1
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: Hello, friends, and welcome to sleep Tight Stories. This is

2
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: a story about a girl named Casey and her brother car.

3
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: They are very busy kids and this Saturday, they are

4
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: going to visit their grandmother after their practices are over.

5
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: When they finish their lunch, their mother tells them that

6
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: their grandmother sent over some clothes for them and she

7
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: has laid them out on their beds. Casey and Carl's

8
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: mother thinks it would be nice if they wore the

9
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: clothes their grandmother sent them over to her house. When

10
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: they go to visit, the kids have another idea. Casey

11
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: does not like pink. Casey and her brother Carl were

12
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: sitting at the table trying very very hard to eat breakfast.

13
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: Today was Saturday and it was their father's turn to

14
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: make breakfast. He just had to make scrambled eggs with cheese.

15
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: Casey could not stand scrambled eggs. She would use the

16
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: word hate if no one was listening. Her mother didn't

17
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: like to hear that word, and she was told to

18
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: remove it from her vocabulary, which she would if her

19
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: father would stop making scrambled eggs. She moved the eggs

20
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: around on her plate, hoping that by moving them from

21
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: one side to the other, they might magically disappear. It

22
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: hadn't worked yet. Maybe we should get a dog, she thought,

23
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: then I could secretly drop the egg under the table.

24
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: Dogs will eat anything. Hey, Carl, you look like you

25
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: could use more eggs. Want mine, she asked. Carl replied

26
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: with a mouthful of eggs. No, thank you, I'm good. Carl.

27
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: Don't talk with food in your mouth. It's disgusting. Casey,

28
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: hurry up and finish your breakfast. We have to get

29
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: going or you both will be late, their blurry eyed

30
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: father said as he walked by the table to grab

31
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: another cup of coffee. We leave in fifteen minutes. Just

32
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 1: do what I do, Carl said, as he demonstrated plugging

33
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: his nose with his fingers, stuffing his mouth full of eggs,

34
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: and washing it all down with his cup of milk.

35
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: Works for me, he said, yeah, But ever since you

36
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: got serious about swimming, you eat anything and everything. What eggs,

37
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: Carl replied. Saturday mornings were for practice. Carl had to

38
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: go to swimming practice, and Casey had a CrossFit class.

39
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: She used to be part of the local gymnastics team,

40
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: but she stopped going this year because she got injured.

41
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: After practice, it was time for lunch. Casey's mom was

42
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: preparing something so that thankfully meant no eggs. Casey thought

43
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: that her mom secretly didn't like scrambled eggs either, but

44
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: just humored her father. She couldn't possibly like eggs. How

45
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: was practice you two, her father asked as he came

46
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: in the kitchen door after working outside all morning. Saturday

47
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: mornings for him were about doing things outside or attending

48
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: our competitions, where he could be heard sharing his egg recipes.

49
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: He just doesn't give up, Casey thought, whenever she saw

50
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: him talking to the other parents, I think the coach

51
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: was in a bad mood today, Carl said, why do

52
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: you say that? Their mother asked, he worked us too hard,

53
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: and now my shoulders feel like they are on fire.

54
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: It's fun to work hard, their father said, if you

55
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: say so. I all replied, unconvinced. We had a good

56
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: workout today, but it's made me super hungry, and I

57
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: think I could eat a whole pizza all by myself,

58
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: Casey said, with a side order of French fries and

59
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: maybe some chicken nuggets. Carl laughed, I'm glad you both

60
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: are so hungry, because I heat it up, some leftover

61
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: chicken soup for you to eat. There are some fresh rolls,

62
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: and I have some fruit for you for dessert. Their

63
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: mother said, chicken soup. Oh no, Karl cried, I think

64
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: my shoulders are too sore to lift up a spoon.

65
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: Do we have to have chicken soup again? Casey asked.

66
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: We have had it at least ten times so far

67
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: this month, about once a month. Her mother said, eat

68
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: it up. It's good for you and will help both

69
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: of you grow up big and strong. You won't get

70
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: big mussels, Casey by eating fries and nuggets alone. Your

71
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: grandma Nitty called while you two were out at practice.

72
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: She wants you to come over to her place for

73
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: a visit after lunch and stay for dinner. Then your

74
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: mother and I and go out to dinner tonight. Their

75
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: father said, ooh, sounds like a date. So romantic. Carl

76
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,679
Speaker 1: jokingly replied, Also, I forgot to give you some clothes

77
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: she sent over a couple weeks ago. I put them

78
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: in your rooms, and it would be nice if you

79
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: wore them when you go to visit her today. Okay,

80
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: I'll go and get dressed, Casey said. Casey walked into

81
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: her bedroom and saw laid out across her bed a

82
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: pair of pink colored socks, pink pants, and a white

83
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: shirt with pink flowers on them. No way, she said

84
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: out loud, I will not wear pink. I dislike pink. Mom,

85
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: she called, can you come to my room please? What's wrong, Casey?

86
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: She said as she came into her bedroom. What's wrong?

