[VIDEO DESC & TRANSCRIPT: Baba and Mama look towards camera and look excited, in front of metal doors slightly open.

BABA: Oooh! There’s a time capsule!

MAMA: Let’s go in!

BABA: How many years in the future should we go?

Mama thinks on it.

MAMA: Oh! How about five years?

BABA: Yesssss.

Mama grabs onto Baba and both enter through the metal doors.

[Five years later]

Baba and Mama are on the couch, Mama is flipping through a book while Baba is frustrated.

MAMA: Look, oh, so cute. Can’t believe so tiny five years ago! (notices Baba looking stressed). What’s wrong?

BABA: Peri is graduating kindergarten soon but the school won’t provide an interpreter for the ceremony.

MAMA: (sigh), don’t worry, I’ll email the school and send them the NAD’s advocacy letter for public and charter schools.

BABA: It’s simple, really. Why can’t they just follow our request?

MAMA: (sigh) hearing people.

[later]

Both are dressed up and sitting outside. Baba has a camera and waves hi while Mama is holding a roll of toilet paper.

BABA: Peri! Smile! (takes a photo)

MAMA: ILY! (begins to cry happy tears)

BABA: The advocacy letter really worked! We have interpreters here!

MAMA: I know right? (looks at Peri again) I can’t believe our kid is graduating!

BABA: Our baby is growing up!

Both cry, Mama unrolls the toilet paper to use as a tissue.

BABA: (realizes Mama is using toilet paper) Toilet paper?

Both hug and cry together.]
