Welcome to Make Up Stories.

My name is Alexis Smith.

Makeup Stories is the best podcast ever.

Tonight's make-up story is actually not a make-up story.

It's a story from when I was a kid.

Because my kids asked me today to tell them a story from when I was their age. A long time ago, when I was seven years old,

and it was the summertime, I went to a camp with a bunch of other kids. And we used to play a lot of

games in the camp, like dodge ball where you throw a ball and there was also

color war and sometimes we made arts and crafts using glue and popsicle sticks and pipe cleaners

and it was a lot of fun we even got to go swimming so many times.

One day, my camp went to a farm to go visit because it was almost the end of the summer.

And at the farm, there were some horses that were behind a tall wooden fence, and there was also some big giant cows,

and there were kitty cats that lived there,

and the ground was kind of wet and muddy,

and there was some grass, but in some places there wasn't any grass,

and there was a big barn, and inside the barn, there were so many chickens.

And my mom was there with us at the farm. And the chickens had some little baby chickens. And chickens are yellow and they were so cute.

And I looked at the little baby chickens and I asked my mom, I said, her name was Ima.

I said, Emma, can we bring the little baby yellow chickens home?

And my mom was like, no, that is not a good idea.

Because chickens are a lot of work to take care of sometimes if you don't have like a chicken coop, a cage to put them in, and you don't know how to feed them.
