Precepting And Skipping The Class

SPEAKER_02 0:20

And action. Hey guys, welcome to Momish. I'm Gabby. I'm Katie.

SPEAKER_00 0:25

And I'm Taylor.

SPEAKER_02 0:26

And this is our weekly yap session.

SPEAKER_00 0:29

Yep, yep. Welcome, bitch.

SPEAKER_02 0:31

Welcome. We were just talking about Katie canceling her preceptor charge class.

SPEAKER_03 0:36

Yeah, because I don't want to fucking do it. It's like one of those things when you're gonna make a bad decision, you're like, I should, right? Like I should have extra support. I just needed y'all to convince me that I was on the right trap mentally, and that is that I don't want to go. And I'm not a good, I'm not like I'm not a rule follower, but I am not the nurse that you want to be teaching your new people. No, 100%. I'm precepting right now and I'm like, all right. I think how you're supposed to do it is like this. This is what you're how you're supposed to do it, but if you want to see how I do it, watch me. Watch me. You know what I mean? Yeah, don't put it on the case. I can't. I can't. I don't know. Mary, my sister and Layla, like anytime I have a question about a policy, I have to call them because I'm like, I don't people will be like, oh, ask me. And I'm like, I have no idea. I just do it this way. And then they're like, Well, you should not be doing it like this. And I'm like, okay. Thanks for your input.

SPEAKER_02 1:28

Well work night shift. But the policies are like five thousand pages long. Who has time to read all of this?

SPEAKER_03 1:34

Apparently Meredith and Layla do. I good for them? Yeah. Better for them.

Unpacking Procrastination And Mental Clutter

SPEAKER_03 1:40

Guys, I went to Mexico, what, two weeks ago? I just unpacked my suitcase about 30 minutes before you got here.

SPEAKER_00 1:46

Wow.

SPEAKER_03 1:47

And I'm like I felt accomplished about it, but I'm really like, ah, a little too off.

SPEAKER_02 1:52

Do you usually wait?

SPEAKER_03 1:53

Or do you are you the type of people that I have to do it like pretty and like unless I well maybe you went right back to work. So that's I can see why I had to think that long. So, but if I have a couple days off, I have to do it then, or it's not gonna get done. It's just like staring at me.

SPEAKER_02 2:07

Yeah, I usually don't do it until Adam yells at me. Because he's the type of person, as soon as we get home, he unpacks everything. Really? When we've moved places, he's like, We have to unpack tomorrow. I'm like, bro, we have like years to settle in. He's like, nope. We have to unpack everything.

SPEAKER_03 2:24

I'm like years. Yeah, you don't have to unpack every box as soon as you move into that house.

SPEAKER_02 2:28

He does. Wow. They're unpacked.

SPEAKER_03 2:30

You're like, Gabby, where's your plate? She's like, it's in that box of them.

SPEAKER_02 2:33

Like, you've been here for three years.

SPEAKER_03 2:35

I would live out of boxes. Like you're still living out of boxes. I mean, yeah. That's I am definitely, I don't like clutter, so I like to have my shit unpacked and I have to know where things are because I have ADD. If you didn't know that, if it's if I can't see it, it doesn't exist. So I will forget things are in my house at all for years.

SPEAKER_02 2:58

My boxes are labeled, but they're stacked. Well, I'm a type A minus person. I like A minus. Yeah, well, my blood type is A positive, but I didn't I'm not an A positive person.

SPEAKER_01 3:12

My blood type is A positive, but I'm an A minus.

SPEAKER_02 3:14

I think like B plus on the life side.

SPEAKER_03 3:17

I'm a B negative person. Going down. Yeah, maybe I'm definitely B negative. I just this type C person.

SPEAKER_02 3:23

Like, you know, when people are like, I'm type A, and I'm like, I am to like an extent.

SPEAKER_03 3:27

For like a day, and then I diagnosed that where they labeled that one type C, where you have type A tendencies, but then you're more type B, so they were like, okay, I'm a type C. I want to be a B though.

SPEAKER_02 3:37

I don't want to be a C.

SPEAKER_03 3:38

Yeah, I don't want to be a C. Yeah. I think I'm not sure. Well, type B is like you were just like, you never have your shit together. So I was gonna say, like, Dylan, and then you said that. Sorry, Dylan. You're always forgetting, like, well, today, like I forgot a jacket for Noah. And then on the way here, I was like, shit, I didn't bring any snacks or drink for Noah. You didn't forget a jacket. You just thought it was warmer than it was.

SPEAKER_01 3:58

Yeah. Which I didn't I remembered the jacket, but I took it off because I was like, meh.

SPEAKER_03 4:02

Yeah, we don't need that. It was supposed to be warm. I didn't have the intention. I just didn't follow through. It wasn't supposed to rain either. So we try.

Mansplaining Stories That Hit A Nerve

SPEAKER_03 4:11

So I wanted to talk about mansplaining. Oh yes, please. Yeah. Dylan, he's so bad at mansplaining. He recently mansplained a caterpillar to me.

SPEAKER_00 4:24

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03 4:26

What about the caterpillar? Like, what do you mean? Why do you want to mansplain a caterpillar? But like, how do you get there? Well Charlie's learning about caterpillars, butterflies, whatever that whole life cycle in school. And I forget how he thought that I then needed to learn about caterpillars. So he went into the whole, you know, it's a caterpillar, then they like get wrapped up in a cocoon and it comes at. And I'm like, are you fucking kidding me? You're telling me this? I've passed the first grade.

SPEAKER_04 4:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 4:51

Like I was there. Wait. So I went to school. I graduated elementary school. Also, like, how did it get to like him explaining it to you?

SPEAKER_02 4:59

I don't remember. Maybe he was trying to relearn it himself and he needed to say it out loud.

SPEAKER_03 5:04

Just validation. He's like, right?

SPEAKER_01 5:05

He's like, he's checking.

SPEAKER_03 5:07

But just want to make sure I got that right on the same page. Oh. I love to call a guy out on the mansplaining, though. They're just like, it wasn't what no, that's why it's called mansplaining because you think women are so dumb that you have to like spell shit out for us when it's like not like that. I would like an honest reflection from a man of like, why do you do that? What is it?

SPEAKER_02 5:30

I think some of them have good intentions.

SPEAKER_01 5:32

I want to know what is it that makes you feel like you have to do that.

