I called this emergency meeting because we're having a family crisis. We don't do anything together as a family anymore. I think we need to spend more time together.
Brother Bear But we're spending time together right now. [He smiles and Sister nods, but then they look up in surprise at Mama's next words.]
Mama Bear I mean special family time together when we go out and do things as a family, like spending a day at the beach, or visiting the Bear Sounion Institution.
I guess the problem is just trying to find the time.
Exactly, so I say we make the time. I porpose that next Saturday we go on a special family picnic.
We haven’t done that in a while.
I love picnics.
I’ll bring my ant jar… Only my Bear Scout Troop’s having our car wash for charade next Saturday.
And next Saturday is Lizzy's Birthday.
And I have to finish the Squire’s end table next Saturday. [Mama sighs] What about spending time together after all that?
I know, we can go see a movie.
But we would be just sitting in a dark room eating popcorn. That's not really the special family time I had in mind. [sighs] But if that's the best we can do, then a movie it is. [Brother and Sister hug Mama,] At least we'll be doing something together as a family.
