Mama Bear’s Sleepy Storytime

Hello everyone, this episode is based on some of the questions I get from my own cub. With his help I made them into fun stories that provide answers in the most non serious way. Through imagination. The first question is why do things glow in the dark? Well Pickles the glow in the dark dinosaur will help answer that! The next question is "Why does it have to be rainy or cloudy, when I want it to be sunny?". With the help of the weather team we help answer it! The last question is "Why do we need to wear shoes?". To help answer that question it's good to look into the history of shoes and the different places we need to wear them. These are all real questions from my own little cub so I hope you enjoy the episode! More questions are happening everyday so stay tuned for more episodes like this one. Good night!
