Oh, hi. Welcome to Smallities. What are Smallities? Okay, so these are shorter kid-friendly versions of classic episodes

so we took them and we took all the swears out. Nothing too racy. You can listen around kids. You can listen around your grandparents, perhaps work colleagues, whatever.

If you want the full length version of this episode though, of course it's going to be linked in the show notes.

We also have more Smallities up at alleyword.com. Slash Smallities. Okay, enjoy.

Oh, hey, it's your old internet dad. Here with an episode you've all just been chomping at the bit for.

Will she go there? You wondered. She went there. Boy, howdy-ditchy. But don't worry. Okay, this one, it doesn't get too gross.
