Who better than children themselves to tell us what they really need and really want in life?

Which is why I have decided to bring my daughters on for this show!

People tend to patronize children. Even after they ask them for their opinion.

I am certain that these two will touch your hearts, open your eyes a little wider and definitely make you laugh.
