Opposite Day Big and Small

.

# It doesn't matter if you're tiny or tall

# It doesn't matter if you're big or small

# If you want to have fun it doesn't matter at all

-# You've got it, Big!

-Why, thank you, Small!

BOTH: # Skipping, flipping, climbing up a rope

# Hiding, riding, sliding down a slope

# Skating on an ice cube, swinging on a star

-# It makes no difference what size you are!

-Nice!

# If you want to have fun it doesn't matter at all

-# Cos here we are, we're Big and Small!

-Yeah!

-#

OK, that's a bowl for you and a bowl for me

and a spoon for you and a spoon for me.

-That's breakfast.

-I don't want it.

-But we always have cereal.

I say, bowl for you, bowl for me, spoon for you, spoon for me,

and then we eat cereal, Small.

Well, I don't want it.

I am sick, sick, sick and also tired of cereal.

-I want "not cereal".

-What's "not cereal"?

"Not cereal" is things like, um, smashed potatoes.

Oh, and mushy peas.

And bananas and tomatoes. Ooh, and ham and jam.

No, no, no, no. Those things are for dinner, Small.

-This... this is breakfast.

-You've got to live large, Big.

You've got to think outside the box.

Be wild. Be free.

I don't think I can do that.

-Oh, Big, Big, Big, did you forget?

-Forget what?

-Um...?

Think, Small, think.

Ooh! Opposite Day! Yes, Opposite Day!

The famous national holiday we celebrate every year on...um...

..um... Yeah, ooh, right here.

Um... um... There we go.

Ha-ha-ha. See? Today is Opposite Day!

You're right, Small. It is Opposite Day!

Um, I forget how we celebrate that.

-With cake.

-Cake?

-Lots of cake.

And a present for me.

But, mostly, we just do everything opposite.

So instead of eating breakfast for breakfast,

we eat dinner for breakfast?

Exactly, Big!

Ha-ha. OK, then. All right.

-Smashed potatoes, here we come!

-Ha-ha-ha!

Woo-hoo!

-Oh, so far I'm loving Opposite Day, Small.

-Yeah!

-But why are we in bed?

Well, because you always say, "Don't eat in bed, Small."

-Yeah, that's what I say.

-Yeah.

But also because we're usually zooming around by now

-so the opposite of zooming around is...

-Going back to bed.

-Ha-ha!

-Actually, the complete opposite would be if we swapped ends.

-You're right!

-I am!

-Ha-ha!

-Sorry.

-Ha-ha!

-I'm sorry.

Oh, whoa! The room looks totally different from here, Small.

Ah... and now I get to play with the alarm clock.

-Ha-ha-ha!

-RINGING

He-he-he.

Ah!

-RINGING

-Yeah!

-Right on! Ha-ha-ha!

-Shall I read a story?

-Yeah, you should.

And you should read it backwards.

Oh, that's a good idea. A-hem! Ready?

OK. Read.

OK, OK, OK.

Oh. "End the.

"After ever happily lived Big and prince the and frog the so and.

"Me splash don't you as long as you with it share will I frog

"said I so And."

Big, I have to tell you, that wasn't my favouritest story.

-Me neither. Good night, Small.

-Big night, Good. Ha-ha-ha.

Ah, this is...

-Oh, wait, wait, wait!

-What? What? What?

-I almost forgot... You should have T Rex.

-Um, no. No way.

Dinosaurs, they aren't opposite.

-They aren't opposite like that, Big.

-Oh.

-OK.

-Phew.

OK.

-Big.

-Yeah?

-I'm not actually tired.

-Me neither.

In fact, I'm the opposite of tired.

Oh, and the opposite of tired means you want to get up and do things.

Yeah! Woo-hoo! Let's go!

Ha! Yeah! Yeah!

La-la-la-la-la!

La-la-la... books, gone! Ha-ha!

Oooh!

Ooh! Ha-ha!

Yeah, OK! "Hello and goodbye!"

Ha-ha! Yeah!

Ooh!

Ha! Ha-ha!

OK, so what can we do that's the complete opposite

of what we normally... Aaaargh!

Ouch!

I'm OK.

I'm fine.

Small! Oh, Small, we just cleaned this room yesterday!

I know. And now I'm un-cleaning it. Ha-ha-ha!

Un-clean?

You mean like...

..like that?

-No, Big, not like that. Like this. Stand back.

-Sorry.

Ha-ha-ha!

-See? That's loads more fun.

-Small, that was so exciting.

OK, OK, OK, I've got...

Ha-ha-ha!

Oooh! Ha-ha-ha!

-Back up, back up.

-OK, OK, OK.

-Ready? OK, and...!

Ha-ha-ha!

Yeah!

-Oh, I get it now!

-Yeah.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

-The cupboard.

-Perfect.

Ha-ha-ha!

He-he-he.

-What are you two doing?

-Hm?

-What does it look like?

-We're making a mess.

Yeah!

Yeah! Ha-ha-ha!

Because it's Opposite Day, Ruby.

Opposite Day? What's that?

Well... He-he-he!

# Why walk around backwards and have breakfast for dinner?

# Why cheer every loser like they were the winner?

# Why do we mix our things up in this way?

# That's what we do on our Opposite Day

BOTH: # It's crazy but fun on Opposite Day

# I'll do the opposite of what you say

# Tell me to come and I'll go away

# It's crazy but fun on Opposite, Opposite Day

# Why wear gloves on our feet and our socks on our hands?

# Why do I sit when you tell me to stand?

# Why sleep through the day, then play through the night?

# If the world's upside-down, oh what a delight

BOTH: # It's crazy but fun on Opposite Day

# I'll do the opposite of what you say

# Tell me to come and I'll go away

-# It's crazy but fun on Opposite, Opposite Da-a-a-y!

-Yeah! #

Ha-ha-ha! Ah-ha-ha-ha!

He-he-he. Ah, OK, Ruby, what did you think?

-I think you're both silly.

-Oh.

But wait, it's Opposite Day.

-That means you liked it, right?

-No!

-He-he-he.

There you go again. You said no, but you meant yes.

No, I didn't!

-Brilliant, Ruby.

-Yeah.

Hey, Big. Driving my car will be opposite.

you drive your car every day, Small.

But I don't drive it backwards! Ha-ha-ha!

I have an idea.

OK, it's a backwards race

and the first one to the apple tree is the winner.

And you, Ruby, you're the referee

who gets to say, one, two, three, go!

One, two, three, go!

Aaaargh!

-Shouldn't that be, three, two...

-No. Shoo!

-No, wait... oh!

-I mean... ha-ha-ha!

I'm winning! I'm winning!

I'm catching up. OK, I'm catching up.

I'm catching up!

Aaargh!

I'm winning! I'm winning! Whoa!

-Ha-ha-ha!

-Whoa.

-Big won!

Except, if it's Opposite Day, then Small won.

You're right. Congratulations, Small.

Yay! I won!

Hooray for Opposite Day!

Hey, Big, I'm tired of all this oppositing.

-Yeah, me too.

-And there's a fish in my ear.

And I bumped my head, Small.

Hey, you know what would be really opposite?

Doing the opposite of opposite.

You mean we can just be normal again?

-Yay! And, woo-hoo!

-Wait, wait!

I only just found out about Opposite Day and now it's over?

It doesn't totally have to be over, Ruby.

I liked having smashed potatoes for breakfast.

-We could do that again tomorrow.

-Oh, yeah! With mushy peas.

Do you know what? You'll never want plain old cereal again!

LAUGHTER