SPEAKER_02 5:36

But I don't want to be told how to cook when you I love you, Adam. When you don't.

unknown 5:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 5:42

Yeah. It's always like the things that I know how to do. He was trying to explain something the other day, and I just looked at him and he's like, sorry, I'll stop mansplaining. I've trained him now that he'll he catches himself. Yeah. It's the first step. I'm proud. I mean, obviously a woman is the one that created the word mansplain, because no man would ever be able to self-reflect to that degree. But I think, yeah, I don't think they do it on purpose. It's just, I I think that they're just men, just that's their their nature that they like, oh, we're smart and let me teach you about this. I want to know if they end up mansplaining to each other or and were just the only ones that like picked up on it and then had to obviously create a word for it. Yeah, I don't know. Because they probably don't notice it with they do it with each other.

SPEAKER_02 6:28

So they just keep going back and forth.

SPEAKER_03 6:30

So I was like, you know, like a caterpillar. And he's like, Oh yeah, the cocoon with the cocoon. Yeah. Turns into the butterfly. So excited about it.

SPEAKER_02 6:37

And then they start talking about the different types of butterflies.

SPEAKER_03 6:39

Like, thanks for clarifying that. The only butterfly I know is the monarch butterfly. Yeah, that's that's and then the really big ones. And then, like, I don't know what the basic butterflies are. But just for clarification, we all know how a butterfly gets here.

SPEAKER_02 6:51

Yeah. We've all read the hungry caterpillar. We all pillars on

Zoo Day Chaos And Accidental Tackle

SPEAKER_02 6:55

that note.

SPEAKER_03 6:55

We went to the zoo today. That's such a wholesome day. It was a good day until I fucking body checked Taylor's toddler. I did not mean to. That was like, I felt so bad about that. I still do. She was fine five minutes later, and I've been thinking about it since we left. Oh, she's fine. I know. But I was just like, oh my god. She fucking hit the ground so hard, and I just like looked down and I'm like, I am sorry, you tiny human.

SPEAKER_01 7:19

What age do they learn to put their arms out?

SPEAKER_02 7:21

Or to like tie and fall on their butt?

SPEAKER_01 7:23

I don't know, but she went down like a board.

SPEAKER_02 7:25

She said, No, and then I just and then I hit the pillow.

SPEAKER_03 7:30

Yeah, that shit was that was wild. Yeah, she's alright though. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 7:34

She had a great time after.

SPEAKER_03 7:36

She just needed pretzels. She did. And she's like, I'm all good.

SPEAKER_02 7:40

She was more upset that the pretzels fell. Like, I'm I'm good. I'm just I know.

SPEAKER_03 7:44

It was cute. I couldn't see her. I was holding Noah, and then I just turned around and boom. So sorry, Charlie. Please forgive me. Sorry to be like that sometimes. She's tough. Yeah. So oh, also at the zoo, a couple things. These were my top favorite moments. Gabby had a bird fly on her head.

SPEAKER_02 8:04

That was really funny. I was thank God I had a hat on because if a bird shat on me, I'd be out.

SPEAKER_03 8:09

Yeah, absolutely not. That shit was so we should come in. It was so fun. It is plenty. Everyone. I'm not afraid of them. I just don't fuck with them. Her two her two-year-old went in, though. We had to bring it up. I stayed with the babies. Yeah, she did stay with the babies. In my defense, the last time I was in that bird enclosure, my mom got attacked and has a scar. Does she? Yeah. She's probably got some bird flu.

SPEAKER_02 8:32

I I did start to like get anxious about like I was having a great time.

SPEAKER_03 8:36

I stayed in there the whole time. I was like, this is awesome.

SPEAKER_02 8:39

It's fun. But then I was like, oh, stop picking, stop thinking. You're not going to get some flow. Yeah, I had to force Gabby to force her to go seamorkling.

SPEAKER_01 8:45

But with the deep ocean. No, we did it in uh Key West.

SPEAKER_03 8:48

We snorkeled. We always snorkeling. Okay, that's right. Because we made her go in Key West, but she refused to go on her basketball.

SPEAKER_02 8:54

Yeah, because in Key West, we got out the water and this girl's like, there's a barracuda. It's like, oh, I'm sorry. Fucking vicious animals, you're happy about sea.

SPEAKER_03 9:04

They don't with you.

SPEAKER_02 9:05

No.

SPEAKER_03 9:06

There was a nurse shark, too. That's right. They don't.

SPEAKER_01 9:09

Yeah, are you telling me this now? Yeah, no years later. We looked at it, she was like, I was like, okay, I don't want to see animals when I'm swimming.

SPEAKER_03 9:17

Well, I want to be that's kind of the whole part of snorkeling is to see the sea life.

SPEAKER_02 9:22

I don't want to see them. I can see them at Petsmart. Um and the aquarium.

SPEAKER_03 9:28

On Google Zit die as soon as you bring them home.

SPEAKER_02 9:30

No, my favorite fish. He lived for a little bit.

SPEAKER_01 9:32

That was making me depressed.

SPEAKER_02 9:34

And then one time Noah came over and she was just in a little cup by themselves, like on a shelf. Well, they can't fight. They are fight. They will kill each other. So that's what they're still. They couldn't get bigger than a cup. Yeah. I don't know. Mine had a little fish bowl, but I just remember Noah came over and was like, Gabby, where is your fish? And I was like, he went to fish heaven. Let me teach you about the circle life. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 9:53

So let me mansplain oceans and fishes. Oh, and the last thing, you were already at the car by this point. So I took Noah to the bathroom. Oh, I remember you saying I was trying to be like, you know, just patient. And so there was like all these kids in there, and then there was this boy in the girl's bathroom, which is like funny. He was like a little kid, and he's washing his hands. So like Noah and I go into the bathroom, use the restroom, come out. He's still washing his hands. I'm like, did you fucking play with your shit? Like, why are you still washing your hands?

SPEAKER_02 10:23

So in the burning clothes.

SPEAKER_03 10:24

I know, no. So then actually, yes. So then I realized there's no fucking soap in any of the other there's two other sinks, but that was the sink with the like step stool for the kids. So I'm sitting there patiently waiting, and he's just washing his hands still. And his mom finally, they're clean and he wouldn't, he still wouldn't stop. Poor kid has anxiety of it. I think he might, yeah, he may be like, he didn't seem like he was, you know, his answer. I was like, bruh, fucking no. I was so tempted to just be like, excuse me, like, or other people. And his mom finally was like, Oh, sorry. Like he'd done. Yeah. What about the kid at the park?

SPEAKER_02 10:59

The one that all his boxes were showing up.

SPEAKER_03 11:01

Wait, what?

SPEAKER_02 11:02

The girl in the green.

SPEAKER_03 11:04

Yeah. Yeah. His pants slid down under his ass when he was going down the slide. Too large for this slide.

SPEAKER_02 11:09

But the parent was like, pull up your shorts.

