Alma: "Alma's Yes Day"

Mami: Get ready to roll out, Riveras.

Papi: Today we've got...

Alma: Bomba class?

Papi: Mm mm.

Junior: Soccer?

Mami: Haircuts?

Mmmm... Doctors?

Papi: Hmm. No soccer, haircuts or doctors today.

Mami: I know, we have to go grocery shopping today, right?

Papi: Nope.

Mami: Huh! Nothing on the calendar.

We've got nothing to do today?

Alma: Wha? We always have something on Saturdays.

Junior: Umm, excuse me. What are we gonna do?

Mami: I guess... whatever we want.

Alma: [Gasp]

Family: Oh yeah! Woohoo! i¡Así es!

Alma: Yes!

Yes...? Yes!

That just gave me a sa-weeet idea.

Hey everyone, let's have a Yes Day!

Junior: A what day?

Alma: A Yes Day. We'll say yes to everything and everyone.

Mami: I'm down to try that.

Papi: Can't say '‘no' to a yes day.

Junior: What are we gonna say '‘yes' to first?

Uncle Nestor: Buenos días, my marvelous family!

I'm looking for my bike helmet. Did I leave it here, perhaps?

Papi: Oh, let me look.

Alma: Where are you going, Uncle Nestor?

Uncle Nestor: To promenade with my favorite aquatic friends.

I'm riding to the pond to see the ducks.

Mami/Alma/Junior: Ohhhhhh!

Uncle Nestor: Care to join me?

Family: Yes!

Uncle Nestor: i¡Wepa! I'll go get my bike!

Family: Bye, see you later! Hasta pronto!

Tía Gloria: i¡Hola! My people, mi gente!

Mami: Hey Glo!

Tía Gloria: Hey sis.

Can I borrow some gardening tools?

I'm gonna go help out at the Community Garden.

Tía Gloria: I like it.

Mami: The tools are in the shed, sis. Help yourself!

Tía Gloria: Alright, thank you.

Tía Gloria/Mami: [Chuckle]

Tía Gloria: See ya later at the garden.

Mami: See ya later! Papi: Adios.

Eddie: Hey, anyone wanna go to the drum circle later?

Family: Yes!

Eddie: i¡Chévere! See you there!

Papi: That's a lot of yeses. How are we going to do all this?

Mami: I gotchu.

Okay here's the plan.

First we'll ride to the duck pond with Uncle Nestor.

Papi: And then we'll head over to the garden to meet Tía Gloria.

Mami: Grab drums at home and make our way to the drum circle.

Then back home in time for lunch.

Papi: Yes Day sounds pretty busy. You sure you kids are up for it?

Alma/Junior: Yes!

Alma/Junior: Yes Day, Yes Day, Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Day!

Alma: What's up, ducks? Having a good day?

[Ducks quacking]

Alma: I think that's a '‘yes'[giggle]

Junior: Look, they want us to waddle with them.

Aaaannnnd since it's a Yes Day, we have to say '‘yes!'

Family: Quack! Quack! Quack! [Ducks quacking]

Uncle Nestor: Mmm. Tough audience.

Junior/Alma: [Giggle]

Junior: Oh, can we go see Tía Gloria now, por favor?

Mami: Sure, lez go!

Uncle Nestor: I'm gonna stay here a little longer.

And take a nap on my favorite bench.

But! Please, pass this along to mi amor!

[Blows kisses] Mwah!

Junior: [Giggle] Okay! Alma: You got it!

Uncle Nestor: i¡Muchísimas gracias! I bid you adieu, familia mía!

Papi: See you later! Mami: Bye Nestor.

Uncle Nestor: [Sigh]

Junior: Here we are Tía Gloria.

Tía Gloria: Hey, hey, fam!

You're just in time to get to work.

Alma: Wait! We brought you something from Uncle Nestor.

Alma/Junior: Mwah, mwah, mwah!

Tía Gloria: [Chuckle] Aww! i¡Mi vida!

Alma: And this one's from me. Mwah!

Tía Gloria: Yes, mmm que rico! I'm feelin' the love today!

Now let's show some of that love to the garden.

Come on, people.

Grab gloves, tools, and baskets!

Papi: Before we start, you two need a snack break?

Alma: Yes, but later, please. I'm not hungry right now.

Junior: Later for me too, please!

Tía Gloria: Okay! Anyone up for a little weeding?

Mami/Papi: Yes!

Tía Gloria: And who wants to help pick tomatoes?

Junior: Oh, I do!

I mean, yes! Me!

Tía Gloria: Looks like it's you and me, baby!

