Welcome to Makeup, the kids' bedtime wamp is!

Tonight's Makeup story is a request from two brothers named Anselm and Tristan.

Anselm is six years old and it's going to be his birthday on August 29 when he'll turn seven,

and Tristan is four years old.

Anselm and Tristan asked for us to make up a story that includes a colossal squid and a seal

named cereal. Once upon a time, a long time ago, there were two brothers named Anselm and Tristan.

Anselm and Tristan's parents told them that for Anselm's birthday, they were going to rent a boat and bring some milkshakes and some straws,

and they were going to go out to sea and have a fun adventure. So in the morning, Anselm got some

special waffles for breakfast because it was his birthday. Usually they didn't get to have

waffles for breakfast. And then Anselm's dad packed some floaty equipment in the car and a lot of straws and they drove to the dock.

The dock is a place at the end of the road where the road connects to the ocean and a lot of boats are

tied up to the dock.

Anselm chose which birthday boat he wanted.

The birthday boat he wanted had a flag on it that had a birthday cake, and Anselm wanted to go on the birthday cake boat, and so did Tristan.

So they got on the boat, and they brought the milkshake, and they brought their straws. After they got on the boat,

their dad untied the rope and he said, Dumballor the sails. And his mama said,

The sails are Dumblord. And Anselm asked, what does that mean? And Tristan said, I don't know.

And his parents got off on their adventure, and the boat started sailing in

middle of the sea.

When they got to the middle of the sea, there was a part where it looked like it would

be fun for them to swim, but you have to be so careful in the sea.
