They're climbing, they're jumping, they're doing
this, they're swinging, they're twirling, they're
jumping from this wall to that wall to this.
It's like an obstacle course. It's like parkour.
Yeah, that's exactly it. Anywhere we go in life
is a parkour course. Welcome back to Keep It
Good. I'm your host Carly. And I'm your host
Emily. How you doing, Em? I'm good. I'm having
a good morning. Yeah. There was no fighting going
off to school today with the girls. So that's
a plus. Yeah. No yelling, screaming at each other,
me yelling at them. So life was good. I had a
good morning. How about you? How's your morning?
Well, somebody farted in yoga this morning. No.
Yeah. And it wasn't me. So I mean, my day, I
can't complain. That. Other girl my heart goes
out to because I don't I don't know if I should
recover from that that was loud and proud and
it was I felt so Bad, but at the same time I
was not fazed because I'm just surrounded by
farts I feel like they just follow me now that
I'm a boy mom. I'm just surrounded by like a
fart bubble always Am I manifesting it? Being
a boy mom. I don't know. Oh my gosh. Do you have
farty kids? I Would say no. I mean they do obviously,
but I don't think it's like like boys Yeah, I
feel like girls hide it and boys are like who
can be louder. Right here Sometimes I wish I
was a girl mom. I swear. Yeah. Well, you know
what's funny is because sometimes I don't think
that they You know, they don't have good manners
all the time but you know, randomly I'll just
hear like, and excuse me, excuse me. And I'm
like, oh, what happened? I just burped. Okay.
Or, you know, we call them toots. So, or they
tooted Ed in here, you know, so excuse me. I'm
like, oh, that was really good manners. Okay,
okay. So definitely a little different maybe.
No, my littlest is like, oh, open in the oven.
Oh my. Like, I mean, yeah, I live in a frat house.
I swear to God it's. getting worse by the day
the older they get. And my husband's no better.
He encourages it almost, you know? It's like
the ringleader. But I gotta say, my youngest,
he cracks me up. The other day, he literally
believes that mommy farts once a year. And I'm
like, yeah, I'm not about to correct that. No.
No idea. I was laughing so hard. I'm like, so
when does this one day a year happen? He goes,
well, it's coming up, Mom. It's like Mother's
Day. So my time is coming. Your time is coming.
My time is near. It's so funny. They're so funny.
Yeah. I hope they go through life always believing
that, no, my mom only farted once a year. It's
right near me. Or maybe you'll just think that
about girls, and that's amazing. I love that.
I love that for them and for us. Yeah, right.
So funny. So there's so many differences, right?
Like, because I have two girls, you have two
boys. Yeah, we're so alike, but we live in such
different habitats. Really do. True. You're stepping
on Legos, I'm stepping on Barbie shoes. Oh, that's
true. Yeah, kind of similar. I guess that's kind
of the same, but yeah. I mean, how do you, I
bet you get to enjoy like a clean toilet seat.
I always have to check because I mean, Literally
every day there's pee on the seat. They I don't
know what's wrong with their aim. I thought I
taught them correctly I mean, well, yeah, but
your girl teaching them, right? I'm sure Steve
helped but I got pretty You know inventive with
my teaching approach. I used the squirt gun and
I had great aim and They just they're they're
lacking that ability. Yeah. No, we're good with
the seat department. Maybe a little dribble,
but yeah We're good. Don't have to worry about
that. That's definitely a difference between
us. Don't use my toilet unless I've thoroughly
cleaned it. So bad. All right. So you're good
with the pee department. I am. What about boogers?
Have you ever found a booger collection, a wall,
a sampling of sorts? I have. Nothing crazy, but
I have. And I'm like, what is that? Yeah, we
have plenty of tissues in the house, so I don't
know what that is about, but that's disgusting.
Yeah, I'm actually surprised that like girls
go through that too, because I was like cleaning
my kid's room and I'm like, what is this braille
on the wall? Like what, like legit, what is this?
