Hello, mommies. I'm Emily. And I'm Ellie. And this is Mama Needs a Minute. I know I always say this, but Ellie looks so cute pregnant. My shirt's on backwards. She looks like a little kid. I don't know why you look like a little kid. I look younger pregnant. Yeah. Oh, it's age, it's aging me backwards. Yeah. Wonderful. Yeah. Um, I've had the worst pregnancy brain. My shirt's on backwards. And it's been on backwards all day. Yeah. That is a real thing. Pregnancy brain. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, for sure. Yeah. I have it majorly. They say it's like your the hormones, right? Like I maybe your brain just shrinks a little, right? Because the baby's like eating it. You know the baby eats the calcium from your teeth, and that's why your teeth fall out when you're pregnant. It's like just a spooky story they told us. That happens. That's why whose teeth fall out when they're pregnant. Pregnant women. No, that's never happened. Yes. Babies eat the calcium. They like steal all your calcium and then your teeth fall out. Ellie. This is a nighttime, bedtime story. Are you joking? No, Google it. No, I don't have to. I know this is not thing. Maybe it's like it happened to like two people. Do well, I don't know. Okay. But do babies steal your calcium? They steal everything, but that doesn't mean your teeth born from your teeth. This is crazy. You know that. What if your baby's born with teeth? It says, no. Yeah.
unknownNo.
SPEAKER_00That's all. Babies do not steal calcium from your teeth. Yeah, that was the strangest thing. Ellie, what if you're I guess that was just a scary story. Maybe my mom was like, don't get pregnant in high school. Your teeth will fall out. And I was like, oh fuck. I'm on Medicaid. I don't know if they replace them. Okay, but why are you still telling people this? You know, this is kind of like every fact check. My grandma, I wanted to whistle so bad when I was like six, and she told me that the crust on bread will help you whistle. What? So you'd eat your crust on your bread? Yeah. And I sure did. Wow. I was like 14 before. I was like, wait a minute. Was she just shitting me on that? I am a good whistler though. 14. Yeah. You're like, something about this is sus. Yeah. Yeah. But how smart was that of her? That is so smart. Yeah. Um, speaking of crust? No, what did you just say? I see I already forget. I'm horrible. What did you just say? Oh, whistling. That reminds me of Peppa pig, which brings me to my next topic. What? Which is the pig from Sing. I have never seen have you seen Sing? Yeah, of course. Okay. This is such a mom conversation, but I just feel it needs to be said because we had a movie night last weekend with the kids and we watched Sing. They've never seen it. I've never seen it. No, he's seen it. My husband. I don't know how, because we've all never seen it, but he's seen it. And the kids are like dozing off. They're like totally not caring about this movie. Oh, my kids love it. They just like we're not into it at all. Oh. Here's me. Like, oh my God. The the pig is so mommy pig, I don't know her name, so relatable. I'm like, Noe. I almost want to cry because I'm pregnant. So I'm like, Noe. This mom just wants to sing her little piggy heart out. And she can't because she's got a cook dinner for all 25 piglets. And Daddy Pig, she's like, look, I'm a singer and I'm gonna be on the show. And Daddy Pig's like, couldn't give a rat's ass. And I felt so bad for her. I felt bad for days. And I didn't actually watch the ending because I fell asleep. Does the piggy win? I feel like I she deserved to win. Well, there was a time I I agree. Mommy Piggy and the Elephant. I mean, there's other things. Okay, but she's just shy. Yeah. This mom, she fucking inspector gadgeted up a whole scheme of shit so that she could leave her piglets. Yeah. I mean, she had fucking go-go arms coming out of the woodwork, making cereal. Yeah, that was crazy. Making dinner, telling goodnight. Yeah. Also she could sing. I was impressed. I was proud of her. No, she's good. The dad on Peppa Pig, though. I love when they all get together and fall over. Like they're laughing so hard, they just like fall over. That show is so silly. Yeah, but sometimes Peppa, we have like a running inside joke in our house. If the kids are being kind of bratty, if Julian's like, Mila, my swings was better than yours, my jump was better than yours, we'll be like, okay, calm down, Peppa. Because Peppa gets a little bratty