SPEAKER_03 11:12

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 11:13

In the background, I was like, um, we're not making fun of children. No, it's just funny. No, no.

SPEAKER_03 11:18

I want to preface it by saying Noah did come up and say this kid won't let us go down the slide. So he was a little punk. Automatically. Yeah. So I said, tones F off. And she was like, I don't want to. And I was like, well, I can't do it because I'm going to go to jail. You can do it. Like, I don't feel like punching a kid today.

Mama Bear Boundaries And Self Defense

SPEAKER_03 11:34

Have you had any like mama bear moments? Oh, hell yeah. I really haven't, but I've like mentally prepared for the day it happens.

SPEAKER_02 11:42

When we went to see the Stanley Cup at the Hurricanes game, I was holding Bowie and me, I was walking in front of Ryan and Adam, and this guy came and like touched my shoulder and pulled me. Like not harsh, but enough for me to be like, why are you touching me? I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_03 11:57

The fact that you're touching me at all is a problem.

SPEAKER_02 11:58

And I was like grasping onto Bowie, and he's was just trying to be nice and like ask me, I can't remember what he said. Ask questions about the cup. I think he's like with the cup and travels with it or something. But the approach to the city. Wait, what? Did he work there? I don't know. I'd have to ask Adam about it. It was just like, do not touch a random person, especially a person that's holding a baby. Because someone's about to I'll claw your eyes out. Wow. Someone's about to get killed.

SPEAKER_00 12:23

That sounds aggressive.

unknown 12:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 12:24

It was a little too it was it was wild. I don't like that. Don't touch me. And first of all, why are you touching a stranger?

SPEAKER_03 12:31

Yeah, no.

SPEAKER_01 12:31

Yeah, I haven't had any moments yet, but they're coming.

SPEAKER_03 12:34

I'm prepared. Yeah. I'm prepared for the day.

SPEAKER_02 12:36

Not like to have any more.

SPEAKER_03 12:38

Well, I feel like it's gonna come with school too. Starting school and just hearing all the stories. Well, yeah, like I've I don't know, maybe this is a hot take, how you guys feel about it. I have straight up told Noah, you never hit first, but if that hits you, you hit them back or you know, there's been a couple of incidents at school, and you know, Gil's like comes home and he's you know, so and so I guess push Noah. And it's like no way to like really address it after that. But you know, I'm just like, okay, Noah, like I said, did you shove him back? And she's like, Oh no, you have to defend yourself, like don't just take that shit. Right. And so hopefully at some point she'll Or let somebody know if nothing else. Yeah. Like don't just take that shit and let nobody know about it.

SPEAKER_02 13:21

We've already told Bowie this, even though he doesn't understand, but he's gotten scratched a couple times, and Adam and I are like, So did you scratch him back? Like and he just stares at us and we're like, Well, whoever, like you're gonna leave your nails off the next time.

SPEAKER_03 13:32

Yeah, like that's the thing is parents seem to cut their kids fingernails. Yeah, I do, especially if they go to daycare. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 13:38

And it says it, I mean, I read extra because I was anxious about sending our son to daycare. So I read a lot of like the brochure that they were scoring. Yeah, the horror stories, which I try not to even look at because that they're just crazy. But it says in the daycares like pamphlet, please keep your children's nails short. Because you don't babies are just gonna scratch each other and hit each other. They don't mean to. But yeah, I'm like, well, I have to keep his nails short every day that or the week starting daycare, because I don't want the letter coming to me saying like your son scratched another kid. Not intentionally, but I don't I don't want him to scratch it. Right if they're still nailing.

SPEAKER_03 14:15

The nails grow so fast though. It's oh my god. Every time I look at crew, I'm like, dude, I just cut these. This girl that I I used to work with told me the way I was like, oh, something about clipping my kids'

Kids Nails And The Gross Confession

SPEAKER_03 14:27

nails. And she was like, You clip your kids' their nails? What do you think? So you're the kid at daycare. No, she clips she trims them, but she chews them off herself.

SPEAKER_01 14:37

Oh no. I said there's shit under those nails. Wait, what? The fact that she openly shared that respectfully, that's disgusting. Respectfully keep that to yourself.

SPEAKER_03 14:47

Yeah, do not tell anyone else this. That is disgusting.

SPEAKER_01 14:51

So she say it as if, like, I know this is super weird.

SPEAKER_03 14:54

No, she said it like it was like she thought I was the weird one for using clippers, and she's like, I'm too scared to do that.

SPEAKER_01 14:59

But you're gonna bite his nail?

SPEAKER_03 15:01

Yeah, I was like, that's really great. Also, bad habit. Bad habit, I used to do it on my own. Yeah, so it's different when it's your own. Yeah, people be scratching their buttholes.

SPEAKER_02 15:12

Oh, he scratches his buttholes. I don't want to chew his nails off.

SPEAKER_03 15:16

What is your kid gonna think when they're like old enough, they're gonna like not even know that there's nail clippers? I don't really know, and respectfully, I don't want to know because uh we don't have a relationship anymore because that's gonna be chews her nails. That's gonna wear yeah, I think this interaction's gonna be over forever. Yep. I'm signing off on the show. You're not true for me. Yeah, uh yes. If you chew your kids' nails, I'm judging you. Probably don't. There's so many other things. There's so many other ways. There's clippers, there's little like the automatic filers. Yeah. Let's keep chewing your own kids' fingernails and like do you do it to their toes too? Like that's gross.

SPEAKER_02 15:52

Do you do it to your husband's toes too?

SPEAKER_01 15:53

Like you might as well do your whole family. I would have had to look at her nails. I yeah, I don't.

SPEAKER_03 15:58

It was a couple years ago, but I just remember being like, Am I a weird one for finding this so gross? No, no, I can confirm the answer is no. Yeah, so that was that's interesting. That's interesting. I'm not into judging, but I'm judging. Yeah, I don't, yeah, mom, every mom. No shame too much work. But that's a judgment, judgy one because I would just don't just don't. That's the moral of that story. Just don't put the navy clippers on the registry. Yeah, Isla's entered this phase.

Awkward Kid Stares And Small Talk

SPEAKER_03 16:27

You guys can probably relate, where she's just stares at people. So like if you're at a restaurant and she's like in the high chair, she just is turning around staring. And then you have to inevitably get into those like yeah things. I had that interaction last night. Uh, and it's so Gil had his back turned, and I crew was just like staring at this nice Indian family as they're as they're leaving. Not the whole family, yeah, and like so they're getting up to leave, and it's like the obviously the elder band of the group, and then it's like a dad, and they both stop for like in my opinion, what's too long. However, I was like, and Gil just looks at me and he goes, Why'd you just do a fake laugh? And I was like, What do you mean? And he was like, It's your fake laugh.