And then, then it hit me and I was like, oh my
God. Why? Why are you so feral? What does it
come down to? Maybe they're just lazy, and they
have to blow their nose, or something's blocking
it, and they go for it? No, but it's right next
to his bed. He has a little bunk bed, so it's
a little nook. And it was all right there. It
was like, dude, what are we thinking? Why? Oh,
man. I don't remember ever doing that as a child.
I don't either. No. They're just gross. Yeah.
Unless I just haven't found it. Maybe. I feel
like some of those things, and if they did do
it, it's definitely more maybe like private,
like it wouldn't be a noticeable thing. They
have a lot of, don't look at me like while I
do this, you know, like a little bit of embarrassment
and just trying to be, you know, proper. That's
a good thing. You know, maybe, I don't know,
a little bit different there for sure. For sure.
They, uh, I don't know. They're just a whole
different breed. Yeah. Well, I mean, that's like,
you grow up, right? Like, boys have cooties,
and it's just different. I think that they tend
to be a little, you know, for lack of a better
word, maybe a little bit, it's a little bit grosser
in certain ways, right? But I think, like I said,
the girls probably are gross, too. They just
do it more privately. I know. Like, I don't know.
I don't... It's, I'm learning a lot raising two
boys. I really, I really am. Well, especially
being a girl. Like your husband's like, oh yeah,
this is normal. Yeah, exactly. Steve's like,
well, no, I mean, that's, that's what happens.
You know, like a rough house. You know, I'm always
like, you know, get off of that, get off of this.
Like I, I come a long way. I used to be like
a very much helicopter mom, especially because
Yeah, I work in the ER. So I see exactly what
happens if that chair tips over and you land
face first, you know Yeah, I can predict what's
gonna happen But I just let them go out and play
and they're like the hearty boys back there on
an adventure and they're like covered in mud
and they got bugs and they got frogs and they
got all these things and I'm like What are they
doing? Yeah, and Steve's like they're boys. That's
exactly what they're They're doing exactly what
they're supposed to be doing. Right. They come
in. They're muddy. They're, yeah. My kids are
not like that. So even, like they want to go
outside and we, they're outside a lot, but definitely
not bugs or God forbid there's a stink bug in
the house or a spider or something like, no.
Even playing in the snow, they'll play for a
very little bit. It's like, oh, I'm cold. I'm
time. You know, it's time to come in. And I was
like that. I remember being like that and my
mom being like, no, I'm locking the door. It
took me so long to get you dressed. You're staying
out there for a little bit. Here's another pair
of gloves, you know? So I feel like there's,
yeah, definitely a little difference in that.
My kids are not making mud pies. Yeah, you know,
I was just, like, daydreaming about my childhood,
and I actually have to say I was outside in the
woods quite a bit. We lived across the street
from the stream and this waterfall, and, like,
me and my friend, we were outside all day every
day. But that was like different times, you know?
You didn't have like this crazy world. You could
be out there for hours, and your parents had
no idea where you were. You were just home by
dinner. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I get that.
We had more woods growing up than, you know,
we have at my house now. So there's not really...
And I am still helicopter -ish. I'm like, there's
ticks. Don't be well. You know, don't go over
there. I'll get the ball. There might be poison
ivy. Like, it's totally different. And my kids
don't roughhouse either. Like, going back to
that, they, like, will pick each other up, maybe.
Like, but it's not anything crazy. Like, if they
jump across the couch or, like, you know, their
little table with little chairs, if they jump
from that to the couch or something, I'm like,
whoa, that's enough. You're gonna fall. You're
getting wild. But I'm not used to it. You know
what I mean? That's the craziest it is, so. That's
the calmest it is here. Right. That's our baseline.
Yeah. I know when we're together, our other friends
who have boys and stuff, sometimes I'm like,
oh my gosh. Be careful, guys. Be careful. You
know, I'm so worried about them. And the boy
moms are like, what are we looking at? They're
fine. You know? I don't even. What are we worried
about? Yeah. What are we worried about? Emily,
relax. Now it's always, always rough housing.
