Alma: “Alma the B-Girl”

Remy: Alright follow me.

We're gonna kick, and then step.

And then out.

That's it!

Kick, step, out.

Alma: You're a Checkers Champ, Lauren!

Checkers is not my jam today.

So maybe it's time to do?

Something else.

Hmm...

Junior/Rafia/Lucas: Go, Remy! Go, Remy! Go, Remy!

Remy: Kick-step-out, kick-step-out.

Kick those feet. To the beat.

Bring your freshness with the heat!

Remy: Ha-ha!

Okay, Kids' Club! Who needs some Remy time?!

Remy: Alright. Alright. Check this out.

Kick right, step right, out left, then kick.

Junior: Oh, now I got it!

Left foot out, not right foot out.

Remy: And Alma, for real, that was your first time trying the Latin Step?

Alma: Uh-huh!

Remy: You go!

Alma: I am pretty good at this.

Remy: Yes, water!

Alright, be back in a bit!

Gonna check on the other kids.

Kick, step, out.

Ugh, I keep stepping left, when I need to step right.

Remy: You got this, Junior!

Alma: Yeah, you're doing great!

Junior: Thanks.

I'm gonna get this move down before we leave today.

[boxes crash to floor]

Remy: Hang tight, Howard. I'm coming!

Alma: I wonder what board game Howard wanted to play.

What do you think, Rafia?

Rafia: Huh?

[games spilling on floor]

Mhmm?

Alma: Why do you think they call it the ‘Latin Step?!'

Junior: I don't know.

Kick, step, out.

Alma: But why isn't it called something like the Banana Slug?

Or the Pickle Step?

Lucas: [chuckle] The Pickle Step?!

[laugh] That's good.

Ooh, I got one!

What about the Tow-Truck Stomp?

Alma: Junior, what would you call it?

Junior: Kick, step, out.

Alma: Junior?

Junior?

Junior!

Junior: Agh, Alma!

Alma: What?

Junior: I really want to get this move right!

You're doing it!

That's it!

You did it! Wooo!

Junior: Ah!

Ugh!

Alma: Aww, Junior. Don't worry!

Hey, I can help you if you want.

Junior: Alma!

Please stop talking to me!

Alma: Whoa!

Why's he so grumpy?

I gotta think about this...

Junior: Didja see me?

I'm working on my Latin Step!

Alma: Junior loves practicing his dance moves!

And he's getting better and better.

That's it!

You did it! Wooo!

Junior: Ah!

Ugh!

Alma: But he seems, uh?

Frustrated.

Is it because he's not getting this move fast enough?

Junior: Kick. Uh.

Alma: Junior!

Junior!

Junior!

Junior: Ugh! Alma!

Alma: Or maybe he's frustrated because I kept interrupting him

when he was trying to focus and learn the moves.

Oh, I know what to do.

Hey, Junior?

Are you upset because I kept interrupting you?

Junior: Hm.

Alma: I'm sorry. I know how much getting that Latin Step means to you.

Junior: Uh-huh, I'm so close.

Alma: Then I promise.

No, I double promise, not to interrupt you while you practice.

Junior: Whoa, really?

A double promise?!

That's big!

Alma: Yup!

I'll even stand way way wayyy over here, and not say anything.

Junior: [giggle] You don't have to stand that far away.

You can still watch me.

Alma: Sa-weet!

Junior: Kick, step, out.

Kick, step.

Out!

Mami/Remy/Alma: [cheer]

Junior: Yes!

C'mon, let's break it down!

Alma: It's Papi's birthday.

And he's gonna be way way way surprised.

Mami: Keep an eye out for the birthday guy, ‘kay?

Alma: We'll tell ya when he's coming.

Mami: [laughs]

Junior/Alma: [laugh]

Junior: Papi, are you still sleeping?

Papi: [chuckle] ¡Buenos días! I'm awake!

I wonder if there are any surprises for me!

Hmm?!

I'm coming down now!

Junior/Alma: Ah, he's coming!

Mami/Alma/Junior: ¡Feliz cumpleaños!

Papi: ¿Quéqué? It's my birthday?

Make a wish, Papi!

Papi: [inhale]

[blows]

Mmm. It's still good! [chuckle]

Gracias, mi amor!

Junior: Gift time!

Happy Birthday, Papi!

Papi: Ay. A leaf? For me?

Gracias! Mwah!

Junior: It's the one I found that day the butterfly landed on me.

Remember?

Papi: Ah, sí!

Alma: Happy Birthday, Papi!

Papi: Ooo, that's a solid box.

Love it!

Papi: And my leaf will fit in it perfectly.

Gracias, Almita!

[Chacho barking]

Abuelo: Feliz cumpleaños, yerno!

What's the plan for your big day?

Alma: We're gonna make Papi his favorite dinner!

Junior: And watch his favorite movie.

Alma: And, let him have some quiet time.

Papi: You heard ‘em.

Abuelo: Sounds like a great day to me!

Alma: It's a Papi Day!

Junior: Yeah!

And the whole day is just for you!

Papi: Aw.

You are making me feel really special today.

Mami: Well, it makes us really happy to celebrate the day you were born.

Mwah!

Papi: Aww. Gracias!

Alma: Were you happy the day Junior and I were born?

Mami: Are you kidding?!

Of course!

Check this out!

It's you.

Alma: Woah!

Mami: And...

Junior!

Junior: Wow, I was so small.

Mami: You were my little peanut.

Alma: What was I?

Mami: You were my first little peanut.