that way. She's like, George, my bubble was bigger than your bubble. She does. She does it so much. That was really good. What's your favorite cartoon? Like, if your kids are watching it, that you're like, I'm gonna pay attention to. Well, I know what it's not, and that's Caillou. Oh my, here we go again. I don't know if people know Caillou. Okay, Caillou was a show in the 90s. Did you I no early 2000s? It had to have been. I was too old. And we're and we're so close, we're very close in age, but there's there must have been a lot that happened in those five years. I was watching a lot of Caillou, and this kid's a brat. Yeah. My God, I would never. And the way he treats Rosie, his little Sissy, Caillou was a show in the early 2000s, and it was about a bald-headed biage that threw timber tantrums. And anytime he didn't get his way, Rosie, that is not fair. I would never let my kids watch that. I would honestly, I would never let my kids watch that. They will learn horrible behaviors. I mean, it's ridiculous. He needs to go grow some hair. You know what was a really good show, though, that sometimes my kids to watch is Franklin. That little turtle. Oh, yeah, I never watched it. Hey, it's Franklin. No, it's cute. Yeah. I liked like Brother Bear, those like older shows. That was a movie. Are you talking about Little Bear? I don't know. He was a bear and he had a bear family. It was little bear. It was so chill and relaxed. Yeah, it was Little Bear. Little Bear. Yeah, no, that one was good. My favorite TV show that the kids watch now. I mean Bluey, obviously, but they don't really watch it a lot. Yeah. They don't watch a lot of TV shows. If they do, Julian's watching like Pokemon. They're mostly like movie kids. Okay. No, Caleb's in his Paw Patrol era. Yeah. Paw Patol, baby, mommy, Paw Patol. Be there on the double. Yeah, it's cute. Yeah, my favorite Paw Patrol is Rebel on the Double. Mine is two. Rebel on the fucking double. He's so cute. Yeah, he's cute. Oh my god. I do like Fancy Nancy. I'm not there yet. I'll watch Fancy Nancy. You are. Turn her on. Yeah. Your kids would watch her. You know what Mila likes right now? Is Clifford. Yeah, I like Clifford. Yeah. Yeah, the big red dog. Yeah. So guess what? We are the last people on planet Earth to do. And I'm it's you or me and you? Me. So I've done it. Yeah. Okay. My family. We started a shared calendar. On your phone? Yeah. We're the last people. Oh yeah. I have a Google calendar with millions. That's what I that's what we have. Yeah. I love it. Color-coded. Yes. Yes. It's so simple. Because you're a planner, a paper planner. Yes. You have a paper planner. I still have one. Yeah. But Marco was like, I don't know what we're doing ever. Yes. Because you have it in your planner. Yes, exactly. And you don't have like a calendar on the wall. No. So he was like, we should do a shared calendar. And I was like, by George, we shall. By golly, we should. And it's, I love it. Yeah, people ask me all the time when I pull up my calendar, like, what is that? And I'm like, it's literally Google Calendar. Yeah. And I just color code it and Noe is synced to it. Yeah. So he can see. Now he'll still wake up and be like, oh, we're doing that today. Yes, it's been on the calendar for months. But that's just like, boy. Yeah. But it's not, yeah, I love it. Yes, I love it. I have to keep it. My ADHD brain like loves the color coding. Yes. I'm like, I can't believe my type A self has not already discovered this. Yes. Like it's, I was just like, we're the last ones. Yes. I've seen those other ones that the influencers keep posting those like skylight calendars. My friend has one. Yeah. Yeah. But I feel like, what are we doing? I don't know exactly the pros and cons of it. She could probably tell me more, but I mean I get that that's. I think you can make like grocery lists and like chore charts and it's like accessible. How many screens do we need though? I I mean we can make a grocery list on our phone. Yeah. And I don't know the pros and cons of like that versus just having like one of those Alexas. Yeah. That has a screen because they have like your calendar and that can do like music. Yeah. And so I don't know the differences, like what makes it so great. I don't either. I'm not paying for it. So I don't really care. Moving on though, how was Wow, quickly moving through topics. How was Julian's first day? Oh my god. Of kindergarten. Well, it was horrible. Because not for him. He had the