Kiddies Hotline: If you could create one rule that everyone had to follow, what would it be?

Loading player...
Ever wondered what the world would look like if kids were in charge? This episode is a delightful dive into the creative minds of children as they answer the big question: “If you could create one rule that everyone had to follow, what would it be?” The answers are as imaginative as you’d expect and maybe a little bit wise, too!

From the practical:“Everyone must stay in bed until nine o’clock in the morning!” to the deliciously rebellious “Ice cream for breakfast every day!", the kids don’t hold back. One young caller dreams of a world where “school must be on weekends only,” while another suggests, “Everybody must follow God.” And let’s not forget the ever-popular wish for free fast food.

With plenty of laughs and a few moments that make you think, this episode is a reminder that sometimes the simplest ideas are the most joyful.
