Summary

Ring around the rosie, kids are super creepy! After the wholesomeness of last week’s Baby-Sitters Club topic, Bethany is swinging back in the other direction with a bunch of creepy kids. Whether they’re in movies, books, TV, or pop culture, creepy children are everywhere, and Bethany tells you just why they creep us out so much. Then, Kathleen has been self-diagnosed with Dead Butt Syndrome. Do you have it, too? Is it time to panic? And do you really need to take 10,000 steps a day or is that a dirty lie spread by dirty liars?
