However, his plans are interrupted when he discovers that his aunt is not the fun-loving person he thought she was.
At first, Eliot is excited to spend time with Aunt Margot, but things quickly take a turn when he realizes that she is a strict and boring person who only wants to follow rules. Aunt Margot insists on taking Eliot to a museum where he's not allowed to touch anything, and that's just the start of their boring adventure.

When Aunt Margot finds him, she scolds him for not following her rules, but Eliot stands up to her and tells her that he wants to have fun.
Aunt Margot finally realizes that she's been too strict and agrees to let Eliot have some fun. They go to a park where Eliot practices his juggling and Aunt Margot even tries it herself. Eliot is thrilled to see his once-boring aunt having a good time, and they end up having a great day together.
