see what questions you've got. Let's see a net in Greenville, south CarOlina iner .

either in IT.

How are you? I'm fantastic. Thanks for your call today.

That's great. Well, I think i'll tell you a problem I have. Maybe you can .

help me solve IT OK.

Um my husband, I now have two granddaughters, so we're so excited. One is theory, three years old. And the other is willow who's two and .

a half await so wait they named they named their daughter .

theory yeah her exert name is actually to rela.

Oh okay. Is her .

theory first?

Oh that's funny. okay.

And um and her cuts and is well well and well is to going to have but they don't live near me OK. Um we've had a chance to visit and you know we start to bond with them and then we fly back and then they kind of forget and get kind of scared grandma and grandpa. So what we decided to do was have a way of telling them a story, warm mine.

And initially I thought more, get some books, library, and we will get one thing. And I call my daughter, and she's mom. I thinks that files kind of large. I not know whether you'd be able to send IT by email and so i'm not you know real technically worry and I know how to turn my computer and do were processing but um I can't need help knowing how I could possibly make A A video file that I could send them by email and you know we could say, hey, you know his grand mom and grandma ul, here's a story for you day and IT would kind of keep up .

that bond you know that's so sweet that's a great idea that is it's so nice that you are thinking like that. Um first, well, I want you to make sure that you have the right gear. Okay, okay.

So i'm going to recommend that you get yourself a nice tripod with a what's called a ring light as you can. You can record this on your phone and i'll send you a link to once you don't have to worry about that. okay? They're really relatively inexpensive.

There are like thirty five dollars. But I want, I want you guys to look bright on the screen, and I want the video to be not like dark and gloomy. And I want when you guys are smiling, I want, I want them to see your smiles and to hear your your cats and your tones and your inflections when you talk about and the big scary monster came out. So, yeah.

And then you hold .

the book up to him. Go look, here's the big scary monster did see IT h, i'd be scared too. You, so yeah and so you know, because you're reading to kids and because it's through even another medium, because you're not there, I want you guys to really act IT out.

You know, even if you think it's too much, you're probably okay because OK because again, you want they have the attention span of a net. I think I do too. We all do, but then even more so alright OK, so so you're going to record this and then you're onna create a private youtube channel.

okay.

and you're gonna upload your stories to your private youtube channel so that this week we're not emAiling anything, we're not doing anything, okay? So and the only person that can see the stories is, is when you share the lake, then they will have the link to the stories. So nobody who's trolling on facebook or anything like that, there's going to be able to stay at just whoever you give that link to. And so and so then your daughter can have bookMarks to this so that when the kids say, oh, you don't I really wanted hear about the butterfly story, then your daughter, oh, OK here's grand my grandpa with the butterfly story, here's grandon grandpa with the scary monster story or whatever IT may be and so that's the other thing. Now do the kids have ipad?

The the one that three theory does yeah okay.

Um there's also there are some gams that are made for grandparents to play over the miles with the grandchildren so OK so you would fire up maybe is like Candy land or something like that. And you have your video on so you can see you and then you can see her play video. You can see her play the game along with you well.

And so it's kind of almost as if you're sitting there, but not quite yes, it's close. And then you know you may also want to record some nighttime prayers or whatever that may be. And so there are all these like really grape things that you can put into the gram grandpa channel.

And so I I put together some links for you also about these these games OK, that maybe you might want to check out because I haven't use them personally. I don't have grandchildren, people that that that i've recommended IT said that, oh, wow, this was really great because he helps create a boy. I I recommended them to, I think, a color, and not about a year ago, because I think his grandchildren or her grandchildren are in germany, mali, recall.

So let me put, let me put those togethers for you. And then they'll be over at inside the Q N A forum and that inside metal dog com flash community in the q and a fork you wanted. Check them out.

What a great idea. I'd love to see some too. Don't forget overact overact overact.
