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
