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.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hello, friends, and welcome to bedtime stories with mister Jim.
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. Thanks for lunch, mom,

(00:56):
I'm all done. That was delicious, Violet said to her
mother as she just finished her lunch. To day's lunch
was not a normal lunch because something amazing happened while
she was eating an apple. Oh yes, she bit right

(01:17):
in and her tooth fell out. Has that ever happened
to you before? Well, this was Violet's first tooth she
had ever lost, and it broke right off and stuck
into the apple. She wanted to show all of her friends.

(01:39):
But something pretty cool about Violet and her friends, you know,
they may be a little different than some of the
friends that you or I might have, is that her
best friend is named Dave the Dolphin. Do you have
a best friend named Dave the Dolphin? Probably not, because

(02:04):
Violet lives on a houseboat. I know that does sound
very cool. She lives on a boat on the water,
so she gets to see the most amazing sea creatures, fish, animals,
and birds right from her bedroom window. When the waves

(02:30):
are nice and clear and calm, she can see fish swimming.
But she was really looking for her friend, Dave the Dolphin.
Dave the Dolphin didn't know yet that Violet had lost
her first tooth. She was so excited to show him.

(02:52):
She ran to the edge of the boat and called
for Dave the Dolphin by clicking her tongue. She waited
and waited, when all of a sudden, Dave the Dolphin
poked his head out from the water. Violet proudly held
her tooth out in two fingers, high above her head

(03:15):
so that Dave could see. Dave looked very scared. He
did not know why she might be happy to lose
a tooth. Dave thought that was a scary thing. Violet
explained to Dave the Dolphin that people teeth when they're born,

(03:36):
or born with baby teeth that fall out so that
their bigger, grown up teeth can grow through. It all
began to make sense for Dave. Violet brought the tooth
closer to the edge of the boat, when all of
a sudden, a big way from the ocean crashed right

(03:58):
onto Violet's hand. Just like that, the tooth started to
sink to the bottom of the ocean. Dave looked up
at her with very big eyes, nodded his head, and
took down, swimming as fast as he could. He had

(04:20):
to save her tooth. This was very important to Violet.
Dave swam all the way to the bottom of the
ocean began to look around, but there was no tooth anywhere.
Dave the Dolphin began asking all of his friends, and
finally everything pointed to Herman. Oh. Yes, Hermann the hermit crab. Yes,

(04:50):
he was very good at finding things, especially shiny things.
Crabs do like to take treasures, and maybe, just maybe
Herman mistakenly took that tooth and thinking it was something valuable.
Dave the Dolphin swam over to Hermann's house and explained everything.

(05:15):
A very grouchy Herman did understand and pulled the tooth
out from behind his shell. Dave the Dolphin was very
happy and placed the tooth on his flipper and quickly
swam to the top of the surface of the water
by Violet's boat. Violet was so happy to have found

(05:40):
her missing tooth. Dave the dolphin was also very happy
to have helped a friend. Later that night, Violet put
her tooth underneath her pillow. Oo it got ready for bed, Ah,

(06:00):
laid down with all of her comfy things, and fell
asleep Because that night, something magical was about to happen
to her tooth under her pillow. But that, my friends,
is a story for another day. The end
