2. 0:01swap [music] ages with them. You see,

4. 0:04other, you poof into each other's age,
5. 0:06and you stay that way until you hug
6. 0:07again. So nobody here hugs, ever. At
7. 0:09weddings, people shake hands. Moms pat
8. 0:11their babies on the head, and a dad
9. 0:12[music] down the street hugged his
10. 0:13newborn son once, and now he's a baby,
11. 0:15and his son has to pay the bills. Then
12. 0:16it was my grandpa's 90th birthday.
13. 0:17[music] He sat in his wheelchair with
14. 0:19his cake, and my mom asked what he
15. 0:20wanted. He looked right at me. Just one
16. 0:22hug. The whole room gasped. I'm 12. I
17. 0:24knew exactly what would happen, but it
18. 0:25was his 90th birthday. So [music] I
19. 0:27hugged him. Poof! My back cracked, my
20. 0:28knees creaked, my hair turned gray, and
21. 0:30standing in front of me was a
22. 0:3112-year-old kid in my grandpa's sweater.
23. 0:33[music] He looked down at his hands,
24. 0:34then he sprinted out the front door. He
25. 0:36climbed the tallest tree on our street.
26. 0:37He rode my bike down the biggest hill in
27. 0:39town. He ate three ice cream cones and
28. 0:40did a cannonball into the lake, and I
29. 0:42sat on the porch in his wheelchair
30. 0:43[music] watching him all day. Honestly,
31. 0:45I didn't mind. When the sun went down,
32. 0:46he finally came back up the driveway,
33. 0:48soaking wet, knees scraped up, grinning
34. 0:49ear to ear. Best day I've had in 80
35. 0:51[music] years, he said. Then he put his
36. 0:53arms around me. Poof! I was 12 again,
37. 0:55and he was back in his wheelchair, still
38. 0:56dripping lake water. Now every year on
39. 0:58his birthday, I give my grandpa one hug,
40. 1:00and he gets to be a kid for one day.