Ready to water and pull up some carrots?

Alma: Yes!

Junior: Hey, Alma. Is this a tomato?

Alma: Yes.

Junior: Is that a carrot?

Alma: Umm, yes?

Junior: And is this...

an elephant?

Alma: Uh, no.

Junior: Don't ya mean '‘yes?!' [giggle]

'‘Cuz you gotta say 'yes' on Yes Day! Hahaha!

Alma: Should've seen that coming.

Tía Gloria: Aight, we're done! You sure know how to pick '‘em!

Alma: So does that mean it's time to say yes to drumming?

[Drum noises]

Junior/Mami/Papi: Yes!

Tía Gloria: Have fun at the drum circle.

And give this hug-

-to my Eddie for me, por favor.

Alma: I will.

Mami: Okay, everyone pick a drum and then we'll go meet Eddie.

Alma: I call the bongos!

Junior: I call the cowbell!

Papi: I call the peanut butter!

Alma: [Giggle] That's not a drum.

Papi: I know. But it's been a busy morning.

It's time for lunch.

Alma: Can we keep going?

Alma/Junior: Pleeease?

Mami: Okay, let's pack the sandwiches to eat when we get to the park.

Papi: i¡Buena idea! I'll whip up some PB&J's to go.

Alma/Junior: Yay! Woohoo!

♪♪

Alma: Eddie!

This is from your mom!

Eddie: Whoa, thanks!

C'mon, play with us.

Alma: My sandwich can wait. I'm feeling the beat!

Let's break it down!

[♪♪♪]

[Yawn] Are we good or what?

Mami/Papi: [Yawn]

Alma: Please stop tapping me. Scooch over.

A-hem!

Junior: Has the drum circle always been this loud?

Alma: I can't hear you! The drum circle is too-

LOUD!

Ugh! I'm feeling kinda grumpy.

Wait a minute, maybe it's because I haven't had my sandwich yet.

Papi, I think I'm hungry now.

Papi: Okay, does everyone want to eat?

Mami/Alma/Junior: Yes!

Mami: Ooh, it's been a busy day.

Wanna head home?

Alma: Yes.

I mean, no. I wanna keep saying yes to things.

Junior: Yes! Me too.

Papi: You sure?

Alma/Junior: Mmmhmm!

Mami: Yes, we can do Yes Day for a little longer.

Alma: Yes to more Yes Day!

Beto: Do you want to play hide-and-seek?

Alma/Junior: Yes!

Beto: Great, you hide, I'll seek.

One, two, three, four...

Alma: [Yawn, sigh]

Beto: Tag! You're it. Alma: Huh?

Alma: Huh? What? Huh? I'm awake.

Junior: Alma, do we want to play hopscotch?

Alma: Yes?

Junior: Yes.

Alma: [Yawn]

Junior: Waa, ooouf!

Alma: Oooouch!

Junior: Sorry, Alma.

Alma: It's okay.

It didn't even hurt. Why am I so grumpy?

Water tag?

Junior/Alma: [Sigh] Yes.

Junior: Aww, heeeyy! I'm all wet!

Alma: Well, we are playing water tag.

Yeesh! Junior's really grumpy.

Rafia: Hey Alma! Wanna play soccer?

Alma: Umm...

[Yawns] It's Yes Day so I have to say yes.

Or do I?

[Sigh] I gotta think about this...

Family: Yes!

Alma: Yes!

Alma/Junior/Mami: Yes!

Alma/Junior: Yes!

Alma: That's a whole lotta yeses. I don't know if I wanna say yes again.

[Yawn]

[Yawn]

Beto: Tag! You're it.

Alma: Huh? What? Huh?

Saying yes to everything is way, way, wayyy fun...

but it's also making me way, way, wayyy tired.

Junior: Sooo what are we gonna do?

Mami: I guess... whatever we want.

Alma: Hmm, if we can do whatever we want, then...

I know what to do.

Be right back, Rafia!

Mami, Papi!

Mami: Hey, Almita, we've been talking.

Alma: Well, I've been thinking.

Mami/Alma: We need a break!

Oh! [Giggle]

Alma: Saying yes to everything is a lot harder than I thought.

Mami: Should we go home and rest, Riveras?

Junior: [Snoring]

Alma: [Giggle] I think that's a yes.

Oh, one second, I gotta do something before we go.

Hey, Rafia, I'm too tired to play soccer right now.

Rafia: No problem! We can play another time.

Junior: [Snoring]

Alma: Yes Days are so much fun.

