Hey, did you know that Six Minutes is supported by Acorns Early? Okay, confession time, I spent way too much money on fast fashion. Total spur of the moment, total impulse buys. And the clothes don't even last that long before ripping. The lesson I'm finally learning? Make a budget and save money for higher quality things. Want to teach your kids how to budget, save and make healthy spending habits that don't wear out? Like my jeans. That's where Acorns Early comes in. Acorns Early is the smart debit card and money app that grows kids' money skills as they grow. Start with the in-app chores tracker to teach the value of the dollar. Let kids set savings goals and learn healthy money habits early. Our producer Jeremy uses Acorns Early with his 11-year-old son, and they are learning how to save up for a custom Roblox costume for Halloween this year. Not a cheap one that rips. Like my jeans. What else can I say? We love Acorns Early here at GZM and we think you will too. Ready to teach your kids the smart way to earn, save and spend?

Imagine being 12 years old, already having 30 bone fractures, and wondering, why can't I just play like other kids? I'm Leanne, and I was diagnosed with brittle bones disease. Now, I'm running the Bank of America Chicago Marathon for Larry Children's. So every kid can just be a kid.

Support for Six Minutes comes from KiwiCo. When was the last time you had fun learning? For me, it was last month when a bright KiwiCo crate showed up in the mail for me and my niece. Inside, we found a hands-on project that mixed science and art with a whole lot of fun. KiwiCo is a subscription service that sends kids of all ages monthly crates packed with steam projects where you build robots or laser projectors, programmable music boxes, and so much more. While you're building, you're also discovering the science and art that makes it all work. And the best part? These projects are made to play with again and again. The crate I got from my niece was a homemade laser speaker and after she built it, all on her own. Well, we've been blasting the K-Pop Demon Hunter soundtrack nonstop. KiwiCo helps kids discover they have what it takes to build, create and innovate, one crate at a time. Tinker, create and innovate with KiwiCo. Get up to 50% off your first crate at kiwico.com, promo code Six Minutes. That's up to 50% off your first crate at kiwico.com, promo code Six Minutes.

There once was a girl named Adelaide. Brilliant and kind, she was beloved by everyone, especially her father.

SPEAKER_1 (3:54)

Papa?

SPEAKER_7 (3:56)

What's happening to me? Am I gonna die?

SPEAKER_4 (4:01)

My darling Adelaide, I'll never let you go. But Adelaide was very sick, and no matter how hard he tried, her scientist papa was unable to save her. So instead, he tried to recreate her. And then, there was a second girl. Welcome to the world, Holliday.

SPEAKER_7 (4:32)

I'm Holliday.

SPEAKER_4 (4:39)

She too was brilliant and kind, but she was also different. Special.

SPEAKER_9 (4:46)

Hubby, let's fly!

SPEAKER_6 (4:48)

Woohoo!

SPEAKER_3 (4:49)

How's that for normal?

SPEAKER_4 (4:56)

When Holiday learned the truth about her purpose, she ran away, choosing to start over, with no memory of who or what she was.

SPEAKER_3 (5:07)

You realize that when I do this, you won't remember anything. Give me a push on three.

SPEAKER_10 (5:13)

One, two, three.