But in the beginning I was like, why are you
doing this? I'd be just getting them all snuggly,
cozy for bed. And then my husband comes in like
WWE champion and he's doing this and flipping
them. And I'm like, what are you doing? I literally
just set the mood. We are all cozy, relaxed.
And I read that that actually good for them,
boys, to roughhouse with their father, like,
for bed and do all this stuff. And so I've lightened
up a little bit, but still, I'm like, my husband's
just so accident prone, not for himself, just
like, if he throws a ball, 99 % of the time,
it's going to hit exactly in the forehead of
one of my kids, you know, like, or if he spins
them around. My little one is guaranteed to get
hurt, you know? It's just like, he's gonna bang
his leg on the wall or something. Yeah, like,
he's just accident -prone. Like, one of our first
dates, he was trying to be all, like, you know,
romantic and open the door for me and all these
things. He slammed my hand in the freaking door.
Like, my fingers were popping out of the car.
So you're like, don't do this before bed. I don't
want to go to the hospital tonight. Yeah. I'm
like, I'm off tonight. I am off tonight, and
I'm not going in. So if you want to do this,
you can sit in the waiting room. No. It's not
happening. What about like, my kids will sit,
and they love crafts, and coloring, and Play
-Doh, and making key chains. Whatever kind of
kit I can find, they're into it. Usually involves
a lot of glitter. It's usually very messy. or
dusty with pigment of some sort. Your kids are
kind of crafty so they'll sit and do stuff like
that sometimes. They will sit for a little bit
and then towards the end they're like rushing
through their painting and you know it turns
from what was a masterpiece is now like a pile
of just mixed colors. Depends on I guess what
we're working on. My son will sit for hours and
do Legos when we let him. Loves Legos but No,
they typically are like on from one thing to
the next to the next. I mean, I started that
little art burn in the back and I've dedicated
like an hour a day in the summer to just be like,
let's get creative. Let's make a collage. Let's
do this. Let's paint some rocks. Like, right.
Whatever. So they've gotten used to like giving
me an hour. So just like, that's my time. You
know? Yeah. We have our moments, but my kids
will sit for hours like dolls or Barbies. You
know, we're still at that age where they're playing
with that stuff. and they play school, and for
the most part, when they're doing something like
that, they're playing great together. And I think
we do have fights, I think because they're the
same sex, but in the same breath, they also have
a built -in friend. It's very much a love -hate
relationship, right? Yeah. Yeah. Like, I had
just one brother, and we played together, for
sure, but it was more, like, outside, like, common
things. Like, if I wanted to play school, he
wasn't gonna sit there and listen to me read
him books. Mm -hmm. I had to depend on friends
because I have a brother and a sister But they
were way older than me like sisters eight years
older than me So we shared a room and it was
like on my side was like 101 Dalmatians little
mermaid on her side was like new kids on the
block You know, so we were in two different worlds.
She was not playing Barbies with me So I just
I was always across the street or my friend's
house. She was my built -in sister, you know,
yeah but Yeah, I mean, they fight. It's nothing's
ever fair enough or, you know, it's just always
a competition with the two of them. And my little
one doesn't realize that his brother's two years
older than him. So, I mean, yeah, sometimes he
can stay up later or he can talk on the phone
with his little friends, you know, like, you
can't always do exactly what your brother's doing
all the time. Yes, we have that, too. Definitely.
Definitely. They want to be like their older
sibling. And, yeah, it's the same. Like, you're
five and she's eight. And there's a difference.
When she was five, she didn't get to do that.
But, yeah. My little one wants to wear whatever
her sister's wearing. Oh, she's wearing black
pants? I want to wear black pants. Well, what's
she wearing to the party? My older daughter's
like, I don't want her to look like me anymore.
I don't want... You know, it was one thing. Like,
I could dress them the same for holidays or different
things. They thought it was cool. And now, hmm,
we're getting out of that for sure. Yeah, she's
finding her own identity. And I was the little
sister, so I get that. Yeah, totally. Yeah, I
wanted to be everything my sister was. Mm -hmm.
