What am I doing wrong?

I've followed the example in the video practically to the letter, and I get a useless error message "Bummer! Try again!"

Can somebody tell me what I am doing wrong here?

accounts/models.py 
from django.contrib.auth.models import BaseUserManager

class UserManager(BaseUserManager):
    create_user(self, email, dob, accepted_tos, password):
        if not accepted_tos:
            raise ValueError("Nope")
        user = self.model(email=email, dob=dob, accepted_tos=accepted_tos)
        user.set_password(password)
        user.save()
        return user

You're missing a keyword at the start of your function definition.

Now it's saying "Didn't get a ValueError without explicit TOS acceptance". What am I missing there??

You need to set the accepted_tos field to "None" or "False" when you define the funciton: 

def create_user(self, email, dob, accepted_tos=None, password=None):
