Hey everybody, Peter from StoryParts here. Coming up the next few months we have a ton of live shows in New York and Los Angeles,

including some huge shows to benefit some of the great schools who host our creative writing programs.

Stay tuned at the end of the show for details or if you just can't wait, go to StoryParts.org right now. And now on with the show!

Welcome back to the StoryParts podcast. I'm Lee.

I'm Peter. Welcome! StoryParts take stories written by kids and we turn them into awesome sketches and songs.

We perform some of those stories on the radio on SiriusXM. And then for this podcast we go back to the archives and play some of our favorites.

That is exactly true. That's what we're doing today Lee. That's what we're doing right now.

Great, what story are we playing for our audience today?

Today's episode comes to us from a then second grader from Winston-Salem, North Carolina named Drew Wright.

And this story is called Best Summer Identity Ever.

Awesome title. The story is amazing, Lou.

What's your name? Lee. Lee? You know this whole time I've never known your name. You mistook my identity this whole time.

Yeah, we've known each other for 15 years, 15 at least. I'm only 16 years old. It's true, you were such a cute baby.

Thank you. But anyway, what's fun about this story is Drew used a real life human being in his fictitious life.

And yet at the time we adapted it, we didn't know who this person was.

No, he is NFL's own Steve Smith, formerly of the Carolina Panthers. Now he plays for the Ravens. That's right.

And what's funny is Steve Smith, this is a great story. When he found out that he was going to have a son, he was going to have a baby.

He was so excited he went to the NFL and asked to have his jersey change to say Smith Sr.

So he's officially Steve Smith Sr. And his son is Steve Smith Jr.

Which is important detail for this story because identities will be mistook.

And the irony is, even though the theme was mistaken identities, we had no idea who Steve Smith was when we adapted this script, the story into a script and when we performed it.