Yeah, that's common, though. Yeah. You know,
like, to want to be, like, your older sibling.
But the jealousy, we definitely have that. You
spend more time with her, you're snuggling with
her more. You know, we try to do, like... games
or Uno cards or something like that before bed
to give them a little time because we have activities
and whatnot after school just to give them a
little time and sometimes separately like my
husband will do something with one and I'll do
something with another and then we switch or
yeah that's especially if they don't want to
do the same thing which is totally fine we don't
have to do the same game or something you know
but um yeah I think it's it's important because
then I'm like well nope see you both got 30 minutes
or 20 minutes each, you know, before bed. And
it's a lot of that for sure. We started last
year kind of, I mean, we haven't done it in a
while, which we probably should, is I would take
one son out for breakfast, and my husband would
take the other one out to a different restaurant,
you know, and we just get like one -on -one time.
Yeah. And that's really what they're fighting
for is just that undivided attention. Right.
And once they get it, their love cup is filled
and everyone's happy. you can move on with the
day. I gotta get back into that. It's a good
reminder to myself. That's a really good idea.
What else do you have it good with? I mean, body
odor. Do you have body odor yet? I mean, you
do, but. I got it. Not really. I would say no,
but I mean, she just turned eight, so I'm sure
it's coming. Like we don't, you know, really
have stinky feet or anything like that. Yeah,
either. I got stinky feet. I got stinky feet.
Not me. It's the boys. The boys have stinky feet.
Yeah. I mean, it's funny. Like my oldest one
just started getting body odor. And it's coming
for sure. Yeah. I bought him deodorant and like
trying to teach him all the things about it.
And so like my husband, when he sweats, he smells
like metal. It's weird. He like has this metallic
body odor. And my little one, the littlest guy,
he gets the same kind of smell when he sweats,
like metal. I inherited my dad's body odor. Lucky
me. What is that? We call it Randy Zandi. It's...
At least that's what Steve calls it. Yeah. And
like my dad lost his sense of smell. So he has
no idea the gift that he gives world with this
body odor. And I was lucky enough to inherit
that. And now my oldest son smells like me. So
I have passed down that family curse of this
body odor that's just like, whoa. I mean, I...
I take care of it. I mean, anyone has ever. I
was like, I've never smelt you. Yeah, I don't
think anyone has been lucky enough, except for
my husband. And he will call me out real quick.
Thank God. Like, I don't think I could date anyone
ever, if anything were to happen. Like, I would
just be single forever. Because the other thing
that I've, you know, I inherited my dad's smell.
And I mean, I would just be killing it as a guy.
You know, why? Because I feel like I if I didn't
take care of like my leg hairs or he'd be hairy.
I wouldn't be tall, dark and handsome. I'd be
small, dark and handsome. But I would be like
a stallion. And that's what my oldest son is.
He's going to be a knockout. He's going to be
a knockout. But he's going to have some real
good all natural deodorant. Yeah, I mean, I Yeah.
Yeah. But you know, you can't win them all, right?
I take care of it. You would never know. No.
Thank God we don't live in the cave ages because
I would probably be confused for a man. It is
what it is. But maybe that's why I was supposed
to be a boy mom. You know, I don't know. Yeah,
there you go. You understand his body odor. Yeah.
And I'm going to help him through this time in
his life. What a good mom. What a good mom. I
got to change his sheet. So I'm sitting in his
room right now and I'm like, what is that? Well,
it's going to be 10 this year. So he's ahead
of his time. Yeah. So this is funny because this
has turned into like girl mom versus boy mom.
Yeah. I'm finding like. We're just off like a
little bit. It's not too crazy. Yeah, so far
it's like 50 -50. I mean, you get to play with
Barbies and all those. I have Legos and action
figures. Same with movies. Like, you get all
the good stuff. I do get some fun movies. Yeah,
you get the Little Mermaid and like Beauty and
the Beast and I get Venom and Avengers and you
know, it's like... I really have to talk myself
into being interested in these movies. You know,
if I have any common ground with my boys, I got
to really like Venom. Like, it's... My husband
is like you, right? Like, he doesn't want to
play dolls or watch... Yeah, that's true. So,
like, a guy's perspective would be totally different
than a mom's. Absolutely. Like, yeah. Like, Steve's
like, oh, yeah, this is great. Yeah, we win.
