When Ivy was nine, something really exciting happened to her. So she wrote about it in her diary.

But as she was writing, something even more exciting happened.

Dear diary, today my mom and my whole family went to dinner at a restaurant. On the way, there was a car on fire.

It was on fire. Then two fire trucks and one police car came.

Breaking news. I put a flashlight in my mouth. I turned it on and I could see light in my nostrils.

Breaking news indeed. That's Ivy, reading from the diary she kept when she was nine. I'm Dan Meisner, and this?

This is grown-ups read things they wrote as kids. How are you doing? It is very, very nice to see you.

This is a show where we go back in time to remember the good, the bad, and the awkward parts of growing up.

This time recorded live in Vancouver, we have a jealous love letter, a technology-focused view of heaven,

and three of the strangest movie ideas I have ever heard.

This stuff is weird, it is wonderful, and like light streaming out of your nostrils,

it can be a little surprising.

So think about who you were, when you were a kid, and stick around.

We've been organizing live growing up street things they've heard as kids events for more than 10 years.

And sometimes it feels like we have heard every single type of childhood and teenage writing that exists.

Diary entries, poems, book reports. But every once in a while, a reader comes along and brings a genre of

kid writing that we've never heard before. And that is exactly what our next reader did. When Shan was

16, she went to art camp, where she learned to shoot and cut film. And she also came up with

ideas for movies, which she wrote down in what she calls

her idea book. Live on stage in Vancouver, here's Shan, reading pitches for three films.

Film pitches.
