- (FBE) Welcome to "What Would My Kid Do?"
the game show where parents compete against each other
to see if they can guess what their kid buys
when we give them 100 bucks to buy whatever they want
at different stores. It's time to see who can prove
that they know their kid the most.

- Hello, my name's Lucas, and I'm in fourth grade.
- My name is Katrina, and I am nine years old
and in fourth grade. - (FBE) Do you know why you're here?
- No. - I have no idea right now.
- (FBE) I'm gonna tell you why you're here.
- Okay. - (FBE) I'm gonna give you
this $100 and you're gonna buy whatever you want.
- Holy crap.
- Are you kidding me?
- What the heck?!
- So excited! (claps)
- My name is Marco, and my son is Lucas.
- Yay. Okay, we're gonna start over here.
- My name's Will. My daughter is Katrina.
- Okay. So... - (FBE laughs) You're just ready
to go right now, huh? - Yeah.
- I think I know my son pretty well. I am hoping that I get stuff right.
- I actually have no idea what to expect from Katrina.
I'm feeling a bit apprehensive, but excited.
- (FBE) So this is how it works. I'm gonna ask you some questions
related to what your kid did in the store
with multiple choice answers. Once you choose,
we'll watch the footage and see if you were right.
- Okay. - Got it.
- There is over one million toys in this,
and I only have $100. And say I bought--
I already passed my $100 and I see something I want,
I would have to trade something out, which I don't like doing,
'cause it makes me feel sad for putting the toy back.
So we're just gonna cross fingers
that I don't go over my budget today.
- (FBE) Lucas buys something that is his "favorite thing
in the world." What is it?
Hatchimal, slime, PopSocket, or a big stuffed animal?
- You know what? I think I know him pretty well.
Let's say... slime.
- (FBE) All right, go ahead and throw the headphones on,
and let's see what happens. - I have $100,
and I get to buy whatever I want. My dad's gonna kill me,
but I don't care! - (Marco chuckles)
- Slime's my favorite thing in the whole entire world.
We're gonna get this. - (Marco) Knew it!
I feel good. Starting off on the right foot.
- (FBE) The next question is for Katrina.
How long does it take Katrina to pick out her first toy:
30 seconds, two minutes, seven minutes, or 20 minutes?
- Well, she's picky. I would say two minutes.
- So let's start over at this area.
I don't know...
(ding) - (Will) Come on, two minutes.
No, pick something! - Acrylics?
No. (buzzer)
- (Will) Oh, there she is. She's picky.
- I have $100, and... I don't know what I'm gonna get.
There's so many things. Maybe let's go look back
in the front again. - (FBE) Katrina, is there anyone
you'd like to get a present for? - Uh, not really.
- (Will chuckles) - So let's look over here.
Oh, it's a puzzle. - (Will) I am not surprised.
- Oh, it's not that kind.
How much is this?
Wait. Oh, $10. Okay.
I'll have... - (Will) Seven minutes.
- ...a smaller pony to customize and a bigger one.
- (FBE) We're gonna show you a reaction from Lucas
when he found something special to kind of give you context
for this next question. - Marbles go everywhere.
My dog will eat them. He'll die. No, we're good.
(gasps loudly) - Whoa.
- (FBE) What item do you think (chuckles) got Lucas that excited?
- (gasps loudly) - Let's Go Fishin',
a Pie Face Game, the Crocodile Dentist,
or Fantastic Gymnastics?
- He is into gymnastics and dancing and flipping
and jumping and...
So I'm hoping it's Fantastic Gymnastics here.
- Oh my god. I am so excited I saw this. I love this game.
(buzzer) You open it, you put a finger down,
if it doesn't-- - (Marco) God.
- You'll get your finger bruised. - Crocodile?!
I've never even seen that game before.
He's never even mentioned it before for God's sake.
- (FBE) After much consideration, which of the following toys
did Katrina pick out? Was it a Nerf gun,
a mini dress kit for dolls, art supplies, or slime?
- Well, she has tons of slime, tons and tons of slime,
but I am gravitating to art supplies.
She's an excellent artist.
- (FBE) Can you tell me about slime?
- It's super squishy. It's just so satisfying.
I see it all over YouTube, and it's floppy.
- (FBE) Are you gonna buy some today?
- No. - (Will) No.
Good girl. (chuckles)
- This might be a little too expensive.
Aw, that looks so cute. That's...
It looks so cute. Oh my gosh, it's heavy. It's heavy.
(buzzer) It can't fit in the basket.
- (FBE) I'll carry it for you. - Okay.
Thank you. - (Will) Ohhh.
- 'Cause I wanna design a dress or-- and I'll probably
put it on the ponies when I'm done customizing it. Yay!
- Come to think of it, she does have lots
of art supplies.
- (FBE) Do you think Lucas came in under budget
or over budget and by how much?
$10 under, $1 under, $50 over, or $100 over?
