Text reads, “Coming up…”

A boy with curly dark brown hair and an orange shirt runs down a hallway.

[Energetic music plays]

The curly-haired boy sits on an orange sofa with his mom. She has medium-length hair and wears an orange sweater and blue pants.

His mom asks, COULD YOU HELP ME GO TO THE STORE?

The boy slides dramatically off the couch and lands on the floor.

In a store, the boy stands beside an ice cream counter. A man with a shaved head and a white beard leans down toward the curly-haired boy.

The bearded man asks, DO YOU KNOW WHAT KIND THEY WANT?

The curly-haired boy says, I DON'T REMEMBER.

The curly-haired boy, his mom, a man with a shaved head and black beard, and a girl with dark brown hair stand at the end of a driveway. The man and girl peer into a pink bag.

The curly-haired boy’s mother asks, WHAT ABOUT THE CHIPS?

The curly-haired boy says, I FORGOT.

In a dining room, a mom with long brown hair wears eyeglasses and a blue shirt. A girl with long blonde hair sits beside her, holding a marker.

The brown-haired woman asks, IS IT OKAY IF WE SEND PARKER?

[The blonde-haired girl, Parker, laughing]

In front of a house, Parker holds pants on clothing hangers.

Parker asks, WHAT WAY DO WE GO AGAIN?

The brown-haired woman, who is Parker’s mom, points and says, THAT WAY.

Parker spins happily.

[Parker giggling]

[Upbeat music plays]

A montage shows young children pushing shopping carts. On a sidewalk, Parker carries the pants.

Colin narrates, HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHAT LITTLE KIDS CAN DO ON THEIR OWN?

[Parker giggling]

A man with short black hair waves to a child wearing bright green gloves and a purple coat.

The child shouts, BYE-BYE!

A girl carries a large potted plant in front of her face.

Colin narrates, FOLLOWED BY A TEAM OF UNDERCOVER CAMERAS, THESE TINY TOTS ARE EMBRACING THEIR INDEPENDENCE.

Luther shouts, MOM, I GOT THE CHIPS!

Khamari carries a cake.

Colin narrates, AND TURNING ORDINARY ERRANDS INTO EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES.

A girl with black hair wears a black jacket, light purple mittens, and a light purple purse. She drops a pizza box.

The black-haired girl says, AH, IT FALL.

Parker hugs her parents.

Parker shouts, YEAH!

Colin narrates, THIS IS OLD ENOUGH!

Text reads, “Based on “Old Enough!” produced by Nippon T.V.” “T.V.O. presents.”

A person walks on a sidewalk beside a peaceful street.

[Engines hum]

Text reads, “Narrated by Colin Mochrie.”

Colin narrates, IT'S A PEACEFUL MORNING AS THE SUN RISES OVER THIS TINY SOUTHERN ONTARIO TOWN. WHERE A BUSY LITTLE BROTHER IS CONDUCTING HIS DAILY CHORES.

The curly-haired boy opens a dryer and puts clothes into a laundry basket. In the living room, he holds a broom and turns. The end of the broom handle hits a window covering behind him.

[Banging]

The curly-haired boy says, OOPSIE.

[SCREAMS]

In front of a house, the curly-haired boy Luther jumps excitedly in front of a bench. Text reads, “Luther, age 3.”

Colin narrates, INTRODUCING THREE-YEAR-OLD LUTHER!

[Luther screeching

In a kitchen, Luther gives the man with the shaved head and black beard, his dad, a glass.

Colin narrates, ALTHOUGH DAD'S ALWAYS ENCOURAGING HIM TO PUSH HIS LIMITS, MOM NEVER LETS LUTHER OUT OF HER SIGHT.

[Upbeat music plays softly]

Luther’s mom watches from around a corner.

Luther’s mom says, OH, CAREFUL WITH THE GLASS. PLEASE, CAREFUL.

[Clanking]

Luther says, I'M BEING CAREFUL.

Luther’s mom says, OKAY.

In an interview, Luther’s mom, Lesley, and his dad, Michael, sit together.

Michael says, SO, PARENTING STYLES...

[Lesley snorts]

At the end of the driveway, Michael holds Luther’s hand. Lesley holds Luther’s sister’s hand.

Lesley says, HOLD ON TIGHT TO DADDY'S HAND, OKAY?

In the interview, Lesley says, SO, MICHAEL IS LIKE THE HANDS-OFF DAD.

[Michael laughing]

On a sidewalk, Lesley says, BUT, YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL, OKAY?

[Luther giggling]

In the interview, Lesley says, I AM THE ALWAYS WORRIED ABOUT EVERYTHING PARENT.

On the sidewalk, Lesley says, NO. HOLD ON, HERE, LET'S WAIT FOR THIS TO MOVE BY.

Luther whines, NO.

Lesley says, WE DON'T WANT TO GET HIT BY A TRUCK, DO WE?

In the interview, Lesley says, I NEED THE KIDS WITHIN ARM'S REACH AT ALL TIMES.

On the sidewalk, Lesley says, YOU ARE MY-- YOU'RE MOMMY'S BABY?

Lesley picks Luther up and rocks him.

[Luther laughing]

Luther says, NAH, NO, I'M NOT A BABY.

In the interview, Lesley says, KEEP THEM RIGHT HERE WHERE THEY NEED TO BE. RIGHT NEXT TO MOMMY.

Michael says, WOULD LOVE FOR LUTHER TO BECOME A LITTLE BIT MORE INDEPENDENT. BE ABLE TO SHOW, "HEY, MOM, LOOK WHAT I CAN DO."

Luther’s sister chases him across the grass.

[Laughing]

Colin narrates, WELL, DAD, IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT THAT'S THE OLD ENOUGH! TEAM'S SPECIALTY.

Lesley shouts, LULU.

[Luther screams]

In the interview, Lesley says, THIS IS THE PERFECT EXCUSE TO LET GO AND LET HIM TRY THIS, BECAUSE, IF IT WASN'T FOR THIS SHOW, ABSOLUTELY NOT. BUT I'M EXCITED TO SEE WHAT HE DOES.

Michael says, OR DO YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO?

Lesley says, YEAH. WE'LL SEE IF I CAN HANDLE IT.

[Both laughing]

The sun rises over the small town. Inside Luther’s house, crewmembers wear bright orange, yellow, and grey safety vests.

Colin narrates, IT'S A CRISP AND HECTIC FALL MORNING.

THE OLD ENOUGH! CREW, POSING AS ELECTRICIANS, IS GEARING UP TO FILM LUTHER'S FIRST ERRAND WITHOUT HIM KNOWING.

WHILE DAD RUSHES TO GET BIG SISTER, SAVIE, TO AN APPOINTMENT, MOM GETS READY FOR SOME IMPORTANT WORK MEETINGS. AND SHE'S HOPING LUTHER CAN HELP HER OUT WITH A FEW THINGS.

In the living room, Lesley sits on the orange couch.

Lesley says, I GOTTA ASK YOU SOMETHING. DO YOU WANT TO HAVE A LUTHER MOVIE NIGHT, GET SNACKS?

Luther says, UM, THAT'S FINE.

Luther sits beside Lesley.

Lesley says, THAT'S FINE? OKAY.

SO, DADDY NEEDS TO TAKE SAVIE TO THE DENTIST, AND I HAVE TO DO WORK IN THE BASEMENT. CAN YOU HELP ME GO TO THE STORE?

Luther slides down onto the floor.

Luther grumbles.

Subtitle: “But I don’t want to do that.”

[Gentle music plays]

Colin narrates, MMM. SOUNDS LIKE LUTHER NEEDS SOME PERSUADING.

Lesley says, I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME, THOUGH. THERE'S A SPECIAL TREAT FOR YOU. GETTING ICE CREAM, AND KETCHUP CHIPS. AND A LASER POP. IS THAT A GOOD DEAL?

Luther cheers, YEAH!

On an illustrated map, a dotted line shows Luther’s path from his home to the store. Graphics of four ice cream cones, two bags of chips, and a laser pop appear.

[Energetic music plays, popping]

Colin narrates, FOR HIS FIRST ERRAND, LUTHER WILL NEED TO LEAVE HIS HOME, AND WALK ONE BLOCK, ALL BY HIMSELF, FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. THE ICE CREAM SHOP ISN'T FAR, BUT IT MIGHT FEEL LIKE A HUGE JOURNEY FOR LUTHER.

HE'LL WALK DOWN THE MAIN ROAD, THEN HEAD LEFT, PAST THE PARKING LOT, TO REACH THE LOCAL CONVENIENCE STORE AND ICE CREAM SHOP, WHERE HE'LL BUY FOUR ICE CREAM CONES, TWO BAGS OF CHIPS, ONE KETCHUP, ONE REGULAR. AND AS A TREAT FOR DOING THIS ALL BY HIMSELF, HIS FAVOURITE CANDY IN THE WORLD...A LASER POP.

[Cheering]

In the living room, Lesley puts Luther’s shoes on his feet.

