SPEAKER_02 0:16

Welcome to another episode of It's a Kids World Podcast. It is Monday, March the 9th. Hope everyone had a good weekend. Um, I can see the time change is starting to affect people. So, you know, we got a couple sleepy people and stuff, but you know, hopefully the day progress and everything will get better. Um, it's been a while. This is our first time recording in probably a month. Had some technical difficulties going on, but with the help of ChatGPT, figured it all out. So we're good to go. So today we have Zariah. And we back at it. Um, how was your weekend?

SPEAKER_01 1:00

Good actually, because I got to build my bedroom set.

SPEAKER_02 1:05

Tell me about that.

SPEAKER_01 1:06

Me and my sister, we had bump beds. But first we built my brother's bed. And then we built our bed. Then we built my big sister bed last. But my big sister's bed was actually kinda easy. So we should've um built her bed first. But my brother and my other sister is still mad about um me and Tanaya having LED lights.

SPEAKER_02 1:32

Well, y'all got LED uh LED lights around the bed?

SPEAKER_01 1:35

No, we got it like on our um hairboard.

SPEAKER_02 1:39

Um cool. Wait, how many sisters do you have?

SPEAKER_01 1:42

Two.

SPEAKER_02 1:43

Two. I didn't know you had sisters. I kind of figure you had one, but wait, how old are your sisters?

SPEAKER_01 1:51

One of them is 13 and the other one is 10, about to turn on, turn 11 on April 2nd.

SPEAKER_02 1:58

Um, both of them go to school down the street.

SPEAKER_01 2:01

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_02 2:01

I never I never knew that. But that's good though. So you was able to build. What did you do? You said you helped build the beds. What did you do exactly?

SPEAKER_01 2:09

All I did was help my sister. And um, we um build the beds, and then once we built the bed, like my sister, he was like going crazy because like my brother almost broke the lights. Like he keep on coming in our room, breaking everything. Like, yesterday, he um he was like coming in, me and uh uh Makai and Cuz we shut our room. He keep on coming in, getting all on the um on the ladder and stuff, keep on getting on her bed, keep on getting on my bed. He ripping off my LED lights off my head. It's like me driving me crazy because like I get it, like he like the only boy in the family, but um, it don't mean that you gotta come and mess with the other sisters because that just drives us crazy.

SPEAKER_02 2:57

I understand.

SPEAKER_01 2:58

He annoys us so badly, it just won't just want me to hurt him. But I still love him.

SPEAKER_02 3:03

To play devil's advocate, growing up, I was the only boy in the house until my siblings came like later on. But yeah, it was different growing up in a house full of women, so I can understand, but I don't I didn't have any other kids in the house with me, though. So I guess for him to have siblings in the house that can be kind of annoying. I can see why y'all would be annoyed. But yeah, I grew up in a house full of women. It was interesting. But they was all older though, with no like kids, but but now it was good though that you got a chance to um to do that and make sure you you know enjoyed it or whatever.

SPEAKER_01 3:40

All week I've just been cleaning up, folding clothes, and reading books. That's the only thing I've been doing.

SPEAKER_02 3:47

What book did you read?

SPEAKER_01 3:48

Um, Diary of Wimpiquet.

SPEAKER_02 3:51

Classic. Um, them some classic books. Man, them books have been around so long, especially that series. But that's crazy. I never read Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I I never read those books at all. How many have you read? Is that the only one? I know it's not the only one.

SPEAKER_01 4:06

I got two books. The purple one and the orange one.

SPEAKER_02 4:10

Does he like get older in the books or does he like stay the same age?

SPEAKER_01 4:16

I guess stay the same age.

SPEAKER_02 4:18

Okay.

unknown 4:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 4:19

I didn't know if it was like, you know, like, you into Harry Potter?

SPEAKER_01 4:23

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02 4:23

You know, like Harry Potter books, like every book, it's like he's getting older and stuff. That's why, that's why I thought it was like that.

SPEAKER_01 4:29

When I was in first grade in my old school, um, my teacher, I was in first grade, and she used to always read us books about Harry Potter. Like she used to have like all the chapters. And every time um she talked about him, he like get older in the books.

SPEAKER_02 4:46

Yeah, I only read one book, but what's interesting, and I've never been, but I plan on going in Chicago, and I'll show you once we get off of here. They have like a Harry Potter store, and it's like so um, it's it's pretty dope. Like you can go in and do a lot of uh other things and see a lot of stuff uh in that store. It's like downtown Chicago.

SPEAKER_01 5:08

I used to always act like I'm falling asleep in my um classroom so I can just sit there and uh go to sleep and make somebody wake me up. I used to love doing that.

SPEAKER_02 5:18

Okay, that was random. Why did you say that?

SPEAKER_01 5:21

Because like when I was in first grade and she was reading the books, me and my friends used to always just sit by each other and just um like act like we sleep so somebody can wake us up. It'd be fun doing that.