best day ever. Yay. I got noravirus. Yeah. Yeah. So I woke up like two in the morning. And it's so funny because I prepped. Obviously, we know this because I said it in like the last two episodes. I was so anxious about this day. Prepped for it for weeks. Like, down to like what side of the car should his car seat be on for drop-off and pickup. And I'm like texting everybody that's already had parent like kids in school, and I'm like so nervous. And then I wake up at 2 a.m. the day of kindergarten and I'm puking my guts out. And I puked all day. I couldn't even make it down the stairs. So my husband had to do everything. And he took so many pictures and did everything I wanted that I would have done. But I'm I still sobbed all day because I missed it. And it was so sad.
unknownThat is.
SPEAKER_00And you can't get that. I can't get that back. His first time going to kindergarten. Yeah. And I was fine by the next day. Because if you've ever had norovirus, it usually lasts like one day. And then you're like completely back to normal the next day. So I was fine to like do everything the next day. And then Mila started preschool this week. So I got to be there for like her first, but I missed all of it. I was so sad. That is sad. But he had the best day ever. And I love that for him. And I am still in my like sad era. I know everyone's like, eventually you'll love that he's gone. I know that I will, but like I still, I'm still in my sad era. I mean, it's only been a couple weeks now that he's been gone, but I'm still like, I wish he was home. Yeah. But I know eventually I'll get to that point where I'm like cherishing the solo time to be able to get things done. I will say, I do feel like since he started, I'm sad when he's gone, but I am able to get stuff done. And then I feel like the time I have with him is so much more intentional. Yeah. Because I'm not just like, I don't know, because I know I have this short window with him. So, and I've already gotten everything done for the day. Yes. So I have time to be like, okay, let I can sit down and play with you because everything's done. So I do like that aspect. Yeah. Now I have been feeling really guilty since he's gone back to kindergarten when I do stuff without him. Like we went out to lunch the other day. And it was just me, my husband, and Mila, and then like my sister-in-law came. And I was like, oh, I feel horrible. He's gonna know we went out to lunch. I kind of dealt with that too. Like at first in kindergarten, when if it was like Caleb didn't have preschool that day, and so me and him went to the zoo or something. Yes, I feel so I would feel so guilty. But then I also think that this is one-on-one time with him that it haven't gotten before. True. That you know, Nora and I had three years together before Caleb came. True. So now it's like she or he's gonna get one on one time now. Right. That the other one got this one. Yeah. I agree. I just feel like, oh God, he would love this. It's like when you go on vacation without your kids, you're like, I can't wait to be on vacation without my kids. And then you get there and you're like, oh, they would love this. That's how I feel now. And I thought he would come home and be one of those, like, school's fine. Yep, it was good. I don't know. I don't remember. No, he like, he's like a loose canon. Like you never know when he's gonna drop like a random tidbit of information. Obviously, like when we get in the car, he gives me like I had pizza for lunch or whatever. But then it'll be like, you know, 5:30 and we're playing, and he'll be like, and you know what, mom, in our class today, we did this. Like he just like blurts out little as he like as he remembers them. Cute. Which is so fun. Cause I get to hear little tidbits about his day. Yeah. So he loves it. And I love that he loves it. And Mila loved preschool. Oh my god. It's just like it's hard. That change is hard. Yeah. Maybe like if I because they've never done anything like, I didn't do daycare. Yeah. I just did preschool for a few years, a few days a week. This is the first time they're like out of my house. Yeah. So that's like a hard change. Yeah. And it was so funny. I was already telling you guys this earlier, but it's first day of school. I woke up puking, obviously. So I like woke up Noe at like 6:30. This was like 30 minutes before they were gonna get up for school. And Julian had come into our bed that night. So he's already in our bed. And I woke up