you've been waking upCopy !req
48. to do yoga with me.Copy !req
49. Are you kidding?Copy !req
50. Rubella's missing out.Copy !req
51. This is better than
sleeping an extra hour.Copy !req
52. Plus, the yoga really helps me
with my Soupitch matches.Copy !req
53. I've been getting
the bouillon cubeCopy !req
54. twice as often
as Marina.Copy !req
55. No idea what that means,Copy !req
56. but I'll take
your word for it.Copy !req
57. Take that, worthy opponent.Copy !req
58. Don't even think about it.Copy !req
59. This time,
the cube is mine.Copy !req
60. Marina!Copy !req

62. That's amazing.Copy !req
63. You're in hanumanasana.Copy !req

65. Hanumanasana—
it's a yoga pose.Copy !req
66. You're doing it
almost perfectly.Copy !req
67. I am?Copy !req
68. You should do yoga
with my mom and me.Copy !req
69. You're a natural.Copy !req
70. I don't know.Copy !req
71. I've never done
yoga before.Copy !req
72. I don't want
to embarrass
myself.Copy !req
73. You can't be bad at yoga.Copy !req
74. But can it protect youCopy !req
75. from the dreaded claw
of Lord Moldywort?Copy !req
76. Is there room
for one moreCopy !req
77. on that grass?Copy !req
78. Marina!Copy !req
79. I didn't think you'd come.Copy !req
80. It's okay if she joins us,
isn't it, Mom?Copy !req
81. Of course.Copy !req
82. I'll just go get
another mat.Copy !req
83. You promise you won't
laugh if I mess up?Copy !req
84. Relax, Marina.Copy !req
85. It's just my mom and me.Copy !req
86. Now bring your left foot forward
between your handsCopy !req
87. and then reach to the sky.Copy !req
88. Mom, look at Marina's
Warrior One pose.Copy !req
89. Mom, look at Marina's
Warrior One pose.Copy !req
90. Can you believe this is
her first time?Copy !req
91. Prunella was right—Copy !req

a natural.Copy !req
93. Now bring your back foot forward
alongside your front foot,Copy !req

95. bringing your hands back down
to the mat.Copy !req
96. I love yoga.Copy !req
97. I was practicing right up
until bedtime last night.Copy !req
98. And your mom isCopy !req
99. such a good teacher.Copy !req
100. Yep, she's the best.Copy !req
101. I mean, my mom and I
do things together,Copy !req
102. like quilting,Copy !req
103. but it's not the same
as doing yoga.Copy !req
104. but it's not the same
as doing yoga.Copy !req
105. You're so lucky.Copy !req
106. Your mom's giving
a yoga class?Copy !req
107. Can I join?Copy !req
108. No.Copy !req
109. Oh, please?Copy !req
110. All the stars
are doing yoga.Copy !req
111. My mom's not giving
a class, Muffy.Copy !req
112. It's just something
we do for fun.Copy !req
113. Come on, Marina.Copy !req
114. But I've found
the perfect outfit for it!Copy !req
115. See?Copy !req
116. It's retro chic.Copy !req
117. Muffy doing yoga—Copy !req
118. now, there's
a funny thought.Copy !req
119. now, there's
a funny thought.Copy !req
120. Yeah.Copy !req
121. But if anybody
could teach her,Copy !req
122. it would be your mom.Copy !req
123. Upward Dog,
into Downward Dog again.Copy !req
124. Well, Marina,Copy !req
125. I think you've gotten the hang
of the Sun Salutation.Copy !req
126. You're starting
to improve a little.Copy !req
127. Now, let's meditate a little
in the Half-Lotus position.Copy !req
128. Sit down and put one foot
on top of the opposite thigh.Copy !req
129. Sit down and put one foot
on top of the opposite thigh.Copy !req

133. That's great, Pruney.Copy !req
134. Do you want to try
Full Lotus, Marina?Copy !req
135. Just bring
your other footCopy !req
136. up on top of
your other thigh.Copy !req
137. Like this?Copy !req
138. Exactly.Copy !req
139. Nicely done.Copy !req
140. Prunella, what are you doing?Copy !req
141. Be careful!Copy !req
142. Be careful!Copy !req
143. Just... trying something new.Copy !req
144. Come out of that pose
right away.Copy !req
145. You could injure
yourself.Copy !req
146. What's she doing?Copy !req
147. She's got a foot
behind her head and...Copy !req
148. Ow! Ow!Copy !req
149. I think I'm stuck.Copy !req
150. Get me out.Copy !req
151. I'm trying, Prunella.Copy !req

196. You're so good at this.Copy !req
197. Ow!Copy !req
198. I wish my mom would do
quilting with me,Copy !req
199. but— ow!-- she's all thumbs.Copy !req
200. Would you like
another thimble, Prunella?Copy !req
201. Yes, please.Copy !req
202. And my needle came
unthreaded again.Copy !req
203. Prunella,
there you are.Copy !req
204. Why weren't you at yoga
this morning?Copy !req
205. I just didn't feel like it.Copy !req
206. Marina, you are so lucky.Copy !req
207. Marina, you are so lucky.Copy !req
208. Your mom is such
a good quilting teacher.Copy !req
209. Oh, I'm not so sure
about that.Copy !req
210. Not bad, Prunella,Copy !req
211. but try making the stitches