Lesley asks, WHAT FLAVOUR OF ICE CREAM DOES DADDY LIKE? DO YOU REMEMBER?

Luther says, OH, HE LIKES CHOCOLATE.

Lesley says, AND, DO YOU KNOW—REMEMBER SAVIE'S FAVOURITE FLAVOUR? ONE BIRTHDAY CAKE.

Luther says, YEAH.

Lesley says, MOMMY LIKES COOKIES AND CREAM. WHAT'S LUTHER'S FAVOURITE FLAVOUR?

Luther says, SUPERHERO.

Lesley says, YES.

Lesley opens the front door and Luther steps outside. He turns to her.

Luther asks, ARE YOU GONNA GO WITH ME?

Lesley says, OH, NO. I'M GOING TO WAIT HERE FOR YOU. I GOT TO DO WORK, REMEMBER?

Luther says, NO. I WANT YOU TO COME WITH ME AND THEN DO WORK. I DON'T WANT TO GO THERE BY MYSELF.

Colin narrates, UH-OH.

Lesley says, IT'S OKAY. I'M GOING TO BE HERE WAITING, OKAY?

Luther says, OOH...

Lesley says, RIGHT HERE. I'M GOING TO BE SO EXCITED.

Luther walks down a staircase to the sidewalk. He carries the pink reusable shopping bags.

Luther says softly, OKAY.

Lesley says, OKAY. GOOD JOB.

Luther says, OKAY.

Lesley says, DON'T FORGET TO GET YOUR COOL LASER POP. WHATEVER FLAVOUR YOU LIKE, OKAY?

Luther mumbles.

Subtitle: “If you say so.”

Lesley says, OKAY.

Lesley stands in the doorway and watches Luther. He looks uncertainly down the street and steps onto the sidewalk.

In the interview, Lesley says, MY BIGGEST FEAR IS THAT LUTHER WILL BE ON THE ERRAND, AND HE'LL NEED ME. AND I'M NOT THERE.

Michael says, YEAH, LOOK, YOU'RE TEARING UP, LIKE--

Lesley says, YEAH, BECAUSE I WOULDN'T WANT HIM TO BE OUT THERE THINKING, LIKE, "WHERE'S MY MOM?"

In front of the house, Lesley smiles and waves to Luther.

In the interview, Lesley says, YOU NEED TO HAVE A DEFIBRILLATOR READY BECAUSE I MIGHT NEED TO BE BROUGHT BACK.

[Both laughing]

Luther walks to the end of the block and stops at the corner.

[Luther squealing, sobbing]

The narrator says COME ON, LUTHER. YOU GOT THIS!

THIS IS A BIG DEAL FOR A THREE-YEAR-OLD WHO NEVER LEAVES HIS MOM. AND MOM IS FEELING IT, TOO.

In front of the house, Michael hugs Lesley.

[Lesley sobbing]

Michael says, HE WILL BE ALL RIGHT.

Lesley says, I KNOW.

Michael says, HE'S SO-- HE'S TOO SMART.

Lesley says, I KNOW.

Michael says, HE'S GOT IT.

Colin narrates, WAIT, IS THAT A SPRING IN LUTHER'S STEP? IT LOOKS LIKE OUR LITTLE THREE-YEAR-OLD MIGHT ACTUALLY BE TURNING A CORNER HERE.

Luther runs and arrives at the corner.

[Breathing heavily]

AND WHAT BETTER WAY FOR LUTHER TO GET OVER BEING AWAY FROM MOM THAN SEEING HIS FINAL DESTINATION, THE ICE CREAM STORE!

A sign for Chapman’s ice cream shows three scoops of ice cream.

[Heavenly music plays]

[Upbeat music plays]

Colin narrates, THERE'S THE STORE, THE ICE CREAM. AND WEIRDLY ENOUGH, A CAR WASH?

A truck leaves a car wash.

Luther says, OH, MY.

Colin narrates, YOU SAID IT, LUTHER.

Luther pulls on the door handle.

[Tense music plays]

Colin narrates, YOU PULL, PULL! USE THOSE TINY LITTLE BICEPS OF YOURS.

Luther opens the door.

Colin narrates, YOU YEAH! AND THERE WE GO.

The bearded man says, HI, BUDDY. HOW ARE YOU?

Luther says, GOOD.

Colin narrates, ALL RIGHT. FIRST STOP, LASER POP.

Luther picks up a laser pop. He walks to the ice cream counter.

Luther says, MY PARENTS WANT ICE CREAM.

The bearded man says, OH, YOUR PARENTS WANT ICE CREAM?

Luther says, YEAH.

The bearded man says, NO PROBLEM. DO YOU KNOW WHAT KIND THEY WANT?

Luther says, I DON'T REMEMBER.

The bearded man says, OKAY, WELL, LET'S TRY. WE'LL FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY WANT. ARE YOU HAVING ONE, TOO?

[Upbeat music plays softly]

Luther says, YEAH.

The bearded man says, YEAH? WHICH ONE WOULD YOU LIKE? SUPERHERO, BIRTHDAY CAKE?

Luther says, SUPERHERO.

The bearded man says, SUPERHERO FOR YOU?

Luther says, YEAH.

The bearded man asks, DO YOU HAVE A BROTHER OR SISTER?

Luther says, I DO HAVE A SISTER.

The bearded man asks, WHAT DO YOU THINK SHE WOULD LIKE? SUPERHERO TOO, OR CHOCOLATE?

Luther says, OH, MY DAD WANTS CHOCOLATE.

The bearded man says, OKAY, SO WE GOT ONE SUPERHERO, ONE CHOCOLATE. HOW ABOUT YOUR MOMMY?

Luther says, UM...

The bearded man says, HOW ABOUT STRAWBERRY FOR MOMMY?

Luther says, THAT'S FINE WITH ME.

The bearded man says, AND THEN WE JUST HAVE TO THINK ABOUT YOUR SISTER.

Luther says, HMM. I'LL TAKE CHOCOLATE.

The bearded man says, CHOCOLATE FOR YOUR SISTER, TOO?

Luther says, YEAH.

The bearded man scoops ice cream onto cones.

Colin narrates, OKAY, SO THOSE AREN'T EXACTLY THE FLAVOURS THEY WANTED, BUT, HEY, IT'S ICE CREAM. WHO'S GOING TO COMPLAIN?

The bearded man asks, SO THAT'S ALL THAT'S ON YOUR LIST IS ICE CREAM TODAY?

Luther says, LASER POP.

The bearded man says, OH, A LASER POP.

Luther says, YEAH.

Colin narrates, AND THE CHIPS. DON'T FORGET THE CHIPS.

The bearded man says, SO, HERE'S YOUR RECEIPT.

Luther says, THANK YOU.

The bearded man says, YOU'RE WELCOME. ARE YOU GOING TO BE OKAY TO CARRY THIS?

The bearded man gives Luther a cardboard tray with the four ice cream cones.

Luther says, YEAH. THANK YOU.

The bearded man says, YOU'RE WELCOME, BUDDY. HAVE A GOOD DAY.

Luther says, BYE.

Luther leaves the store and carefully carries the ice cream.

[Upbeat music plays]

Luther says, OOH.

Colin narrates, WELL, HE FORGOT THE CHIPS, BUT THAT ICE CREAM
LOOKS MIGHTY TASTY.

Luther stares at the ice cream as he walks.

Luther sings, WE ALL WANT ICE CREAM.

A cone with chocolate ice cream tips in the tray.

Colin narrates, OOH, I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS.

Luther licks his ice cream.

Colin narrates, LOOK, WE GOT A TRAY OF ICE CREAM AND A THREE-YEAR-OLD BOY. DID YOU REALLY THINK THOSE CONES WOULD MAKE IT BACK UNEATEN?

Luther walks with ice cream smeared on his face. He turns the corner and his family waits on the driveway.

Lesley says, AH! LOOK!

Savie says, LUTHER.

[Luther cheers]

Lesley wipes a tear from her eye. Behind Luther, the two crewmembers in safety vests move from the sidewalk to an electrical box.

[Everyone laughing, Luther babbles happily]

In the interview, Lesley says, SEEING HIM COME AROUND THE CORNER WAS LIKE, "OH, THERE'S MY BABY." I WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE HIM.

Luther says, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ICE CREAM YOU GUYS WANTED.

Lesley says, IT'S OKAY.

Michael says, OH, THAT'S OKAY, BUDDY.

[Parents laughing]

Luther smiles proudly and carries the ice cream to his family.

Michael says, GOOD JOB! HIGH FIVE.

Lesley says, NICE JOB, BABA.

Michael and Luther high-five.

[Laughing]

Lesley says, YOU DID IT. THAT'S THE LASER POP?

Michael says, YOU GOT THE LASER POP AND THE ICE CREAM, HUH?

Michael eats a chocolate ice cream and Savie eats the strawberry.

Lesley asks, WHAT ABOUT THE CHIPS?

[Dramatic music plays]

Luther says, I FORGOT.

