give Mom a card for Mother's Day oh why
didn't you tell me this holiday was
coming up me don't you ever look at a
calendar hey half the time I don't know
what country we're in let alone what day
it is at long last a post office I do
hope the abundance of gifts will make up
for their tardiness Nigel your mother
would be happy with a simple card that's
what I got my mom so let me make sure
I'm hearing correctly Sophie insists she
requires nothing more than a card and
you believe her yes
[Music]

wait out here it is my special day after
all

musical Horizons what about your gift

splashes down and those rocks in the
water short are pretty so we're going in
the right direction sure a Funny Story
one time I was at the waterfall and this
wild God was splashing and his
girlfriend says to him hey you're
getting my fat old vet so I say to the
God we're kind of in a hurry Are we
almost there yeah but you can get there
quicker if you go off the road around
the next Bend across that big bridge and
you're there hey let me tell you about
the time this link started to chase a
yak across the bridge thanks gotta run
hmm sometimes I think it would be better
if animals couldn't talk
foreign
where's Little Miss science going I
wonder
for the lovely Mumsy of my wonderful
children
happy Mother's Day dearest oh Nigel how

come on darf we're going on on Darwin's
day there will be no Crossing of bridges
oh and there's Eliza's first boo-boo
look Debbie's first taste of kippers
who makes that face I'm gonna ask but
certainly not least your first Mother's
Day goodness I do believe that was
Sophie's first grandmother's day as well
that was also the first time mom told me
about Mother's intuition I never really
believed in it
but now I'm beginning to think there's
something to it the girls have been gone
a long time and something doesn't feel
right I'm gonna go look for them you
stay here in case they come back
excellent plan Donnie and I will man the
fort
[Music]
we can't climb that yes we can come on
remember what mom taught us feel around
for the Crags and get a good foothold
see it's all in the fingers
oh no girls Eliza Debbie
laughs
and lecture mail order
[Music]
wait till Mom sees this I guess working
together paid off we do make a good team
but I think we need to move up a little
bit no I think we need to move over this
way
I believe we should let me get the gems
because I'm taller but I'm sure we both
agreed it I'm the better climber so I
should get them
[Music]
forget the red green goes with her eyes
[Music]
[Music]
