Welcome to Make-Up, the kids' bedtime stories podcast.

Get ready to listen to fun and non-scary stories that I make up on the fly without preparing.

I tell these stories to my five-year-old son as part of his bedtime routine.

Thanks for listening.

This make-up story was a request from a boy who asked for a story that has snow and buffalo and a king buffalo named Tai-tie.

And we're also going to add to the story some cows, and we'll also add to the story some cows and will also add to the story a tiger and the cats live in a house

okay that's already a lot of things i think that might be enough but you could add one thing okay

but it's your choice you could add one one thing. Okay. Once upon a time, a long time ago, there was a big boy whose name was Roger.

Roger was the silliest big boy of all because he would press a button on his dad's belly button, and that would be silly time.

And after he pressed the button, his dad would have to downs up and down.

And then he had a special rule for his mama's silly button.

He told his mama that whenever he blew on his mama's cheeks or kissed his mama, she had to do something silly.

And he practiced it by saying, beep, pressing the button, and he kissed her on the cheek,

and then the mama had to wave her hands up and down, up and down.

Well, Roger had a special rule, which was that if he did a good job cleaning up after himself after dinner,

then he would get to go on his dad's shoulders and Roger's dad would have to take him on a walk.

Well, one day, dinner was over, and Roger had some yummy fish sticks,

and he even dipped the fish sticks in ketchup and said it was so yummy.

And after dinner, he told his dad and mom to go on a walk through a secret forest that he had discovered.

And he gave his parents directions,

and his parents had to hold him on their shoulders. Well, when they got to the forest, it was pretty cold.

And so, Roger told his parents that they had to find the secret chamber, which had jackets in it. And his parents said, which way is that?