Noah like a toddler standing at the foot of the bed when they throw up. I woke him up and I was like, I'm throwing up and I need you to stay home and I'm gonna miss everything. And it's his kindergarten. And I'm like sobbing. And Julian wakes up and I'm like trying to not be sobbing because he just woke up and it's his first day of kindergarten, but I'm obviously crying so hard. And I'm like, it's okay, baby. Mommy's so excited. Your first day. I'm just puking a little bit, but I'd be okay. Yay! Kindergarten. I'm like crying. And he's probably like, what the fuck is going to happen? He's like, I can't wait to get out of here. It was people are not. So it was like a scene from a movie. It was so funny. Which brings us into our top show. Did you have anything else you needed to say? Nora also went to school. Oh, yes. Well, who cares? Okay, great. Moving on. Anyway, no. I know she had the best first day. She did. Because I text Emily and said, I'm so sad about kindergarten. And she said, What? Nora just skipped into class. I said, okay. Well, I'm sad. Did I really respond like that? Shut up, Ellie. They're fine. Yeah. No, they really are fine. I know. Yeah, they're fine. And she has friends in her class and she's just having the best time ever. Yeah. First grade is so easy, so much easier. Really? Than second than kindergarten yet? Like on the parent or the kid? Everyone. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because they're like, you got your friends, you know where you're going, bye. Yeah, yeah. You know the whole routine. Yeah. Um, no, she was so excited. And they know like the teachers now. They know how to get to their class. They know it all. Of course they do. Yeah, yeah. Seven. Yeah. Yeah. Some. No, it's good. Yay! Well, this week we're doing first day school blunders. The blunderius. So we're gonna read your guys' first day school mishaps, your embarrassing first day of school stories. Okay, so go ahead and share yours. What's your most embarrassing first day of school? Okay. Mine's about me, obviously, because like I said, my kids just went to school. Yeah. I don't really have anything embarrassing for them yet. Mine was this is the only one I can remember like the first day of school. I have so many embarrassing school stories, obviously. But this was specifically the first day of school. For me, it was like freshman, maybe sophomore year. And we lit had a really small school. So at on the first day of school, we would all go down to the, what's it called, where you have like the plays. Auditorium. The auditorium. We would go down to the auditorium and we would all sit there while like everyone, the principal like gave his like back to school. He was on his high horse, giving his back to school shenanigans. So he was up there doing his thing. Again, I was like 15 or 16. He was up there giving his speech. And I was in the back with my friends. And I don't know what you know what happens. Like it happens in church, it happens at funerals, the most inopportune times when you like start getting the giggles with somebody and then you just can't stop. And it doesn't like you're literally at the worst possible moment to be doing this, but you're like, you can't stop. That happened. I don't know what we were laughing about. Obviously, though, my laugh carries. So while everyone in the row is freaking laughing their asses off, I I was the only one singled out. And yes, I have a loud laugh, but no, he called you out. So I'm scared. How big was your school? We graduated with like 70 kids, and it was like probably the whole high school. So less than 500 kids in the auditorium. Okay. Still like the whole high school is in the auditorium right now. And we're snickering. And he says, Ellie, do you wanna do you wanna come up here? And I was like, no, thank you. And he was like, Yeah, no. Can you come up here? And I had to do the fucking walk of shame into the front of the auditorium where he was giving his spiel, where he then asked me, and for the whole high school, what was so funny? Yeah. Yeah. I wonder if my friends remember this. I'll have to see if they mention it. I don't, it was just one of those, like we just started giggling and couldn't stop. So what did you say? I said, I don't remember. I probably was like, nothing, sir. Please get me out of this situation. And he was like, then he like dismissed me back to my seat after literally calling me out in front of everyone. Wait, why did he know your