[Chacho barks]

Alma: Show us a picture of Chacho when he was born.

Mami: Hmm.

We don't have one.

Alma: How come?

Mami: ‘Cause we're not sure when he was born.

We got him when he was a puppy.

Junior: So, we don't know how old Chacho is?

Papi: No.

I'd say he's about four years old now.

But we don't know when he was born for sure.

Alma: [gasp] But if we don't know when Chacho was born, we can't ever celebrate his birthday!

Papi/Junior/Mami: Aww.

Junior: Poor Chacho.

Alma: What should we do?

Hm, I gotta think about this...

Mami: Well, it makes us really happy to celebrate the day you were born.

Mwah!

Alma: I'm happy Chacho was born too.

And I want to celebrate that.

Papi: You are making me feel really special today.

Alma: Hmm, a birthday is about making someone feel special.

So, Chacho should have a chance to feel special too.

Junior: And the whole day is just for you!

Alma: We should have a whole day just for Chacho!

I know what to do!

Everyone in our family has a birthday.

And Chacho is part of our family.

So, we're gonna celebrate Chacho's birthday!

Junior: Um, excuse me.

But, we don't know when that is.

Alma: We'll pick a day, and we'll make it special!

Mami: Love it!

Abuelo: Buena idea!

Junior: I like it!

Alma: And I'm gonna figure this out!

This could be the perfect day for Chacho's birthday.

Alma: Or, maybe this one?

Or this one.

Oh, oh! This one!

This one?

Hmm.

[Chacho barks]

Abuelo: Chacho, give me back my sock!

[chuckle]

Alma: ¡¿Abuelo?!

Abuelo: ¿Sí, mijita?

Alma: What day do you think should be Chacho's birthday?

Do you have a special Chacho day?

Abuelo: Hmm. Maybe the first day he took my lucky sock?

August 21st.

I remember ‘cause it was the day the Sweat Sox made the playoffs! [chuckle]

[Chacho barks]

Ay! [chuckle]

Come back here, you rascal!

Alma: Hm. August 21st sounds like a good day for Chacho's birthday.

But is it the best day?

Papi: [snoring lightly]

Alma: Is this your quiet time?

Papa: Hm?

[chuckle] It was. But I always have time for you, Almita.

Alma: What day do you think would be the best day for Chacho's birthday?

Papi: Ahh, good question.

Let's see.

Hm.

Ah, here it is!

Maybe the day I found him in the park?

Papi: Ven, perrito. You're okay.

[Chacho yips]

Come here, boy.

[Chacho yips]

Let's see.

The date on the video is, June 27th.

Alma: Ooo, I like that!

Gracias, Papi!

Have a good birthday nap.

Papi: Okay. [chuckle]

Alma: June 27th!

Mami: ¿Qué, qué?

What's June 27th?

Alma: That's the day Papi found Chacho.

Should that be Chacho's birthday?

Mami: Sure.

Oh!

Or, maybe it could be the day Papi brought Chacho home.

Here, let me show my picture.

Look at this cutie!

I loved him from day one.

After Papi gave Chacho a check-up and made sure he didn't have an owner.

He brought the little fur-ball home to live with us.

The date on this photo is, July 14th.

Alma: Oh! Thanks, Mami.

So should that be Chacho's birthday?

Hmm?

Junior: Roar, roar!

Hi, Alma!

Did you pick a day for Chacho's birthday?

Alma: Not yet.

Abuelo thinks it should be the first time Chacho took his sock.

Junior: That's a great day!

Alma: But, Papi thinks it's when he found Chacho.

Junior: That's a great day too.

Alma: But, Mami thinks it could be the day Chacho came home to live with us.

Junior: Another great day.

Alma: So how do I decide which one to pick?

Junior: Hmm.

[gasp] Why don't you just ask Chacho?

Alma: That's a sa-weet idea!

Is my brother smart or what?

Guess what, boy?!

You get to pick your birthday!

[Chacho barks]

Bark when you hear your favorite day, ‘kay?

August 21st? [Chacho barks]

June 27th? [Chacho barks]

July 14th? [Chacho barks]

Junior: So, uh, he likes all those days.

Alma: Ugh, they're not even in the same month!

How can we pick a day if we can't even pick a month?!

[Chacho barks]

Junior: I know!

Chacho can pick the month!

Alma: And then we can pick the day!

Great idea, Junior!

Junior: How are you going to get Chacho to pick a month?

Alma: Hmm...

I know how!

There!

12 months.

12 ba*ls.

This is my best plan yet.

Whichever ball Chacho fetches, will be Chacho's birthday month.

Junior: This'll definitely work.

Alma: Ready?

Junior: Not yet!

Okay. Now, I'm ready.

Alma: Chacho!

January! [Chacho barks]

February! [Chacho barks]

March! [Chacho barks]

Junior: April, May, June!

Alma: July, August, September! [Chacho barks]

Junior: October, November, December!

[Chacho panting]

Uh, Alma?

Chacho didn't pick a month.

Alma: Ugh!

Nothing's working!

I just wanted to pick the best most special day for Chacho's birthday.

[Chacho happy growl]

Junior: [giggles] Well, every day with Chacho is special to me.

So for me, his birthday could be any day.

Alma: Any day?

Any day.

Any day!

That's it! I can pick any day!

Come on Chacho! It's time to pick a day!

I pick...

Tomorrow!

Mami: Tomorrow?

Alma: Tomorrow.

Mami/Papi/Junior/Abuelo: Tomorrow!

Junior: Good news, Chacho!

Your birthday's tomorrow!
