Ivy,
sounding kind of confused. Don't you mean super, Eric, No,
I mean it's radical, you know, awesome, great, fantastic, said Alexa.
It's just funny because We've only ever heard our parents say.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Totally radical before.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
So Levi, you know it's because they were kids in
the nineties. Yeah, just like all of us, said Eric.
Sandy more than a little confused. What do you mean,
just like all of us, asked Ivy. It's not twenty
twenty four. I guess it could be if you were
some kind of time traveler, answered Alexa. But here it's
(02:49):
just good old nineteen ninety five. Levi and Ivy could
have not been more shocked at what they were just
told the game they found was magic and that game
had sent them back in time. I guess this all
makes since the name of the game is totally tubular
time travelers, said Ivy as she sat down on a
nearby swing to think about how she and Levi were
going to get back home. Levi, on the other hand,
(03:11):
thought Eric and Alexa were super fun and was ready
to play regardless of the year. LEVI, come on, what
are you doing, asked Ivy. We kind of have a
big problem on our hands. Well, you know what we
say when we're having a problem with something, asked Alexa.
We say, talk to the hand. It's kind of like
(03:31):
what you would say when you don't want to hear
what's being said. That's so funny, Levi. Mom just said
that to me the other day when I kept asking
her to buy me some ice cream on the way
home from soccer practice, said iv as she took a
closer look at Alexa and suddenly realized where she knew
her from.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Alexa, did you get that little scar.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
On your chin when you fell in your driveway running
on ice on Christmas Day?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Asked Ivy.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Levi I heard his sister's question and walked over to
get a look at the scar.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Once he saw it, he was shocked.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, how did you know that?
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Asked Alexa.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I had gotten a new sled for Christmas, and I
slept when I ran outside to go sledding. Ivy looked
at Levi, and Levi looked at Eric.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Eric.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Do you buy chance play on a baseball team called
the Silver Sluggers?
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Asked Levi, already knowing the answer.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Wow, how did you know that you really are time travelers?
Exclaimed Eric, sounding excited. That's when the four kids figured
out that Eric and Alexa were actually Levi and Ivy's parents.
Just in kid form, I'm bugging out, said Eric, but
in a good way.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
This is amazing.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
What does buggin' out mean, Levi asked, as Alexa told
him it was the nineties way of saying you're panicking.
But regardless of who was bugging out, they all knew
this was a once in a lifetime experience and they
couldn't stand around and let it slip away. I mean,
how many times did you get to go time travel
and hang out with your parents.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
When they were your age.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Since we don't know how long we have together, we
better show you as much of the nineties as we can,
said Eric, I have some extra bikes at my house.
We can head over there and we can show you around.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Sound good?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Levi and Ivy nodded their heads, really excited for the
amazing adventure ahead. Alexa and Eric jumped on their bikes
and slowly rode along as Levi and Ivy walked beside them.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Hey, wait a minute, where are your bike helmets? Asked Ivy?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Bike what, replied Eric as he took a little bag
of cookies out of his pocket.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Would you guys like one? Sure?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
But I don't have any hand sanitizer with me, replied LEVI.
Do either of you hand what?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Asked Alexa?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
It sounds like you're speaking another language. Just wipe your
hands on your shorts and take a cookie. I can't
believe what I'm hearing, said Levi to Ivy with a
big smile. Once they reached Eric's house, he grabbed two
extra bikes from his garage and they were off, but
Levi and Ivy noticed some.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Very interesting things.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Eric just quickly yelled to his parents that he was
headed out again for the afternoon and would be back later.
They shouted back a list of things like be careful,
watch for cars when you're riding your bike, and something
about being home by the time the street lights came on.
That seemed kind of late, but Levi and Ivy just
went along with it. They followed Eric and Alexa no
bike helmets inside, and rode to a little wooden area
(06:17):
next to the park where they worked on a fort
that Eric and alex had been building for weeks. It
housed some of their most prized possession, like their priceless
beanie baby collection. Eric's ferby Alexis Bope came a pair
of moon shoes and a bucket full of POGs. This
stuff is pretty cool, said Levi. A little different than
the video games, smartphones and tablets we have, but still
(06:37):
pretty cool. Wow, phones are smart in the future, like
robots that can do everything for you, asked Alexa. Kind of,
said Ivy. But kids still have to make their beds
and do homework. Aw man, that' stinks.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Said Eric.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
They continued to work on the fort and talk about
all kinds of things. Then everyone started to feel a
little but hungry. Eric had grabbed a bag of popcorn
when he ran inside his house earlier, and they all
enjoyed a snack as they explored the park. Their fun
kid adventure led them to some muddy puddles, which, of
course they had to jump in first Eric, then Alexa.
Come on, Levi, Ivy, you're next, said Alexa. You mean
(07:17):
you want us to jump in these muddy puddles, asked Ivy.
Forgetting for a minute, who was talking to her? Of course,
said Eric, splashing mud everywhere. It's so much fun, so
we don't have to worry about getting our clothes dirty,
asked Levi. No, that's our parents problem, giggled Alexa. She
hopped into a big puddle with both feet. Levi and
(07:39):
Ivy didn't ask any more questions and jumped into the
muddy puddles too.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
They were having an amazing day.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
As the afternoon went on, soft shades of red and
purple stretched across the sky, letting Levi and Ivy know
it was getting late. The sun began to set, and
the street lights that lined the road to Eric's house
turned on one by one. That's our sign to head home,
said Eric. It was great getting to meet you both,
said Alexa, and I guess we'll see you again. This
day was totally radical, said Levi. Thank you for showing
(08:10):
us a bit of your childhood, added Ivy. Oh yeah,
before we go, Eric, I have some advice for you,
said Levi. If someday soon you and your best friend
are thinking of joining the circus and you want to
practice juggling eggs on your parents' new rug, don't do
it unless you don't mind cleaning up broken, gooey eggs
for the rest of the day. Levi laughed as Eric
(08:30):
gave him a thumbs up. I wonder how he knew
I wanted to join the circus one day, said Eric
to Alexa. And as they were saying there goodbye is
the street lights that Levi and Ivy were standing under
began to glow in a bright neon color. Levi and
Ivy knew right then that it was time to go home.
They waved goodbye one final time to the kid versions
of their parents, and before they knew it, they were
(08:52):
back in their playroom. The game board sitting in front
of them was still on, but it quickly buzzed one
last time and turned off. They sat stunned for a
minute or two, not believing what had just happened. Then
they hurried to put the game board back in its box,
return it to the playroom closet. We need to go
see mom and dad, Levi and Ivy said together as
(09:12):
they ran to the kitchen.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Oh, good timing.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
We're ready to eat dinner, said their mom as she
set out some plates. Just make sure you go and
wash your hands. Levi and Ivy giggled, thinking of their
mom eating cookies and popcorn that day without using so
much as a drop of hand sanitizer. They hurried back
to the table, eager to talk to their parents about
what it was like when they were kids and see
if it matched up with what they saw that day. So,
(09:35):
Mom and Dad, did you guys ever make forts when
you were younger, asked Ivy, and as she asked the question,
both she and Levi could see a light in their parents' eyes,
a glimmer of nostalgia as they remembered all the good
times they had together when they were young, running through
the day without a care in the world, knowing they
had a loving family to protect them, and seemingly endless
adventures around every turn.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
That is a great question. We love building forts.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
When we were younger, said Levi and Ivy's dad, I
always kept mind stocked with my favorite toys like moonshoes, and.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Pods, asked Ivy.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yeah, exactly, answered their dad. How do you even know
what those things are?
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Well, one of our teachers was talking about him the
other day in school, said Levi, just telling us about
when she was a kid. Well, I know it will
surprise you to hear this, but when we were kids,
not as many people wore bike helmets, said Ivy Levi's mom,
and no one carried around hand sanitizer, so I made
sure to go home and wash my hands before I
ate anything. Sure you did, mom, said Ivy, looking at
(10:36):
Levi with a smirk on her face.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
We totally believe you.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Then, from that moment on Levi and Ivy's parents couldn't
help but fill in the rest of the dinner conversation
with stories of their childhood. They all laughed as they
realized in that moment that they understood each other better
than they thought. As parents, now, Levi and Ivy's mom
and dad had a different role to play than when
they were kids. Now their job was to watch over
Levi and Ivy and make sure that they were always
safe and protected. But they knew there would be times
(11:03):
that their kids would need to make decisions on their own,
and thankfully, they were confident that Levi and Ivy would
always make the right choice because they taught them well,
and Levi and Ivy always knew that, no matter how
many times their mom reminded them to wear a bike
helmet or their dad asked them not to get too dirty,
that they were doing it because they loved them so much.
But after that dinner and all to talk about when
(11:24):
they were all kids, Levi and Ivy's mom and dad
started to let their kids make some decisions for themselves,
allowing them to gain experience and independence, but always being
there to hold their hand if they needed it. Thanks,
Mom and Dad, said Levi, this dinner and all your
fun stories were totally radical, shouted Levi and Ivy together
(11:44):
as they thought back on the amazing day they spent
in nineteen ninety five. Hey, friends, why don't you go
and ask your mom and dad about their favorite things
that they got to do when they were little. Thanks
for joining us today. We hope you enjoyed the story
and learned a little something too.

