- I've got great news - Let me guess you've been
nominated for a Nobel prize?
- You've discovered a new planet?
-You brought me a puppy?
-Sorry but no, no, and no. Actually it's the greatest homework assignment ever.
- I can't believe you're this jazzed about homework.
-What's the assignment little buddy?
-Well were learning about pioneers at school. - Do they have puppies?
-And we get to make a diorama of a real pioneer village.
-A ramadama what?
- Oh that sounds like a perfect job for my
glue gun, and popsicle sticks. We'll need lots of popsicle sticks.
We can use this paint and there are some really great felt pieces.
-Well um you see the thing is I was actually thinking that maybe.
I thought that maybe I could get some help from an architect.
-I'd love to help you Jacob and we sure could use all those
great supplies your mom has put together. Now couldn't we?
-Ya of course I mean totally.
-No offense mom you know I love working on
projects with you. - It's okay Jacob I understand.
-Well I don't understand. Why don't you all just make the dramaorama together?
All - No!! (laughing)
- That's a little too much drama if you ask me.
- Ya remember what happened with my science project last year?
You guys completely took over
and then you had a fight. Sorry a disagreement
about scientific accuracy versus artistic integrity.
(moms argue in background) -Let's not go there again.
-Your right Jakey. Sometimes too many cooks spoil the broth.
-What's broth? I thought we were making pizza
for dinner tonight. Is broth what pioneers ate?
-We are having pizza Amelia. I'm making the sauce
right now and then were going to put it all together.
-Broth is the liquid part of the soup. And pioneers
probably did eat a lot of soup. Don't you think Jacob?
-Well they cooked there food over an open fire in a big pot.
I guess they probably did eat a lot of broth.
All - (laughing)
-Why don't we get dinner out of the way and then you two can get started okay.
-Thanks mom
-Wow these blue prints are so detailed. -The secret to a great
project is a great plan. -Are we going to start building soon?
- Lemonade -That's great honey. - Ya mom thanks. It will go great with
the cookies you brought and the granola bars
and the organic fruit rolls. (laughing)
-Okay my busy builders I get the hint. Amelia and I
are going out to play in the backyard.
- If I can't have a puppy I'm going to be a puppy.
-I'll let you know when its bed time. -Come on little puppy.
Time to go in Amelia
-I'm not Amelia I'm a puppy. Ruff Ruff
-Alright. Come on little puppy it's time for your bath.- Puppies love bath time.
- Hey! Be careful Amelia.
- Sorry about that. This puppies still got a lot of energy.
You guys got a lot done tonight the village looks great.
- Thanks Mom - That's it for tonight Jakey.
I think were in good shape.
- So we'll finish tomorrow night?- Right after dinner. There's still a lot of
work to be done but it's nothing we can't handle. Right?- Right. Thanks mom
- Well I'm going to take Amelia up.
I mean this puppy up for her bath now.
- Uh mom? -Ya Jakey? -Can you make spaghetti for dinner
tomorrow? -Okay. But do you mind if I ask why? - Well I figure
spaghetti requires the least amount of chewing and the less time
I spend on chewing the more time I'll have to work on my project.
(laughing)
I, I, I ran all the way from the bus stop. Is, is she home yet?
-Not yet buddy. She had a big meeting today.- Oh
- Were making pup pastry.- Not pup pastry Amelia. Puff pastry. (phone rings)
Hello, Oh hi Sus. Okay.
Aha I ll tell him. That was your mom Jacob
the meeting is running late and she won't be home for a little while.
-Oh.- She said to go ahead and have dinner without her.
That way you guys will be able to get right to work on the village.
-Well okay. I guess that will work.
-Let's get this pastry into the fridge and then we'll get started
on the spaghetti dinner I promised you. Okay little buddy?
-Okay.
- Spaghetti 's ready. Were going to need that colander now puppy.
-Errr errr.- Go wash your hands. Let's eat.
-When is she going to be home?- I know she'll be here as soon as she can Jacob.
-It's getting late and the project is due tomorrow.
-Maybe I could help you finish it.- I don't know.
-Two heads are always better than one. - Well I guess
if we just follow the plan everything should be fine.
Last throw puppy I've got a village to build.
-Wow these are ah really, really ah thorough.
-Mom says a great project starts with a great plan.
-And she's totally right Jakey. Plans are great.
But sometimes there are things you can't plan for
and sometimes it's just fun to do things with no plan at all.
-But we have a plan. Right here.
-Oh I can feel the creativity really starting
to flow now.- Really. Here it is. The plan.
Ahhh! There's red paint everywhere.
- Huh don't sweat it Jakey. This isn't a problem
it's an opportunity. I think this could work out even better.
Instead of summer it could be fall in the village.
-It's not supposed to be fall it's supposed
to be summer. That's what it says in the plan.
-Pipe down Amelia.
-It's ruined, it's all ruined. - What's going on in here?
(Nancy and Jacob talking over each other explaining what happened)
-Hold on a second everybody. Information overload.
-I was just helping out because somebody wasn't home from work on time.
- This can't be all my fault. I just got here.
And why are those trees all red?
- Well
There was an opportunity to change the plan and we
ahh decided it is now fall in the pioneer village.
-Fall? It can't possibly be fall. Fall is all wrong.
-I can't believe you can be this stubborn.
-I can't believe that this is happening again. You've both forgotten
that this is my project and were going to do it my way this time.
I need you to get all of those trees ready to
show off their best fall colours pronto. - But, but
- We'll have to change a few things but I really like the autumn theme.
-Can we still have a little farm with the corn stalks and the pumpkin vines?
-Of course but now the corn will have been harvested and
the pumpkins will be big and ripe. Don't you see it can be even better?
- You re right Jacob. I'm sorry Nancy. I'm sorry everybody.
Can we hit the reset button? - Absolutely. I'm sorry too.
-Great everybody's sorry. Can we cut the
diorama drama and get back to work now?
- Ruff ruff, ruff ruff
-Looks like the puppy approves. -She's still a puppy?
- Just go with it mom. Now you've both got a job to
do but this is my project and I'm going to handle all
the big stuff. Come on we've got a lot of work to do.
-You did a great job little buddy.- It's really, really spectacular. -Thanks moms.
-What do you say we finish this celebration in the morning?
It's really late.- Good idea. I'll tuck our little pioneer in.
-And I'll tuck in our puppy.
-I can't wait to show Mr. Jenkins.- You should be proud
Jacob it's a great village. -See you after school.
-He reminds me so much of all the things I love about you.
- I think he got the best of both of us.
