VooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE and you have to pay the price. This is my community service. It's the brainchild of the Whoville Department of Corrections

and rehabilitation, and based on how much I want to be here,

they came up with a pretty good punishment.

They think it will help improve my interpersonal skills

to smooth it up with the celebs, but guess what?

I'm not interested in celebs, and I refuse to talk to them.

Really?

You, not interested in celebrities. Ugh, I forgot you had a microphone. Everybody, this is my court-ordered kid producer, 12-year-old Cindy Lu-hoo. You might remember as the little towel tail that sold me out to the whole town of Houveville about my little Christmas practical joke. Sorry to interrupt, but you did try to steal Christmas. Cindy Lu-hoo-hoo ladies and gentlemen, apparently they don't have child labor laws in Houvelle. Oh, okay fine, I'll talk to celebs, but good luck buttering me up, beautiful people. I'm the Grinch, the grand Poo-ba of Bahamba. A man who looks at the oncoming Christmas season like someone tied to train tracks would look at an oncoming train with razor blades for wheels. But look, I'm not a bad guy. For instance, kids, I'm gonna take your side on something. Hold on to your seats, keep on your pants. The Grinch is going on one of his rents. I sure am. Parents are putting you to bed too early. And downtown Houvelle, I overheard a family who apparently is a bedtime for their 11 year old son of 9 p.m. 9 p.m. That's like late afternoon 9 p.m. Let me tell you something your parents Not prison guards. It's not fair. Don't get me wrong kids for the most part.

I think of you as feral, fiendish foes. Rembunctious revolting, rug rat, reprobates. But on this bedtime issue, I'm with you. What is with your parents? PJs on in 10 minutes, being bed by nine. Press your teeth by eight. No sweets after seven. What is this, the military? How are kids gonna learn to take care of themselves when they're older?

If all you do is boss them around like some crazy gym teacher. How are they supposed to sleep with the PTSD of having you as a parent? I say, let kids go to bed when they want, let them develop their own sleeping habits, banishing them to their beds when they aren't tired, just guarantees

the lion bed scaring at the ceiling.

Have you seen a ceiling recently?

Pretty boring.

I can't stand.

Lion bed awake at night when I can't sleep, especially since I've seen every episode

of Elf fights on Hoot Hoot.

Kids, stamp as late as you want.

Except for you, Cindy Luhu on Christmas Eve, you don't need to know what's going on in your house

at that time. Uh-huh, good one, Mr. Grinch. But actually, what you're telling our listeners is an exactly the best advice. OK, here we go. According to the American Academy of Sleep Science, kids in the age group you're referring to need between nine to 12 hours of sleep each night. Good thing the fun police are here.

Point taken, Cindy Lou, boo.