SPEAKER_02 17:14

In front of the family.

SPEAKER_03 17:15

Well, they had already gone by that point, and he was crew was staring at these nice people, and I just like, you know, instead of being a bitch, I have to smile at least. He was like, He's like, Well, I can tell you actually you really didn't want to because that was your fake laugh. And I'm like, Well, what else am I supposed to do? It's even worse when they stop and they're like, Oh my god, they didn't hold. And you're like, fuck. I mean, they linger. I'm trying to have a nice meal with my kids and my husband on Mother's Day.

SPEAKER_01 17:38

You know, like your baby's so cute.

SPEAKER_03 17:41

And she was like, You're like, Charlie, yeah. Taylor spent most of the day trying, we were trying to herd her. So she was Charlie, that's why she kept running away, and which, you know, she had a great time, but yeah. Why does she have to run everywhere though? I'm like, excited.

SPEAKER_02 18:05

Yeah, yeah. If I didn't have a kid, I'd be running. Always excited too.

Kids, that's so cool. And I was like, is she being serious or are they actually called kids? Or am I learning? No, they really aren't. I didn't know that. I didn't know that.

SPEAKER_03 19:59

See, this is why I give you guys these facts because I there's there's a lot of goats. I don't know. Wait, I did tell you all the facts about the giraffes, and neither one of you cared. Wait, which one?

SPEAKER_02 20:08

The head thing?

SPEAKER_03 20:09

You didn't really go into enough detail. You were like, it makes their blood process better. No, no. So I imagine you're a giraffe bending over like drinking water, and then you have to whip your head up.

SPEAKER_02 20:21

The blood rushes.

SPEAKER_03 20:22

The blood, they would pass out. And you can't pass out if you're a giraffe. I mean, but in the wild, be kind of uh dangerous. It's a far way down. That is a long time. Anyway, so they have a something in their brain that controls like how fast the blood will move when that happens. It's like a what are those things called? Hourglass. Yeah, honestly, that sounds about right. It was that nice man at the giraffe enclosure. He was there before. He knows a lot about giraffes. Oh well.

SPEAKER_02 20:45

I'd like to have that job when I'm gonna do it. It's not just patches and carrots to move to family.

SPEAKER_03 20:49

It's not some knowledge. Yeah, he was telling me about the kangaroos, and I was like, Yeah, I kind of heard kangaroos are kind of assholes. And he was like, Yeah, I don't want to fall into the giraffe enclosure. And I was like, or the kangaroo one, because like kangaroos will fight you. Are giraffes mean?

SPEAKER_02 21:03

He seems pretty nice.

SPEAKER_03 21:04

I mean, like it might be trample you and not be able to see you. They look fast. I feel like it would be kind of like a like what I did to Charlie today. I didn't see her and I ran her fucking over. So I always feel bad though for people that work at zoos, like that man. Like he just wants to tell people his facts. I that would be kids. And I appreciate it if my kid wasn't trying to run away. Yeah, I'd be all for it. Yeah, I was all about it. But I hate when people don't care and then you just start looking at this person that's passionate about whatever they're telling you.

SPEAKER_02 21:32

We gotta go to the next exhibition.

SPEAKER_03 21:33

I mean, obviously you work at a place like that because you're passionate about it. Because unfortunately, there's not a lot of financial backing when it comes to like zoos and stuff. I mean, being in the Ashboro Zoo. Oh, fun fact. Here we go. This is the only one I'm gonna say because my feelings are hurt. The Ashborough Zoo is the largest natural habitat zoo in the world. Not just this area.

SPEAKER_02 21:56

Snaps for that.

SPEAKER_03 21:57

In the world.

SPEAKER_02 21:58

So that's pretty funny. I didn't know that.

If We Quit Nursing Tomorrow

SPEAKER_02 22:00

I didn't know that. So speaking of jobs, if you didn't go into nursing, what job do you think you would go into? Probably rich. Very rich. Yep.

SPEAKER_03 22:09

I mean, like, I just want to be like born into wealth, you know? Rich, yeah. Well, I'll have two. My realistic one would probably, I would have gone into like veterinary medicine. Like that was see, I've always been like a healthcare person and I worked at a vet for a long time, but I would want to work with zoo animals, not dogs and cats, because that's just super fucking sad because that's what I did. And I was like, I gotta get out of this. That was my immediate thought. Yeah, it was super sad. And they always said, Oh, it gets easier. It did not for me, it got harder the longer I worked. I need to crying every day. I did I cried a lot. Is it bad that I feel worse for animals than people? No, that's why I went into nursing. Oh, because desensitized confirming that. Yeah. I mean, you get desensitized, but like with animals and kids, that's why I don't see how you work with children. Because it's like in the innocence, watching animals and kids have to go through pain and suffering just it's so much harder to me to look at. Yeah, that's why I don't work oncology or ICU anymore, because it just made me depressed. Yeah, I can see that. Um I can't with adults, I would just be a very angry person. Oh, yeah, all the time. Unrealistic one? I kind of also rich. Yeah. But rich from doing OnlyFans. Oh. I just want to do like, but like make it like super niche feet picks feet or like something like bizarre, but you know that there's a market for it. You know what I mean? Oh, there's a market for anything. I tried to sell I didn't try to sell my feet picks, but I thought about it real hard. I did. I made a whole ass account. Oh, yeah, you have to post like every day. I'm like, my toes are not in the state that I feel like I can post daily.

SPEAKER_02 23:38

I got stubby toes.

SPEAKER_03 23:39

You have cute toes. I have weird toes. Thank you. I have very long feet, but I feel like people might like to.

SPEAKER_02 23:45

Maybe we just start a there's a only fans for our toes together, and then like all three of them are like nurses to podcast. I actually love that to steal our account.

SPEAKER_03 24:01

Yeah, you better not we'll find you some patents right now. The paperwork. I probably like realistically would have gone into like business school or something and worked like some bougie corporate fancy job. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 24:18

I could see you with that with that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 24:20

I'll see you in like a pink sweat not sweatsuit jacket. Sweatsuit, like a Hillary Clinton. No, but like L Wood's vibe.

SPEAKER_03 24:27

Okay, all right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. See. Wednescomma L.

SPEAKER_02 24:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 24:30

Like some high heels.