name like that? Were you naughty? No, we were just a small school. Everyone knew everyone. He knew all the people. Oh. And I was like involved with a lot of stuff. So he just like knew. I hate me. Me too. It was very embarrassing. Yeah. Now my outfit was on point. It was fresh. It was crisp. Okay, well, that's good. Haircut, fresh, crisp. Yeah. I mean, if it wasn't so embarrassing, I'd be like, hey everyone. Yeah. Okay. Actually, can I use that mic? Yeah. Give me the mic. I'll tell you what was fucking funny. That's mine. Wow. It was horrible. So mine, I think I was in second grade, and we went to this pool party the day before school. And it was absolute chaos at this party. It was like kids, things were different then. Like people were not watching kids at a pool. Wait, how old were you? I was in second grade. Second, okay. And so my parents were both teachers, so they were at the teacher workday. And some somebody's mom took me and my sister and my friend to this pool party and just was like, I'll be back at four. It was absolute chaos. This house was super nice. The pool was really nice, but there were probably like a hundred kids there. It was madness. Okay. And my mom was like, make sure that you guys put on sunscreen for each other if you're going to this pool party. And we were like, Got it. No. Yeah. And we didn't put on any sunscreen. And I was a tomato. Is this from that one time? This is from another time. This is probably why I had melanoma. Yeah. Yeah. We didn't wear any sunscreen. My mom is so mad. And you were crispy. And frag chicken. Beat red. We are so red. Oh my gosh. If I And you were blondies too. If you were my kid, I would be so pissed. Like we were just like, I I don't even know. I think we were just like embarrassed to put on sunscreen. Because nobody else does it. Yeah. Yeah. I would be pissed. I need to see a picture. Was it? It was probably faded by like school picture time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was just first day of school pictures haunting you forever. We should find when we like reference stuff like this, we should find like pictures from then. Yeah, please find that. Okay, well. I'd love to see it. Okay, text me later. I'll find the picture of me crispy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My fresh hairdo, my fresh cut getting reprimanded in front of the auditorium. Yeah, that'll be good. Okay. I didn't really have like a lot of embarrassing moments in elementary school. Not on the first day. Mainly like high school. Yeah, not on the first day. Although I do remember on pajama day because I was in my slippers, I slipped in the cafeteria while I was clearing my train. I dumped my food everywhere. Elementary? Yeah. Oh my god. I know. Did they call you something funny? No. Like, I don't know. Trey face? No. No. Okay, so they weren't that mean. No, no, no, no, no. When I was in first grade, I was like scared to go to the nurse's office because people love the nurse. I know. I was scared. I was scared to go see the nurse. I don't know why. I was a shy child, I guess. And we were all watching a movie in the classroom, in like one classroom. So the whole first grade was like in, you know, we were watching the movie on the little, they'd roll in the cart with the TV. And we're watching it. And I was like, I have to puke. But I was like scared because I didn't want to like no go to the nurse. So I like asked to go to the bathroom, puked the entire way to the bathroom, just on the floor. Just vomited the whole way to the bathroom. Was it carpet? Yes. Puked in the bathroom. Puked on the way back. I mean, I probably had puke all over my sweater. And then I just went back in and just sat down and just kept watching the movie. And the t-shirt came and tapped me on the shoulder and pulled me out. And she was like, She was like, honey, was this you? The puke? Did you puke? And I was like, Yeah. She was like, Oh my God, why didn't you tell anybody? So she sends me home. Wait, it's giving me what? I yes. Just an independent queen. I was like, I can't be a bother to anyone. I'm just fine. It's not giving queen vibes. It's giving like, are you okay?
