Hello and welcome to LOL Story Time.

It's the Goofy Story Podcast for Kids.

Real quick, Max, if you were listening, I just want you to know your name request didn't get missed.

It happened back in episode 32, Mega Chef Jr.

That showdow was for you, so I hope you'll go check it out.

As for today's special shout-out, we have

Kaya and Hunter, who emailed the show a while back and asked if I could put their names in a story,

but also sneak their dog Newman in, too, making this the first character name request from a pet.

I'd like to thank this awesome family for listening and supporting the show. Now, one last thing. We are fast approaching the end of the year and what a year it has been

for this podcast. I have in front of me a list of this year's top stories, meaning the ones

that were listened to the most. I'm challenging each and every one of you wonderful listeners

to see if you can guess what LOL Storytimes top three stories were in 2023.

Spotify listeners, you can use the question of the week to share your guesses.

And as for everyone else, I've created a survey so you can participate to.

Just check the show notes for a link.

I'll reveal the top three stories in the next episode and we'll find out if anyone

managed to correctly guess all three. Today's story is called Can't Catch Me. Let's get into it.

This is the story of what happened when Kaya and her brother Hunter discovered their

great-great-grandfather's cookie recipe.

The kids had been playing in the attic among old boxes of random stuff and accidentally

knocked one open.

Inside was a handwritten recipe for gingerbread cookies.