SPEAKER_02 5:34

Oh, I mean, if you say so, I don't know where that just came from, but hey, if if you say so. So um, so one thing, so back in February, we had Small Business Day. Um, we didn't get a chance to talk about it because uh, like I said, we had some technical issues going on. But um it was a success. Like we had people to come by the table. We uh we did have like other students at the school have their table set up. They made profits from it. The school didn't take anything. Those students were allowed to keep their money, do whatever they wanted to do with it. So that was something that was nice with our share of the profit. What did we do?

SPEAKER_01 6:14

We bought wing stop.

SPEAKER_02 6:16

We had the wing stop. And that was also the week of um my birthday. Your birthday, yeah. So how how old are you now?

I didn't know if you liked it or not, so I assume that you liked it. McDonald's. See, look at that. Spot on. I didn't even know that. So that that was a good, that was a good choice.

SPEAKER_01 9:11

Good guess.

SPEAKER_02 9:12

So, spring break. We got spring break coming up. Spring break starts on Friday at one o'clock. So at one o'clock, boom, you are a free woman. So what are you doing with your spring break?

SPEAKER_01 9:24

I have no clue. Probably just cleaning up again and reading books. Like I have no device, nothing. My brother got a game and a TV. My sister got a Chromebook and her phone. My other sister got a Chromebook and I just I'm just left with LED lights and books.

SPEAKER_02 9:42

You and these LED lights.

SPEAKER_01 9:43

SPEAKER_02 9:48

Yeah, spring break is is a good week to reset. Um I feel like for the teachers and stuff and for the kids, like, you know, you know, we we get we get worn out just like y'all do. So I feel like it'd be a good reset. I don't have any plans. I may I may go out of town for a few days. Um I may get away.

SPEAKER_01 10:10

SPEAKER_01 10:29

Well, my mama, I don't think my mama's gonna be at work, but I think she is.

SPEAKER_02 10:33

Yeah, I'll be tear that house up.

SPEAKER_01 10:35

Every holiday, um, my mama always have work. And I hate that because I never get sp get to spend time to with her. Like last Christmas, I didn't have nothing. Like my mama was not there. We didn't have no gifts, no nothing. My mama said she was feeling um sad. I was sad to her because I was bad. Like, she did tell us that we would not get in nothing. And so I was like, oh, Jesus Lord. Because every year she always said that, and I don't believe her, and I didn't believe her this year, and she actually didn't bring us nothing.

SPEAKER_02 11:12

Yeah. But I feel like it's just my personal opinion. I know as like a kid that's always something that you look forward to. But I also think that, you know, as long as you get things throughout the year, like those are still, you know, blessings that you're able to see, like, you know, the clothes you wear, the shoes you wear, and stuff like that. The, you know, even something like going to Texas Roll House, um, those are things to be thankful for. So, you know, and it it'll get better as time passes by.

SPEAKER_01 11:44

So that was my present.

SPEAKER_02 11:46

What was your present?

SPEAKER_01 11:47

Um, going to Texas Roll House.

SPEAKER_02 11:49

I'm sure, because you like to eat.

SPEAKER_01 11:51

Yep. I love eating.

SPEAKER_02 11:53

We know.

SPEAKER_01 11:55

Um It's like so good. I don't know. It's just food just makes me so happy.

SPEAKER_02 12:02

I'm sure. I feel like it was Texas Row House I went to and I had the um, it was some catfish. I think it was a Texas Row House. That food was good though. I don't even remember. It's been it's been a minute since I since I went. But um another thing going on this week is parent teacher conference. That used to be the scariest point of my life growing up. I hated. I hated it. I wasn't no bad kid, but it's like I used to like be a little bad. I used to laugh and kind of like not take stuff as serious. So I used to be scared teachers gonna snitch on me.

SPEAKER_01 12:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 12:38

This is the week that teachers snitch on kids.

SPEAKER_01 12:41

Yes, they I hate that. I be like wanting this teacher, I think that I can trust this teacher to tell, to not tell my mama or my daddy about this secret. And they go after at parent teacher conference, they're gonna go tell my mama that I I was um bullying this student or uh Why you first, why you bullying people? Well, it's just a what if. It's just a what if.

SPEAKER_02 13:05

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01 13:05

I would not do that. Well, like Please don't, but well, it's it's just self-defense. Like, I call it self-defense. Somebody bullying me, I bully them back.

SPEAKER_02 13:17

What are you talking about? Somewhere else or here?

SPEAKER_01 13:22

Somewhere else.

SPEAKER_02 13:23

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01 13:24

I actually put a boy in a trash can.

SPEAKER_02 13:26

Alright, T, we ain't gonna talk about that. But uh parents gonna talk about it. See, you said it was supposed to be a secret, now you're telling on yourself.

SPEAKER_01 13:35

I mean, they was they already told on me.

