It's the thought that counts.

Hi, Mom.

I just called to say happy birthday.

Liam!

Thank you, sweetheart.

I'm so happy to hear your voice.

It's such a pity I couldn't be there today.

Don't worry, darling.

I know you're busy with exams.

I was so surprised when I got your gift yesterday.

It was so thoughtful of you.

Oh, I'm so glad you got it in time.

The pillow you made for me, it's absolutely perfect.

And the message you wrote on it is so touching.

I also love how you decorated it.

It must have taken you ages It did take some time,

but it was worth it I wanted to buy you something,

but I just couldn't afford this year Money has been tight lately,

so I decided to make you something instead This is the best present you could have given me

The care you put into making something special for me reflects your love Well,

I'm glad you like it.

When it comes to gifts,

it's the thought that counts.

Remember that.

I suppose you're right.

And I count myself fortunate to have a son like you.

Can I throw a party?

Hey, Mom.

Yes, darling.

You know my birthday is coming up?

Yes, of course.

I was wondering if I could throw a party.

Where?

Here.

Oh, okay.

Let me just call your father.

This needs to be a family discussion.

Brian!

Yes?

Ben would like to have a party here for his birthday.

I think it's okay, but I wanted to check with you first and set some ground rules.

Ah, right, yes.

I think that would be okay.

But as your mother said, we will set rules.

You must follow them to make sure we can build trust.

Yes, thank you so much.

Of course, I understand this,

and I'll certainly try to comply with your rules.

That's good to hear.

Firstly, I think we must set a guest limit.

I think 20 friends is plenty.

What do you think, Brian?

Yes, no more than 20.

What kind of party are you thinking of?

I just wanted to order pizza,

play some video games, and chat.

That sounds fine and calm.

I agree.

We must be here for the party, though.

But we promise to stay out of your way.

Really?

Absolutely.

I know you're turning 16,

but some of your friends are younger,

so somebody must be here, just in case.

Okay.

Lastly, no alcohol.

If you try and sneak it in,

there will be no more talk of parties again.

Do you understand?

Yes, Mom.

That goes without saying.

Great!

It sounds like you'll have a great time.

Ben, you invite your friends and ask them what pizza they like.

That way I can pre-order and make sure it arrives when you want it to.

Brill!

Thanks, Mom.

Saying goodbye.

Right then, son.

This is it.

Oh, my beautiful boy.

I'm so proud of you.

Thanks, Mom.

Thanks, Dad.

Although we both feel emotions with our last child flying the nest,

We're very happy for you and know you'll do so well.

Thanks.

It's a big change, and I'm feeling so nervous now.

I was fine until we arrived.

Now it's real, and you guys will go back home and leave me here.

I think you should set about today making new friends.

You're bound to meet others in your accommodation too.

Don't forget, everybody's in the same position.

Your dad's right.

Once you've made some great friends,

you'll feel more at home.

You'll meet people when you start your course, too.

And make sure you try out for the soccer team.

100

Once you've settled, you won't even think about coming home.

101

At the moment, I can't see that happening.

102

You'll be surprised.

103

Moving out of home is big.

104

When I went to college,

105

I couldn't even cook a potato.

106

But it wasn't long before I got a handle on independence.

107

Just remember to give your course everything you've got, son.

108

It won't be long before you are tempted by all the partying and enjoy them.

109

But don't forget why you're here.

110

You've got a bright future ahead of you.

111

Thanks, Dad.

112

I'm going to miss you both so much.

113

See you at Thanksgiving, son.

114

Have fun and study hard.

115

Where in the world?

116

Sol, if you could visit any country in the world,

117

where would you go?

118

Why would you go there?

119

And what would you do?

120

Wow, that's a big question.

121

I've got my list of the countries I want to visit in order.

122

And the top of it is Brazil.

123

Interesting.

124

Why Brazil?

125

To me, it just seems so diverse.

126

It's full of culture, fascinating stories, and incredible landscapes.

127

It also has lovely warm weather.

128

Very different to here right now.

129

You're right.

130

It looks like a fascinating country.

131

So what would you do there?

132

I've got a deep passion for nature and ecology,

133

so I'd love to explore the Amazon rainforest and spot some native wildlife.

134

I've also always wanted to visit Rio de Janeiro and dip my toes in the waters of Copacabana Beach.

135

That sounds breathtaking.

136

How about you, Gina?

137

Where would you go?

138

For me, it'd have to be India.

139

Nice!

140

Why India?

141

It's about the culture, the color, and sampling fresh spices.

142

Oh, yes.

143

That'd be incredible.

144

What would you do there?

145

I'd head straight to Mumbai.

146

I want to see Bollywood firsthand.

147

However, I wouldn't be able to visit the country without visiting the Taj Mahal.

148

Especially as it's one of the seven wonders of the world.

149

Absolutely.

150

Then and now.

151

Is this a family photo?

152

That's right.

153

But you're not in it.

154

Yes, I am.

155

See this plump boy over here?

156

Well, that's me.

157

What?

158

You're kidding, right?

