Because love itself is good isn’t it? Well, isn’t it??
When Molly got her first smartphone, she was so excited she couldn’t stop staring at her screen and she walked into a power pole. Carl is not so convinced by this flashy and very useful technology.
Molly and Carl finally get their dream jobs as vets but soon learn it’s not all cuddles with cute animals — big and important decisions have to be made. Like whether to de-sex a pet or when it might be best to euthanise a much-loved furry member of the family.
Here’s a little thought experiment: if you found out the world was going to end next week, would the rules about right and wrong change? If there was no tomorrow would it be okay to steal something you really wanted, or punch someone who had been bullying you? Let’s see how Molly and Carl deal with a little thing called… the end of the world.
Carl has shrunk Molly and set her up in a world built of LEGO. You’d think that would be a fun adventure, but not for Molly, who just doesn’t fit in. We find out if it’s possible to build a world that works for everyone.
Molly and Carl head to Sweden to try one of the most disgusting foods in the world. Just wait until you find out what it is! Between gagging and dry retching, they try to answer an important question — am I brave or am I a coward? And is one always good and one always bad?
Have you ever been punished for something that was an accident? Like, you really, really didn’t mean to do it, but you still got in trouble. Today’s BITE: If you didn’t mean to do something should you still get in trouble?
Do you ever play computer games where you have to kill another character? Does that make you feel bad? Should it? Today’s BITE: Is it wrong to enjoy killing people in computing games?

At first I made this site for my kids, but like any dad I got a little over excited. I hope you find it as useful as they do.
Whether you want to listen to them together in the car, or alone in your room - the content is all safe for younger ears.
Some brilliant points raised in this. I think really kids just want to emulate the adults they care about and do ‘adult’ looking things.
I know I used to love a small non-alcoholic shandy when I was a kid and we were out for a meal, and pretending to smoke with those candy sticks when it was cold in winter always felt naughty. But I don’t believe anyone that says they drink beer for the taste of it.
