Bedtime stories with Netflix Junior. Go, go, Corey Carson. Where's my yawn?
Hi, Freddy. Are you ready for sliding down the ultimate speedometer busting, turbo boosting, fender bending slide in all of Bumperton Hills? The tall slide of the playground? Yeah! I've been looking forward to this day ever since I was in training wheels, Cory. Me too. Feels pretty good to be all grown up. Am I right, Frederic?
Feels great to be grown up. Bye, Mom! I'll finish my moo moo juice and my nummy num nums when I get back. What do you think it's gonna feel like sliding down the tall slide, Cory? Franny told me you go so fast, it feels like your windshield is melting off your face. Cool!
Here we are, Freddy. The ultimate speedometer busting, turbo boosting, fender bending, construction tape and cones? What? The playground's closed for construction?
Hey look! Kimmy and Timmy and Mr. and Mrs. O'Toole are building something in there. Maybe they're making an even taller slide? Aw man, there goes a great plan to ride down the tall slide. Now what are we gonna do? Yonzoontite! Huh? You know how you say gazoontite when someone sneezes?
Yeah? Well, no one ever says anything when someone yawns. I'm trying something new. Saying yawn-zoon-tight seems like... Yawn-zoon-tight! Whoa, Freddy! I gave you my yawn! What? How'd that happen? Yawns are catchy. When somebody yawns, somebody else always catches it. Oh, yeah! I guess I caught your yawn, Cory. Yeah, cool.
Okay, Freddy. I'm ready to get my yawn back. Huh? What do you mean? Well, I gave you my yawn, but I need it back now. I might need it later. Oh, got it. But how do I give it back? Easy. Just yawn and I'll catch it. Remember, yawns are catchy. Okay. Here goes. Ow!
Uh, Cory, um, your yawn's not coming out. I think it's stuck inside me. Uh-oh. Well, maybe you'll be feeling tired soon?
I don't think so. I went to bed early last night and I had a really healthy breakfast. Oh no, if you can't yawn, Freddy, then I might never get my yawn back. What should we do, Cory? Let's ask Papa. He yawns all the time. I think he's actually a professional yawner. Come on, Freddy. Oh good, everyone's outside doing yard work. Hi, Papa. Hi, Papa. Hi, Papa.
Hi, Freddy. We have a lawn question for you. A lawn expert. Not a lawn. A what? Maybe cut the lawnmower. Maybe what? I said cut the lawnmower. No need to shout. Hi, Freddy. This is for you. Ooh, a pile of grass clippings. Thanks, Chrissy. Not grass clippings. Grass cake.
Nom, nom, nom, nom. So, you have a lawn question, Cory? A yawn question, Papa. My yawn is stuck inside of Freddy, and the only way to get it out is if he yawns. I've been trying to yawn all day, but nothing's happening. Hmm, sounds serious. Have you tried the fake yawn trick? What's the fake yawn trick?
The idea is if you do a fake yawn, it'll make a real yawn come out. Give it a try. Yawn! Huh? That's all you got? Move over, boys. Let the expert show you how it's done. Pretty good, huh? Uh, no. Check this out. Oh!
Did it work, Freddy? Do you feel like yawning? Let me try. Nope. Nothing. All this talk about yawning is... making me sleepy. How come Papa can yawn but Freddy can't? Years of experience. I'm going in the house for a little snooze. Good thinking.
I say it's time for a family nap. Come on, Chrissy. Good luck getting your yawn back, Cory. Bye, Freddy.
Freddy, did you notice that talking about yawns made everyone else yawn? Uh-huh. So all we have to do is talk about yawns to make you yawn. We can make up a whole yawn story so I can get my yawn back. Good thinking, Cory. I'll start. Once upon a time, there was a yawn. And the yawn was very sleepy. So we decided to get...
Ice cream from Eileen Ice Cream Truck. Ice cream? You don't get ice cream when you're sleepy, Freddy. I know, but who doesn't love ice cream? Hmm, true. Come on, Cory. Let's find Eileen. This way. She's over there now. Now she's over there. I think she's this way.
We'll never catch her. We'll have ice cream a different day. Well, cold ice cream wakes me up anyway. Warm things like soup make me sleepy. Soup? We have tons of soup at home. Come on, Freddy. We'll get that yawn out with warm soup. Mama? Mama? Wake up! Huh? I'm up. Oh, hi, Cory and Freddy. Freddy?
What's up? I mean, besides me. Huh? How come everyone else can yawn so easy? Grown-ups are experts at being tired all the time. Mama, can you please make Freddy some warm soup to make him sleepy? Sure, kiddo. Two soups coming right up. Why don't you head out to play while I get it ready? Okay, come on, Freddy. There's some pillowy clouds in the sky we can look at. Ah.
This grass is soft and cozy, like a warm green blanket. Right, Freddy? Uh, yeah.
And it smells exactly like summer. Check out that cloud drifting by. It looks like Dr. Wiperglass with a football helmet on. That one looks like Gary Garbage on a pogo stick. Ooh, that one looks like Ping, Billy Bus, and Mrs. Motors jumping on an olive and cream cheese sandwich. That one looks like Hallie.
Freddy, that is Hallie. Oh, yeah. Hi, Hallie. Looking at clouds is so peaceful, Cory. I feel like I'm getting drowsy. Drowsy means tired, Freddy. Let the yawn out. Just let it go. Let it... Soup's on! Aw, Papa. Ah!
Chrissy, try to sip your soup. Sip soup? Good enough. How about some nice, quiet, peaceful music to go with our nice, relaxing soup? Ah, warm soup and soft music. Perfect for... You did it, Freddie! You yawned! Did you catch your yawn back? I don't know. I don't feel anything yet.
Chrissy! That yawn was supposed to be from me! Uh oh, Cory. I think Chrissy got your yawn from Freddy and I got it from Chrissy! Who did you give the yawn to, Mama? I don't know. Who has it? I don't have it. Not me! I don't have it either! Oh no! Where'd my yawn go? It must be around here somewhere! Don't worry, Cory. Yawns always turn up at night. You just need to be patient.
I better get home. All this "making me tired" stuff today has really made me tired. Let me know when you get your own back, Cory! I'm on the edge of my seat! Okay... Bye, Freddy. Alright, Cory. Time for bed. Did you wash your face and brush your teeth? Yes, Mama. Hey, what's wrong, kiddo?
I can't believe the whole day went by without any sign of my yawn. What if it flew out the window and never comes back? Well, I happen to know a pretty special way to get yawns to come back. Since I love you so much, I think I can fill you in. How, Mama? Well, first you dim the lights like this. Then you crawl into your bed and you put your head on your soft pillow. Okay.
Now pull the covers all the way up to your windshield. Like this? Perfect! Now close your eyes. Okay, they're closed. Whatever you do, don't fall asleep. Just listen carefully to your breathing. In and out and in and out. Mama? Yeah? It's not working. It will. Keep trying.
Then, I hum your favorite nighttime song. That'll get your yawn out for sure. Mama, it worked! I got my yawn back!
I need to tell Freddy. But maybe tomorrow. That's an even better idea. Good night, sweetie.
