Messy barrister and the chocolate thief

Messy barrister and the chocolate thief

Author: Fun Kids August 3, 2026 Duration: 22:42

Court is in session and Judge Bex is up against her toughest opponent yet: a real-life barrister!

Bonnie takes her dad to court over a serious double standard. He tells her to keep her room tidy while his own room is a dumping ground and he’s always on his bowling game, even though Bonnie isn’t allowed any mobile devices at all.

Dad’s defence falls apart the moment he starts listing his clutter, because half of it turns out to be presents Bonnie gave him...

Then Nathaniel accuses his dad of using chocolate as leverage. Ten minutes of violin practice earns a point, points earn chocolate, but he only gets to eat it once a week!

Meanwhile Dad is on the sofa eating chocolate right in front of him and raiding the cooking chocolate too. His excuse? He’s protecting Nathaniel’s young teeth. Judge Bex is not convinced.

Ever had a fight with your brother over who really broke the remote, or felt a deep injustice when your pocket money was denied? Judge Bex is here to preside over these all-too-familiar courtroom dramas of everyday life. Hosted by the wonderfully witty Bex from Fun Kids, this podcast takes those petty squabbles and sibling stand-offs seriously-well, sort of seriously. Armed with an actual law degree and a gavel, Bex listens to the evidence presented by young plaintiffs and defendants, tackling cases of unfair chores, broken promises, and misplaced toys. Each episode feels like a playful legal session where Bex and her team of ace attorneys dissect the details, hear both sides, and deliver a verdict that’s both funny and surprisingly fair. It’s a unique blend of family-friendly humor and lighthearted problem-solving, giving kids a fun framework to think about justice, fairness, and how to resolve their own disputes. Tune in for a clever mix of kid-centric true crime for minor offenses, where the stakes are low but the courtroom drama is highly entertaining. You’ll find yourself rooting for both sides and maybe even picking up a few diplomatic skills for your next argument at home.
