0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back to the Curious Kid Podcast. I was born more than 15,000 days ago. I've |
0:29.2 | experienced a lot in all that time, but there is very little I remember from my childhood. |
0:34.1 | I'll share one story with you from when I was around Olivia's age. I wanted to be in the |
