[Chacho barking]
JUNIOR: Steady...
This way.
PAPI: Whoa!
MAMI: Whoa!
PAPI: Ay!
[Chacho barking]
ALMA: Everyone's coming over
for a cookout in our backyard.
Papi's grilling and
the food is gonna be...
Muaw! Delicioso!
ABUELO: Alma!
I just found a box of my
old stuff from Puerto Rico.
ABUELO: Ohh,
my lucky coin!
Here, Alma.
You can have it.
ALMA: Cool!
Gracias, Abuelo.
MAMI: Oooh.
Whew.
ABUELO: Rubén,
you can have this...
[ chuckles ]
ALMA: Was that
your apron?
ABUELO: Yep, I always used
it for our family's cookouts.
PAPI: [efforts]
[chuckles]
Gracias! I love it.
PAPI: What do you
think, Lulú?
It looks good on
me, right?
MAMI: [chuckles] If you really
want to know what I think...
It's way too small.
I like the one
you usually wear.
PAPI: Ah, I can always
count on you...
to tell me exactly
what you think.
Gracias, mi vida.
Muaw.
ALMA: [chuckles]
Definitely too small!
MAMI: Ooo, that's Abuela
Cecilia's tablecloth.
She made it herself.
ALMA: [gasp]
ABUELO: [gasp]
ABUELO: Increíble! It's my
Mami's recipe book!
ALMA: El Famoso
Mofongo de Cecilia.
ABUELO: This is her famous
recipe for mofongo!
ALMA: Mofongo?!
Mmm, mashed plantains mixed
with all sorts of good stuff.
So yummy!
Was Abuela Cecilia's
mofongo really famous?
ABUELO: Oh, your
great-grandmother...
was a fantastic
cook, Alma.
And people from all
around our neighborhood...
came over when she
made her mofongo.
Ohhh, I'd love to
taste it again.
MAMI: I'll make it
for the cookout.
ABUELO: Really?!
You're a great cook
but your mofongo is,
ah... um, not your best
dish, [chuckles] m'hija.
[chuckles]
MAMI: No problem!
I'll just follow Abuela
Cecilia's recipe.
ABUELO: Well okay!
I can't wait! My mami's mofongo
is going to be amazing!
[giggles]
ABUELO: [sing-songy]
Mofongo, mofongo...
MAMI: [laughs]
ALMA: [laughs]
MAMI: [sing-songy]
Smash the plátanos,
smash them all
day long.
Smash smash the plátanos
while I sing this song.
ALMA: So, is it a "go" or
a "no go" on the mofongo?
MAMI: Hmm... I'm not
sure if this is how...
Abuela Cecilia's recipe
is supposed to taste.
But I guess it's ready.
It's a go for
the mofongo!
MAMI: Okay, on to the next
thing on my cookout list.
ABUELO: Mmm!
Smells like
mofongo in here!
[chuckles]
ABUELO: Ahhh...
something's off with
the flavor.
Maybe it needs
more garlic.
ABUELO: Alma, hey, I'm
heading to the store.
I'll be back in time
for the cookout!
ALMA: Uh-oh, did Abuelo say the
mofongo doesn't taste right?
I gotta see...
ALMA: Blech, it
does taste funny,
it's a no go on
this mofongo!
I've got to
tell Mami.
ALMA: Mami!
MAMI: One moment, Alma.
MAMI: Did Ruben
get the cups...
MAMI: Oh, I gotta
get the ice.
ALMA: Mami?
MAMI: [sigh]
ALMA: Mami?
MAMI: This ice is heavier
than I thought.
ALMA: I should tell Mami what
I think about her mofongo,
but she's so busy.
She doesn't have
time to fix it...
But I do!
I can fix it for her!
ALMA: Let's see...
Abuelo mentioned that
it needs more garlic,
so...
Garlic, comin' right up!
[♪♪♪]
ALMA: Blech!
Should it taste
like this?!
Maybe it's just me?
I need a second
opinion...
JUNIORRR!!!
Junior loooves
mofongo.
JUNIOR: [singy-songy]
Go, go, mofongo!
Go, go, mofongo!
Ooh, the mofongo!
Can I taste it?
ALMA: Yup!
ALMA: Is it a "go" or "no go"
on the mofongo?
JUNIOR: Blech!
No go. No gooo!
Gah! I gotta brush my teeth.
ALMA: Oh no!
Everyone thinks Mami's mofongo
is going to taste great.
I really need to
fix this!
ALMA: Hmmm, some
pork grinds...
[♪♪♪]
ALMA: Blech!
Nope.
Hmm...
[♪♪♪]
[Chacho barks]
ALMA: Whoops!
[Chacho barks]
[sniffing]
[growling]
ALMA: Oh, come on!
It can't be that bad...
ALMA: Blech, Blech,
Double Super Blech!
[cough]
ALMA: Mami's going to be so
upset if everyone thinks
her mofongo tastes bad.
MAMI: [ humming ]
ALMA: [gasp] Mami!
She's coming!
MAMI: How are those
napkins coming along?
ALMA: Great!
MAMI: Great! People are
already here for the cookout.
I'll be right back
for the mofongo.
ALMA: Ay, no!
I can't let Mami take
the mofongo outside.
I've got to fix
this... now!
