  • High praise from kids

    Conversation between 12 yr old and 9 yr old when about to start an episode on a more serious topic - 9 yr old “this will fun!”, 12 yr old “how can that be fun?”, 9 yr old “OK, maybe not fun, but at least they will make it interesting”. Your role is essential. Thank you.