Three to one. We're watching Avengers. Yeah,
I'm definitely outnumbered and outvoted over
here where you got your tribe over there. Yeah,
it's definitely, I mean, obviously the things
they like right now are different from your boys.
Like my kids, they want all things girly. They
want lip gloss and to have their hair done and
pretty pink things and everything's glitter and
rainbows. Oh yeah, I left your house the other
day and I look like I left the strip club. He's
covered in glitter. That is so true. I was like,
just don't sit there. Let me dust that off. There's
a little bit of glitter from the slime. How is
it getting ready in the morning? Do you have
to put in a lot of time and effort, like getting
their hair done and like? It depends. You'd think
that my kids, because they do like all that stuff,
they would want their hair done in something
cool, especially because I can do it. Like I
could do any kind of braid, any, you know, whatever,
whatever they wanted. And a lot of times, like,
can I just have a low ponytail? I'm like, ew.
Why? I mean, I love a good low ponytail too,
but probably because I wear my hair up like that
so much that they're like, oh, that's just what
you do. But yeah, it depends. Honestly, a lot
of times it's the clothing and some nights we'll
pick out clothes beforehand, mainly for my older
daughter because she leaves first. But that tends
to be our problem in the morning is more like
clothes. Well, that sounds girl, you know, because
like, oh, this doesn't match this or I want to
wear these shoes, but I can't because I have
gym or, you know. So I already see what middle
school and high school will look like for sure.
And they wear each other's stuff. Like my little
one, obviously her sister's stuff is a little
bit big, but she can get away with some of the
things, you know. Today, she tried to put on
her pant, my older daughter's pants. And I was
like, oh, honey, you can't. They're far too long.
You cannot do that. And sometimes it would be
a fight, you know, and she didn't. Okay. So that
was good. We had a really good morning. So, the
mornings are, yeah. But the other day my older
daughter was trying to wear a little bit of,
she got some makeup for her birthday from a friend
and she was trying to put some on for school.
And I'm like, okay, that's enough. You're eight,
that's for play or like your dance competitions.
This is, you don't wear it to second grade. It's
hilarious, and it was picture day, right? It
was picture day, and I think that's why. And
she was telling me she didn't have it on, but
she did. She looked like she got punched in her
right cheek with blush. So I was like, please
send a message to the teacher that we didn't
slap her before we sent her on the bus. Can you
clip me off one of those pictures? I'd love to
see it. It was great. How are they with hygiene?
Are they good with like showers, brushing teeth?
All the things, changing underwear. Yeah, they're
totally good with the underwear thing. We do
baths every night. I'm a little crazy about that.
So I feel like they're hygiene that they're so
used to it. And they should be used to brushing
their teeth, but that's our biggest fight. And
I'm pretty raw about it. I'm like, you are going
to lose all your teeth and we're going to have
to put in wooden teeth. So that's going to be
really hard and not a good conversation starter.
Not a good look either. Not a good look. You
know, my little one is a little bit better right
now, but maybe that will change. But, you know,
it's always like, did you brush your teeth yet?
Did you brush your teeth? Go upstairs, go brush
your teeth. It's... We've tried, like, doing
the toothbrushes on our first floor off the kitchen
so they can brush their teeth down there. Maybe
that's better, but... I know, you try all the
things. Oh, my God. Lately, I've been playing
their favorite songs while they're in the shower,
so it's, like, fun, and... That's a good idea.
