Hello and welcome back to LOL Storytime, the Goofy Story Podcast for Kids.

Today's story is called Go Big or Go Home and is all about fort building.

I felt I had to write this one because pillow forts have been all the rage in my house lately,

so much so that I can't even find a couch cushion to sit on.

Anyway, today's story features characters named after Ethan and Brooklyn from Sydney, Australia.

We also have some bonus shoutouts to make two, Mika Siegel, Vidya, Killian, Ariel, Yarden and Liam,

Darius and Pax, Deakin, Bear and Crosby, Amelia and Ila, August and Berlin,

McKenna, Grace Perrow, Zoe and Zeta Miller, Cameron, Parker and Brooklyn,

Emerson and Emerson's cats Pika and Eve. And happy upcoming birthday to Sam Hayes from Stockport, England, who is turning seven.

More to come next time, but for now, let's get into the story.

This is the story of two kids who lived by the motto,

Go big or go home.

They believed anything worth doing was worth doing to the absolute max.

Otherwise, why even bother trying?

If we're going to do this, they would say,

then we're going to do it right, by doing it big,

real big, bigger than big, huger than huge, ginormous year than ginormous.

Here are just some of the ways Ethan and Brooklyn did it big.

Swim lessons. These kids refuse to take lessons in a regular swimming pool. Too easy. Instead,

they insisted on swimming where the world's most dangerous sea creatures lived.

So what if there was a prana trying to bite their butts? They were doing it big!

Then there was the school's science fair.
