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.

Hey friends, it's mister jim Man. Welcome back to Kit Short Stories. If this is your first time, welcome to the family. We are the podcast that turns your ideas into an amazing adventure every single day. You know, we couldn't even exist without imaginations from kids just like you. So if you have an idea for a story, I'd love to see it. Check down in the show notes below for how you can submit your own story idea and maybe we'll turn it into an awesome adventure. And parents, if you're new to kids podcasting, I'm gonna challenge you to listen to podcasting for five days in a row with your kids. It's going to increase their imagination, decrease screen time, and we're gonna have a lot of fun along the way. Are you guys ready for today's adventure? Me too? Let's go. Cooper, Sebastian, and Julia. We're at school one day when they noticed something strange, very strange, was going on. Students were walking the hallways in a daze, as if they were all tired and very distracted. Um, is there like a big test today? Why is everyone so out of it? Cooper asked as a classmate bumped into him and then walked away without saying a word. I don't know, responded Sebastian. Everyone's acting really weird. Julia cupped her hand around her ear. Shh, I think they're saying something. They all listen closely and could hear the other students mumbling. What are they saying? Whispered Sebastian. Um something about pancakes, guessed Cooper. The three friends shrugged and headed into the lunch room together. While they were waiting in the lunch line, they saw students trying to get into the kitchen. Hey, get back in line. No students in the kitchen, one of the lunch monitors scolded. The other kids rejoined the line, looking still pretty distracted. Cooper squinted and noticed their eyes looked funny. Did you see their eyes? They looked like they had swirls in their pupils. That's crazy, said Julia. You must not have seen them properly. No one has swirly eyeballs unless unless they're hypnotized. Dun, dundun, Sebastian, not so loud, but okay, but hypnotized for what reason? And by oooh? The three friends had no idea, but as they neared the front of the lunch line, they saw the burgers being served and the students ahead of them refusing to eat them. No, must have pancakes, one student said, pan cakes. Another one said the lunchly. He shook her head, no pancakes today, we only have burgers. Besides, it's lunchtime, not breakfast. But the students in line did not seem to like her answer. A chant rose up from all of the students in line, aside from Cooper, Sebastian and Julia. Pan cakes, pan cakes, pancakes. The three friends grabbed their burgers and ran out of the line. What has gotten into them? Said you as they sat down. We told you hypnosis, responded Cooper. Someone has hypnotized them all into wanting pancakes. That doesn't make sense. Why Just then their friend Jonah stood next to them, pancakes. I have pancakes. Must find Bubba. Jonah held up a pancake in the air, then went running out of the cafeteria. That's it that to hypnotized them, shouted Sebastian. But who is Bubba, wondered Julia. I haven't heard of anyone in our school named Bubba. Sebastian frowned. I've only met like one Bubba before at the oh he was at the aquarium in the octopus exhibit. Yep, there's an octopus named Bubba. Julia laughed, but Cooper gasped, are you saying everyone has been hypnotized by an octopus named bubble? Julia was still laughing. Guys, no way, there is no way on earth that there's a hypnotizing octopus at our holy canole. What is that? Julie was pointing out of the lunch room window at something that looked exactly like an octopus running around on eight wobbly legs. Without a word, the three friends abandoned their burgers and ran toward the cafeteria doors. They were about to open them when Sebastian threw his arm out to stop his friends. Wait, wait, we can't just go rushing out after hypnotizing octopus without safety gear. Oh oh yeah, good point. He searched the lost and found table beside the door and presented them each with sunglasses. Here, put these on. The friends all put on their sunglasses and then raced out the cafeteria door. The octopus was heading toward the playground, shooting colorful beams out of its funnel as the kids played. Each time a beam hit a student, they stopped playing and began wandering around on the hunt for the pancakes. Hey Buba, shouted Julia. The octopus turned and ran towards them on its eight legs like a very wobbly spider. It stopped in front of them and asked, pancakes. No, we don't have any pancakes for you. Stop hypnotizing, our friends, shouted Cooper. Bubba looked angry. He aimed his funnel at them and shouted, Bubba, what pancakes. The friends dove out of the way inductus the octopus's hypno rays were launched at them. They scattered in different directions, trying to confuse the octopus. Hypno rays flew all over the field, bouncing off of playground equipment and the grass. Pancakes for Baba. Pancakes now, shouted the octopus. What now? Cooper yelled to his friends. Julia had an idea, pancakes for Bubba, She asked loudly, Bubba. The octopus stopped shooting his hypno rays. Yes, pancakes, we can get you all the pancakes. A pancake buffet even you just need to fix all of our classmates. Unhypnotize them now, and we will get you all the pancakes you could ever want. I promise. Bubba brought a tentacle to his face in thought. All the pancakes for Baba. Yes. Sebastian nodded. Bubba aimed his funnel at the hypnotized kids on the playground. The hypno rays seemed to go in reverse now as colorful light raced from the students and back into the octopus's funnel. Yes, thank you, Baba. Fix everyone else and we will get you those pancakes. Buba made his way around the school on his wobbly legs, unhypnotizing all the students. Cooper, Sebastian, and Julia set up a trail of pancakes leading to a buffet inside the aquarium. When the last student was back to normal, the friends led Bubba to their path. He gobbled up the pancakes and was so happy he didn't even notice that they were leading him to the aquarium until he was back with the octopus exhibit. Inside the exhibit, the friends had set up in all you can eat pancake buffet. There were stacks of blueberry strawberry banana and chocolate chip pancakes covering the tables all around. There was even a chef set up with an electric griddle in case Bubba decided he needed more. The aquariust ran into the room and saw Bubba feasting on pancakes. There you are, he exclaimed, while trying to catch his breath. Oh, I have been looking everywhere for you. Then he looked around the room. Pancakes. You escaped for pancakes. Bubba looked at his caretaker, Bubba love pancake. Then he ate a stack of chocolate chip pancakes one bite. Home, the kids explained how Buba hypnotized their school and how they lured him back. The Aquarius looked at Bubba sternly. Okay, Bubba, if you promise not to hypnotize anything else, then you can eat pancakes once a week. Bubba frowned. The aquarius to a pancake days. Okay, why is a week? The octopus waved its tentacles happily deal Then it jumped back into its tank and curled up for a nap. Even though this is the end of our story, I really hope this is the end of the hypnotizing adventures from this very pancake loving octopus the end. Great job, you listened all the way to the end, and you know what, tim it has HiT's time for some curd. So I want to say hit a Whalin from Vancouver Island, Jovian Goldie from Australia, Jude from Illinois, Deep Tea from Pennsylvania, Gabe from Richmond, Virginia, and Ramona from Calgary, Canada. I'm so glad that you're all on our kit Shirt Stories family. We could not have this much fun with imagination without you, my friends. Well, you have a superb duber day and I will see you on our next adventure. Bye.
