Hello friends, are you getting ready for bed?
Let’s make sure we’ve brushed our teeth and washed our hands. Oh and don’t forget your comfy things. Now it’s time for the perfect bedtime story.

About Mr. Jim:

Hi! I'm Jim Jacob, a South Carolina based creator. I started as a podcaster by accident. Our first real episodes on the internet were me trying to find a solution to help tell my sons stories as I was traveling for work. I recorded some stories and hoped that by uploading them to a podcast app, my wife and kids could have easy access to listen. What started as a fix for our family’s bedtime routine interruption has grown into a worldwide audience with hundreds of thousands of listeners. My wife Jocelyn and I have 3 kids and love inspiring others towards greater imagination and curiosity.

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hello friends, and welcome to bedtime Stories with mister jim Ho.
I was just getting ready for bed, are you as well?
Oh good? I hope you brushed your teeth and found
all of your comfy things like pillows and blankets and stuffies.

(00:27):
Oh yes, oh good. Well, as long as you have
all those things ready, then it's time for our story.
But first we must close our eyes so that we
can travel to an imaginary world. The moon was high

(00:58):
in the sky when Brooke the Baker's alarm went off.
He quietly got dressed in his chef coat and hat
and headed towards his bakery. The world was dark, as
everyone in his neighborhood was still sleeping and dreaming, but

(01:23):
not Brooks. Brooks had an important job to do. He
unlocked his bakery and stepped inside. The display case was empty,
waiting to be filled with all of brooks creations. He
patted the case as he stepped into his kitchen. Hello,

(01:46):
old friend. He created his rolling pin. Together they would
make delicious breakfast treats for the shop. Brooks sprinkled flour
across his table and began to make dough. He got
to work on biscuits and cinnamon buns, toaster pastries, and croissants.

(02:10):
As brooks worked, the moon moved through the sky. The
stars watched the sugary frosted doughnuts and licked their lips,
wishing they could try some. The smell of warm butter
and sugar escaped from the chimney and made the towns

(02:31):
smell sweet. Ralphie the raccoon was just waking up for
the night when he smelled something delicious outside his den.
He followed the scent with his nose as his tummy
r rumbled along. He made it through town, skipping from

(02:56):
one roof top to the next, until he was in
front of a chimney. He stuck his nose inside and
took a big sniff. His mouth watered and he wanted
to get closer to the smell, but it was dark

(03:18):
and he couldn't see anything, so he leaned over just
a bit more and oof. Ralphie tumbled down the chimney
and plopped down on the hard brick bottom. He could
hear humming and saw puffs of white powder flying around.

(03:41):
Dusting himself off, he followed his nose to a table,
where he jumped up found a feast of pastries and
other breakfast treats. Ralphie went to grab a chocolate croissant
when he heard a voice from across the table. Hey,

(04:03):
Ralphie jumped startled. He looked to see a man with
a funny white hat frowning in his direction. He thought
the man was getting ready to show him away, angry
that he was on his table, but instead, Brooks the
baker asked, did you wash your hands? Brooks led Ralphie

(04:28):
the Raccoon over to the sink and showed him how
to turn the water on and use the soap dispenser.
Brooks explained, you should always wash your hands before baking
in the kitchen. Baking, thought Ralphie the Raccoon, who said
anything about baking, but he followed Brooks back to the

(04:53):
table anyway. Ralphie tried to reach the chocolate croissant again,
and this time Brooks didn't stop him. The raccoon munched
away happily. While Brooks got back to work. Ralphie watched
as the baker set out a second bowl and hand mixer.

(05:16):
Then he waited as Ralphie finished, Okay, come on over here,
it's time to mix up some batter. Ralphie the raccoon
had no idea what he was talking about, but the
baker had been kind enough to let him stay and eat,

(05:36):
so he did as he was told. The raccoon stood
in front of the second bowl and watched as the
baker cracked eggs into his own. That looks easy, thought Ralphie,
and he used his little paws to crack eggs into
his own bowl. Then he put in the flour and

(05:58):
sugar like the baker did. Once all their ingredients were in,
the baker said, Okay, now it's time to mix. The
baker picked up his hand mixer and turned it on.
A loud, whirring sound filled the room. Ralphie covered his

(06:20):
ears and watched until the baker nodded at him, encouraging him. Okay,
little guy, your turn, Ralphie. The raccoon looked at the
second hand mixer with its shiny metal whisks and intimidating buttons.

(06:40):
Then he dove both hands into the bowl and began
waving them through the ingredients. The baker laughed and shook
his head. Okay, that batch will just be for you.
Then then he let Ralphie finish mixing with his arms.
By the time a smooth batter had formed. The raccoon's

(07:03):
arms were sticky and wet with gouey batter. He began
to lick it, and the baker sent him back to
the sink before they continued. Then, together the baker and
the raccoon poured each of their batters into their own
cake pans. They carried them carefully to the oven, and

(07:26):
the baker placed them inside. Ralphie watched as the oven
glowed and the cakes began to rise, transforming from liquid
to solid before his eyes. As he watched, the baker
whipped together the crumbly cinnamon sugar topping for the coffee cakes.

(07:50):
Ding The sound rang throughout the kitchen, causing Ralphie to jump.
The baker smiled and pulled the golden cakes out. The
smell made Ralphie's tummy rumble again. He jumped back onto
the table and helped the baker put the topping on
the cakes. Then he gave Ralphie his own cake as promised.

(08:15):
The raccoon sat down, happily scarfing down the cake with
its little paws. By the time he was full and
the cake pan was empty again, the sky was turning
a light gray. Soon the sun would be up and
the baker's first customers would arrive. The display case was

(08:36):
full of doughnuts, cakes, and pastries, ready and waiting for
hungry customers to arrive. Ralphie waved goodbye, and the baker
waved back. Come back tomorrow and I'll teach you how
to bake a strudele. Back at Ralphie's den, the sun
had risen and brightened the sky. Ralphie dreamed of baked

(08:59):
good and bakers. Even in his dreams, he was excited
to return back to the bakery tomorrow night to bake
some more. Well, friends, as we close our eyes and
drift off to sleep, may you all have very sweet dreams.

(09:23):
Good night,