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_00It's giving you like yeah. Social anxiety. Handled it myself. You fucking left it there. It was like, oh, that puke on the ground. No, never heard of her. I don't know what that came from. As it's like all over my Bobby Jack shirt. And so I went home. My mom gave me this big, like long lecture, not lecture, but was just like, if you're sick, you need to go tell the nurse. Like it's okay. So then naturally, like next week, like every day that week, I was like, I have a tickle in my throat. I'm gonna go see the nurse. And I kept wanting to get sick. Sit home. And then my parents had to be like, okay, you need to chill. You're not sick now. You just stubbed your toe. You need to go check on the medicine. Yeah, I will never forget that. I just went back and sat down. You're like, by the next week, you were like, actually, I I'm sensing the nurse might not feel good. So I'm gonna go check on this. I need to go check on this. I'm like, Sally. Sally, how you doing today? And why is it that we get to call the nurse? Like every other adult in the office or in the school is Mr. Mrs. or Mr. Last name. The nurse is always the first name. Rude. It's weird, isn't it? Yeah. Hmm. We need to start making our patients calls Mr. and Mrs. Can you imagine? No. That would feel weird because like also a lot of my patients are older than me, and then they're gonna be like, now what are you gonna call your teacher's kid? Your teacher's kid, your kid's teacher. Well, I call her her last name. Yeah. Mrs. Blah blah blah. Yeah, that's what I do too. Yeah. Well, do are people around her being like, Yeah, Heather? Yes. What? I know. Like when they talk to them or like when they're referencing them. Both. Oh God, that feels dirty. I know. Actually, plus I'm usually talking about them in front of my kids. So I just I don't know. You know what's so funny about this conversation is my best friend from high school, one of my best friends from high school, her parents were teachers. Her dad was like our history teacher, and her mom was our guidance counselor. And I still to this day, as a grown ass adult, 30 years of age, when I see her, I call her Mrs. and then I like say her last name. And she tells me every time, Ellie, you are 30 years old. Like call me by my first name. And I'm like, I just cannot do that. And I won't. Exactly how people are with my parents. That's just dirty. That's a dirty word. Yeah. Your first name. I mean, I won't be doing it. Yeah. And I'll probably like do that until we're all old. No, I know. I feel like it's just more respectful. I know. I'm like, I can't. Mm-mm. Yeah, I agree. Yeah. Okay, let's read other people's. Okay. I am a speech therapist. Because we had a preschool embedded into our elementary school. My daughter and son both attended with me. We got a new principal who was all business the year my daughter was in preschool. One day she wasn't feeling well. So I took off to take care of her, but I still had to drop my son off. We let the dog ride in the car since we were going back home. I parked and went to take my son across the bus lane, and the dog jumped out of the car. The dog ran through the buses and into the school. Have you ever seen 350 children see a dog at once? Have you ever heard it? I had to chase after the dog in biker shorts, a sleep shirt, and flip-flops through the halls of my school building in front of my principal with 350 children who were very happy, but not making it at all easier. The walk of shame while I carried the dog back out to the car in front of my new boss is something I still feel burning into the sides of my head. Oh my gosh. I wonder if she had a bra on. That is exactly what I was thinking because it reminded me of this viral video I just saw a couple months ago where this mom was talking about how she was in the car pickup line and her she was trying to get her toddler out while holding like her other toddler. And she so she had one toddler on her hip and the other one she was trying to pull out of the car seat. And the one that was on her hip got his foot stuck in her pants and pushed down, and she wasn't wearing any underwear. So her full Vahucci was out. And then to combat it, because the kid was like falling, he grabbed her tank top and so she just flashed a bunch of elementary schoolers. Yeah, she was like, I can't go back. Yeah, that sucks. That's what that reminded me of. Because that's the good thing about kindergarten drop-off. Like preschool drop-off, I have to go in. Yeah, no. The kindergarten drop-off, I'm in my jam jams. Yeah. So I probably wouldn't have a bra running after that doggy. Yeah. And she probably didn't either. That was my first thought. Yeah. Was she wearing a bra? She said sleep shirt. I don't sleep in my bra. Oh my gosh. What kind of dog, I wonder? Like, was it a weenie dog? Or was it like a big boy? Big boy. Just running through the whole. And you know that dog was like a menace. You know he was like, Come and get me. Yeah. Come and get me, mom. Oh my gosh. I hate when they do that.