87
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: Look at these clothes. They are all pink. You know

88
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: I don't wear pink, Casey said, Casey, It's just for

89
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: one day. Just wear them for one day. It makes

90
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: her happy if you two wear the clothes she buys

91
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: for you. I don't care what colors you wear. How

92
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: you express yourself is up to you. I'm even wearing

93
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: one of your hoodies because it's comfortable. I think that

94
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: purple hoodie is one of carals. The pants are obviously

95
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: too small anyways, and my legs have grown mussels. Well,

96
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: just wear the shirt and socks, then, Mom, Why can't

97
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: you cooperate? Her mother said as she walked out of

98
00:07:53,640 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: the room. Frustrated, girls don't wear pink, Casey muttered to herself.

99
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: She loved her grandma, but she seemed so old fashioned. Sometimes.

100
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: Then she had an idea. Hey, Carl, why don't you

101
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: come to my room for a minute. What's up Case?

102
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: What clothes did grandma give you to wear? Baggy blue

103
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: sports clothes that don't fit right? Would you like to

104
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: switch with me? Ha ha ha, he laughed, Sure, I'll wear

105
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: your pink socks and that T shirt? What evs? Casey

106
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: and Carl arrived at their grandma Nitty's place a short

107
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: time later. They walked together up the front steps as

108
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: their Grandma Nitty opened the door and waved to their

109
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: parents as they drove away in their car. Come on in, kids,

110
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 1: it's been ages since I've had you all to myself.

111
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: You too, are way too busy with school and activities,

112
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: so let me have a look at you both. Well,

113
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: what do we have here, their Grandma Nitty said, looking

114
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: at them wearing the clothes she bought them. Carl was

115
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: wearing pink socks and a pink flowered T shirt, while

116
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: Casey was wearing baggy dark blues. Did your clothes get

117
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: mixed up in the wash, she said, laughing, Well, Grandma,

118
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: I thought it would be funny, I know her. Grandma

119
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:42,719
Speaker 1: Nitty interrupted, You think your old grandma is old fashioned

120
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: and has an outdated taste in clothes. Well, you are

121
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: half right. I do like pink, and Carl, I think

122
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: it looks great on you. I love buying clothes for

123
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: you too, and it's hard to keep up with the

124
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: latest fashion these days, as you can see by what

125
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: I'm wearing. I gave up a long time ago, she said,

126
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: with a laugh. And the stores I shop at don't help.

127
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: The selection is so terrible. Sorry, Grandma. I mostly wear dark,

128
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: baggy clothes these days. It's comfortable, and I can wear

129
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: my workout clothes underneath if I am in a rush.

130
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: I haven't worn pink since I was in elementary school,

131
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: and even then I think I preferred other colors. You

132
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 1: can buy me pink clothes, Grandma, Carl said, I don't mind.

133
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: I bet you two didn't know that blue was originally

134
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 1: the color for girls. How that was a long time ago.

135
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: It's kind of silly. I think. How about we go

136
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: to that new clothing store and we can get some

137
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: clothes that you both like to wear, and maybe you

138
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: can help me pick out something to liven up my wardrobe.

139
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: Then we can grab a pizza to take home and

140
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: eat in front of the TV. How does that sound

141
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: sounds good to me, Carl said. I can't wait to

142
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: see you wearing clothes that I wear, Casey said with

143
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: a smile. Casey, Carl, and Grandma Nity drove to the

144
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: nearby shopping center that had a clothing store that Casey

145
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: liked to shop in. Carl didn't really care where they went,

146
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: as he didn't really care what he wore. As they

147
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: walked in the front door of the clothing store there,

148
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: Grandma said with a laugh. Wow, it certainly is loud

149
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: in here. Can you hear me talking? Is this the

150
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: kind of music you listen to? Carl? No, not really,

151
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: I like jazz. Well, it certainly has fast beat. That's

152
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 1: so you will buy clothes faster, Casey said with a laugh. Casey, Carl,

153
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: and their Grandma Nitty spent the next hour trying on

154
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: various outfits. Carl just picked a pair of plain sweats

155
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: and a hoodie, and Casey was much the same. Most

156
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: of their time was spent having fun watching their grandma

157
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: wear the same kinds of clothes that Casey liked to wear.

158
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: It certainly was a big change from the flowery dresses

159
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: she usually wore. Grandma Nitty finally settled on a pair

160
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: of loose fitting pants and a dark hoodie with a

161
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: flower print on it. You look like a teenager, Carl said, laughing.

162
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: You really want pizza, don't you. Grandma said with a smile.

163
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: These clothes certainly are more comfy and cozy than the

164
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: clothes I wore when I was your age. I may

165
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: just come back here tomorrow and buy more. They picked

166
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: up a large pizza, some chicken nuggets, and fries, and

167
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: brought it back to eat while they watched a funny

168
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: movie on TV. Thank you for the pizza nuggets, Grandma

169
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: Casey said, and for the clothes, Carl said, you are welcome.

170
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: I've never had chicken nuggets and pizza before. I wouldn't

171
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: have thought of ordering them both, but I think it's

172
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: a tasty treat, she replied. As they finished their dinner,

173
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: the door bell rang and Casey and Carl's parents walked

174
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: into the room. Who are these three young teenagers sitting here?

175
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: I thought we dropped you off at your grandma's house.

176
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: Their father said, what do you think of my new outfit?

177
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: Grandma Nitty asked, kids helped me pick it out. I

178
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: think it looks great on you. I do too, and

179
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: that's the end of our story. Good Night, Leap Tight