SPEAKER_02 24:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 24:32

Yep. The blonde hair. Yeah. See, that's more the vibe I would have gone for. And worked with people. That's just not in healthcare. Actually, the farthest thing away from healthcare is possible. Well, I mean, I was an art major for like a hot sec. Ooh, I can see that. You should be you should be. You could be a tattoo artist. That was like on the on the docket when I was like a teenager, but they don't make they don't make that much money unless like you work a whole lot and you gotta work like crazy hours. I mean, I work crazy hours, so I guess that's true. So it's like that really is not that big of a deal. It's just you gotta work on the when people aren't working, which again I do as well, but still it's it's different. It's you gotta work a lot and you gotta deal with like people being stupid. You know, you know what's crazy though when you start as a tattoo artist, you're like, hey, you want to be my client and get permanent pictures drawn on when it's my first time to start when you start as an apprentice. I do know that much. You have to like, and I think you do a lot of work for free. Oh, yeah. But I'm saying, like the person that gets it is like you're gonna have this forever. It's probably gonna suck because it's my first one. I feel like you gotta have some talent though before you start doing there's a learning curve to it, but the art part is not the hard part, it's probably just learning how to use the little tattoo gun thing. Yeah, yeah, I would be bad at that. What about you, Gab?

SPEAKER_02 25:48

Honestly, I think I'd be a teacher. You yeah.

SPEAKER_03 25:50

What? I'm not good at I just I don't know. No, you'd be a great teacher, but I guess if you're not thinking if like what do you take if you take money out of it?

SPEAKER_02 25:58

Yeah, if I could take money out of it, I'd be like a first grade or kindergarten teacher and have fun paint with kids. Respect. Yeah. I would love that. Definite respect.

SPEAKER_03 26:06

Just like other than that, I'd be a trophy wife. Other than y'all's kids, I don't really like kids that much. I mean, I I like them to be like, oh, they're cute, and for a little bit, but to teach them every day like five days a week, five days a week, and having to like not can't for months cuss at them. You can't do any of the things.

SPEAKER_02 26:22

Yeah, that would be the hard part to learn to not.

SPEAKER_03 26:24

That's how I get through the day sometimes because I where I like say stuff under my breath. Yeah. But have you ever cursed in a patient's room? Because I have. I cuss at patients.

SPEAKER_02 26:32

Well, no, I mean like I don't. I work with children. Yeah, yeah. I've cussed at patients. I did like confused. He was like, shit. He was like, Are you okay? Is everything good? I was like, Oh, I forgot you're not intubated and sedated. I mean, like, it's not you, it's me.

SPEAKER_03 26:45

I farted in a patient's room once and he was awake and he goes, Something stinks. And I was like, Did you fart? And he's like, No, did you? And I was like, Yeah.

unknown 26:52

Or you didn't.

SPEAKER_03 26:54

Yeah, that was during COVID. So it was like in the You're like, I'm gonna leave now. Yeah. Like, I don't know what it is, but it ain't me. And he's like, It stinks in here. I was like, Yeah, it smells like shit. I don't know, I don't know where that came from. Crazy. Yeah, that's a wild gun's sister's a teacher, and she tells me some stories. Yeah, I can't, I can't.

SPEAKER_02 27:13

My aunt tells me some wild stories.

SPEAKER_03 27:15

Are you on are you all on the TikTok?

Daycare Judgment And Homeschool Anxiety

SPEAKER_03 27:18

The teachers will like be like the shit that my students said to me this week.

SPEAKER_02 27:22

No, I'm so funny.

SPEAKER_03 27:25

Some of them are wild, or like one guy, he's a gym teacher, I think, and he reads emails from his students' parents.

SPEAKER_01 27:30

Yeah, why are they emailing gym teachers? What that's sometimes that's why I like that's why it's funny.

SPEAKER_03 27:36

It's funny. These people are so excited. I've seen that one. It's always like sincerely concerned mom. Yeah. Just some of the shit that these people say. Then, like, you're that's why your kid's gonna get punched in the face or you're gonna get picked last for dodgeball because of you last for dodge ball. Yeah, like she's like, like, my uh I feel like your a pwn or whatever is too harsh. Like, can you please try to speak nicer too seriously? Just stuff like I mean, like, I wasn't aware that you were in my class. Right, it's just stupid shit like that. And you know what? You can homeschool. Yeah. If you've got a problem with it, you can homeschool. Like, unfortunately, with public school, you gotta like take a lot of Ugh. I can't imagine. I can't imagine. That's another more power to you. Yeah. Are you guys gonna do like homeschool or this topic brings me anxiety? Okay, yeah, me too. But oh no, it's okay, it's like not debilitating.

SPEAKER_02 28:26

It's an interesting like topic nowadays because like back when our parents were younger, like, you know, when we were kids, homeschooling was weird. Yeah, like it's so different.

SPEAKER_03 28:39

Well, they were also just like they had no social skills and but now there's like co-ops and stuff where now it's so much bigger. Yeah. Well, because everybody's like, you know, I guess depending on your opinion, but like there's like a lot of private agendas of like trying to like indoctrinate kids into whatever. I mean, if you're a conspiracy theorist, but yeah, so I think that a lot of it's becoming more popular because people are just like, I don't want my kids, you know, I don't want my kids learning anything that I don't want, which I don't think is a good way to look at it either. I think yeah, you should have some part of it, but like some of the stuff that I believe may not be what Noah believes when she so I want her to be able to differentiate and not think one way or the other because I believe because my mom said, and like, yeah, when you're a kid, you kind of are that way, but then when she becomes an adult, I want her to be able to think for herself.

SPEAKER_02 29:29

But yeah, yeah, I don't know. A lot because even with daycare too, like you'll see people post um comments on TikToks about daycare horror stories, and they're like, I would never send my child to daycare. And I'm like, Well, I don't have an option, right? Right. A lot of people don't. Right. So it like makes you feel like, Well, am I a shitty person because I have to send my child to daycare? And like in the future, am I gonna be a shitty mom because I would love to stay home and homeschool my kid, but one, I don't know if I'm gonna be good at that. Like, I'm it's a lot of pressure.

SPEAKER_01 29:57

You have to make sure that you are doing everything to prepare your kid for school. And I guess like, am I gonna do a disservice because I can't add fractions anymore? Right. Oh God.

SPEAKER_02 30:07

I think about that.

SPEAKER_03 30:08

Yeah, I feel like high school would be a different story because that's like a whole other ball game getting them ready for college, but right.

SPEAKER_02 30:14

So when is when do you start homeschooling if you're gonna do it? And then one's like, okay, we're done. Now we need to integrate you back, you know, into like into school. I don't know. Because I my cutoff is here.

SPEAKER_03 30:26

So the thing is, well, do you think that any of our husbands have thought anything about that?

SPEAKER_02 30:30

Yes. I've talked to Adam about it just because I brought it up because I know people that are actively homeschooling their kids, and I've like had the conversation.

