Everybody please say hello to Ariana.

Hello Ariana.

Hi.

How are you sweetheart?

I'm good.

Good to see you again.

Good to see you again too.

You look awful nice today.

Thank you.

You're handsome too.

I'm handsome.

Yes.

Thank you so much.

Wow, what you been doing since I last saw you?

Well you see Mr. Harvey, I've been working on my third book.

I launched my online store, and I also wrote a song for my mommy, Butterfly.

You launched, you launched an online store?

Yes.

What you selling?

Well the books and a charm line, which you see right there.

A charm line?

You say you wrote a song for your mommy?

Yes.

Why won't you sing it for me?

From the day I was born, I looked in your eyes and felt your sweet love.

I knew you were the one when I opened my eyes and heard from above.

I'll be there when you fly and I'll be there in new lands.

I'll be there always.

My butterfly, one day you'll fly.

I'm a butterfly.

Any of y'all feeling like you failed your children somewhere?

You're really bright for a six year old.

What grade you in?

Well I'm in third grade so you see...

Huh?

In the third grade?

Yeah.

You see when I was two I was in kindergarten.

My favorite subject is science, because I really want to be a scientist inventor.

It invents a machine that I call my EST.

It stands for emotional sensory toy, because it has a sensor in the eye and it uses AI, so it thinks like a human, so it understands what it sees.

And then it'll use that sensor to look at the child's face and notice feeling.

And then it'll do something to try and calm it down, like when a child was lonely and might play a game with it.

It's just like a buddy inside a toy.

Ariana, let me ask you, so they told me that you put me in one of your new books. Did you?

Well, you see, Mr. Harvey, you're the keeper of the key.

And your mustache is pretty handsome.

I just had to give it its own character, which is Mr. Mustachio.

And the reason I put you in the book is because you're smart, hilarious, and a good businessman.

Because the last time I saw you, we were gonna talk those terms about the business deal, and we never got to do that.

And I thought, since I'm writing the books and illustrating the pictures, and you brought your name into the book, we're gonna have a lot of sales on that one, we're gonna need a good publisher.

I was thinking maybe you could bring your publisher to the table.

That's really nice of you to put me in the book.

I can introduce you all to my publisher.

They could do a big deal.

Let me- Great, let's set up a meeting. Of course.

Meeting in Las Vegas.

Have a meeting in Las Vegas?

Do you know how to count cards?

Playing cards?

Um, I know how to play go fish.

Okay, let me ask you this question because I heard this about you.

I heard you walked on your first red carpet the other day.

You're right, it was amazing.

I even got to do a campaign for Red Nose Day.

It's where everyone comes together to get rid of child poverty.

One red nose at a time.

I feel very lucky to be a part of this because I think it's very important we help the children in need.

Folks, give it up for Ariana.

Most eight-year-old kids like running around outside with their friends, playing sports and video games in their free time.

But my next guest has more intellectual interests.

At the age of eight, he's already a published author with the best-selling book on Amazon.

His book is called Kayla and Kyle, The Walking Dictionary's Election Day.

And it was also recently accepted into the Library of Congress.

Everybody, please welcome Nicholas Buama.

Hey, Nicholas, how you doing, man?

I'm doing great.

How are you?

Wonderful.

I've never talked to an eight-year-old intellectual before, so...

I'm gonna have to pull myself together, because I've been a 62-year-old fool for...

a lot of years now.

So let me ask you this, Nicholas.

What made you write this book?

I wrote this book because my mom started to teach me big words.

So when I was at school and I asked to collaborate, my teacher messaged my mom.

So when I got home, my mom asked me, do I want to write a book?

And I said yes, and that's where it all began.

Tell me a little bit, you know, about your book.

What is it about?

My book is about helping kids expand their vocabularies, and Kayla and Kyle are having an election,

and throughout the way, Kayla and Kyle are using big words.

Kayla and Kyle, who is, oh they the dictionaries.

Oh they the two books.

You mean the two characters?

Oh they're two, yeah the two characters.

That's what I was trying.

Yeah the two characters that I thought was books

but obviously since I ain't read a lot of them how would I know what a book look like?

100

So let me ask some, and they walk around and they just use big words.

101

They're having an election and throughout the way they're using big words.

102

Have you ever talked to an adult that didn't know what you was talking about?

103

Plenty of times.

104

You don't know what it feels like to be a grown man to be talking to a child

105

and you don't know how to talk to him cause, you scared he might say something with a big word in you, you don't know what it is.

106

Can I do it right now?

107

Yeah, go ahead, let me try it.

108

Okay, exacerbate.