SPEAKER_02 13:37

Well, it ain't no secret no more. But you'll be fine though. I feel like you don't got nothing that your teacher you think your teachers here got something to tell on you this week for parent teacher conference? What?

SPEAKER_01 13:49

That I've been not paying attention to class because I haven't.

SPEAKER_02 13:52

Why why you haven't been paying attention though?

SPEAKER_01 13:54

It's like all these distractions. Like I did I do my work and I get it right sometimes, but sometimes I just need help because I don't be paying attention to that part. Like I pay attention, but like I don't pay attention as much to get the whole work done because I need I be needing help.

SPEAKER_02 14:10

Right.

SPEAKER_01 14:11

When we have partners, I be asking my partner, can they help me on this? But I think that's what partners are for.

SPEAKER_02 14:18

It is, but you also have to ask for help if you need help though. Like, if it's something that you didn't catch because you were distracted or whatever was going on, say something so you'll be able to get back on task.

SPEAKER_01 14:30

Yeah, I do. I be asking Miss Smith if I can, um, if she can help me, but she be like, did I pay attention to that uh did that problem? I was like, no.

SPEAKER_02 14:41

I didn't like having partners in school.

SPEAKER_01 14:43

Why?

SPEAKER_02 14:44

Because people don't be doing people don't be, yeah, if you got a good partner, some people don't pull their weight. I done have I have friends with I did all the work and they just sit there.

SPEAKER_00 14:53

Exactly. I hate that.

SPEAKER_02 14:55

See, that's what I'm saying. That's why I ain't want no partner. So then when you have to present your work, y'all did a great job. No, I did a great job.

SPEAKER_01 15:01

I hate that. I used to always be in kindergarten. They used to all I will always be in a group, like four in a group or two in a group, or three. And I just do all the work because I was like, they used to call me the smart kid. So I um do all the work. They help a little bit. Like they used to always make me draw everything because I used to always love drawing. Like I used to I just be drawing these stick figures stick figures. I used to hate it.

SPEAKER_02 15:31

I can't draw neither, so I'm with you.

SPEAKER_01 15:33

You always want me to draw something or do the math or something like that. Like, I knew two times one when I was in um second grade. I don't know how.

SPEAKER_02 15:45

I feel I feel like that's the time that you start learning multiplication facts around second grade, something like that, maybe. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 15:52

Because in third grade you learn like a lot more.

SPEAKER_02 15:55

Yeah, you start to expand on it, but no, I think you'll be good. Um, and it's okay to sometimes be distracted. We not perfect, especially in the classroom, so you will be able to be able to be our.

SPEAKER_01 16:12

So what I need to do is I need to go to ELA and get a 10. 10 points up so I can be in the fourth grade level. That's the only bad thing I need to do.

SPEAKER_02 16:24

It ain't bad. It's just, you know, that's a growth area where you need to grow it.

SPEAKER_01 16:29

SPEAKER_02 16:30

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's your growth area. Favorite time of the year. What's your favorite time of the year? Because the weather changed. Hey, I was sitting outside yesterday. It felt so good yesterday.

SPEAKER_01 16:39

SPEAKER_02 16:42

Why you ain't go?

SPEAKER_01 16:43

Because my mama said I can't go. Well, she said that she wanted to be outside, but she was like not talking about that outside. She said she wants to talk about that outside.

SPEAKER_02 16:58

Okay, we're gonna leave that alone. But yeah, I know what I know outside. Your mama talking about, ew, your mama said she's trying to be outside.

SPEAKER_02 17:35

Yeah, and and you can like find a spot in the park by and be to yourself and not have to worry about people because the park is so big.

SPEAKER_01 17:45

Um I used to always try to climb the tree. My mom would like call me a monkey because I used to love climbing up trees. Like the trees used to be like to where you can climb it all the way to the top. Well, I'd be in the middle because I'd be too screwed. I'll I'm I think I'm screwed of heights. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 21:17

You need to stay away from the pool then. You having all these crazy occurrences, you need to stay out of the water.

SPEAKER_01 21:23

And I hold myself onto the thing because I was drowning and my mama was like, didn't it see me because I think she was on her phone. And so my sister pulled me up, and then I was like, I was like holding my breath. She took me out of that pool. I was so mad at her. I'm not sure. I was trying to push her back in the water so she can drown.

SPEAKER_02 22:23

What do you um think you've been kind of like struggling with? Reading, math, reading?

Like I think that I can like do the math problems that somebody gives me, like I did in um the talent show, 43 times 37. 1591. That's the only thing I can remember. Well, I can remember some more facts, but like that's the only thing that's easy enough to I can remember.

SPEAKER_02 22:59

But are you t are you telling them that you are struggling or need help?

SPEAKER_01 23:05

I did one, I went on my diagnostic, and I um only did one question and got off. I was trying to do something, but like the music, it was like TikTok music.

SPEAKER_01 23:43

So I went to fifth grade.