SPEAKER_03 30:40

Well, more males just in general the mom guilt, and we're like you said, I feel am I a shitty parent because I have to put my kid in daycare. That dad's that's never crosses their mind. But I don't think they have the exposure that we do. Yeah, you know what I mean? Like other dads aren't like, wow, your kids in daycare, like what a piece of shit. That's true. I feel like moms are so judgy of each other that they don't experience that. That's true.

SPEAKER_02 31:02

They don't get to be.

SPEAKER_03 31:13

It's hard top off. If you get if you get to stay home, that's wonderful. If you get, if you, you know, go half a day, whatever. If you do you and be able, like if you want, like the thing is is that if you were a stay-at-home mom and you were with Bowie 24-7, you probably feel guilty about oh, he's gonna that. We're also like, oh, he's never gonna be able to see like someone a working mother, and like he's gonna think that I, you know, it's like there's always gonna be something to especially to ridicule, ridicule yourself with where moms are just like that. And I'm the same way. I feel so guilty going to work, but like, you know, and Gil is home with them, and he I know that they're harder when I'm gone because they miss me, but also like I want Noah to see like strong women have jobs, and I'm doing it because I am trying to provide for them and I do enjoy what I do most of the time. And crew he'll see it, he'll see it one day. I don't know. But yeah, I feel guilty. But I got I could not be a stay-at-home mom. Like today, I'd like being like going to the zoo and shit. I'm like, that's I'm good, like for a week at least. Like, I like not like with my kids, but just like the outings and stuff, like it's it's exhausting. Yeah. Like taking, you know, two kids by herself, like trying to pack everything, and I'm like, oh my god, I overslept. And so I was rushing around. I don't know. I've thought about that. If you ask me now, no, I couldn't be a stay-at-home mom. But if you ask me in five years when I have three kids that are in school, in sports, in all these things, I don't know. I mean, if I ever had the option to be a stay-at-home mom, I don't know if I would say no because I don't want to miss Christmas. I don't want to miss dance recitals, I don't want to miss games. Like, if I have that option at some point in my life, I might take it.

SPEAKER_02 32:53

I think I would take it too. I think my ideal thought is like, I hope in like the next two to three years I can at least work like maybe one day a week. Yeah. Like I want to still work, but I don't want to be committed to the three days. Yeah. Which is, I know people are like, it's not that many days a week, but it's but you're gone for 14 days. Yeah, it's more than 12 years. When you wake up and you prep and just thinking about the drive there, drive back to yeah, it's a lot of prep work, and by the time you get home and like you try and participate in bedtime, it's like you feel like you've seen them for five minutes. Right. Like you have.

SPEAKER_03 33:27

Yes, like they're already like about to go to bed when you get home.

SPEAKER_02 33:31

You've cared for other people when it's like I just want to care for my own people. Yeah. Yep.

SPEAKER_03 33:35

My dad used to my dad like for my whole life worked 12-hour shifts and because he's he's a restaurant therapist, and I remember he would wake up early, come to my softball games at like 4 30, and then go to work after that. And I'm like, bruh, now that I'm an adult, I think about I'm like, that sucks. You know, like having to lose sleep, but like he wanted to be there, like he didn't have to do that. But I just remember I was like, damn, that sucks. Cause like I ain't waking up until the last minute now. But you know, when I'm older, hopefully, or when my kids are older, I want to do that. My mom was a stay-at-home mom, and I feel like my childhood wouldn't have been the same had she worked, you know, because I had certain luxuries, like she was always super involved in everything I did. She drove me to everything, she didn't miss anything. Yeah, I always had a home cooked meal, always had my lunch pack. Like, and not to say if parents work that you don't have that, but I'm just saying, like looking back on my childhood, it probably would have looked a lot different. My dad also worked a lot, he traveled a lot when I was younger, so I yeah, I don't know. Thinking about it, my mom did nursing jobs, and somehow I still had packed lunches and she was at all my games. How did she do she got a good stuff? I gotta ask her because I don't know what how she did it. She used to like go to field trips, she was the head of PTA. Oh, how does she do that? That's what I'm saying. I don't know. Working as a nurse. How no, you can do it for sure. You can do it. You make it happen. Moms are amazing that way. She's a wizard. That's that's the only way I can. There's no way.

SPEAKER_02 35:04

Ask her and let us know her. Because now I'm I need to know what her secret is.

SPEAKER_03 35:08

Honestly, head of PTA is like on the bottom of the list for me as for as far as things I want to be involved in. I don't know why. You know, she was my Girl Scout leader.

SPEAKER_02 35:16

Yeah, that's a no for me. I can't.

SPEAKER_03 35:18

Yeah, that's well, those are actually like your friend, like it was my my mom's friend's kids. They were all hanging out and stuff when we were, so it's not like a bunch of like Girl Scout lame kids. Oh, y'all didn't were yet on that in Girl Scouts?

SPEAKER_02 35:29

Oh, I was yeah.

SPEAKER_03 35:30

We didn't, I don't know if we had that in the city, but no, was not. It's Girl Scouts of America. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 35:35

Well, New York City is New York City's in America.

SPEAKER_03 35:38

There's definitely Did y'all ever see that movie? The Girl Scout movie? No. No. Okay, I'm gonna stop asking you guys. I had to cut it out of the last answer. Probably no. Yeah. Because every time I ask you if you guys have seen a movie, you're like, No, I have, I just don't remember it.

SPEAKER_02 35:52

Specific scene that you're talking about.

SPEAKER_03 35:56

Or long term. Gil asked me that the other night. He's like, Would you rather have short-term memory loss or long term? And I was like, short term. And he's like, Really? Why? And I say, he's like, that'd be super annoying. I was like, for you, I wouldn't remember.

unknown 36:07

Right.

SPEAKER_03 36:07

Like, but at least I know like who you are. Yeah. Like I don't my kids. Yeah, I don't give a shit. Like, it'd be like 10 second Tom from Hi, I'm Tom.