MAMI: Lista, Almita?
ALMA: Ah!
I need more time to
figure out what to do.
ALMA: Wait!
Ummm... Have you seen
Junior's mofongo dance?
He's going to
perform it.
Now!
JUNIOR: Ummm...?
[sing-songy]
Go, go, mofongo!
Go, go, mofongo!
MAMI: I love it!!
I'll back you
up, Junior...
JUNIOR: Go, go, mofongo!
MAMI: Smash the plátanos...
JUNIOR: Go, go, mofongo!
MAMI: ...smash them all
day long,
TÍA GLORIA: Uh...
Is it time to eat yet?
JUNIOR: ...mofongo!
ALMA: Junior why don't
you teach Tía Gloria...
your mofongo dance?
PAPI: Hola!
Come on in!
MAMI: Maybe later, Alma.
It's time for
the cookout!
ALMA: Wait!!
ALMA: Uhh... Wouldn't it be
sooooo great to serve...
Abuela Cecilia's
famous mofongo
on Abuela Cecilia's
tablecloth?
TÍA GLORIA: Yeah, that
would be really nice.
MAMI: Yeah,
good idea, Alma.
I'll go get it!
ALMA: Can you set
these on the table?
JUNIOR: Okay.
ALMA: Thanks
TÍA GLORIA: I'll
help you, Junior.
ALMA: Mami's going to
be back any second.
ALMA: Everyone's
already here for dinner...
and I've made Mami's
Mofongo worse.
I don't know
what to do.
[sigh] I gotta
think about this...
ALMA: I tried to talk to
Mami, but she was busy.
ALMA: Mami?
MAMI: This ice is heavier
than I thought.
ALMA: So I decided to fix
the mofongo myself...
But I only made
it waaay worse.
JUNIOR: Gah!
No go. No gooo!
Gah! I gotta
brush my teeth.
ALMA: But what should
I have done instead?
PAPI: Ah, I can always
count on you...
to tell me exactly
what you think.
ALMA: Hmm... Papi was
happy when Mami told him
what she really thought...
I should have waited
'til Mami wasn't busy...
and told her what I
thought of her mofongo
instead of trying
to fix it myself.
I know what to do.
MAMI: Time for
the cookout.
Let's go!
ALMA: Waaait!
ALMA: The mofongo is not
ready for the cookout!
I repeat.
It's no go on
the mofongo!!
MAMI: What do
you mean Alma?
ALMA: Abuelo said the
mofongo needed something,
but you were busy.
I tried to help, but I
made it taste bleech!
MAMI: You did?
MAMI: [gulp]
You did...
ALMA: I'm really
sorry Mami.
MAMI: It's ok.
Thanks for trying
to help.
Come here, Almita.
ALMA: Everyone is so
excited about the mofongo.
But now it's ruined.
MAMI: Well then,
let's try to save it!
ALMA: Really?
MAMI: But I'm going to
need your help to tell me
if it's a go or a no
go on the mofongo.
[♪♪♪]
[Chacho barking]
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
ALMA: It's a go for
the mofongo!
JUNIOR: Go, go,

prank to play on you.
You'll love it!
ALMA: Oooh, so you want
to prank each other?
Okay, I'm in!
My prank has to be even
funnier than Eddie's.
I just have to think of
something good...
ALMA: Would it be funny
if I filled his drum...
with sweaty socks?
Get it, Sweat Sox?
ABUELO: Hmm, not everyone
thinks sweaty socks are funny.
ABUELO: When I prank your Papi,
I make sure he's having fun.
Mira, here he comes.
Watch and learn
from el maestro.
PAPI: Uh, has anyone
seen my baseball cap?
ABUELO: Have you...
checked the closet?
PAPI: Ah, claro, right.
Good thinking.

EDDIE: Ack!
ALMA: No, no, no!
Wait!
EDDIE: Ah!
EDDIE: I'm done!
Hmph.
ALMA: Sheesh, Eddie
looks so mad.
I didn't mean for
that to happen.
I just wanted
to have fun.
ABUELO: Qué pasó,
Alma?
ALMA: I don't know.
Eddie and I were having so
much fun pranking each other,
but now he's all mad.
ABUELO: Really?
Were you both
having fun?
ALMA: I thought so,
but...
I just don't get it.
I gotta think
about this...
ALMA: I thought my pranks
were pretty funny,
but did Eddie think so..?
EDDIE: Hahaha!
You got me good.
ALMA: Yeah! He laughed
at my first prank...
so I did another one...
SFX BOX: Go Sweat Sox!
ALMA: [ laughs ]
EDDIE: I'm done
with the pranking.
ALMA: Hmm, he did say
he was done playing,
but... my balloon prank
was hi-lar-i-ous, right?
EDDIE: I'm done.
EDDIE: Hmph!
ALMA: Ohhh! He did not look
like he was having fun.
I know what to do.
[thunder crashes]
ALMA: This is not
gonna be easy...
[sigh] Hey, Eddie.
I, uh, are you mad?
EDDIE: I still have
glitter all over me!
See!? [blows]
ALMA: Yup.
He's mad.
I'm really sorry I kept
pranking you.
I should have stopped because
you weren't having fun anymore.
EDDIE: Yeah, I was
mad but...
I know you're sorry.
So, we're good,