Yeah, and just they have, like, a moment to themselves,
you know? Yeah. So we've been listening to a
lot of Elton John. I love it. Are they good about
taking baths and all that? We haven't done a
bath in a very long time, but they're good. Showers,
they're good. We have a problem with like, we'll
get home from school and say we're not showering
that day. And I'm just like, all right, go up
and change. For some reason, they're really connected
to their socks and their underwear. They don't
change. And I'm like, I'm doing a body check,
like you're, show me your underwear. I want new
underwear, you know? I want fresh shoes on. Yeah,
please. And with all the farts, like, no, you
need a new pair of underwear. Yeah. But they're
always like, potty, potty talk, I feel. Yeah.
You know, like, any, anything. It could just
be like, it sounds like fart, and they start
giggling. Rhymes with. Rhymes with, yes. And
it's hysterical. And... I mean, it is funny,
even just like the girl who farted in yoga. Like,
that's funny. I giggled. You can help it. I don't
know how she recovered from that. I don't think
I'd ever show my face again. I'd be devastated
and be like, well, crap. Now I have to find a
whole new yoga situation. I'll be practicing
at home now. Yeah, the poor thing. Oh, yikes.
But I mean, I only fart once a year, so I don't
know what that's like. It's really difficult
when you only do it that one time. Yeah, no.
No, no, no. How about, like, can your girls just
go from the door to the car? Yeah. Yes, definitely.
Yes, they can. But getting them to the door is
my problem. It's like selective hearing. And
I'll ask them. Our big problem, I feel like,
is just getting their shoes on. Like, I'll ask
four or five times. It's the same thing getting
them, you know, dressed or pajamas like it's
time you have this amount of time left can you
please get your whatever on and they're like
mom why are you yelling i'm like because i've
asked you four or five times no you didn't you
just asked us like it what no gentle parenting
works for like gentle kids and i'm gentle for
like the fourth time asking and then i turn into
tyrannosaurus rex like it's same bad I have like
a voice that I do, and my husband's like, that
voice is terrible. Like, I hate that voice. I
try to make it really mean and like, aggressive.
Like, this means now. You know, but... It's funny,
like, your kids are this, like, they're like
your pride and joy, but then they turn you into
something you don't even recognize. There's no
one in this world who can get me angrier than...
my two little boys. Yeah. Yeah, I know. Maybe
it's because you made them and they're a part
of you and you're just like, why are you hurting
me? Why don't you listen? No, but to the door,
to the car, totally fine. Usually bickering on
our way there, but my problem would be getting
them to the door. I can get them to the door
after I use my mom voice. And for some reason,
it could be the simplest task. and they have
to find the hardest route to get there. They're
climbing, they're jumping, they're doing this,
they're swinging, they're twirling, they're jumping
from this wall to that wall to this. It's like
an... It's like parkour. Yeah, that's exactly
it. Anywhere we go in life is a parkour course.
The grocery store, the... Anywhere. On our way
to church, like, it's like, I'm like, get it
together, you know? And I'm like, we are not
jumping around in church. Yeah, it's like, what
the? Why? Why? I don't know. Just walk. Right.
Can we just walk like a human being, please?
They just had to get their wigglies out. Oh,
they got so many wigglies. Lots of wigglies,
yeah. Their endless pit of wiggles. Yeah. But
it's cute. Yeah, of course. In one day. Now talking
about it, it's cute, but in the moment, it's
like, I know. I want to die. I'm so mad at you.
I know. The one thing that drives me absolutely
insane, which I don't think will ever be cute,
is like the weird, like they're just, everything's
a joke. Like a constant jiggle? Yeah, constant
joking around, constant like, oh, mom's mad.
Let's see, like, you know, it's just, it never
ends. And I'm like. Steve, I swear to God, and
he's like, it's just a guy, it's a guy thing.
Like, you just joke around, da -da -da -da, and
I'm like, I can't listen to the snickers. And
it's just like, oh my God, if they're not grumpy
old men, they're Beavis and Butthead. It's like,
it's one thing or another, you know? They play
their character well. They, yeah. I mean, they're
either bickering over things that neither one
of them really know the truth of. You know, like
two senile men in a nursing home, or they're
in cahoots and they're trying to drive their
mama mad. Yeah, I feel like that's the same.