[Yawn]

But right now, I'm ready for a 'No Thank You' Day. [Sigh]

[♪♪♪]

Alma: "Alma's Hypothe-saur"

Junior/Emi: Roar, roar!

[Giggles]

Junior/Emi: Roar, roar, roar!

Alma: Those dinosaurs are loud!

Beto: So Alma. I'm gonna say this will float. '‘Cause it's so light.

Alma: And I think this rock is gonna sink.

'‘Cause it's way, way, wayyy heavy.

Beto/Alma: Yes! Woo-hoo!

Alma: Hmm. What about...

This penny?! You think it'll float or sink?

Emi: Can we play?

Alma: Sure.

What do you think? Float or sink?

Junior: I think...

it'll sink.

'‘Cause it's small, but it's still kinda heavy like a rock.

Emi: Mmm. Uh-uh-uh. It's made of metal.

And so are boats. And they float.

So I think it's gonna float.

Papi: Sounds like you each have...

A hypothesis!

Alma: A what-a-what?

Papi: [chuckle] A hypothesis is a guess.

And you can test out your guess by collecting evidence to support or reject it.

Alma: Sooo Junior's hypothesis is that the penny will sink '‘cause it's heavy.

Emi: And mine is that it will float '‘cause it's metal like a boat.

Papi: Oh, interesting.

So, let's test your hypotheses.

Junior: Sink. Emi: Float.

Junior: Sink. Emi: Float.

Alma: Okay, here we go.

Beto/Alma/Junior: Junior: Yeah, it sunk! Cool! Woo-hoo!

Alma: Yup.

Junior: Just like I thought.

Papi: Nice, Junior. Anyone ready for a snack?

Emi: Roar! Can Tulip the T-Rex have a hamburger, por favor?

Junior: Teri the Triceratops wants one too, please!

She looooves hamburgers.

Emi: Hey! Triceratops only ate plants.

So Teri doesn't eat hamburgers.

Junior: Yeah, she does. She eats meat.

Just like Tulip.

Emi: Mmm, I think triceratops ate plants.

Junior: And I think they ate meat.

Alma: Sounds like you each have...

a hypothesis!

Junior: Papi, can you look up the answer on your phone?

Papi: I could! Orrrr...

We can go investigate at the American Museum of Natural History!

And look for evidence to support or reject your hypotheses.

Junior/Emi/Alma/Beto: [Gasp] [Cheer]

Junior: Hi, Teri's cousin.

Emi: Whooaaa. The horns were sooo big!

Junior: Yeah!

Who's ready to play... Alma: [Drum roll]

triceratops hypothesis!!

Beto: [Announcer voice] Our question is...

Beto:Is Teri the triceratops a broccoli-eating plant eater-

or a hamburger-loving meat eater?

Papi: [Announcer voice] Let's find oouutt!

Emi: Papi, can you help me read about the triceratops?

Mr. Martinez: i¡Claro que sí!

Junior: My Papi, can you take me to see the t-rex, por favor?

Papi: Sure, but don't you want to stay here and learn about the triceratops?

Junior: I think a triceratops was just like a t-rex.

So, I want to read about them.

Papi:[Chuckle]Okay.

Junior: Hmmm...

Hey, I have some evidence!

Alma: What'd you find?

Junior: So, we know that a t-rex was a meat eater, right?

Alma: Right! Beto: Uh-huh...

Junior: Well, I saw that a t-rex had hands with sharp claws.

So maybe they used their claws for catching meat?

Alma: Maybe... Beto: Could be.

Junior: So, if a triceratops had sharp claws too, then it was a meat eater.

Show Emi this and see if a triceratops had claws on its feet.

Alma: We're on it!

Junior: Wait!

Let me show you more evidence!

A t-rex had big sharp teeth. Like this!

[Snarls]

Papi: Sharp teeth are good for eating meat.

Beto: So you think a triceratops would've had the same kind of teeth?

Junior: That's what I'm thinking.

Please give this to Emi too.

Alma: You got it! Beto: Sure!

Papi: I'll let Mr. Martinez know you're coming.

Alma: Hey, Emi!

Emi: Uh-huh?

Alma: Did a triceratops have sharp claws like this?

Emi: Nope, no claws. But they did have short legs.

Alma: Hmmm...

if a triceratops's legs were short, that means it was close to the ground.

Beto: Maybe so it could eat grass and stuff from the ground?

Emi: I think so.

Beto: Okay, but, did a triceratops have big sharp teeth like this?

Emi: Well, my Papi read a sign to me

that said triceratops had lots and lots of small teeth.

So they could mash and mush their food, like this!

