45
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: he isn't sure if he remembers how to hand his

46
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: wood tools, so he plays around with it and then

47
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,760

Speaker 2: I get it.

70
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: I have to narrow it down to the best ones,

71
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: and I would say the one that the kids love

72
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: the most is one that I did about a depressed

73
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: donkey who finally he finds his purpose when he comes

74
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: across an abandoned the litter of kittens.

75
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 3: You know what, sir, I don't even know if I

76
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 3: want to know? The title is this one?

77
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: It's called and Kitties.

78
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: Okay, you know, because the donkey and then the cats,

79
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: so that it was actually a pop up book, so

80
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: it's perfect for young kids in the class. Oh my god,

81
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: my little Connor. He begs me to read it to

82
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: him every single night. He's always like, oh, Dad, I

83
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: want more kitties.

84
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: Sounds like you can't get enough of it.

85
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: I'm sure I'm the content of your stories. Sounds perfect.

86
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 3: I'm just I am concerned about the titles and I'm.

87
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 2: Not understanding what what do you mean.

88
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 3: I'm sure your intentions are good, I think, of course,

89
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 3: I just don't think they're appropriate.

90
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: What's in approp No one has ever said that to

91
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 2: me before.

92
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 4: Are you sure?

93
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 3: Because I think that might be the reason that your

94
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 3: popular on TikTok and being asked to do podcasts like.

95
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 3: It's not the content for it's the title.

Speaker 1: Excuse me, excuse me, miss miss Julie. Are you saying

97
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,560

00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 2: To the kids?

99
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 3: No, maybe that would be for the best. Wow, I

100
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 3: just I'm sorry. I don't know what to say.

101
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,000
