Welcome to Makeup, the kid's bedtime rompice.

Tonight's Makeup Story is a request from a nine-year-old listener named Lila,

and Lila asked for us to make up a story that includes a doggy that goes on a trip to outer space with its owner, and we are also going

to add a cow in the Hubble Space Telescope. Once upon a time, a long time ago, there was a big girl whose name was Lila.

Lila had some friends, and sometimes she wondered what her

friends talked about. When Lila's friends were home by themselves, sometimes they talked about

games that they would play and trips that they would go on, but Lila's friends didn't always remember to include Lila on their great adventures.

So Lila decided that when she becomes a teenager,

she's always going to let all of her friends come on her adventures with her.

Lila went to sleep one night,

and when she woke up the next day she became a teenager. As a teenager, Lila was ready to include all of her friends on her adventures.

So Lila had a friend whose name was Evelyn and she also had a friend whose name

was Nancy. And Lila told Evelyn and Nancy that if they wanted, they could go with her on a trip

to outer space. Evelyn and Nancy thought that really Lila couldn't get to outer space.

And so they said, well, how are you even going to get there?

And Lila said, I'm just going to show you.

And Nancy and Evelyn said, okay.

And Lila's dad drove Nancy and Evelyn and Lila all the way to the Space Center.

At the space center there was a big rocket chip outside.

The space center said that they were doing some research into outer space

and they needed to see if kids were willing to volunteer to be astronauts.

And Lila said that she wanted to, but Nancy and Evelyn weren't so sure because they were a little bit scared about going to outer space.
