Welcome back, Wonder World listeners! It’s Pam and Olivia back with another exciting episode. This week is filled with notable days and celebrations. Starting off with May 27th, it's Memorial Day – a time to honor and remember the brave soldiers who sacrificed for our country. Then, on May 28th, we've got International Burger Day. Who doesn't love sinking their teeth into a juicy burger, right? We share our favorite burger toppings and discuss how we like to indulge in this delicious holiday.

But that's not all! The rest of the week brings even more fun – Flip Flop Day, Hug Your Cat Day, and World Parrot Day. Hey, even if you don't have a parrot or a cat to hug, why not give your pugs some extra love? We also bring you a word of the week – "banish" – and challenge you to incorporate it into your conversations. Plus, we’ve got a brain-teasing trivia question about intelligent birds, and a fascinating segment on historical events and famous birthdays, as well as our amazing Wonder World Kids Club members birthday shout-outs!

Gather the whole family, grab a snack, and hit play. It's time to let Wonder World whisk you away into another fun-filled episode. See you there!
