Bedtime Stories for My Kids about Nothing

Robin

My girls ask me tell them stories about my life every night before bed. By bedtime I am running on empty and can't recall memories. So they asked me to record myself telling them stories about my life. So this is the podcast. These stories are uneventful and are meant to put my girls to bed. GO TO BED.
