Hey Everyone, I hope you all are doing well and having a wonderful week so far!
I have decided to write about one of my favorite movies called Yes Day Starring Jennifer Garner, Jenna Ortega, Edgar Ramírez, Julian Lerner, Everly Carganilla and a whole wonderful cast of people.
The movie starts off with Allison and Carlos Torres who are married with three children,Katie Nando and Ellie when Allison and Carlos first met and were dating they said yes to everything.
They were very adventurous however once they had kids they felt they must say no to protect them from hurt or danger... one evening they are called to their kids school for a parent-teacher conference where they discover there two older kids Katie and Nando have both submitted homework calling their mom a dictator, because they feel like she controls them in the different things they want do and always telling them no and not to do certain things.
She tells her husband Carlos she feels like she always plays the Bad Cop while he gets to play the Good Cop and the kids are more responsive to him because he isn't as authoritative as Allison is and she expressive frustration over this matter a school employee named Mr. Deacon overhears Allison and her husband Carlos talking and he is also a father of six gives them an idea on how he maintains order in his house he gives his kids a yes day from time to time anything they want do for 24 hours where the parents can not say no within reason.
After hearing the idea and talking about it amongst themselves they present the idea to their kids telling them if they don't get into trouble, keep their grades up, and do their chores they can have a yes day as a reward and Allison makes a wager with Katie that if Allison makes it through Yes Day Allison can go to the fleet festival with her, and if she does not make it Katie will be allowed to go with a friend Layla.
The kids eventually earn a yes day and they put together a list of five activities to do for the day, the first three are Ellie dressing her parents in crazy outfits and requesting that they don't look at anything with a screen all day.
later they all go out for ice cream and order a 40 dollar massive Sundae that is free if they can eat the whole sundae in 30 minutes they eat all of it and then they go through a car wash with the windows down and enter a capture the flag competition where each family member leads a group and the balloons are filled with Kool-Aid.
Allison wins the game for her team and wins the the children's approval and Carlos is tempted to drop out of Yes Day and he decides not to because he doesn't want to disappoint his kids and the fourth Event is a trip to Six Flags Magic Mountain, Katie steps away for a moment while they are at the park and Allison sees on Katie's phone that her and Layla will be hanging out with older boys at the Fleek Fest after seeing that Allison tells her the Wager is off and she is going to the Fleek Fest with her and not Layla.
Katie ends up storming off and in an attempt to apologize to Katie Allison tries to win a Pink Gorilla for her and then she ends up getting in a fight with another Park-goer and end up getting arrested,.
Their kids end up sneaking away Katie goes to the Fleek Fest With her friend Layla and as she is there she suddenly and quickly becomes uncomfortable being with older boys her friend leaves her, Nando stages a Nerd Party at the house as the final big Event and Ellie accidentally sets off a foam explosion inside the house which is meant for the backyard and the party gets out of control after that event happens and Katie's phone ends up dying and she is unable to contact her siblings and she starts panicking and then she gets some help from someone named H.E.R who is performing at the Event. You will have to see the rest of the movie to find out what happens next it is a happy ending.
I decided to write about this movie because Parenting sometimes can get overwhelming and can be a lot with dealing with kids and helping them along as they go through life and teaching them right and wrong and how they can make it through life one day on their own when they are all grown up and on their own making and finding their own way.
Even though Parenting can have its challenges sometimes there are also fun moments in Parenting like when you see your child take their first step, or say their first word, or take their first ride on the school bus and you wave to them from outside as they make there way to school, and when you see them get their diploma and graduate, or getting ready for prom and helping them get ready with picking out a special outfit and corsage for the girl.. and taking photos outside and those are memories you can look back on when their older and look back on the happy memories and moments together.
And sometimes Parents can explain something to their kids Multiple times over and over again and the kid will say ok I get it and the Kid keeps doing what their parents tried to explain to them multiple times about what they are doing... sometimes It isn't till someone else tells the kids what they are doing and then they hear It loud and clear because it is coming from someone else's mouth and not their parents.
I want to encourage those who are Parents and Guardians to not be to hard on yourselves, You are doing a great job with raising your kid, they will always be grateful and thankful to you for everything you have done for them and will forever cherish you and hold you in their heart forever!
Your kids will cherish all the moments you have spent with them and them with you because you are a significant part in their life with everything they will always know in their head that they will have a place to come too if they are needing some comfort or just a place to relax for awhile like their happy place where they can be themselves and not have to worry about anything because they know you will take care of them and will help them with whatever they need and Kids like to be heard if you bless with them with a yes day from time to time they will feel like they are being heard and their voices are being heard and they will know that they matter to you and loved by you!
If I had a Yes Day, I would want to go to a Disney Resort for two weeks and just have a delightful time,.I would also want to travel somewhere that I haven't been before and go on a exciting adventure, I would also like just to have a shopping spree day and just have fun!
I would also choose something fun for my dog Elijah to do! Also It is good to spend and have family time.
I love my family with all my heart and I absolutely love spending time with them,
I love my family so much to the point where after the visit is over and it is time to go back home It is hard for me to leave and say goodbye to them because I have enjoyed the visit and the time spent with them Im not ready for it to be over, I do stay in touch with my family because I want them to know how much I love and care for them and thankful and grateful for everything they have done for me make sure you cherish the moments and take in all the moments and memories you have with your family.. Family is Forever and they will always be there for you and love you no matter what. One thing about me is I love the movie LILO and Stitch, Check out the live action movie when you have the chance .. there’s a beautiful scene 🎬 where lilo and stitch are underwater and stitch can’t swim .. lilo tries to pick him up and swim with him to shore a couple of times .. because stitch is so heavy Lilo is unable to carry him to safety … and because of the love Stitch has for lilo, he makes her let go of his hand and he sinks to the bottom so she can go to shore .. Ohana means family .. and nobody gets left behind .. the other part that is touching is Nani saving Stitch because of the love Nani has for her little Sister Lilo and remembering Ohana .. she swims underwater and saves stitch and swims confidently to shore.. stitch layed down his life for Lilo because of the love he has for her and her family…. Family comes in all shapes and sizes .. your family will always love you.. and will go to the ends of the earth for you!
My favorite scene from the movie is when they go through the car wash with the windows down all their facial expressions are so funny and real as they are going through the car wash I think it will make you laugh a lot once you see the scene of the car-wash in the movie the ice cream Sundae scene is very funny too!