Lesley asks, WHY DON'T YOU TAKE YOUR ICE CREAM AND GO BACK TO THE STORE AND GET THE KETCHUP CHIPS AND THE REGULAR CHIPS FOR US?

Luther says, I CAN'T GO ALL THE WAY BACK THERE.

Lesley says, NO?

In the interview, Lesley says, DID HE LOOK LIKE HE FELT BAD ABOUT FORGETTING THE CHIPS? I DON'T KNOW.

[Laughing]

In front of the house, Lesley leans against a car and holds the tray with a chocolate ice cream cone in it. The others sit on the stairs and eat their ice cream.

In the interview, Michael says, HE, NO, HE WAS-- HE GOT FOUR CONES, HE GOT HIS LASER POP, AND THAT'S REALLY ALL THAT MATTERED. BUT IN OUR FAMILY, WHEN WE START SOMETHING, WE FINISH IT.

On the stairs, Savie asks, HOW ABOUT IF YOU GET THE CHIPS?

Luther says, YEAH?

Savie says, AND THEN IF YOU STILL HAVE SOME MONEY LEFT, YOU CAN GET SOMETHING ELSE THAT YOU LIKE.

Luther stands up.

Subtitle: I’ll get an…some laser pops for you too and then I’ll come back.”

Lesley says, OH, OKAY. GOOD JOB, LULU.

[Upbeat music plays]

Luther walks backward on the sidewalk. He eats his ice cream.

Colin narrates, AND LUTHER'S BACK AT IT. LIKE I'VE ALWAYS SAID, IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING A SECOND TIME, MIGHT AS WELL DO IT BACKWARDS.

Luther turns around and walks forward.

Colin narrates, AND THAT WAS FUN WHILE IT LASTED.

[Upbeat music plays]

Luther sings, BA, BA, BABY, BA.

Colin narrates, OOH. THE SUGAR IS KICKING IN.

[Luther singing]

Subtitle: “You can buy anything. Definitely can’t buy anything if you don’t have money, lots and lots of money in your purse.”

Colin narrates, SOMEONE GIVE THIS KID A RECORDING DEAL, PRONTO.

Luther walks past the parking lot.

[Luther sings]

Subtitle: “I want more to eat, eat, eat. I want more to eat, eat, eat. I know how to buy it.”

Luther pulls the shop door open.

Colin narrates, I THINK THAT ICE CREAM GAVE HIM MUSCLES.

[Luther sings]

The bearded man asks, YOU ARE BACK AGAIN?

Luther says, YEAH.

The bearded man asks, WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT'D YOU FORGET?

Luther says, I HAVE TO BUY REGULAR CHIPS AND KETCHUP CHIPS.

[Upbeat music plays]

Colin narrates, WAIT, IS THIS THE SAME LUTHER THAT WAS HERE BEFORE? LISTEN TO THAT CONFIDENCE.

The bearded man points and says, THE CHIPS ARE OVER THERE ON THE OTHER SIDE, BUD.

Luther says, OH, HERE?

The bearded man says, YEAH. RIGHT THERE.

Luther says, OOH.

Luther picks up a red bag of ketchup chips.

The bearded man says, YEAH. THAT ONE. AND THE REGULAR ONES ARE THE YELLOW ONES.

Colin narrates, HE'S GOT THE CHIPS!

[Chip bags rustling]

Luther says, AND I STILL HAVE SOME MONEY. OH, MY.

The bearded man says, OH, LET ME GET YOU YOUR RECEIPT.

Subtitle: “But I already have a receipt.”

The bearded man says, YEAH, WELL, YOU NEED ANOTHER ONE.

Subtitle: “Thank you.”

The bearded man says, ALL RIGHT, BUDDY, HAVE A GOOD DAY, OKAY? HOPEFULLY YOU GOT EVERYTHING.

Colin narrates, BUT HE'S FORGOTTEN THE LASER POP. AH, THOSE ARE OVERRATED ANYWAY.

Luther leaves the store.

[Luther humming, singing, upbeat music plays]

Luther walks across the parking lot.

Subtitle: “I’m excited to eat my chips. I’m excited to eat my chips.”

Colin sings, WE'RE EXCITED FOR YOU TO EAT YOUR CHIPS.

Colin narrates, THAT'S CATCHY.

Colin sings, WE'RE ALL SO EXCITED FOR YOU TO EAT YOUR CHIPS.

Luther bounces the bag with the chips on the sidewalk and kicks it.

Subtitle: “Bumping, bumping. Kicking it like a karate kick. Hello everybody. Hello. Speeding, speeding like Sonic. Speeding like Sonic.”

Luther runs home.

[Footsteps pattering]

Lesley cheers, YAY!

[Cheering, applause]

Subtitle: “I got chips!”

Michael cheers, YES!

[Cheering, applause]

In the interview, Michael says, THAT LITTLE SPRINT.

Lesley says, YEAH, THE ARMS GOING. YOU COULD SEE HE WAS SO PROUD OF HIMSELF.

Luther stops in front of his family.

[Upbeat music plays]

Luther cheers, YAY!

Luther says, I FORGOT TO GET THE LASER POP.

[Chip bags rustle]

Lesley says, THAT'S OKAY. YOU GOT THE CHIPS.

Michael says, THAT'S OKAY, BUDDY. YOU GOT THE CHIPS THOUGH.

Lesley says, GOOD JOB.

Michael says, GOOD JOB, BUDDY!

Luther bounces excitedly. Lesley high-fives him.

[Upbeat music plays]

In the interview, Lesley says, WE HAD NO DOUBTS.

[Laughing]

Michael says, THERE WAS A FEW.

Lesley says, SMALL DOUBTS.

[Both laughing]

Lesley says, BUT IN THE END, HE DID AMAZING. HE GOT HIS ERRAND DONE. HE MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS. HE DID WHAT HE NEEDED TO DO, RIGHT?

Michael says, HE DID.

Lesley says, SO IT'S PERFECT. [CHUCKLES]

Later, the family wears matching red, grey, and white pajamas. They sit close together on a grey couch. Michael pours plain chips into a large bowl on Savie’s lap. Lesley holds the bag of ketchup chips over a bowl on Luther’s lap.

Lesley asks, YOU ARE GOING TO HELP ME POUR THEM IN?

Luther says, I AM POURING.

[Chips rustling]

Lesley says, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GETTING THEM, BUB. OH, MY, IT'S A LITTLE BIT CRUNCHY.

In the interview, Lesley says, YES, THE CHIPS. WE OPENED THEM AND THEY WERE CRUMBS FROM BEING DRAGGED ON THE GROUND.

[Lesley laughing]

Michael says, THE CHIPS WERE INDEED CHIPS.

Luther asks, WHY IS THIS CHIP SO SMALL?

Lesley says, TINY BUT MIGHTY.

Michael says, LIKE YOU, LUTHER.

Lesley says, EXACTLY.

In the interview, Lesley says, THIS HAS CHANGED MY MIND ABOUT BEING SO ATTACHED TO LUTHER. BECAUSE I REALIZED THAT HE CAN DO HARD THINGS. AND IF I GIVE HIM THE OPPORTUNITY, THEN HE CAN NOT ONLY PROVE THAT TO ME, BUT TO HIMSELF. SO, I THINK I CAN RELEASE THE REINS A LITTLE BIT, A TINY BIT.

On the couch, Michael lifts a chip into the air.

He says, CHEERS TO LULU.

Lesley says, TO LULU.

Savie says, HE'S SO TINY.

[Lesley laughing]

Luther frowns.

Subtitle: “I don’t want to do the chips cheers.”

Title: Old Enough!

[Chiming]

[Upbeat music plays, birds chirping]

In a montage, an adult walks with two children in a store parking lot and a child rides a scooter on a sidewalk.

Colin narrates, THESE DAYS, KIDS SEEM TO BE GROWING UP FASTER THAN SPEEDING TRAINS...

A train moves past two parked trains.

[Train horn blares]

Colin narrates, AND MOUNTING LEAF PILES IN THE FALL.

An adult rakes yellow leaves into a pile. On a street, orange, brown, and yellow leaves fill the gutter.

[Car engine hums]

In a living room, Parker jumps on a small trampoline. Text reads, “Age 4.”

Colin narrates, AND ONE KID WHO ALSO WANTS TO GROW UP FAST IS FOUR-YEAR-OLD PARKER. AN AWESOME BIG SISTER TO TWO-YEAR-OLD, EVERLEIGH.

Parker and Everleigh draw on a large piece of paper. Parker takes an orange marker out of a bin. Her mom and her father crouch behind her.

[Gentle music plays]

Parker says, I CAN MAKE A REALLY GOOD DINOSAUR.

Colin narrates, AND GIGGLE MACHINE EXTRAORDINAIRE.

[Parker giggling]

Colin narrates, BUT THERE IS ONE SMALL PROBLEM.

PARKER'S ALL READY TO GROW UP AND TAKE ON THE BIG WIDE WORLD. BUT DAD...

Parker’s dad kneels beside the trampoline and pets a small dog. Her dad has short dark brown hair and wears black-framed eyeglasses and a black shirt.