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_00Can't get me down. My gosh. Okay. My own personal story. It was my first day of kindergarten. Oh no. And I missed my mom. So I went to the bathroom that was in the classroom and I locked myself inside and cried. Then some other kids started knocking on the door to use the bathroom, so I didn't get that much alone time to cry, and I had to wipe the tears off fast and walk out like nothing happened. I didn't get that much alone time to cry. You know what? I feel that. I mean, like, I don't cry usually, but like I am picturing my son doing that, and I feel miser- I knew that. I knew what I was reading next to the video. I feel miserable for this. Isn't it cute that kindergarten has their own bathroom though? Probably said so. Wait, Julian says in his classroom. Yeah. Oh, that's usually how it's. I know so. Oh, okay. I was like, No, we and I were both like, this is innovative. Yeah. Like, this is the future. Well, because like otherwise, yeah. They're too little to walk there. And yeah, yeah. No, no, no, no, no. I hate that my heart breaks for this little girl. That was sad. I hate when stuff like that happens. Like Julian's teacher just messaged us to tell us to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the classroom. And Noah was like saying, telling Julian that he was gonna put a jacket in his backpack. And Julian was like, yeah, because I've been cold. What? What do you mean? Okay. What do you mean you were cold? That's it. You're not gonna I'm an empath. So I just, yeah, yeah. I feel it. I feel other people's stuff too hard. Mom, I was just a little chilly. Yeah. And you're like sobbing. I'm like, were you getting hypothermia? Okay. My kindergartner missed getting off at our bus stop. We're the first stop. So I was worried, and he had to ride until the end of the line when the bus driver could drop him back off. I felt bad for him, but he was enjoying the ride. The second day went much better. Okay, that was my bestie. So I'll elaborate on that story because it was so funny. She up prepped her son all day. Like, you're the first stop. So you're gonna ride the bus for like one minute and everything will be great and you'll have like a great time. And then she's like waiting at the bus stop for him, and the door opens and closes, and the bus drives off, and her kid doesn't get out, and she's like, What the hell? I was like, Good thing she's chill. Do you think he was like, Well, she was like, I have an air tag on him, so like I know he's on the bus, but like why didn't he get off? I said, Do you think he was like just like doop-doo? Well, that kind of looks like my house. Oh wow. Like, I can't imagine. He's just riding this bus around until I love this. They're finally like, What? Who are you? Yeah, where do you belong? Yeah. And they couldn't get a hold of the bus driver because he's driving the butt. Bus drivers are doing the absolute most. Oh, for sure. Yeah, like they deserve a race. Yeah. Anyways, that's so funny. I mean, poor kid. But you didn't finish the story of why. Oh, why did he? He said that he couldn't get out. Like there was another little kid in his way. And I think that's hilarious because I can just picture, you know, kids are so shy at that age, they will literally not say excuse me for anything. Yeah. And so he was probably just standing there, and then he was like, Well, I guess I'm on here for life now. I live here. I live on this bus now because this guy came down my way. That is so sadly funny. I thought we'd get it right in that somebody started their period on the first day and they were wearing khakis. Oh my God. I was thinking of that and I didn't have that. I started like in the summer. Yeah. So I was like well seasoned on pads. Yeah. Oh my. Yeah. What are we doing next week? What did what did I say we were doing next week? Hmm. I don't know. Your shirt's on backwards, so I doubt you know. Yeah. You can tell. What a mess. No, we'll figure it out. I forget. We'll be here. Yeah. All right. Those were some funny blenders. Right in for next week for whatever it is. For whatever it is. Have a great weekend. Okay. See you in a minute.
