In this episode, Karr is starting to feel grown up—he’s wearing deodorant, outgrowing his favorite pants, and thinking he’s ready for new privileges. But when his dad says no to a video game meant for older kids, Karr struggles to understand why growing up comes with limits even though he feels that he is ready for more. Through humor, love, and a little tough parenting, Karr learns an important lesson: getting older isn’t just about what you can do—it’s about learning when the time is right.

This episode is perfect for kids navigating big changes and parents looking for ways to talk about growth and responsibility.

Stoopkid Crew! Happy Almost Summer!

Another bonus episode is here! This time I collabed with Dorktales Storytime Podcast! I had such a fun time playing "Rapunzel" on this episode called: Rapunzel, Rapunzel Let Down Your Science Experiment?

Question everything!” That’s Rapunzel’s motto. The princess from Mythdom breaks all fairy tale stereotypes when she tells the story that her time in the tower was for scientific innovation and experimentation. Her patented, three-step, hair strengthening system could win her a STEM scholarship! Can she shimmy down the tower’s trellis and make her way through the peat bog path to get to the science fair in time? 

If you enjoyed this episode please give Dorktales Storytime some love on their feed and join their podsquad.