Parker’s dad says, OKAY, OKAY, OKAY.

Colin narrates, NOT SO MUCH.

In an interview, Parker’s mom, Beth, and her dad, Nick, sit together.

Nick says, I'M A MORE ANXIOUS PERSON THAN YOU, AND I DEFINITELY HAVE CONTROL FREAK TENDENCIES. I CAN BE A LITTLE BIT MORE PROTECTIVE.

[Beth laughing]

In a kitchen, Parker closes the refrigerator door. She packs her lunch box.

[Slamming]

In the interview Beth says, PARKER IS DEFINITELY CRAVING MORE INDEPENDENCE.

[Nick laughing]

Beth says, YOU KNOW, SHE'S-- LIKE, SHE'S PUSHING BACK A LOT. BEING COMPLETELY UP FRONT, HER AND NICK ARE STARTING TO BUTT HEADS QUITE A BIT OVER DIFFERENT THINGS.

On a sidewalk, Beth carries Everleigh. Parker walks to Nick and takes his hand.

[Car engine hum]

Parker says, FINE.

Colin narrates, SO NOW WITH PARKER STARTING JUNIOR KINDERGARTEN, HER PARENTS HAVE COME TO THE OLD ENOUGH! TEAM TO PRACTICE SETTING HER FREE.

In the interview, Nick says, WE COMMITTED TO DOING THIS SOCIAL EXPERIMENT BECAUSE SHE'S DEFINITELY MOTIVATED BY HAVING SOMETHING THAT SHE CAN SINK HER TEETH INTO.

On the sidewalk, Parker and Everleigh hold hands.

Parker says, WE, LIKE, JUMP, AND PUT OUR FOOT IN THE FRONT AT THE SAME TIME.

In the interview, Nick says, AND I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE A REALLY GOOD OPPORTUNITY, IN A WAY THAT'S SAFE AND PROTECTED.

On the sidewalk, Parker stops and looks at Everleigh.

Subtitle: “Why so slow?”

[Everleigh giggling]

In the interview, Beth says, LIKE, I KNOW SHE'S JUST GOING TO JUMP AT THE OPPORTUNITY.

On the sidewalk, Parker skips.

[Giggling]

In the interview, Nick says, HER JACKET IS GOING TO BE ON BEFORE THE SENTENCE IS DONE.

[Nick laughing]

Beth agrees, SHE'LL BE OUT THE DOOR.

Birds land on a wire. Inside Parker’s house, she and Beth walk upstairs to a kitchen.

[Birds chirping, cheerful music plays]

Colin narrates, IT'S THE PERFECT MORNING FOR PARKER'S VERY FIRST ERRAND.

WHILE EVERLEIGH IS AWAY AT DAYCARE, AND WORK-FROM-HOME, DAD, IS PREPARING TO HEAD BACK TO THE OFFICE TOMORROW, THE OLD ENOUGH! TEAM ARE DISGUISING THEMSELVES AS PART OF THE CITY CREW, DOING SOME WORK AROUND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD.

Crewmembers wear bright orange, grey, and yellow safety vests. In the living room, a crewmember snaps a clapperboard.

[Tapping]

Beth and Parker sit at a dining room table.

[Phone buzzing]

Beth says, OH, PARKER.

Colin narrates, NOW, WHO ON EARTH COULD THAT BE?

Beth speaks into the phone, HELLO? OH, NO.

Colin narrates, UH-OH. THIS DOESN'T SOUND GOOD.

Beth says, HEY, WE FORGOT EVIE'S HAT AND MITTS.

Parker leans towards Beth excitedly.

Subtitle: “I can…I can go on an independent walk!”

Beth says, YOU WANT TO GO TAKE THEM TO HER?

Parker says, YEAH.

Beth asks, OKAY. IS IT OKAY IF WE SEND PARKER? OKAY.

Parker puts a cap on her blue marker.

[Parker giggling]

Colin narrates, PARKER TO THE RESCUE.

Beth says, ALL RIGHT. BYE.

Parker looks at Beth.

Subtitle: “Right now?”

Colin narrates, AND MOM JUST HAPPENS TO HAVE ONE OTHER THING FOR PARKER, TOO.

Beth says, SINCE YOU'RE GOING OUT THAT WAY ANYWAY, WE'VE GOT DADDY'S PANTS, THERE'S A RIP. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO GET YOU TO TAKE THEM TO THE ALTERATIONS PLACE. AND I ACTUALLY ALSO HAVE A PAIR OF PANTS THAT I COULD GET HEMMED, SO IF YOU COULD TAKE BOTH OF THOSE PAIRS OF PANTS--

Parker says, I'LL DO BOTH NOW!

Colin narrates, WELL, SOMEONE SOUNDS EXCITED!

On an illustrated map, an animated train chugs past Parker’s house. A graphic shows pants and mittens. A dotted line shows Parker’s path from her home to the daycare. A sign reads, “Bustling Intersection.”

[Train whistle toots, giggling, sign boinging, popping]

Colin narrates, ON THIS ERRAND, THAT SHE'S BEEN WAITING HER WHOLE LIFE FOR, PARKER WILL CARRY A BIG LOAD OF CLOTHING THROUGH HER QUIET NEIGHBOURHOOD, WHILE AVOIDING ONE OF HER FAVORITE THINGS IN THE WORLD, JUMPING INTO THE MANY FUN LEAF PILES ALONG THE WAY.

IF SHE CAN AVOID THAT TEMPTATION, PARKER WILL CROSS A BUSTLING INTERSECTION TO GET TO THE DAYCARE SO SHE CAN DELIVER A HAT, A NECK WARMER, AND A PAIR OF MITTS, TO HER SISTER, EVERLEIGH, FOR OUTSIDE TIME.

[Everleigh giggling]

The dotted line crosses the street to the tailor shop. The sign changes and reads, “Crosswalk.”

[Slide whistle]

Colin narrates, ONCE EVERLEIGH HAS HER WARM CLOTHES, PARKER WILL BACKTRACK THROUGH THE CROSSWALK AGAIN TO REACH THE TAILOR SHOP, WHERE SHE'S SUPPOSED TO GET TWO PAIRS OF PANTS FIXED FOR HER PARENTS.

[Popping]

In the house, Beth gives Parker pants on coat hangers.

Beth says, SO, THESE ARE DADDY'S PANTS, SHE NEEDS TO FIX, LIKE, THE INSIDE. THESE PANTS, I NEED YOU TO GET HEMMED. CAN YOU REMEMBER THIS?

Parker says, YES.

Beth says, I NEED HER TO HEM THEM ONE INCH. THINK YOU CAN DO IT?

Parker says, YEAH.

Beth says, OKAY.

Beth opens the front door.

In the interview, Beth says, WE'VE NEVER LET HER LEAVE THE HOUSE ALONE. I DON'T KNOW, I'M NOT NERVOUS. I THINK SHE'S GOING TO BE GREAT.

Nick mutters, THAT MAKES ONE OF US.

[Both chuckling]

At the front door, Beth says, OKAY, BABY.

[Parker chuckling]

Parker says, BYE.

Beth says, I LOVE YOU.

[Parker giggling, cheerful music plays]

Parker says, BYE.

Colin narrates, PARKER HAS TOTALLY GOT THIS. NO IDEA WHY DAD'S SO WORRIED.

Parker spins around on the sidewalk.

[Music stops]

Colin narrates, OOPS. SPOKE TOO SOON.

Parker asks, MAMA, WHAT WAY DO WE GO AGAIN?

Beth points and says, THAT WAY.

[Parker giggling]

Colin narrates, AND, LET'S TRY THAT AGAIN.

[Parker giggling, upbeat music plays]

Colin narrates, NOW, THAT IS SOME SERIOUS GIGGLING. AS MUCH AS GIGGLING CAN BE SERIOUS, OF COURSE.

Parker spins on the sidewalk, then walks forward.

[Parker humming]

Colin narrates, OH, HELLO, MR. CITY WORKER. WINK, WINK. OOH, BIG LEAF PILE ALERT.

Parker stares at a huge pile of leaves as she walks past it. She puts the pants on her head.

Colin narrates, PARKER IS CLEARLY INTENT ON GETTING HER ERRAND DONE. I WOULDN'T HAVE HAD THAT KIND OF WILLPOWER.

White pants fall off a hanger and land on a driveway.

[Dramatic music notes play]

Colin narrates, OF COURSE IT HAD TO BE THE WHITE PANTS.

Parker picks up the pants.

Colin narrates, MEANWHILE, BACK AT HOME, DAD STILL HASN'T SAT DOWN SINCE PARKER LEFT.

In the kitchen, Nick’s shoulders are tense as he leans against a counter.

Nick says, YEAH.

Beth says, DON'T STRESS.

Nick says, IT'S JUST-- IT'S FAR.

Beth says, IT'S A LOT.

Nick says, IT'S A LOT.

Colin narrates, YEAH, DAD, IT IS A LOT...

