lot more so it stirred up real

good okay it's flip

time hey man I'm like flipping out hey

this is

great I can't believe my friends are

leaving me out like

[Music]

this

[Music]

oo it's not

fair Leon Leon but what's the

matter these pancakes were my idea and

my grandmother's recipe and I wanted to

show you how to make them but you guys

did

everything yeah but Leon we did

everything together I mean that's the

point right guys mm but you didn't let

me help I wanted to show you guys how to

make them but you wouldn't let me do

anything you left me

out so angry at you I could

cry a leon don't be such a cry

baby cry

baby Leon

Leon

Le I mean right

[Music]

I mean

right hey I thought we made more

pancakes than

[Music]

that I don't get it guys why was Leon

crying the pancakes are turning out fine

isn't that the important thing well Ben

I think Leon wanted to show us how to

make the pancakes and and we didn't let

him we ignored him and we did everything

ourselves yeah but Julie getting upset

about not cooking pancakes isn't

anything to cry

about I don't know Ben you can't really

say that people cry over all all kinds

of

things it makes me cry when I fight with

my brother I cry when people laugh at me

I cry when I see terrible things that

happen around the world when I was

younger I used to have scary dreams and

that's what made me cry I was riding my

bike and then I my friend bumped into my

tire and then I fell down and sced my

knee and then I cried if something

happened to my cat I probably would cry

my brother teaches me and it makes me

want to

cry well I don't care what those kids

say I still think Leon's a

crybaby Ben that's terrible come on

Julie what's the big deal so we made the

pancakes instead of Leon you know all I

know is if me and my brothers acted that

way every time one of us took something

from the others why we'd be crying all

the time

yeah Skye

Sky you don't think Leon is a crybaby do

you well Julie Leon's one of my best

friends but um I don't think boys are

supposed to cry even if their feelings

are really

hurt you guys are so

mean jul

[Music]

Sky look at the

pancakes they're

gone oh

Leon Guess Who and win the secret

prize what do you want

Julie I want to cheer you up how'd you

know it was me Julie do you think I'm a

crybaby

too no

Leon and I think it was mean of Ben to

say that I think we were all mean it was

your idea to show us how to make your

grandma's pancakes and and we left you

out we weren't very nice no you weren't

that's right but but we didn't do it on

purpose we were just excited about the

pancakes I

I'm

sorry no no come downstairs the pancakes

are

good I mean I mean they're not as good

as as if you had made them but they're

Julie forget it you go

downstairs come on Leon I told Ben and

sky that you weren't a crybaby so Sky

thinks I'm a crybaby too huh

great but

[Music]

and Leon says he won't come downstairs

he's hurt because we wouldn't let him

show us how to make the pancakes and

he's embarrassed because you guys called

him a cry baby yeah but Julie everybody

knows that boys and men don't cry yeah

that's right Julie the whole thing about

being boys and men is that you don't cry

crying's for uh girls and women and

little

babies um um Ben is this all we made H I

thought there would be

more yeah me too boy isn't that funny

weird excuse me yeah have either of you

two big strong men ever heard of Paul

bunan oh yeah Paul bun Paul bun he was a

big man big man big well did you also

know that he once cried for days and

days Paul bunion crying no way

impossible impossible you said well

listen to

this many years ago there was a big

strong Lumberjack named Paul

[Music]

bunan Timber

everyone liked Paul especially his

faithful Blue Ox

babe wherever Paul went babe went they

were best

friends then one day babe became ill

even though Paul was the biggest

strongest man

around he could do nothing to help

babe Paul felt so bad that he began to

cry

he cried so hard that soon the whole

valy was

flooded Paul knew he had to do something

about the flood so he stopped crying

long enough to dig a

[Music]

hole that should do it

[Music]

now I can cry some

more but the next morning babe felt

better it turns out that babe just had a

24-hour flu accompanied by a pesky

ingrown

toenail babe you're better that's

wonderful Paul's tears became the Great

Salt Lake and he and babe lived happily

ever after babe you're the

[Music]

greatest

W I've never seen such a big man cry

before me neither makes you stop and

think yeah you know you're right sky and

Julie I have to hand it to you I really

learned something great Ben what' you

learn well I learned that even though

Leon is a crybaby that it's okay right

and you know what I'm going to go and

tell Leon that right now but want to

come with me yeah let's go okay Sky you

not oh poor Leon

about the pancakes yeah uh I'm sorry I

took over I wouldn't have taken over if

I've known you were going to cry about

it what well Leon I'm trying to say I'm

sorry you know certain people are

crybabies about certain things well and

plenty of reasons to be upset

you must feel terrible about crying in

front of us like that yeah but Sky lots

of boys

cry yeah but that doesn't make it right

mhm I mean my uncles well they told me

because men and boys do not cry well
