[narrator] The babies are in the kitchen
because it's time to eat.
Chī! Chī!
That's right, Tilly, time to eat.
-[tummy rumbling]
-Oh.
My tummy is saying, "I'm hungry."
-[Kip's tummy rumbling]
-Oh!
My tummy is shouting, "I'm hungry."
So, what's for lunch?
[narrator] Today, you can choose
what you'll have for lunch.
Uh, let's have broccoli!
Teeny, tiny trees--
[Lulu yelling] Noodles for lunch!
We could have noodles again
if you really want them, Lulu.
-Do you?
-[Lulu] I do!
Ha! Well, looks like
we're singing about noodles again.
Let's go, go, go!

Noodles!
See? I sing, they come.
[giggles]
Aww, I like it when Lulu makes that face.
That's a smile.
I smile because I'm happy!
[Kip] Uh, I don't like it
when Franny makes that face.
I really wanted broccoli.
Maybe you could have noodles and broccoli.
[gasps] You think so?
[Bailey] Yeah!
[narrator] Babies, there are more foods
to choose from inside the fridge.
[Franny giggles]
Maybe, maybe, maybe...
Yes! Broccoli!
Hey, look, Franny's smiling.
That's because I'm happy now, too.
[sighs]
Teeny, tiny trees!
-Done!
-Done!
-Done!
-Huh?
-[Bailey] Oh!
-[Lulu] Clickety Clock!
What time is it, big kids?
Not yet. Not yet!
[big kids] Time to go outside!
[all] Yay!
[munching] Wait a minute!
I'm not finished with my broccoli.
She's making that face again.
Um, Franny, you could finish eating
and then meet us outside.
-[Lulu] Yeah!
-[Kip] Yeah, come on. Go, go!
Wait, wait, wait! I like it
when we all finish eating together.
Just don't do anything fun without me!
[Lulu] Let's play, let's play!
[Bailey] Yeah!
[Lulu gasps] Look, a butterfly.
Oh, so pretty.
Wait, wait. Where are you going?
I think it wants us to play
Follow That Butterfly.
Oh, I love that game.
Let's go, go, go!
[comical music playing]
[comical music continues]
Follow That Butterfly is hard.
[cooing]
There you are, little butterfly.
Ooh! A butterfly!
Let's play a fun game,
Follow That Butterfly!
-[Bailey] Franny?
-[Franny] Yeah?
We just played that.
Yeah, we're too tired to play again.
Oh, but I love that game.
Well, been there, done that,
so... that's a no.
Oh. She's making that face again.
-[nervous chuckle]
-That's not a smile.
Uh, no.
That is definitely not a smile.
What is that face called, Franny?
I don't know the word for this face.
Word Wally?
Good idea!
[Lulu and Kip] Word Wally!
-[Bailey trumpets]
-[Lulu giggles]
-[Kip] There he is!
-[Lulu] There he goes!
[narrator] The babies are here
to learn words in two languages,
English and Mandarin.
Oh, I do that when I see noodles.
What's the word for that, big kids?
[big kids] Smile!
-[narrator] And in Mandarin you say...
-Xiào!
[all] Oh!
Xiào means "smile."
Oh! That's the face Franny was making.
What's this called, big kids?
[big kids] Frown!
[Kip] Oh!
-That's a frown.
-[narrator] And in Mandarin...
Zhòu méi tóu.
Zhòu méi tóu means "frown."
I was making that face because I was sad.
Oh, Franny.
Poor Franny.
Oh, that's a frown and a smile,
which are both...
[big kids] Expressions!
[Franny] Expressions.
A smile is a happy expression.
And a frown is a sad expression.
Oh, hey! But Franny, you know what?
A frown is also an upside-down smile!
Hey, I think we can turn your frown
upside-down with a...
[all] Word party!
I like that idea!
Yee-haw!
[all] ♪ Hey, have you heard?
It's a word party ♪
-♪ Learn new words for a word party ♪
-Yee-haw!

-Smile!
-Xiào!
-Frown.
-Zhòu méi tóu.

[laughter]
I love to dance.
Let's dance some more, like this.
Da-da-da, da-da-da...
-I'm kind of tired.
-Yeah, we just danced.
Yeah, been there, done that.
Let's play ball instead.
[chuckles] Here, catch, Franny.
[Kip] Oh, boy.
Uh, I don't need Word Wally
to tell me that's a frown.
Oh. I said I don't need Word Wally.
Are you sad again, Franny?
You're frowning a lot today.
It's just, I wanted to eat broccoli
with my friends
and then I wanted to play
Follow That Butterfly,
and then I wanted to dance
and not get hit by a ball!
Today's a bad day.
[narrator] Some days are like that,
but it always helps
to talk about it with your friends.
Well, I'm sorry I didn't listen
to what you wanted, Franny.
[Bailey] I'm sorry, too.
Aww, feel better.
Ahh...
It does help to talk about it
with my friends.
-Hey, I know what we should do.
-What?
We should dance some more,
because Franny loves to dance.
Oh, oh! Let's dance to a happy place!
-[Kip] Yeah! Let's do it!
-[Franny] Okay.

-[Kip] Oh!
-[Lulu] Oh, Clickety Clock!
What time is it, big kids?
[big kids] Time to sleep!
[all sigh]
[yawning]
I'm sleepy from the dancing.
You know,
today was a pretty good day after all.
You guys,
you turned my frown upside down.
Aww. Well, I love your smile.
[chuckles] Thanks.
And big kids, you make every day better.
-[Kip] Yeah.
-[Franny] Good night.
-[Kip] Nighty-night, big kids.
-[all] Bye!
[Tilly] Zài jiàn.
-[Lulu] Come on, Franny, let's go to bed.