109

Exa-cer-what?

110

Exa-cer-bait.

111

Exa-cer-bait, just take one guess of what it means.

112

I'll tell you what it means.

113

It means to make a situation worse.

114

Yeah, that's what it'll do.

115

Say it again.

116

Exa-cer-bait.

117

Okay, but who you hollering at though?

118

What do you mean like who I'm hollering at?

119

I like you, man.

120

So you could probably spell good too, huh?

121

Man, you ever enter spelling bees and stuff?

122

You ain't got time for that.

123

124

You, now you recently had a book signing, didn't you?

125

Mm-hmm.

126

Yeah, how did that go?

127

It went well.

128

It was at Barnes and Nobles, and I sold out of books in less than an hour.

129

I hear that you've been receiving some letters from some kids who bought your book.

130

What have some of the kids been saying?

131

They say I inspire them, and they wanna write books too.

132

Man, you a good kid, you know that?

133

Mm-hmm.

134

You're pretty fly too.

135

Thanks.

136

Being smart is a great gift to have.

137

I know.

138

I didn't get that gift when I was growing up.

139

But you are smart.

140

Well, I appreciate you saying that, man, yeah.

141

I'm smart about a couple things, you know, like, like big words, I'm not really good at big words.

142

I never, I didn't have this book.

143

See, if I'd have had this book when I was a kid, I'd have knew some big words, like watch this right here.

144

Standing in front of the mirror with it.

145

Innate.

146

You ain't even read the, how you know that?

147

I can't remember how it's a book.

148

Okay, let me ask you this.

149

I heard you got a pretty big goal for yourself.

150

What is that?

151

157

Oh, you got two more goals.

158

And another one is to donate some books to take to Ghana to get to their schools and libraries.

159

And another one is to get enough subscribers for my YouTube channel, because I'm doing a 30 second word.

160

It's where I'll teach you a word in 30 seconds or less.

161

Okay, let me tell you what I'm gonna do.

162

How many of these books do you wanna put in Ghana?

But you're friends, right?

193

194

Yeah, what's the difference between a friend and a girlfriend?

195

The difference is that you have a crush on her, but when you're just a friend, you don't have a crush on her, you just like her.

277

She's a bug loving little girl who has always teased by her peers for her insect fascination

278

But after this hashtag bugs are for girls went viral she became one of the coolest girls in school So right now,

279

here, with her very own book, show and tell, please welcome nine-year-old Sophia.

280

Hi Sophia.

281

Hi.

282

How are you?

283

Where are you from, darling?

284

Canada.

285

Canada?

286

Yeah, it took a while to get here.

287

Took a while to get here?

288

Yeah.

289

What a...

290

So Sophia, what made you interested in bugs?

291

Well once, when I was three, I went to a butterfly conservatory, which is a zoo, but only for butterflies.

292

And as soon as I walked in, a blue butterfly landed on my shoulder and it wouldn't get off.

293

And ever since then, I fell in love with insects.

294

Yeah.

295

Yeah.

296

So, let me ask you something.

297

Why do you think insects are scary to some people?

298

Some insects, like a tarantula, look scary.

299

But some tarantulas won't hurt you.

300

Some won't hurt you.

301

Yeah, some.

302

And some bugs you just don't want to hold because they have territorial offense, which means they'll bite you, sting you, pinch you.

303

Great, yeah, well.

304

So you gonna teach us about some bugs today.

305

Yeah.

306

That's pretty much why I ain't into bugs, I think.

307

So go ahead, what's with the first bug, what is it?

308

The first bug is a stick bug.

309

The stick bug is called a stick bug because it looks just like a stick.

310

And the stick bug, the stick bug can reproduce its own eggs

311

but only the female can reproduce its own eggs without a male.

312

So basically it can reproduce its own eggs, but it will only make female eggs.

313

But when it's reproducing eggs with a male, it'll make male and female eggs.

314

And it's not turn, which means it only, it's only awake at night and it's motionless at, in the daytime.

315

Yeah.

316

So does that ever come out the cage? Do you?

317

Yeah.

318

I don't, that's...

319

Come on bud.

320

This is the stick bug.

321

Do you have a name for it?

322

Um, oh I didn't name it but I'm gonna call it sticky.

323

Sticky?

324

Yeah, sticky.

325

Okay.

326

Yeah.

327

Does it have one of those defense mechanisms you were talking about?

328

No, this one doesn't bite.

329

All of these bugs don't bite.

330

Oh, no bite or nothing.

331

No, they don't fly, they don't bite, they're really calm.

332

Good.

333
