I read it to my kids when my middle daughter was three She begged for a yes day based on this book We used it kind of as an instruction manual I started giving them to my kids then and we've done them now that daughter is 12 We've done them for nine years and at some point I posted and after yes day picture which you can imagine you look like you've been out all night partying when really you just like kind of dive into kids stuff for 24 hours and Yes, that post led to this movie. Oh, really? So this is you at the end of it a yes day. Here you are Yes, so but there are so basically there are some rules, of course It's not just yes to anything.

This is Ruining the car territory, but it was really fun to shoot and Nick Jonas, you know I think a lot of kids when they think about a yes day They would imagine that a young pop star every day is yes day. Is that what it was like? No Discipline it was discipline. It was you know, very busy. Actually. I didn't have a childhood. It's the reality headlines Nick Jonas childhood wrong Take you through the car wash. Oh, that's so kind Missed out on so much Now you are a yes woman because you faced some proper fears in the making of this film They made you go on a roller coaster Well, here's the ridiculous thing they is me I developed and produced this film so you would think that I wouldn't have put Terrifying things out there like singing on stage, which is something I hate or riding on roller coasters something that I love Look at this.