Pods, asked Ivy.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yeah, exactly, answered their dad. How do you even know
what those things are?
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Well, one of our teachers was talking about him the
other day in school, said Levi, just telling us about
when she was a kid. Well, I know it will
surprise you to hear this, but when we were kids,
not as many people wore bike helmets, said Ivy Levi's mom,
and no one carried around hand sanitizer, so I made
sure to go home and wash my hands before I
ate anything. Sure you did, mom, said Ivy, looking at
(10:36):
Levi with a smirk on her face.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
We totally believe you.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Then, from that moment on Levi and Ivy's parents couldn't
help but fill in the rest of the dinner conversation
with stories of their childhood. They all laughed as they
realized in that moment that they understood each other better
than they thought. As parents, now, Levi and Ivy's mom
and dad had a different role to play than when
they were kids. Now their job was to watch over
Levi and Ivy and make sure that they were always
safe and protected. But they knew there would be times
(11:03):
that their kids would need to make decisions on their own,
and thankfully, they were confident that Levi and Ivy would
always make the right choice because they taught them well,
and Levi and Ivy always knew that, no matter how
many times their mom reminded them to wear a bike
helmet or their dad asked them not to get too dirty,
that they were doing it because they loved them so much.
But after that dinner and all to talk about when
(11:24):
they were all kids, Levi and Ivy's mom and dad
started to let their kids make some decisions for themselves,
allowing them to gain experience and independence, but always being
there to hold their hand if they needed it. Thanks,
Mom and Dad, said Levi, this dinner and all your
fun stories were totally radical, shouted Levi and Ivy together
(11:44):
as they thought back on the amazing day they spent
in nineteen ninety five. Hey, friends, why don't you go
and ask your mom and dad about their favorite things
that they got to do when they were little. Thanks
for joining us today. We hope you enjoyed the story
and learned a little something too.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
And since we know everyone has their own story, we'd
love to hear yours.
Speaker 1 (12:06):

Speaker 2 (12:14):

We can't wait to share another fun, Lively Lewis story
with you