[Mmm nom nom nom]

Alma/Beto: [Giggle]

Emi: Please give my evidence to Junior.

Alma: Gotcha!

Emi: Buuuut... Beto: Whooaa!

Emi: A triceratops had horns.

So maaaaybe those were used for catching meat.

I don't know.

Alma: Anything else?

Emi: Uh-uh!

Mr. Martinez: I'll text your Papi, Alma!

The Almasaurus and Betosaurus Rex are headed your way.

Alma: Evidence from Emi.

Beto: Look, no sharp claws.

Alma: But horns maybe for catching meat?

Beto: And lots of small teeth for mushing food down, like this...

Beto/Alma: [Nom nom nom nom]

Junior: Interesting.

Papi: So, you think we've collected enough evidence to figure this out?

Beto: Hmm!

Alma: Hmmmm...

Beto: What do you think, Alma?

Alma: Hmmm... maaaaybe? I don't know.

I gotta think about this...

Papi: A hypothesis is a guess.

And you can test your guess by collecting evidence to support or reject it.

Alma: Well, we've collected some evidence in the museum.

Emi: Nope, no claws. But they did have short legs.

Triceratops had lots and lots of small teeth.

So they could mash and mush their food like this

[Mmm nom nom nom nom]

Alma: Hmm, but we still don't know what kinds of food a triceratops ate.

Junior: A t-rex had big sharp teeth.

Papi: Sharp teeth are good for eating meat.

Alma: Okay, so, a t-rex had sharp teeth, and a triceratops had small teeth.

Oh! But were a triceratops' teeth sharp like a t-rex's?

I know what to do!

Hey Beto, we gotta look at the triceratops' teeth.

Beto: Yeah!

Alma: If triceratops teeth were sharp like a t-rex, then that means it ate meat.

Alma/Beto: [Announcer voice] Let's fiiind oouutt!

Junior: Hmm, they're not sharp.

Beto: [Announcer voice] I think we have our answer!

Alma: A triceratops didn't have sharp teeth.

So, we think Teri the triceratops is a plant eater!

Beto: And if she only eats plants then she wouldn't eat a hamburger.

Papi: [Announcer voice] Ding, ding, ding ding! That is correct!

Emi: Yes, I knew it!

Junior: Awww...

Good job, Emi. You really know your dinos.

Emi: Thanks, Junior! You do too.

Junior: Um, excuse me. I have another hypothesis.

Mr. Martinez: What is it?

Junior: T-rexes are big, but they had teeny, tiny arms.

I think my whole body is bigger than a t-rex's arm.

Alma/Beto: [Announcer voice] Let's fiiind oouutt!

Alma: A little higher.

Mr. Martinez/Alma/ Beto: Hmmm...

Emi: Junior, you're bigger than its arm!

Junior: Woohoo!

Beto: I want to make a hypothesis too.

I think the horn of a triceratops is the same size as a walrus's tusk.

Everyone: [Announcer voice] Let's! Find! Oouutt!

Mr. Martinez: It says that a walrus tusk is around inches.

So like this long.

Papi: And a triceratops horn is about this long.

Hmm.

Beto: So a triceratops horn is longer than a walrus's tusk.

Alma: Uh huh!

Emi: Hey! I have a new hypothesis.

Papi told me that all adult walruses have tusks.

So I think all adult elephants have tusks too.

Everyone:[Announcer voice] Let's! Find! Oouutt!

Beto: It doesn't say anything about their tusks.

So how are we gonna figure this out?

Mr. Martinez: Maybe we can ask someone who knows.

Alma: Excuse me! Can we ask you a question?

Museum Guide: I'd love that!

Emi: Do all adult elephants have tusks?

Museum Guide: That's a great question! If you're asking about African elephants, like these...

Then, most adult elephants grow tusks.

Kids: Wow! Cool! Interesting!

Alma: Thank you!

Museum Guide: Sure, of course!

[Junior's tummy grumbles]

Junior: My tummy's grumbling.

Emi: Ya, my mouth is dry.

Beto: Same and same.

Alma: Hmmm... I have a hypothesis!

My hypothesis is...

it's time for lunch.

Beto: Yeah it is. Emi: Uh-huh!

Papi: [Chuckle] You're right! Who wants to go home?

I'll make three-cheese grilled cheese sandwiches.

[Kids cheer]

Junior: Teri would like some broccoli, please! She loves plants.

Emi: And Tulip would like a hamburger! She loves meat.

Emi/Junior: Roar, roar!

Papi: You got it!

Alma: My new hypothesis is that a grilled cheese sandwich will be dee-licious!

Time to eat the evidence!
