03:03 – Mick asks about the Banshee’s comb. Caitlin tells the story and laughs.
03:39 – Mick asks about “stepping on a crack.” Safia tells a story about her mother. She also tells one about “stepping on a stone.” Funny!
05:05 – Caitlin talks about the Headless Horseman — a funny account involving a person who told the story.
05:57 – Mick asks about “a knife falling to the floor.” Safia has a great story.
06:47 – Safia talks about her evil eye bracelet. They then talk about black cats and get the fits of laughing.
07:39 – Caitlin talks about her black cat, who brought her bad luck — and then tells the story of when he died. Very funny.
08:53 – Safia follows up with another funny story about her dog, Snowball, and the day he died. Another funny moment: her granny gave her a fiver to stop crying. She then tells another story about her pet bird — same story, he died too! This time there are actions. She also talks about holding a funeral for him and how her friends came to it.
12:54 – Caitlin talks about her cat named Chestnut, who bites her toes. Safia jumps in with another funny story — this one involving Taytos.