Holidays On The Schedule And Calling Out

SPEAKER_03 36:16

I work two nights a week and I feel like that's been a good balance. Like I don't miss too much, but I have to work Christmas this year. So now I'm missing Isla's first Christmas. So it's kind of like one of those things where it's yeah, I only work two days, but I still have a job where I'm gonna miss. This is my first huge holiday job as like uh well, it's my first time as a staff nurse working a holiday because as a traveler, nobody wants to pay travelers. I mean, some people like don't have a choice, but wherever I I've been lucky that I haven't had to work Christmas since I've been a nurse. And yeah, because I have been a traveler majority of my time. And so I worked thanks I work Thanksgiving. So so typically people will like trade you and stuff. And so if I'm like, hey, I have kids, you don't. Can I switch with you? Usually people will, but I don't know, we'll see what's gonna happen this year. Because this is my first time like having to be on a certain track. You know, it used to be like when I was in my 20s, like, who cares? You know, yeah, you can work around it, you can see your family like day before, day after, whatever. Christmas now, it's the best part about it, the magic of Christmas is when you're my track though. Well, just to go even deeper into that, our track is that you have to wear Christmas Eve and Christmas. Oh, yeah. I mean, honestly, I'd rather I hate that, really. I'd rather just be like gone for the whole holiday and really just quit. I don't know, just kidding. You can't once you get like in trouble, just quit.

SPEAKER_00 37:36

In trouble.

SPEAKER_03 37:37

Just quit.

SPEAKER_00 37:38

I don't know. And I'll have to do that.

SPEAKER_03 37:40

It's like you'll your inner voice, like, fucking quit.

SPEAKER_00 37:42

Just quit.

SPEAKER_03 37:43

And then you're like, I'll show up still. I know. Every time I'm like, I'm gonna call out, and then like it's so annoying. If I already like made that, that was a conversation in my mind, call out, it's done. Really? There's no going back. I told you to call the last time I recorded when you were going to work then. Oh no, no, but that was already in my mind that I was going to work. Okay. You know what I mean? Yeah. Once you've already mentally prepared. Yeah. If I when I wake up, if I I have the mindset like I'm going to work or I'm calling out. Yeah. Does it matter? Oh, that's what I'm saying. Once I've decided one or the other, that's it.

SPEAKER_02 38:12

Yeah. For sure. If I have enough peer pressure, I call out. Like there's one time we were maybe it was your pool.

SPEAKER_03 38:17

Oh, yeah. Like, yeah. That was that was your cool. It was your pool.

SPEAKER_01 38:20

Like, call out.

SPEAKER_03 38:21

Yeah, call out.

SPEAKER_01 38:22

All right. Sure. Whose birthday was that? I think it was like a big thing. It was even a birthday. Even I think call out.

SPEAKER_02 38:27

I don't think it was a birthday thing.

SPEAKER_03 38:29

I don't know whose birthday or something, but we were like, I was the drunkest I've been in a long time. I remember I felt it always happens in my backport.

SPEAKER_02 38:36

That was a great day. I don't remember much. I called out like the last second.

SPEAKER_03 38:40

Sounds like you probably should have.

SPEAKER_02 38:41

It's probably a it's probably a good thing.

SPEAKER_03 38:43

Yeah, because you said drinking, and we were like, Well, you should drink. And you're like, I have to work. I'm like, call out. I'm really good to know that Gabby's easily pressured as well. Uh-huh. Not all things, but calling out. Yeah. Were you guys like victims to peer pressure? Because I was not. If I didn't want to do something, I nah. Like my brother, I feel like was the key just be like somebody was like, Oh, you want to do this? And he's like, I mean, okay. And I was just like, no, absolutely not. I'll hang out with you while you do it and laugh at you or whatever. Yeah. But I'm not doing it if I don't want to fucking do it. Nope, I'm a very stubborn person. So once my mind's once my mind's made up. Yeah. There's no convincing Taylor of doing something she doesn't want to do. Which I love that about her.

SPEAKER_02 39:26

You don't want to get a tattoo thus?

SPEAKER_03 39:27

No, I've already thought about getting a tattoo. Yeah, Taylor has no tattoo. I just don't know what I'd put on it. It takes me a long time to figure out what I want. Oh, I want so many different ones. That's why it's hard for me. And I have different ones and random ones.

SPEAKER_02 39:39

Yeah. The other day I asked Adam, I was like, Do you think it'd be fine if I took Bowie to a tattoo?

SPEAKER_03 39:44

He was like, Yeah, no. I don't think kids are under 18 are allowed without a parent or guardian present. But I am your guardian. He'll just go there. Yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 39:54

He'll just watch. He was like, you know, probably not a good idea.

SPEAKER_03 39:57

I was like, I mean, given knowing your kid who liked to move around a lot, it probably wouldn't be the same thing.

SPEAKER_01 40:02

Yeah, the bet the best place to be like move.

SPEAKER_03 40:05

Somebody's kids in the bathroom, fucking in the toilet. I'm like, he's fine.

SPEAKER_02 40:09

Well, their mom's getting a tattoo, so he's testing out the water for you guys.

SPEAKER_00 40:12

He's a mover.

Bath Schedules Shower Limits And Teeth Battles

SPEAKER_00 40:13

Any mom confessions? Mom confessions. Do you ever wonder how often you're supposed to bathe your child?

SPEAKER_03 40:21

I wonder, and I always wonder if I'm on that line of like we've gone too far. Okay, I feel like that's like the common answer. Okay. I had a friend ask me this this week and I was like, I'm glad that we're on the same page there. I don't, I'm not a bath every day. And like that's a lot of work. One of my friends told me that, well, like, even if you don't like wash them, like we do the bath every night because they know it's like a part of the routine. Like it's so much work, you're out a little bit late. Right. You gotta sorry, we gotta leave. Give a bath for water time.

SPEAKER_02 40:48

If not, like I it's not even a bath, you're just doing water play at that point.

SPEAKER_03 40:53

Right. It's like that's not happening in my house because that's extra effort. Yeah, it's a mess. The kids like to splash and shit. And I'm like, I don't fucking shit. I don't like to do all that every single night. Are you kidding me? And also have the life. I'm not trying to come home early so my kid gets a bath at an appropriate hour.

SPEAKER_02 41:09

Plus, it dries out their skin. Like Bowie has super sensitive skin and he got eggs. And the pediatrician was like, How often do you bathe him? And I'm like, like two to three times a week max. And she's like, That's perfect. Because you're just gonna dry I'm just drying the skin out more.

SPEAKER_03 41:24

I was gonna say, how dirty can a baby get?

SPEAKER_02 41:26

But they get pretty dirty.

SPEAKER_03 41:27

I mean, now that they're eating, they get pretty dirty. Like I gave Crew some like peanut butter and naan dippers.

SPEAKER_02 41:32

Oh, yeah. The non-dippers are clutch.

SPEAKER_03 41:34

Yeah, I was like, got that idea from you. Lowy, but um glowy.

SPEAKER_02 41:38

Bowie loves some non.