- Well, because it wasn't his money,
I'm gravitating towards $50 over.
He always goes for the expensive stuff.
I like his taste.
- I'm scared now.
- (Marco) Oh, god.
(cash register beeping and whirring) Come on, over budget!
♪ (drum roll) ♪
- (cashier) Your total is $201 with 34 cents.
- (squeakily) Noo! (buzzer)
- (Marco) Holy sm-- I knew he was gonna be over,
but not that much. (laughs) There he goes.
Start taking things out. - Sorry, dog, but...
This isn't fair. - (Marco) I'm glad he's realizing
the value of a dollar. - I started off all happy,
but now I'm sad that I have to put away everything.
- (Marco) Now you know how we feel, buddy,
when we've gotta pay for your stuff.
One for three. (buzzer)
That's not good. - (FBE) On to the next question.
Katrina says that she wants something super duper cool.
- I want something that's super duper cool.
- (FBE) So what does she end up getting:
a science kit, an LED circuit board,
a board game kit, or a stuffed animal kit?
- Board game kit. She makes her own games.
- Mm.
(buzzer) The reason why I chose this,
because it looked very simple and fun.
- That's good. That's what I would've suggested.
I'm surprised.
- (FBE) Lucas now has $10 to spend
after putting everything back. What does he spend it on:
Nerf football, Glow Dough Slime,
one Calico creature, or a PopSocket?
- If I see the word slime anywhere, I think I'm gonna go with slime.
- Should I get a Glow Dough, or should I get a PopSocket?
'Cause the PopSockets are $10. - (Marco) Oh no.
- You know what? I have a PopSocket already.
- (Marco) Yes! - So I'll get the two Glow Doughs.
- I'll take it. (ding)
- (FBE) So now we're on to Will.
What kind of doll does Katrina choose:
Barbie, Bratz, Baby, or Monster High?
- I would say Bratz.
That seems more her style.
- I was kind of thinking of getting a doll now.
Hmm.
I think I like this Monster High doll...
because it has double hair... - (Will) Oh, you've gotta
be kidding me. - ...and it looks so cute.
And it'd probably be the perfect size
for one of the dresses I make. - i have no idea what that is.
- (FBE) After stomping his foot
and realizing he had some money left,
what did Lucas do: not get anything else
and take the change... - No.
- (FBE) ...successfully haggle the price of a PopSocket
down to $3 from $10, (chuckles) bought more slime,
or bought a nameplate that says "Lucas."
- (sighs) You know what?
I'm gonna go with successfully haggled
the price of a PopSocket down to the $3.
- If I get a PopSocket, will you lower it down
to $3? - (cashier) No.
- Aw. (buzzer)
- (Marco) There's no negotiation there, buddy.
It's not a swap meet. - $4.
I can get one of these and one of these.
- (Marco) Oh, more slime? - Yeah, that's what I'll do.
Hey, ♪ I got so much slime ♪ - (Marco) Oh my god.
(cash register beeping and whirring) - (cashier) Okay, $99.51.
- (Marco) Unbelievable. - Thank you.
Okay. I have 25 cents, so let's get a gumball.
- Yeah, that's what he would do. He wants to make sure
he utilizes the whole $100. I should've just picked slime
for the whole entire selection. (buzzer)
- (FBE) All right, let's go on to the last question.
- (cashier) You're looking at $96.31.
- (Will) Wow, what a-- - Yes, I got enough!
- (Will) What an accurate shopper.
- (FBE) What will Katrina do with the change:
take the cash...
- Already, take-- - (FBE) ...buy a metal nameplate...
- Take the cash. - (FBE) ...(chuckles) get a keychain,
or get some candy? - I would be shocked
if she doesn't take the cash. She loves cash.
- Okay, let's see if my name is over here.
I'm pretty sure not. Oh! (buzzer)
Who knew? - (Will sucks in a breath)
- (FBE) Will...
you lost. - Yes. Yes, I know. (chuckles)
- You know, you think you know your child.
You know, we're not with them all the time.
They spend most of the time in school with their friends
doing all kinds of different things, so I'm glad at least
I know something about him.
- Her world revolves around the iPad and wifi.
We don't expose her to toy stores, frankly.
- I mean, it's always exciting to see your child grow up,
have them make their own decisions.
- (FBE) What would you say to any parents who might
find themselves on "What Would My Kid Do?"
- Well, don't think you're gonna get it right...
- (Marco chuckles) - ...because when they have
the world at their disposal and somebody else's money,
all bets are off. - Oh my gosh!
Look at how many toys I have now.

- Slime. - I had to put stuff back,
but then I was STILL over budget, so I had to put something back.
- Slime.
- But then I was STILL over budget, so I had to put something back.
- More slime. - But then I was too low a budget,
so I had to get something back. It was crazy, but honestly,
I'm excited to play with all of this stuff.
