Jason Kelce really fumbled when it came to this bedtime story.
At least, according to his wife Kylie Kelce. The Philadelphia Eagles alum recalled a time when a customized version of Pinocchio downright scared their daughter, Elliotte, 4.
“They’ll tell me sometimes, the girls will tell me they want one of their stuffed animals in the story,” Jason—who also shares kids Wyatt, 6, Bennett, 2, and Finnley, 7 months, with Kylie—said on the Dec. 3 episode of his and brother Travis Kelce‘s New Heights podcast, “or they want to be in the story themselves.”
So, one night, Elliotte requested that Jason tell her the story of Pinocchio, featuring her stuffie Slothy.
“Ellie wished upon a star, and Slothy came to life,” Jason said. “And her eyes went just [wide] and she didn’t move, and she was just holding the stuffed animal. I had a Jiminy Cricket figurine. I had a whole conscience thing going on and everything.”
“After the story, Ellie was just so terrified,” the retired NFL star continued. “Kylie was so furious. She’s like ‘What the f–k is wrong with you?'”