I say to them sometimes, I wish I could film
you so you can see that you're upset over...
I don't know, I can't even think of anything
right now, but like... Yeah, because it's just
so stupid. It's so silly. And you would laugh,
you would giggle at what you're hearing yourself
say, you know? Someday I will. Film them I have
to because it's it would make me laugh too. Maybe
and make it lighter for me at the moment It doesn't
feel like I know at the moment. I have to like
count to a hundred before I sound so similar
though We're doing like it's the same thing.
I feel like there's not much Boy mom verse girl
mom here as much as I thought they would be yeah,
not not as much I thought we would be on totally
different planes, but I think one one where I
would actually be thankful that I have boys is
lice. I have not experienced lice in this house,
but I imagine that if we did, I mean, I could
easily shave their head where you have a full
-time job that you have to deal with. Yeah, and
we have. We just had lice and it was horrible.
The girls had it and it was not fun. Not fun
at all. And of course, Even if you cut their
hair shorter, like it's still on the scalp, you
know, and it's crazy in my whole career I have
never seen it in almost 20 years on anybody's
child or a client or anything like that It's
not been in the salon. But so my first experience
to physically see it on my daughter's hair was
shocking Just shocking but um Yeah, that's not
really the most fun. It's definitely tens, you
know in some more research it definitely tends
to happen to girls because their hair's long.
Oh, yeah. It's long. They're, like, more snuggly.
Like, you know, they're rushing it. They're,
you know, they might share an elastic or a headband
or a hat or, you know, winter, the earmuffs or
whatever. And, yeah, touch someone's head. You
know what? Dance. It runs rampant, like, through
dance studios, gymnastics. Yeah. Girlie. I'll
take boys any day over lice. Oh, my God. Yeah,
that one's a tough one. But it happens to a lot
of people. I know. It happened to me when I was
a little girl. Yeah. I definitely got it from
some sleepover. Well, yeah, right. Sleepovers,
yeah, yeah. Both. Yeah. Disgusting. Yeah, I know.
So, yeah, you would just shave their heads and
give them two months. Oh, absolutely. I'd be
like, no, we're playing military today. Yeah.
And we are. Line up. Yeah. Or shaving my head
off. Yep. Who's going first? Yeah. Oh, I know.
So, I mean, after discussing our mutual habitats,
we pretty much, I mean, mine's a little stinkier,
maybe a little stickier, and definitely a little
bit more aggressive. Yeah, right. Mine's a little
calmer, cleaner. Well, you got the glitter. Yeah.
They like to craft, so we definitely have some
sticky areas. But it's really not that different.
No. I think kids are kids. And I think... you
know, we're just trying our best to figure it
out every single day. Because it's, as soon as
you think you have something down, it's like,
okay, we're onto this stage, you know? Absolutely.
I remember someone telling me that one of our
good friends, just like, after you've mastered
that phase, it's a new phase. So don't like,
don't get comfy, because you're going to be learning
something else. Yeah, don't, don't get too comfy.
with your calmness and your cleanliness. I know.
Because those stinky feet are going to come.
They're coming. Oh, I'm sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
For sure. We wear deodorant just in case, kind
of, at this point. But sometimes she's a little
stinky. You know, it happens. We're getting there.
Hopefully she doesn't inherit her dad's BO. You
know? If you need someone to talk to, I'm always
here to help. He's not really stinky, so she'll
be lucky. Hopefully she does, honestly. So, okay,
with that being said, let's leave you with a
quote about parenting. Okay? It is unknown. I
do not know who wrote this, but it says, being
a parent can be tough, but just remember that
in your child's eyes, nobody does it better than
you. I love that. Right? Because some days it's
hard, but they love you no matter what. Yeah.
And you them, obviously. And I think you are...
definitely meant to be your kid's parent, regardless
if it's, you know, if you're a boy mom, girl
mom, or you have one of each, or you have three
of each. However, those children were meant to
be in your life for a reason. Agreed. That's
all for today. I hope you guys survive this week
with your kids or just life in general. And as
always, keep it good.