SPEAKER_03 41:40

Yeah. But he had peanut butter in his hair. And well, tonight might be a bath night. That's a bath night. Yeah. So like and sauce. She gets baths more often than Crew does because she goes to school and it's an outdoor preschool, so she gets disgusting. Well, she takes showers though. Yeah, Charlie will take showers. Easy. Yeah, she takes showers with me and with Gil, but Gil keeps asking, when is it weird to shower with your kids? Not like weird. No, I'm trying to think. Because as a man, you know, if you adopt it. No, no. So I think that's a fair question.

SPEAKER_02 42:08

I actually was wondering that too. Because when Bowie was younger and like obviously I was breastfeeding, so he knew what my boobs looked like. But to an extent, I was like, okay, are you staring a little like yes lunch? Starting to get weird for me. Look at this male. Yes. Baby. I know, but like at what I thought the same thing.

SPEAKER_03 42:25

Like, at what point is it like, okay, we need to Noah now like points things out on my body, which like that's humbling. Um Wow, mom, look at those stretch marks in there. Yeah, yeah. See what you did? Yeah. Like, those are you. She always is like, those are mommy's boobies. Like, and I'm like, Yep, those are my boobies. She's like, You have two. Like, thank God. So do you. Um, like one day you will have thank god. Yeah. Thank God. It's not they're still there. She just like points things out and she's like, What's that? This is what you did to me. That's this is my double chin. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, she's always saying wild shit like that. But yeah, Noah definitely bathes more than crew, but not the other day.

SPEAKER_01 42:59

I gave Ila a bath and I like trimmed her nails, gave her a bath lotion, did her hair. Spa day.

SPEAKER_03 43:05

But I was like, oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 43:06

It takes a while.

SPEAKER_03 43:07

This is satisfying though. It is you are the cleanest baby. I and then they shit right after that.

SPEAKER_02 43:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 43:12

I love to clean underneath their nails. Is that weird? I keep both their nails pretty short. I do too, but like somehow Crew always has I'm like, where where like you're not digging in the dirt. Why are you it's I think it's the fuzz from his like onesie, and I'm just always like digging it out. Some fuzz.

SPEAKER_00 43:29

I can see that. One of the satisfying things. Yeah. Do you guys floss your kid's teeth every night? Huh? No. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 43:34

He got two teeth. Well, I can't floss. Taylor has a kid with a full mouth. They're so far apart, I don't need the flossels. Yeah, I haven't yeah, I don't brush Cruz teeth even every day right now. But with Noah, I try to do it most nights. Oh my god. But I worked in dentistry. Yeah, you know. No, I get it. I'm just picturing the fight. The dentist did tell me I should do that. She's like, Do it in the bath. And I'm like, Oh, okay. So three times a week. So I was gonna say they don't get bads enough to do that. But Noah used to like fight me. And now when I when she's being a turd about it, I'm like, I'm gonna hold you down. Now it's a game. So if I hold her down, she loves it. But she's like, you have to hold me down tonight. I'm like, this is supposed to be a punishment. Why are you asking me to hold you down? She's so manipulative. Yeah, she's always like, hold me down. I'm like, Yeah. Charlie, we gotta like pin our arms under our legs, head in between our legs, just to brush her teeth every night. It's like I wouldn't do it. If we have people here when one of us is putting Charlie to bed and they hear her screaming upstairs, they're always like, When the fuck's going on upstairs, just brush her teeth? Just brushing her teeth. She's good. She's good. Why do kids make things so dramatic? That's one of those things. Like, I know we probably all were like that, but like, you know, I got bit by some fire ants the other day. And I get it, that shit hurts. And I, for the day, first day, the second day, but it's been like four days. And it's like, this is like her whole personality now. And like she's acting like she'll be fine all day. And then when she's like feeling like she wants a little bit of attention, my feet are hurting so bad. Are they really? And I like I hate that I'm just like thinking to myself, like, you are full of shit.

Band Aid Drama And Vaccine Attitude

SPEAKER_03 45:11

Band-aids. Have you had the interactions with band-aids yet? Apparently. Charlie likes band-aids, but she puts them on action in trees. Well, okay. You know what I mean? Yeah, Noah does too. She's now better, where like Noah was for a while, was just like wanted to wear a band-aid. I know. I remember one time I came to your house, she had like six band-aids. I'm like, damn, Noah would be a big one. No, yeah. No, she's fine, but no, she still is like a psycho about the band-aids where she got she fell at school and had like this big scrape. So it was a big boo-boo, but she was refusing to take them off. And they were like a week old. Okay, it's bath time. And she she refuses to get in the bath when she has band-aids on. So this was like the longest stretch that we'd gone without a bath because a week? Maybe not a whole week, but it was a while. Like it was like the band-aids were like colorful and they were like had a brown tinge to them at this point. She and I'm like, so Gil and I both had to hold her down. This was like two weeks ago. Pull the band-aids off. She's screaming bloody murder. And you know how like the band-aids have that like brown or like gray. Oh, the outline of the band-aids on there. Yep. Yeah. So then she wouldn't let me scrub that off. Just had like band-aid short. She needs to know where to put the new one. She, I wonder, I get nervous. I'm like, is she like old, doesn't it? She's a little old to be. Yeah. Like you would know by now. Okay. I used to like band-aids too as a kid. I mean, yeah, and I look asked. I think kids just have their things. Yeah. I asked Sasha about it and she was like, oh, that's not an uncommon thing. I'm like, okay, good. What the fuck is it with the band-aids, man?

SPEAKER_02 46:39

Like, she's like, she just wants to be in healthcare. Like band-aids.

SPEAKER_03 46:42

Kids just have their things. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 46:43

Future nurse, Noah.

SPEAKER_03 46:44

Charlie went to get vaccines one time and you know, they put like a fun little band-aid on. She didn't cry. She looked the nurse in the eye and then ripped the band-aid off and threw it on the ground. I was like, I was near tears, and I'm like, oh my god. I'm looking at this band-aid on me. You hurt me, bitch. Yeah. She's like, get this shit off me. Absolutely not. I'm not gonna take your pity band-aid fucking strawberry shortcake band aids. Let's go. Yeah. Rather suck. It's time to go. That's funny. Charlie is funny. Yeah, she's tough. Yeah, she's a tough little cookie. Gotta love her. Yeah. All right. Well, damn, it's only Monday. I usually work Monday nights, so I don't know why I keep thinking it's like not Monday. Yeah, I know. But it sucks. I really hate Monday. What is that? Garfield?

SPEAKER_02 47:30

Cat? I don't remember. I just remember him liking lasagna.

SPEAKER_03 47:33

That's all I remember. He hated Mondays too. He's a cat. Why does it matter? That's the funny part about it. He's like, cat. It doesn't matter what day of the week it is. It's like, why do you wait Mondays? You're a cat. But anyway.