159

No, I'm not.

160

I used to look very different back then.

161

Yes, you're so slim and athletic now and you look so much better.

162

Did you have plastic surgery or something?

163

No way.

164

But I used to hate sport and I liked eating junk food and sweets.

165

The situation is different now.

166

I exercise every day, and I'm careful with what I eat.

167

Not just for weight problems,

168

but because when I eat good, I feel good.

169

And your hair, it was much longer.

170

Yeah, now I like to keep my hair short.

171

And you wore glasses?

172

Yes, I used to wear glasses, but I don't anymore.

173

You wear contact lenses?

174

No, I just had laser vision correction a few years ago,

175

so I don't need glasses anymore.

176

I can see perfectly now.

177

Wow!

178

That's amazing!

179

Tell me more about yourself.

180

How's your milkshake?

181

It's incredible!

182

I always choose the same,

183

but I love it so much.

184

How's yours?

185

It's great.

186

I've not tried this one before.

187

I like to choose something new each time I come here.

188

Ha!

189

That's so funny.

190

What is?

191

That we're opposites.

192

Judging by how we choose our milkshakes,

193

our personalities are entirely different.

194

That's true.

195

So, you like to play life safe and stick to what you know.

196

At the same time, I'm a risk taker,

197

always seeking something new to try.

198

Absolutely.

199

Tell me more about yourself.

200

Well, I tend to shy away from new situations.

201

Wait until I've sussed everything out before I get involved.

202

I'm quite shy, really.

203

You don't seem it.

204

I always jump into a new situation,

205

but that sometimes goes wrong and I mess up because I don't know what's happening.

206

Oh, really?

207

Yeah, I've found myself in some messes before.

208

Do you think the fact we're complete opposites is good,

209

or do you think we're doomed?

210

Huh, good questions.

211

It could work both ways.

212

But mostly, I think you could help me to calm down.

213

And I could help you to take more risks.

214

Maybe we'll even each other out.

215

Good point.

216

I agree.

217

But most of all, I love spending time with you.

218

Aw, that's so nice.

219

I love spending time with you, too.

220

The Power Cuts Hey, ma'am.

221

That was some power cut last night.

222

Tell me about it.

223

I was curious to know if the power would ever come back on.

224

The power went off at around 6.30,

225

just when I was cooking dinner.

226

It was a nightmare.

227

We had to abandon the casserole simmering in the oven because it was electric,

228

and it still had an hour left.

229

Oh no, what a waste.

230

I know.

231

It was just Bill and me at home because Saskia was staying with her boyfriend.

232

So in the end, I just heated beans on the gas stove while Bill dug out the candles.

233

It was strangely romantic.

234

Ha ha!

235

Then, because we had nothing to do,

236

we went to bed and got an early night.

237

It wasn't too exciting.

238

How about you?

239

With the three children?

240

Well, with the forecasted storm we had coming our way,

241

I thought the power would go.

242

And with the kitties, I had to be prepared.

243

We'd eaten and washed up by the time it went off.

244

Aww.

245

That made everything much easier.

246

Oh, well done, you.

247

Yeah, we turned it into a game.

248

We lit candles around the house and put fresh batteries in any string lights we had.

249

Good idea.

250

We started by making shadow puppets.

251

It was great fun.

252

And Dan, my husband, is so clever.

253

He told the children a story about a shadow puppet rabbit.

254

It sounds like you had a great time.

255

That's right.

256

We spent quality time together.

257

Then we snuggled down and read lots of stories by candlelight.

258

It was very relaxing and the children fell asleep much quicker than usual.

259

Then we went to bed super early as well.

260

What did people do before television?

261

Life After High School I can't believe we've nearly finished high school.

262

It's madness.

263

I know.

264

Three more months and a lot of exams to go,

265

but then we're free.

266

It's very exciting.

267

Are you going to go to college?

268

I haven't quite made my mind up.

269

My mom and dad want me to,

270

but I don't think it's for me.

271

How about you?

272

It's college all the way.

273

If all goes to plan,

274

I'll be going straight away to study mathematics.

275

Wow, that's impressive.

276

Yeah, I'm so excited.

277

I've always wanted to go to college.

278

I've got big dreams to make a difference in the world of numbers.

279

Good for you, mate.

280

So, if you're not going to go to college, what will you do?

281

That's a good question.

282

My dad thinks that if I don't go off to study,

283

I should do an apprenticeship or learn a vocation.

284

You don't seem keen on that idea either.

285

It's not that I don't want to get a career,

286

but I don't know what I want to do yet.

287

I don't want to waste my time studying and training in something that isn't what I want to do long term.

288

I'd say that's a fair point.

289

I've been saving my hard-earned cash for years now,

290

and I think I'm going to travel for a bit.

291

See some of the big wide world and work out what I want.

292

I'd be going against my family's wishes,

293

but I want to do what's right for me.

294

Dan, I think that's an excellent plan.

295

Our parents will always push for what they think is best for us,

296

but we're old enough to make up our minds.

297

Exactly.
