Hey everyone, welcome back to LOLL Story Time, the Goofy Story Podcast for Kids. Today's story is called

Wish Upon a Genie and features characters named after Orion, Matthew, and Billy. Make sure to

stick around for the question of the week coming up right after the end of today's story.

Also, if it sounds like I'm a bit stuffed up today,

well, that's because I am. Hooray for back-to-school germs. Special shout out this week to

Josie, Julius, Aubrey and Vincent, Tristan and Taylor, T.J. and Nolan, the Rough Corn

Boys, Obie, Gryson, Dexter, and Jonas.

Shout out to Duke from South Africa. Bumi and Eureka from Hawaii, as well as Luca from

Bangor, Ireland, who listens with his cousin Nina.

Hannah from Durham, North Carolina wants to wish her friends, Annika, Josh, and Carly a happy

birthday, all of whom are celebrating this month.

Happy belated birthday to Navarra. Happy sixth birthday to Oliver, and hello to Oliver's brother, Cormac.

Now, I get a lot of birthday requests from parents, but this time, Abby and Layla asked to wish

their mom a happy birthday. So Abby and Layla's mom, if you're listening in the

background, as I know a lot of parents do, happy birthday. All right, more shoutouts to come next
