[THEME SONG PLAYING]
WILL BOWLES: Could you tell everyone your name, please?
CICI: CiCi.
WILL BOWLES: And how old are you, CiCi?
CICI: Eight.
WILL BOWLES: So you have a story for us.
What is it called?
CICI: "Goth Boy." One day there was a
two-year-old boy named Max.
His mom, she met this guy, Christian.
They started dating, and then they got married.
And then when Max sees his new stepdad, his stepdad is goth.
He's so goth that he wears black nail polish, black
skinny jeans, and a black tank top.
His eyes are black, too.
And then, next thing you know, he is moving all his stuff
in-- black furniture, a black phone, black
earrings, black hair dye.
It's not exactly what Max was hoping.
So he started testing him.
Not like taking a quiz testing him, but like testing him,
like getting on his nerves and stuff.
Every day whenever he's changing his diaper, he--
WILL BOWLES: He--
You can say it.
CICI: --pees on him.
JOSH FLAUM: OK.
WILL BOWLES: OK.
Sure.
CICI: And then Christian just ignored him, because he didn't
want to say anything that would make him cry.
And then Max crawled out of his crib and sat right in the
middle of the living room floor and started screaming
and crying in the middle of the night.
And then it was morning, and that was his birthday.
Now he's turning three.
He got a little more mature.
And then Christian took Max to the store
called Goth for Christmas.
They picked out some goth clothes.

And so he started to actually like him, because every day he
flips him and does all that.
Max learns something.
He learned that being goth isn't really that bad.
It's actually a little funner than being not goth.
