Hi, I'm Kristin Bell.
I'm a proud mom of two girls.
And one day if my girls want to procreate,
I hope to be a grandparent.
I have a feeling there is nothing
more special than seeing the people you
made, make other people.
Plus, let's be real, I am aging gracefully.
Exactly like my mom, I look exactly like my mom.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Welcome, and congratulations, you
are all about to be grandparents for the first time!
Yes.
Yeah.
Yes.
That is so exciting!
You're going to get to change poopy, messy diapers again.
Do you guys remember that?
Yeah.
It's been a while.
Yeah.
Do you remember the smell of those diapers
after they started eating solid foods?
Oh yes.
Yes
That's a trip.
Look, there's no such thing as the perfect grandparent.
But today, we are going to figure out
how to get you as close as we possibly can.
We're going to start with a game called is this appropriate.
So I'm going to give you guys some questions,
and you're going to tell me whether or not
it's appropriate behavior for a grandparent.
Question number one, do we use whiskey
on the gums of a teething baby?
Yes.
That was real quick Michelle.
My great, great grandma taught us that.
There is definitely something to be said for tradition,
but I'm probably going to go ahead-- it's somewhere in here,
for me.
Maybe ask our son or daughter if it's kosher.
If they say no, hand the baby back, drink the whiskey.
Nobody's writing any of this down?
No, we didn't know we were supposed to.
Here's a scenario.
Baby.
OK.
I'm your daughter-in-law, the whole family
is over, we're sitting around in the living room,
I pull out my breast and start feeding, where do you look?
Not at her breast.
Yeah, not there.
Not there.
I just look away
I like these answers.
You guys are very, very much on track.
It is not my problem if you are uncomfortable.
What my problem is, is my baby's hungry.
And I'm not going to carry all of your baggage around
because you're uncomfortable with a boob.
Mike, probably would suggest if it's your daughter-in-law,
yeah, maybe you just take a pause to the left.
Very cool.
I would go ahead and say you three, totally fine with eye
contact.
Just keep it up here.
Yeah.
Like we tell the boys.
You know?
What comes right after I start breastfeeding is, would you
like a cup of water?
I got parched like you can't believe
the second I started feeding the baby-- like see
Michelle's writing that down.
That's a real good-- that's a hot tip.
Do you guys want to be cool grandparents?
Like, cool out on the street grandparents?
I do want to be fun Nana.
Let's make this a little education
just how to get into fun stuff with the kids.
You don't have to use any of it, but you should know it.
Because knowledge is power, and things are different now.
So we're going to play a round of, is this cool?
We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor.
Mom, are you tired of me having way too much screen time
but also love that my tablet gives you a break?
Then why not get me LOL surprise movie magic studios?
I can create my own movies, fun for me.
While it encourages storytelling, creativity,
and imagination, great for you.
I can even make movies about us.
Like, mom says no to something I want.
I'm sorry I just don't want you to be happy.
Or dad didn't put his clothes in the hamper again!
It's not that hard Brian!
LOL surprise movie magic studios,
is letting me tap into my imagination
so I don't miss out on the joys of being a child.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Outfit number one.
Nice.
Are these jeans cool?
Yeah.
Does anyone know what they're called?
Clothes?
Mom jeans.
And they come up nice and high, and everybody's indoors.
They're very cool.
That's good.
And they feel great, and I love them.
You guys passed.
OK, next.
How about this?
Oh, heck yeah.
I'm going to tell you what I think.
Not cool.
No, they're just too much I feel like.
Crocs, I love those charms.
I love them.
OK Leanna, you have a point.
Also she's younger and cooler.
So, yes, these are cool.
Times change quickly.
These are cool, these are very cool guys.
They're cool.
I'm all about the bling.
Wonder where she got that?
Yes, Leanna, yes!
Girl!
Yes!
Work it, work it!
And what position did you give birth in?
Do you remember?
Just with my-- laying down with my legs in the stirrups.
Do you remember?
I mean, isn't that the only position?
No, they offer you so many.
I didn't know that.
No way.
No.
Strap my legs up to the ceiling and they put in like a tampon
full of, get her out of there.
Absolutely.
Guys they give you choice of position now.
It's been 30 years, so.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Yes, a little pop of neon.
I have a graduation present for you guys.
OK.
Because you all did so well, you're
going to be the coolest grandparents around.
Go ahead and open it up.
You got some gummies in there, some Sour Patch gummies.
Delicious.
And a paci.
What happens is, whenever you feel
like you want to correct your child's parenting,
go ahead and pop this in your mouth.
Perfect.
You guys are ready.