Parker spins on the sidewalk.

[Parker giggling, upbeat music plays]

Colin narrates, A LOT OF FUN!

[Parker giggling]

Parker reaches the busy intersection. A crossing guard wears a safety vest and holds a stop sign.

The crossing guard asks, WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO TODAY?

DO YOU WANT TO CROSS THE STREET WITH ME?

Parker nods.

The crossing guard says, OKAY, COME WITH ME THIS WAY.

The crossing guard says, GREAT JOB.

Parker crosses the street with the crossing guard. She bites one of the hangers as she crosses.

Colin narrates, AH, THERE'S NOTHING LIKE THE TASTE OF PLASTIC HANGERS WHEN YOU'RE ON YOUR VERY FIRST ERRAND ALONE.

Parker carries the pants and Everleigh’s clothes on the sidewalk.

[Parker giggling]

Colin narrates, WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT, PARKER? I REALLY WISH THESE KIDS WOULD INCLUDE ME IN THEIR JOKES SOMETIMES.

A daycare employee opens the door. She has long black hair and wears a cream vest and a black shirt. Everleigh walks beside her and they look into a bag.

Parker says, HERE'S YOUR WARM STUFF, EVERLEIGH.

The daycare employee asks, WHAT DID YOU BRING HER?

Parker says, THERE'S A HAT, MITTENS, NECK WARMER, AND THAT'S IT. AND YOU HAVE A WARM COAT.

The daycare employee says, THAT'S RIGHT. THANK YOU. NOW SHE'LL BE NICE AND WARM FOR OUTSIDE TIME.

Everleigh says, BYE, PARKER.

Parker says, BYE.

The daycare employee says, BYE, HAVE A GREAT DAY.

Parker says, BYE.

The daycare employee says, BYE.

Colin narrates, IF THAT DOESN'T PROVE TO DAD THAT PARKER CAN HANDLE AN ERRAND BY HERSELF, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL.

Parker closes the gate behind her.

[Clanking]

Colin narrates, MAYBE A TRIP TO THE TAILOR, FOR GOOD MEASURE?

[Colin laughing]

Colin narrates, GOOD MEASURE. SEE WHAT I DID THERE? BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IT'S A TAILOR? YOU-- YOU MEASURE.

[Parker giggling]

Parker approaches the intersection.

The crossing guard asks, ARE WE CROSSING THE ROAD THIS TIME? OKAY. ARE YOU READY? LET'S GO.

Parker crosses the street with the crossing guard.

The crossing guard says, THAT'S A LOT OF CLOTHES YOU GOT THERE. ARE THOSE ARE ALL FOR YOU?

The crossing guard says, WELL, AREN'T YOU JUST A GREAT LITTLE HELPER.

The tailor says, OKAY, SO NOW YOU SHOW ME WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE?

Parker says, THIS ONE NEEDS TO BE SHORTENED ONE INCH. THIS ONE HAS A RIP.

The tailor asks, OH, THIS ONE NEEDS TO SHORTEN?

Parker nods.

Colin narrates, GOOD MEMORY. PARKER.

The tailor says, DO YOU WANT TO SIT HERE WITH ME?

The tailor sits behind a sewing machine and holds two large spools of thread. Parker sits beside her.

The tailor says, WELL, WHAT COLOUR IS MATCHING? DO YOU KNOW WHICH ONE?
THIS ONE? YOU'RE RIGHT.

Colin narrates, HER VERY FIRST ERRAND AND SHE GETS TO HELP FIX MOM AND DAD'S PANTS? WHAT A BONUS.

Parker says, BUT MY FAVOURITE COLORS ARE PINK AND PURPLE.

The tailor repeats, PINK AND PURPLE?

Parker nods.

Colin narrates, THOSE COLOURS WOULD MAKE DAD'S PANTS SO MUCH MORE FUN.

YOU HOLD RIGHT HERE, YOU HOLD ONE HAND RIGHT HERE FOR ME, OKAY? WE HAVE TO MAKE IT STRAIGHT. AND GO SLOW LIKE THAT, OKAY?

Parker puts her hand flat on the pants. The tailor stitches the hem.

[Clicking]

Colin narrates, SOMEBODY GIVE THIS KID A PART-TIME JOB. I MEAN, LOOK AT THIS CONCENTRATION.

Nick says, I KNOW! YOU'D NEVER EVEN KNOW THAT THEY WERE RUINED.

In the interview, Nick says, SEEING HER GO THROUGH THIS AS THE MORE NERVOUS, CONTROLLING PARENT, IT DEFINITELY OPENS MY EYES TO GIVING HER A BIT MORE FLEXIBILITY. MAYBE THAT'LL CHANGE OUR MINDSET A LITTLE BIT, GOING FORWARD.

Beth says, YOU'LL BE A LITTLE MORE CHILL WITH HER, I THINK.

Khamarie’s mom, Nisha, sits in a living room.

[Whooshing, gentle music plays]

In an interview, Nisha says, WHEN I MOVED OUT ON MY OWN, LATE TWENTIES, UM, I KIND OF KNEW NOTHING. I DON'T WANNA RAISE A CHILD TO BE DEPENDENT ON ANYBODY, EVEN IF IT'S ME.

In the living room, Nisha leans against a wall and watches Khamari vacuum in front of the couch.

[Vaccum whirrs]

Nisha says, OKAY, MAKE SURE YOU GET AT THE EDGE OF THE COUCH.

In an interview, Nisha says, I WANT HIM TO HAVE ALL THE SKILLS, ALL THE IDEAS, EVERYTHING THAT HE NEEDS, AND JUST BECOME THE BEST VERSION OF HIMSELF.

Nisha asks, ALL DONE?

Aka Yaya says, WHAT ARE YOU DOING, KHAMARI?

Khamari says, I'M FOLDING CLOTHES.

Aka Yaya says, I THINK YOU ARE TOO YOUNG TO BE FOLDING LAUNDRY. THAT'S MOMMY'S JOB.

In the interview, Nisha says, I WANNA SEND KHAMARI ON AN ERRAND FOR THE FIRST TIME BY HIMSELF BECAUSE I KIND OF RAN OUT OF WAYS AT HOME TO LET HIM BE INDEPENDENT, AND BY HIM GOING OUT AND ACCOMPLISHING THIS, HE'LL KNOW THAT HE CAN DO ANYTHING HE PUTS HIS MIND TO.

In an interview, Khamari’s Yaya’s black hair is pulled away from her face. She wears a white blouse.

[Whooshing]

Yaya says, I DON'T THINK IT IS A GOOD IDEA. I DON'T THINK IT IS SAFE FOR HIM TO BE OUT THERE ON HIS OWN. BUT SHE'S THE MOM, I'M NOT, AND I HAVE TO STAND BACK AND LET HER DO WHAT SHE THINKS IS GOOD FOR HER SON.

Early in the morning, pink sunlight reflects off the lake.

[Tapping]

Colin narrates, BUT IN REALITY, WE'RE THERE TO INSTALL HIDDEN CAMERAS SO WE CAN CAPTURE NISHA SENDING KHAMARI OUT ON HIS VERY FIRST ERRAND ALL BY HIMSELF. AN ERRAND THAT INVOLVES HIS FAVOURITE COUSIN, KAYLE.

In the living room, Nisha and Khamari sit on the couch.

Nisha says, OKAY, SO, I FORGOT TO GET A CAKE FOR KAYLE.

Khamari asks, WHY?

Nisha says, 'CAUSE IT'S HER BIRTHDAY.

[Khamari gasping]

Nisha says, I'M GONNA KINDA NEED A FAVOUR FROM YOU.

Khamari says, YEAH?

Nisha says, SO SINCE I CAN'T LEAVE, 'CAUSE THE GUY JUST SAID I HAVE TO WAIT FOR ALL THIS STUFF TO GET DONE, RIGHT? COULD YOU GO TO THE STORE FOR ME?

[Khamari laughing]

Khamari says, NO!

Nisha says, WHAT?

Khamari says, BUT, LIKE, THAT'S SO SCARY.

Nisha says, NOTHING'S GONNA HAPPEN.

Khamari says, NO! WHAT! WHAT IF I FIND A SNAKE AND I STEP ON IT?

Colin narrates, WELL, THAT DEFINITELY WASN'T THE EXCUSE WE WERE EXPECTING.

Nisha says, GRANDPA MESSAGED ME. REMEMBER I TOLD YOU GRANDPA MIGHT COME OVER? HE MESSAGED ME AND HE'S OUTSIDE.

[Gentle music plays]

Colin narrates, GRANDPA IS THE PERFECT INCENTIVE, SINCE HE'S KHAMARI'S
ALL-TIME HERO.

Nisha says, SO HE WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU COULD BRING HIM COFFEE, AND THEN THAT WAY WHEN YOU'RE GOING ON THE WAY TO GET THE CAKE, YOU CAN DROP AND GIVE GRANDPA COFFEE.

[Khamari laughing]

Subtitle: “I’m not doing that.”

Nisha says, KHAMARI, PLEASE?

