You should watch Avatar The Last Airbender (it's so funny and nice to watch with family or by yourself)

Agreed! Love the books, but the show... none of the characters sounded right and they were all portrayed wrong. TwT

Hi! I don't think we've met! I would totally suggest the BSC series and the Greatest Showman is my absolute favorite movie! Also, Jungle Cruise was really good too (It's a movie).

this is a hard riddle! if you guess this, (no cheating) then you will get a shoutout at the end of the week! Q-One day, a magician was boasting about how long he could hold his breath underwater. His record was 6 minutes. A kid that was listening said, "that's nothing, i can stay underwater for 10 minutes using not eqipment or air pockets!" The magician told the kid if he could do that, he'd give him $10,000. The kid did it and won the money. How? good luck!😄💜

yeah the glass of water on his head. my brother just told me this one😅
betawolf09 betawolf09

Yo ,I think I got it!! He filled something ( a glass, a bag, etc.) with water and held it over his head for ten minutes!! The boy never said that he could hold his breath for the ten minutes, he only said the he could be underwater for ten minutes.Is that it? I'm not that great at riddles.
100letters 100letters

He only put the lower half of his body underwater? Because the magician didn’t specify what part of the kid’s body had to stay underwater. IDK, I’m terrible at riddles.
dream_beyond dream_beyond

I think ur right, I mean it makes sense to me and don't worry I'm not any better at riddles...
