 One of the great joys of parenthood is telling completely made up stories at bed time, and then repeating them on request. 

The delight they get is incredible - don't forget to do it.

I was getting so good at the stories, I wanted to test my powers, so I randomly made up a storie about two inanimate objects, a bin, and a cloth.

And thus, Binnie and Clothie was born.

17 episode later, all with intro music/singing and recorded for memories:

Binnie and Clothie World - was epic.

Even other stories that connected to B&C world were spun. 

I should do children's books 😂

"Do you remember that time when Binnie got tricked by Clothie to go on that ferris wheel, and finally overcame her fear of flying?"

"Or that time Binnie won a cereal contest and went on a rocket to space?"
 - "Yeah, that was episode 12 wasn't it?"

"And wasn't it sad that fight they had and lost touch for so many years? 😭"