Nisha says, OKAY.

OKAY, COME. LET'S WRITE OUR MAP SO YOU CAN GO GET THIS CAKE. OKAY, SO WHERE DO WE START?

[Upbeat music plays]

Nisha says, WE HAVE OUR HOUSE HERE.

Khamari says, YEAH.

Nisha says, AND THEN WE'RE GONNA GET ON THE BOARDWALK HERE. AND RIGHT HERE, WHO'S HERE?

Khamari says, GRANDPA?

Nisha says, THAT'S RIGHT. SO YOU'RE GONNA DROP OFF THE COFFEE TO GRANDPA HERE.

On an animated map, a dotted line shows Khamari’s route.

[Whooshing]

Colin narrates, FOR HIS JOURNEY, KHAMARI WILL PASS HIS FAVOURITE PLAYGROUND AND HEAD ALONG THE BOARDWALK, AVOIDING ANY POTENTIAL WILDLIFE…

The route moves past an animated snake and lion.

[Hissing, growling]

Colin narrates, WHERE HE'LL BRING HIS GRANDPA A WARM CUP OF JOE.

A coffee floats above a small dock.

[Boinging]

Colin narrates, ONCE THE COFFEE IS SERVED, KHAMARI WILL HEAD TOWARDS
A FORK IN THE ROAD.

A sign reads, “Fork in the road.”

[Boinging]

A figure on a map says, HMM.

Colin narrates, GOING LEFT WILL TAKE HIM TO HIS LOCAL GROCERY STORE, WHERE HOPEFULLY HE'LL FIND THE CAKE AND CANDLES FOR KAYLE'S 20TH BIRTHDAY.

An animated cake spins over the grocery store.

[Party horn blows]

In the interview, Nisha says, I DEFINITELY HAVE MOM NERVES.

In a hallway, Khamari waits by an elevator door. He holds a coffee in his right hand. Nisha watches him from the condominium doorway.

Khamari says, BYE.

Nisha asks, CAN I GET A KISS? WHERE'S MY KISS?

Kharmari walks to Nisha and kisses her.

In the interview, Nisha says, I TRUST HIS ABILITIES 100 PERCENT BUT, LIKE, NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE HIM EXECUTE THOSE ABILITIES, I'M JUST LIKE, "OH, MY GOSH."

Colin narrates, HE'S MADE IT OUT OF THE BUILDING. TIME TO CONSULT THE MAP...

Khamari stops in a doorway and looks at his map. The door swings towards him and he quickly walks outside.

Colin narrates, IF THAT DOOR DOESN'T GET HIM FIRST. CLOSE CALL.

Khamari walks on a sidewalk.

[Upbeat music plays]

In the condominium, Nisha stands by a window and looks outside.

Yaya asks, HAS HE LEFT YET?

Nisha says, YEAH, HE JUST MADE IT ONTO THE GRASS.

Yaya says, OH, WOW. I'M NOT SURE THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA.

Nisha says, WHY? BECAUSE YOU WOULD'VE NEVER SENT ME OUT HERE BY MYSELF?

Yaya says, I WOULD NOT.

Khamari consults his map.

He asks, WHICH WAY DO WE TURN? WE TURN THIS WAY.

Colin narrates, WITH HIS TRUSTY HAND-DRAWN MAP, KHAMARI IS OFF TO FIND THE DOCK WHERE HE'S SUPPOSED TO MEET HIS GRANDPA.

Khamari mutters, CAN'T FIND THE DOCK. WHERE COULD THE DOCK BE?

[Gasping, seagulls calling]

Colin narrates, HAVING A SIBLING IS GREAT. YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND, A PROTECTOR, AND SOMEONE TO TAKE THE BLAME WHEN YOU SPILL JUICE ON THE CARPET. AND SPEAKING OF SIBLINGS, IT'S THE BIG SISTER AND LITTLE BROTHER DUO, SIX-YEAR-OLD ARIA AND THREE-YEAR-OLD KINGSLEY.

Text beside the girl with straight hair reads, “Aria, age 6.” The smaller child in the red coat smiles. Text beside him reads, “Kingsley, age 3.”

[Whooshing]

In a living room, Aria and Kingsley’s parents sit for an interview. Their mom, Vanessa, has long straight black hair and wears a grey sweater. Their dad, Victor, has short black hair and wears a black shirt.

[Gentle music plays]

Victor says, ARIA IS ALWAYS PLAYING THE ROLE OF A BIG SISTER.

Vanessa says, SHE'S LIKE HER OWN PARENT.

In a kitchen, Aria picks sliced cucumber off a cutting board and puts it in a bowl.

Aria says, CUCUMBERS READY.

In the interview, Victor says, I THINK SHE WANTS TO MAKE ME PROUD AND PROVE TO ME THAT SHE'S READY TO DO HER OWN THINGS.

In the kitchen, Aria washes dishes, and Vanessa rinses them.

[Clattering, water splashes]

Aria says, THAT IS GROSS.

In the interview, Victor says, KINGSLEY, NOT SO MUCH. I THINK KINGSLEY'S A LITTLE BIT EMOTIONAL. HE'S MORE SENSITIVE, I'D SAY.

Colin narrates, MAYBE KINGSLEY GETS THAT LOVING SENSITIVITY FROM DAD, WHO MOM THINKS WORRIES A BIT TOO MUCH SOMETIMES.

Outside, Kingsley rides on Victor’s shoulders. Aria drives the small car on a sidewalk.

[Engine whirring, background chatter, upbeat music plays]

Victor says, STAY ON THE TRACK, ON THE SIDEWALK.

In the interview, Vanessa says, VICTOR IS DEFINITELY A HELICOPTER PARENT TO THE EXTREME. I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SEEN ANYONE LIKE THAT.

Victor says, I CALL MYSELF A GOOD PARENT, NOT A HELICOPTER PARENT.

In the kitchen, Aria peels a cucumber.

Victor says, CAREFUL, YOU GOTTA CONTROL IT, OKAY?

In the interview, Victor says, I JUST NEVER WANT ANYTHING BAD TO HAPPEN TO THEM, WHEREAS SOMEBODY HERE IS MORE RISKY.

[Both laughing]

Victor says, SHE OBVIOUSLY HAS MORE TRUST IN THEM THAN I DO. I LIKE HOLDING THEIR HANDS, MAKING SURE I KNOW THEY'RE SAFE. EVEN WHEN THEY'RE GOING--

Vanessa says, AT THE PARK, EVEN WHEN THEY'RE IN THE PARK, HE'S, LIKE, RIGHT BESIDE THEM.

Victor agrees, I'M RIGHT UNDERNEATH THEM IN CASE THEY FALL.

Outside, Aria and Kingsley ride in the small car. Victor runs beside it.

[Engine whirring]

Colin narrates, SO TO HELP SHOW DAD THAT THE KIDS CAN DO THINGS ALL ON THEIR OWN, MOM WANTS TO SEND ARIA AND KINGSLEY OUT ON THEIR FIRST ERRAND ALL BY THEMSELVES.

In the interview, Vanessa says, I WANT THEM TO PROVE TO THEMSELVES THAT THEY CAN DO IT. I WANTED THEM TO PROVE TO HIM THAT THEY'RE CAPABLE OF DOING IT, THAT WAY MAYBE HE'LL STEP BACK A BIT.

Victor says, MAYBE.

Colin narrates, IT'S A PERFECT MORNING TO SEND THE KIDS OUT ON THEIR OWN, BECAUSE MOM HAS LIBRARY BOOKS THAT ARE DUE TODAY.

SO, AFTER OUR SNEAK OLD ENOUGH! CREW SETS UP SOME HIDDEN CAMERAS, MOM CALLS THE KIDS TO THE COUCH.

In a living room, Vaness sits on a black couch beside Kingsley. Aria stands by the end of the couch.

Vanessa says, I WANNA ASK YOU SOMETHING.

Aria says, YEAH?

Vanessa says, THOSE BOOKS NEED TO BE RETURNED.

Aria says, ALL OF THEM?

Vanessa says, YES. CAN YOU GUYS GO?

Aria says, YEAH.

Vanessa says, BY YOURSELVES?

Aria says, YEAH.

Vanessa says, YOU SURE?

Aria says, YEAH.

Colin narrates, WELL, THAT WAS EASY.

Vanessa says, AFTER YOU GUYS GO TO THE LIBRARY, YOU GUYS GO TO THAT BAKERY THAT I WANTED TO TRY LAST TIME?

Aria says, YEAH.

An animated map shows Aria and Kingsley’s route. A dotted line moves past a sign that reads, “This road.” Animated books appear above the Library. At the bakery, two mugs, two disposable cups appear, a box of cannolis, and a box of donuts appear.

[Upbeat music plays, boinging, popping]

Colin narrates, FOR THEIR FIRST ERRAND ON THEIR OWN, ARIA AND KINGSLEY WILL LEAVE THEIR BLOCK AND GO DOWN THIS ROAD. THEY'LL PASS A HIGH SCHOOL, SOME PARKING LOTS AND BUILDINGS, THEN ARRIVE AT THE LIBRARY, WHERE THEY'LL RETURN A BAG FULL OF BOOKS AND PICK UP NEW BOOKS THAT MOM HAS ON HOLD.

