122. Ol’ Sister Shovel-Tooth (honk-honk-honking around the floor)

Hello and happy March! This week Max is telling us a tale that will (hopefully) resonate with every person who thinks it's cool to hang around their high school years after they graduate (cough cough, Dale, cough cough). Then, Janey is going to confront her greatest fear by telling a beautiful story about the Seal People. Enjoy!
