Episode 13 Part 1
Marta, 30's Latina is having a heated discussion with her teenage daughter, Viviana, 16-17. The discussion turns intense. MARTA: You can't stay out that late! Your curfew is 10 O'Clock! VIVIANA: But it's Kim's birthday. Everyone is staying until Midnight. MARTA: I said no. VIVIANA: Why not, mom? MARTA: Because I said so, and I'm your mother. VIVIANA: Excuse me? Well, I'm going to Kim's party and coming back at midnight because I'm your daughter. MARTA: Listen to me, Viviana de la Luz... Just as the exchange is about to get red hot... WIZARD: Freeze! The Wizard sneezes. WIZARD ROOM WIZARD: Hi. Sorry I interrupted. Rosalinda and I stayed out late last night, and I caught a nasty cold. Yes, I'm at my mother's house and she took care of me all night. This morning she had to go to work. You know, it's difficult to be a good parent. It takes patience, love and dedication. In today's episode, you will learn how important it is for parents and children to communicate. You will also learn about adjectives. Adjectives are words that describe things or people. For example... WIZARD (continues): This is Marta. She is a parent. Right now she is an ANGRY parent. Hmm She is not a CALM parent. 'Angry' and 'calm' are both adjectives. Easy, isn't it? WIZARD Sneezes WIZARD(CONTINUED): This is going to be a good lesson! Hey! 'Good' is also an adjective. (Chuckles) But now, let's get back to the story!