THEN THEY'LL HEAD TO THE NEARBY BAKERY, WHERE THEY'LL GET TWO ESPRESSO COFFEES FOR MOM AND DAD, TWO HOT CHOCOLATES FOR THEMSELVES, A BOX OF CANNOLIS, AND SOME DONUTS. THIS WILL BE ONE DELICIOUS ERRAND THAT THE KIDS ARE GONNA LOVE.

[Cheering]

By the front door, Vanessa helps Kingsley do up his red coat.

Subtitle: “I’m scared. I want to stay home.”

Vanessa asks, WHY ARE YOU SCARED?

Colin narrates, UH-OH. MAYBE I SPOKE TOO SOON.

[Kingsley whines, tense music plays]

Aria hugs Kingsley.

Subtitle: “Kingsley, I’m gonna be with you.”

Vanessa says, ARIA'S TAKING CARE OF YOU, OKAY?

Kingsley says, OKAY.

Colin narrates, PHEW. CRISIS AVERTED. NOTHING TO BE SCARED OF WHEN YOUR BRAVE BIG SISTER IS GOING WITH YOU.

Vanessa says, DON'T TALK TO STRANGERS. OKAY?

Aria says, KINGSLEY, LET'S GO!

Aria carries the black book bag and runs down the front steps and Kingsley trails behind her.

[Door clicking]

Vanessa says, OKAY. ARIA, WAIT FOR YOUR BROTHER, OKAY?

Aria says, KINGSLEY, LET'S GO. HOLD MY HAND. LOOK BOTH WAYS. NOW WE CROSS. OKAY?

Aria and Kingsley hold hands and cross the street.

Aria shouts, BYE, DAD!

Victor waves from a balcony.

Colin narrates, BE STRONG, DAD. WE'LL KEEP AN EYE ON THEM FOR YOU.

In the interview, Victor shakes his head and says, I'M NOT READY FOR THIS. ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?

Vanessa says, I'M READY.

Victor says, YOU'RE READY?

Victor says, I'M READY FOR IT. I THINK.

[Upbeat music plays]

Aria and Kingsley hold hands and walk on the sidewalk. Aria turns to Kingsley.

Subtitles: “Are you scared?” “Mmm, a little bit.” “Well at least it’s not that cold, right?”

Kingsley agrees, YEAH.

Aria looks through a fence and says, DOGGIE! DO YOU LIKE DOGGIES?

[Barking]

Kingsley says, NO.

Aria asks, WHY?

Subtitle: “Because they’re poop!” “No poo poo language, okay?”

Colin narrates, YEAH, THIS IS A FAMILY SHOW!

Aria and Kingsley cross a street.

Subtitle: “Is the library here?”

[Footsteps thumping]

Aria says, YEP. ALMOST THERE.

Kingsley shouts, YAY! RUNNING!

Aria says, NO! NO RUNNING!

The animated map shows Aria and Kingsley walking past a sign that reads, “Wrong way.”

[Boinging]

Colin narrates, WAIT A SECOND! THEY WENT AROUND TO THE BACK OF THE HIGH SCHOOL. THIS ISN'T THE WAY TO GO.

Aria says, THIS IS HEAVY. REAL HEAVY.

Kingsley says, HERE. GIVE ME IT.

Aria says, OH, HERE. THANKS. THANKS, KINGSLEY. IS IT HEAVY?

[Gentle music plays, background children shouting]

Kingsley says, NOPE.

Aria says, WHAT? HOW?

Kingsley says, BECAUSE I'M STRONG.

Aria says, IT'S A LONG WALK, OKAY?

Kingsley says, OKAY. I DROPPED IT.

Subtitle: “Come on, you lazy Aria!”

Kingsley says, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH! IS IT HEAVY?

Subtitle: “This does not look like the library.”

Kingsley pokes Aria’s cheek.

Kingsley says, CHEEKY, CHEEKY, CHEEKY!

Aria says, WE HAVE TO GO BACK!

Kingsley says, YEAH!

They run on a sidewalk.

Colin narrates, OKAY, SO NOW THEY'RE BACKTRACKING, GOING AROUND TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HIGH SCHOOL. NOW THIS IS THE RIGHT WAY. PHEW.

Aria says, OKAY, LET'S GO.

[Aria grunting, upbeat music plays]

Aria and Kingsley drag the bag on the ground between them.

Aria says, NOW WE CAN JUST DRAG IT LIKE THIS. IT'S FINE. NO ONE WILL KNOW, RIGHT?

Colin narrates, THAT'S IT. WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER.

Kingsley says, DRAG IT! THAT'S BETTER. HEY! DON'T LIFT IT.

Aria lifts the bag and a book slides through a rip in the bottom.

[Thumping]

Aria says, OH! A BOOK. THERE'S A RIP IN THIS BAG.

[Upbeat music plays]

Kingsley says, NO!

Colin narrates, NOW, HOW COULD THAT HAVE HAPPENED? COULDN'T HAVE BEEN FROM DRAGGING IT ON THE PAVEMENT.

[Kingsley blows a raspberry]

Colin narrates, WHAT A GOOD BIG SISTER. HOLDING A BAG WITH A RIP IN IT, HOLDING THE FALLEN BOOK, AND HOLDING HER BROTHER'S HAND. THIS WOULD BE A LOT EASIER IF SHE WAS AN OCTOPUS.

Books poke through the rip in the bottom of the bag. Aria carries a book and holds Kingsley’s hand.

Subtitle: “It’s kinda ripped on the bottom.”

Aria gives Kingsley the book.

Aria says, HOLD THIS FOR ME.

Kingsley says, AH!

Aria says, SEE, KINGSLEY? LIBRARY IS RIGHT THERE. LET'S GO.

Kingsley says, I DROPPED IT.

Aria walks in front of Kingsley.

[Upbeat music plays]

Kingsley says, ARIA! YOU FORGOT ME.

Aria says, OH—

All the books fall through the bottom of the bag.

[Thumping, Kingsley laughing]

Aria says, THE BAG RIPPED! NO! OH, NO.

Aria drops the books and picks them up. Kingsley crouches beside his book and watches her.

[Kingsley laughing]

Aria says, NO, NO, NO! GET UP!

[Kingsley laughing]

Colin narrates, COME ON, THERE'S NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT WATCHING YOUR BIG SISTER STRUGGLE.

Aria carries the books and the ripped bag. Kingsley follows behind her carrying a book.

[Kingsley giggling]

Colin narrates, OKAY...

[Chuckling]

Colin narrates, MAYBE IT'S A LITTLE FUNNY.

Kingsley asks, IS THAT THE LIBRARY?

Aria says, YEAH.

They carry the books across a parking lot.

Kingsley says, YEAH! WAIT FOR ME!

Aria pushes a button and the library door opens.

Aria says, KINGSLEY!

Aria returns the books in a return slot.

Kingsley says, NOW LET'S GET A NEW BOOK. THAT'S ALL.

Aria says, LET'S GO GET A BOOK.

Colin narrates, NOW, THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO PICK UP THE BOOKS THAT MOM AND DAD HAVE ON HOLD. BUT PICKING OUT YOUR OWN BOOK IS WAY MORE FUN!

Kingsley stops and plays with toys on a table.

[Upbeat music plays]

Aria says, KINGSLEY, COME.

Colin narrates, WHILE ARIA BROWSES THE AISLES, KINGSLEY TAKES CARE OF IMPORTANT KID BUSINESS, LIKE PLAYING WITH BLOCKS AND HACKING INTO SUPER SECRET GOVERNMENT ALIEN FILES.

Kingsley types on a computer.

Subtitle: “What books do you like?”

Kingsley says, THIS ONE, THIS ONE, THIS ONE, THIS ONE...

Aria says, NO, ONE.

Kingsley says, THIS ONE.

Aria says, OKAY, LET'S GO.

Kingsley stands beside the bookshelf.

Kingsley sings, ROCK-A-BYE BABY, ON THE TREETOP...

Aria says, KINGSLEY!

Kingsley says, UH-OH. YOU'RE GONNA USE ALL YOUR MONEY.

A librarian asks, DID YOU WANT ME TO GIVE YOU A NEW BAG?

Aria says, SURE.

[Background chatter]

The librarian says, THERE YOU GO.

Aria says, THANK YOU.

The librarian says, YOU'RE WELCOME. HAVE A GOOD DAY.

Aria says, YOU TOO.

Colin narrates, WELL, THEY FORGOT MOM AND DAD'S BOOKS THAT WERE ON HOLD, BUT AT LEAST THEY GOT SOME BEDTIME STORIES FOR THEMSELVES.

Aria says, OKAY.

Aria holds the door open for Kingsley as they leave the library.

[Engines humming]

Kingsley says, GO, ARIA.

