Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hey, friends, welcome back to kitschar Stories. If this is
your first time, welcome to the family. My name is
mister Jim and I love turning your ideas into amazing adventures.
You see, kids like you send me ideas and then
I turn them into an awesome adventure that we do
every single day. Parents, this has been a game changer

(00:24):
for our family and decreasing screen time and increasing imagination. Well, friends,
are you ready for today's amazing story? Me too, Let's go.
Today was a very exciting day for Cedar. See he

(00:46):
was going to a rocket museum, which he had dreamed
about for a very long time. Have you ever been
to a museum before? Oh, they're amazing places full of
amazing things, But this one had been on Cedar's list
for a very long time. This museum was home to

(01:09):
all kinds of information about rocket chips, space travel, and more.
They even had exhibits of old rockets that you could
climb on inside and pretend to be a real astronaut. Wow,
that would be such a cool place to go. Well,

(01:31):
Cedar was actually gonna go there today. This was a
dream of his that was finally coming true. Cedar sim
to put shoes on, Come on, shouted his mom. Okay,
I'm coming. What is all that stuff you have with you?
She asked, Oh, you know, when I go to space,

(01:51):
I gotta bring all my gear. Cedar was carrying with
him a very large backpack that was full of a
lot of things. I'd quite see what's all inside of
that backpack, but it looked like some snacks and maybe,
you know, some things that an astronaut might need. His
mom smiled and said, well, Cedar, I don't think you're

(02:13):
actually going to space today. I think this is just
learning about rocket ships. But as long as it fits
all in that one bag, I guess that's okay. Yes,
said Cedar. As they jumped into the car, he buckled
his seatbelt, and off they drove to the museum. It
felt like a very long drive because he was counting

(02:37):
down the seconds and minutes to when he would be
able to step inside of a real rocket ship. But finally,
up ahead, with his face plastered against the window of
the car, he could see. It is that the museum,
he shouted, Yes, it is we are here, said his mom.

(02:59):
As they pulled into the parking lot. Cedar was so
excited he almost jumped out of the car before it
even stopped. Let's go, let's go, let's go. I'm right
behind you, Cedar said his mom. As they've ran towards
the museum. He was amazed at how big the building was.

(03:19):
The entrance was really cool. His mom handed him the
ticket and they checked in at the front door, and
there it was. They were inside of the amazing Rocket Museum.
This is the coolest place I've ever seen, shouted Cedar.
His eyes didn't even know where to look. Have you

(03:41):
ever been in a place where there's so many amazing
things to look at that you don't even know where
to start. That's exactly what Cedar felt. But he was
gonna look and learn about everything he possibly could. That afternoon,
Cedar had a really fun day. He learned about rockets

(04:02):
and got to pretend to be an astronaut, put on
a helmet, and even taste some space food. It kind
of was a little dry, but it was such a
fun day learning all about rockets and space. Do you
want to go grab some pizza? Are you getting hungry?
Said Cedar's mom. Oh yeah, I forgot. I was so

(04:26):
excited I forgot that I'm actually starving, said Cedar. Okay,
I'm gonna go get some pizza. Why don't you just
stay in this area right here? Can I go in
that spaceship right over there, said Cedar, pointing to the
other side of the room. Uh, yes, that's okay. Just
don't go any further. Okay. Cedar grabbed a helmet and

(04:47):
jumped into that one rocket that he had not been
inside of. This one was pretty cool. It almost looked
like it was still real and like it would actually work.
Look at all these lights, said Cedar as he sat
down in the captain's seat. He put on his helmet,

(05:07):
strapped on the seatbelt, and was surrounded by a whole
bunch of flashing lights. He closed his eyes and imagined
blasting off to space. Boo oh, it would be so
cool to go to like Mars or something, said Cedar.
I wish I was a real astronaut. He scanned the

(05:30):
dashboard for different buttons to push, and there was one
button that was very different. Of all the spaceships that
he had been in, this one. He had never seen
this button before. Huh, I wonder what it does. As
he pushed the button, he heard a sound mission Control,

(05:55):
You are clear for takeoff. Shh. Whoa, that's sounded so real,
said Cedar, and boy o, boy was that real? Cedar
is in for a big surprise. All of a sudden,
his seat began to shake. Wow, this is a really

(06:18):
realistic simulation here, said Cedar. Five four three two one.
What's going on? All of a sudden, the spaceship that
Cedar was in blasted off for real out of the

(06:41):
ceiling of the museum. He couldn't believe it, but good
thing he was already seat bell buckled in because that
was a bumpy ride. His mom turned around and her
mouth dropped open. Cedar. She was so surprised she dropped

(07:04):
the pizza right on the floor. Cedar. She shouted, Holy smokes,
What in the world has Cedar just gotten into? How
did they allow a real rocket chip into that museum
where kids when climb inside of Oh dear, this is

(07:27):
a serious problem. I hope Cedar knows what he's getting into,
But we're gonna have to wait and see what happens
on the next episode of Kids Short Stories. Great job,
you listened all the way to the end, and you

(07:47):