212. Keep your other hand
on the seamCopy !req
213. to help guide you.Copy !req
214. Needle, Mom.Copy !req

219. My mom gave it to me.Copy !req
220. I have to go.Copy !req
221. I have to go.Copy !req
222. What about your quilt?Copy !req

225. anyway.Copy !req
226. Hey, I was just
about to make a call.Copy !req
227. Sorry, I touched it first.Copy !req
228. I'll just be
a minute.Copy !req
229. Privacy, please.Copy !req
230. Hello, Mrs. Datillo?Copy !req
231. No, you don't have
to get Marina,Copy !req
232. but could I leave
a message?Copy !req
233. Could you tell herCopy !req
234. Could you tell herCopy !req
235. that my mom
can't do yoga anymore?Copy !req
236. Yeah, she, um...
pulled a muscle.Copy !req
237. Thanks.Copy !req
238. Mom, why aren't you
dressed yet?Copy !req
239. I don't feel like
doing yoga today.Copy !req
240. Granola?Copy !req
241. No.Copy !req
242. I really wanted
to do yoga.Copy !req
243. You're good enough
to do it on your own.Copy !req
244. You don't need me.Copy !req
245. Yes, I do.Copy !req
246. That's the whole reason I...Copy !req
247. That's the whole reason I...Copy !req
248. Told Mrs. Datillo
Mom had pulled a muscle?Copy !req
249. Ha!Copy !req
250. Busted.Copy !req
251. You were eavesdropping.Copy !req
252. So?Copy !req
253. That's not as bad
as lying.Copy !req
254. Okay, you two,
that's enough.Copy !req
255. I'm going back
to bed.Copy !req
256. My work here
is done.Copy !req
257. I'm sorry.Copy !req
258. I don't know why I lied.Copy !req
259. I guess I just wanted things
to be like they wereCopy !req
260. before Marina
joined us.Copy !req
261. But she's
your best friend.Copy !req
262. I thought you wanted
her to join us.Copy !req
263. I thought you wanted
her to join us.Copy !req
264. Yeah, but I didn't want her
to steal my mom.Copy !req
265. Pruney,Copy !req
266. as much as I like Marina,
she's not my daughter.Copy !req
267. I will never love her
as much as I love you.Copy !req
268. So, can't we do
some yoga now?Copy !req
269. Just you and me?Copy !req
270. I have something
a little different in mind.Copy !req
271. Okay, everybody, welcome.Copy !req
272. I'm so glad you're all here
to try yoga with us.Copy !req
273. I think you all know
my assistant teacher.Copy !req
274. And if you want to see a pose
demonstrated perfectly,Copy !req
275. And if you want to see a pose
demonstrated perfectly,Copy !req
276. watch Marina.Copy !req
277. Excuse me.Copy !req
278. How long will it take us
before we have abs of steel?Copy !req
279. One step
at a time, Muffy.Copy !req
280. We'll start with
simple poses,Copy !req
281. like Downward Dog.Copy !req
282. Bring your hands
down to the mat,Copy !req
283. and bring your
front foot backCopy !req
284. alongside your
back foot.Copy !req
285. Woof, woof, woof,
woof, woof, woof!Copy !req
286. Pruney, your special student
needs assistance.Copy !req
287. Breathe, D.W.Copy !req
288. Don't bark, breathe.Copy !req
289. And now...Copy !req
290. I'm Maya, and this isCopy !req
291. my sister,
Rosie.Copy !req
292. This is my mom, Carol.Copy !req
293. I'm Carol, and we're at Artbeat.Copy !req
294. And basically,
it's an art storeCopy !req
295. where you pick
different art projectsCopy !req
296. that you want to do.Copy !req
297. It's something
we do together a lot.Copy !req
298. I think it's fun to have my mom
like to do art projects with me.Copy !req
299. We appreciate
what each other's doingCopy !req
300. and get excited about it.Copy !req
301. I just finished my mosaic frog.Copy !req
302. Looks great, Rosie.Copy !req
303. I start with a wick, right?Copy !req
304. Fold it up.Copy !req
305. Okay.Copy !req
306. It's important for parents
and kids to do stuff togetherCopy !req
307. so they can hang out together.Copy !req
308. so they can hang out together.Copy !req
309. My name is Esmé,
this is Rumney Rock,Copy !req

with my mom.Copy !req
311. On belay.Copy !req
312. Climbing.
Climb away.Copy !req
313. We're going to help each other.Copy !req
314. First my mom's
going to belay me.Copy !req
315. When you belay someone,
it means when you hold the rope.Copy !req
316. Esmé is a really
a good communicator.Copy !req
317. I can feel that
you're holding me tight.Copy !req
318. So we have a really good
climbing relationship.Copy !req
319. So we have a really good
climbing relationship.Copy !req
320. My mom belayed me.Copy !req
321. Now we'll do the same thing
except for the opposite.Copy !req
322. Esmé wants to belay me.Copy !req
323. We'll see if she's heavy enough
to keep me safe.Copy !req
324. She might go flying up
in the air when I come down.Copy !req
325. I'm responsible for my mom now.Copy !req
326. I totally trust Esmé.Copy !req
327. Mom, do you need more slack?Copy !req
328. No, thanks—
slack makes me kind of nervous.Copy !req
329. We enjoy sharing
the responsibilityCopy !req
330. and even the risk
and the challenge.Copy !req
331. I just belayed my mom.Copy !req
332. I just belayed my mom.Copy !req
333. And now...Copy !req

393. Brain is so conceited.Copy !req
394. "Boring," he says,