Aria says, OKAY, LET'S GO.

Colin narrates, AND NOW, TO THE BAKERY!

Aria asks, ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?

Kingsley says, MM-HMM.

Aria takes Kingsley’s hand.

Aria says, NOW WE COULD RUN.

They run together.

Kingsley says, RUN!

They stop by a crossing guard. Aria pushes a button and the crossing guard holds up his sign.

Aria says, STOP! KINGSLEY, PAY ATTENTION TO THE ROAD.

Aria tells the crossing guard, THANKS.

Colin narrates, AND FINALLY...

[Both children cheering]

Colin narrates, THEY MADE IT TO THE BAKERY!

[Kingsley indistinct chatter]

They enter the bakery.

Aria says, ALL RIGHT, GO.

Kingsley says, LET'S GO.

A cashier says, HELLO.

Aria says, HI.

The cashier asks, YOU WANT A DONUT?

Kingsley says, YEAH.

Aria says, UM, COULD WE HAVE TWO COFFEES FOR MY PARENTS?

Kingsley says, AND A SPRINKLE DONUT.

Aria says, AND CAN WE HAVE TWO HOT CHOCOLATES...

Kingsley says, SPRINKLE DONUT.

Aria says, ONE "CAMOLI," AND--

The cashier asks, ONE CANNOLI?

Aria says, YEAH. AND, UM, A SPRINKLE DONUT FOR HIM, AND I'LL TAKE, UM, A SPRINKLE CHOCOLATE.

The cashier says, OKAY. ONE SECOND.

[Background tapping]

Aria says, AND A CHOCOLATE.

The cashier says, AND A CHOCOLATE?

Aria says, YEAH, AND SHE USUALLY LIKES AN ESPRESSO, AN ESPRESSO.

The cashier says, AN ESPRESSO?

Aria says, YEAH, AN ESPRESSO.

The cashier says, OKAY. IT'S GOING TO BE 10.37.

Aria pays.

[Upbeat music plays, espresso splashing]

Colin narrates, OKAY, LET'S SEE. ARIA ASKED FOR TWO COFFEES AND TWO HOT CHOCOLATES, BUT SHE WAS ONLY GIVEN ONE ESPRESSO. GUESS DAD WILL BE MAKING HIS OWN.

AND THEY ONLY GOT ONE CANNOLI INSTEAD OF THE BOX, AND ONLY THREE DONUTS, WHICH MEANS ONE FAMILY MEMBER ISN'T GONNA GET A DONUT. LET ME GUESS WHO. POOR DAD.

Aria says, I HAVE A LOT OF BAGS.

The cashier repeats, YOU HAVE A LOT OF BAGS?

Aria says, YEAH, I'M NOT GONNA LIE. NOW I HAVE A LOT OF BAGS TO CARRY.

Colin narrates, WELL, THAT'S WHAT LITTLE BROTHERS ARE FOR. OR MAYBE NOT.

Aria carries the book bag, the bakery goods, and the espresso.

[Upbeat music plays]

The cashier says, BYE, GUYS. BE CAREFUL.

Aria says, OKAY.

Snow falls as Aria and Kingsley leave the bakery.

Aria asks, DID YOUR DONUT LOOK YUMMY?

Kingsley says, YEAH.

Aria says, LET'S GO. NEED TO HURRY BEFORE THIS COFFEE GETS COLD, RIGHT?

Kingsley says, MM-HMM.

Aria walks in front of Kingsley. He walks slowly and sticks out his tongue.

Colin narrates, YOU COULD HURRY, OR YOU COULD CATCH SNOWFLAKES ON YOUR TONGUE. EITHER WAY, I THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

[Engines humming]

Aria asks, DO YOU WANNA GO BY THE CANDY STORE?

Kingsley says, OKAY.

Colin narrates, OKAY. I TAKE THAT BACK.

Kingsley says, CANDY STORE! CANDY STORE!

Colin narrates, CANDY STORE! CANDY STORE! I WANT CANDY TOO!

Kingsley says, CANDY STORE!

Colin narrates, MEANWHILE, BACK AT HOME...

[Upbeat music plays]

In the house, Vanessa paces while Victor sits on the couch.

Vanessa asks, WHERE COULD THEY HAVE GONE? LIKE...

Subtitle: “Don’t tell me they didn’t buy me my stuff and be like oh I’m going to take this money and go buy candy instead.”

Colin narrates, THIS MOM KNOWS HER KIDS.

Aria opens a store door and Kingsley follows her inside.

Kingsley says, WOW, IS THIS CANDY STORE?

Aria says, YEAH.

Colin narrates, FIRST DONUTS, NOW CANDY? THIS JUST BECAME THE GREATEST
ERRAND OF ALL TIME!

[Background chatter]

Aria says, I WANNA GET THIS FOR MY MOM.

Colin narrates, THIS IS AN IMPORTANT LIFE LESSON. IF YOU'RE GONNA GO WHERE YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO, IT'S VERY SMART TO GET GIFTS FOR MOM AND DAD. THAT WAY, THEY CAN'T BE MAD AT YOU.

Kingsley says, DID YOU GET ONE ALREADY, ARIA?

Aria says, SO, I HAVE FIVES. ALL FIVES.

Aria puts five-dollar bills on the counter. She looks at the espresso.

Aria says, OH, NO. IT DRIPPED. WELL, AT LEAST WE STILL GOT OUR SNACKS.

Aria and Kingsley leave the store. Kingsley carries the bag with the books, and Aria carries everything else.

[Bell rings]

Colin narrates, IMPORTANT LIFE LESSON NUMBER TWO: WHO CARES ABOUT MOM'S ESPRESSO WHEN YOU HAVE CANDY AND DONUTS?

Aria says, THE BEST THING ABOUT WALKING BY OURSELF IS THAT WE CAN HAVE SNACKS.

[Engines humming]

Kingsley asks, THAT WAY OR THAT WAY? THIS WAY? OKAY.

Aria says, ALMOST HOME. HURRY!

Kingsley follows Aria. At home, Vanessa and Victor walk out onto their porch.

[Upbeat music plays]

Victor says, LET'S SEE HOW THEY DID.

Colin narrates, AH, THE KIDS ARE FINALLY BACK ON THEIR BLOCK. SURE, IT MAY NOT HAVE GONE TOTALLY SMOOTH, BUT THEY MADE IT.

Victor runs up the street and Kingsley runs towards his parents.

Vanessa says, HI!

Kingsley says, DAD!

Victor says, OH, YOUR HANDS ARE FULL!

Vanessa says, HI, GUYS.

Aria says, MOM, YOUR ESPRESSO KINDA GOT KINDA COLD AND DRIPPED.

Vanessa says, GIVE ME A HUG. OH, IT DRIPPED?

Kingsley hugs Vanessa.

Vanessa says, HEY!

Victor says, OH, MY GOSH. WHERE DID YOU GET CANDY?

Vanessa asks, WHY IS THERE CANDY IN HERE?

Aria says, WE WENT TO THE CANDY STORE.

In the interview, Vanessa says, I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY EVEN FOUND THEIR WAY BACK.

Victor says, YEAH.

Vanessa says, FROM THE CONVENIENCE STORE. I'VE NEVER TAKEN THEM TO THE CONVENIENCE STORE.

Victor says, BUT I GUESS THEY'RE SMARTER THAN WE THOUGHT.

Victor says, YOU TWO ARE SO GROWN-UP NOW.

Vanessa asks, ARE YOU PROUD OF YOURSELF?

Aria says, MM-HMM!

Victor asks, WOULD YOU DO IT AGAIN?

Aria says, YEAH.

Kingsley says, NO.

[Both parents laughing]

In the interview, Victor says, THEY DID GREAT. LIKE, AT THE END OF THE DAY, THEY'RE BACK, THEY'RE SAFE, THEY BROUGHT BACK BOOKS, THEY BROUGHT BACK SNACKS. THEY MADE IT HOME SAFE. I FEEL RELIEF. I DEFINITELY FEEL RELIEF.

In the kitchen, Aria asks, WHY IS DAD MAKING COFFEE?

[Coffee splashing]

Vanessa says, BECAUSE YOU GUYS WERE SUPPOSED TO BRING TWO COFFEES HOME.

Aria says, OH.

[Upbeat music plays]

In the interview, Vanessa says, I THINK THEY GENUINELY HAD A LOT OF FUN. THEY LOVED THE IDEA THAT WE TRUSTED THEM. THEY LOVED TAKING CONTROL.

The children eat their donuts.

Aria says, MMM!

Victor asks, IS THAT GOOD?

Aria says, MM-HMM.

Victor picks up the cannoli.

He says, LET ME TRY.

In the interview, Vanessa says: I THINK I WOULD TRY THIS AGAIN WITH THEM.

Victor says, NO, WE'RE NOT TRYING AGAIN.

[Laughing]

In the kitchen, everyone holds their hands together.

Vanessa counts, ONE, TWO, THREE.

Everyone lifts their arm.

Everyone shouts, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
