Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hey guys, and welcome back to another week of casual chaos.
This episode is holiday edition, but with my sisters Gabrielle
and Milania. Welcome to casual Chaos. Hi guys, I almost
killed them before this though. Yeah, they were supposed to
be here at four.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
It's six, so five.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
All right, Well we made it some minor inconveniences, okay.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
So today's episode is all about holiday family. I want
us to talk to you guys about some of the
holiday traditions that we had growing up as kids. So
what are some things that you guys remember.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Some holiday traditions that I remember.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
Hmmm, I would say, like cooking with like Nana.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Nana, Yeah, sach cookies, preparing all the seafood for Christmas Eve.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
Those are really big things.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
Oh well, we always do cooking in the house, so
that's why I don't think it's like a tradition.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
But no, that's totally a tradition.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
I mean in our family, we cook the seven fishes
and I mean now that and I was it's so
funny because I was actually talking to Nana about this
yesterday when I was over her house, and it's a
lot on her now because she does it all and
obviously she does it the best out of everybody, and

(01:30):
it's a lot on her because it's just her now.
But when she had Nana and Nona and obviously non
No Franco, they would all do it together. So we
went from obviously my sisters and I. We were blessed
to have met all four of my grandparents, but over
the years three of them have passed, so my mom's
parents have passed away and my dad's father, so now

(01:52):
we only.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Have my Nana left.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
And she is absolutely amazing, incredible, like does everything and more,
but she is the one that still holds the value
and shows us how much to appreciate all of the traditions. Yeah,
but when I went over, she was cooking all the
cookies and she was like, she was like, deep, it

(02:16):
probably takes her like weeks and a lot of das
already started so so many days because it's just her.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
So she was like.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Cleaning out all the seafood and doing everything, and I
was like, Nona, like you need to give yourself a break,
Like it's actually it makes me nervous because she handles
all of it on her own.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
I know, I do have to say, growing up with grandparents,
especially no no on no nos. Being Italian, I would
say it's definitely like the biggest blessing. I like loved
growing up with grandparents, like sadly lost them way too soon.
But I know some people who didn't even have grandparents
growing up, and I was so lucky to even have

(02:54):
like the best grandparents. So I love my grandparents so much.
And my Nana, who's still with us, is the best.
And cooking is her love language. That's what she loves
to do, and when we do it, she thinks we're
doing it wrong, so we just try to learn from
what she's doing because her way is perfection.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
She finally did say to me though, yesterday she was like,
you and Metanda seriously need to start learning.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
And I was like, please pick a day.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
I will say stand pressure though, I was like, I
will stand here all day.

Speaker 5 (03:24):
It's definitely like a learning curve. But I feel like
if I was old enough when Nana and Nana we're
here on Mom's side, like I would have loved to
learn from them, just because we grew up like every
day coming home from school eating their meals, like we
were spoiled because I didn't go one day where there
wasn't like a fresh, home cooked meal, and I mean

(03:45):
I definitely love that.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah, I mean I had to say, I've never been
to somebody's house and the food is as good as
our family's cooking.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Now, Like nothing compares, Like, oh, our.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Family cooking is so good, Like all of it is
just so good. Nana's cooking, Nanos cooking, both of myns,
both of myns, my mom's cooking, my dad's cooking.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
I'm surrounded by.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yeah, everyone, We're surrounded by good cooks, honestly, so very black.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
The bar is set very high for us to maintain
these expectations exactly, but cooking a little bit, yeah, like
we gotta we have to very basic, we have to be.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah, people come over, Tonner.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
What traditions do you think we are still going to
maintain as we grow and have our families.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
I definitely want to learn how to cook.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
And I think the seven fishes are never going to
go Awayeah.

Speaker 5 (04:44):
Christmas Eve is definitely my favorite holiday because I love seafood. Yeah,
I would say Sunday dinners though that's like more of
like a manageable like weekly. There's four sisters, we have
two brothers, like we can like alternate with houses, and
I feel like Sunday dinner is super important. No, I
exactly to see each other because like we're gonna be
able to like busy different schedules having your own families
one day.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
So that's just one way to always keep in contact
with each other.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
I agree, definitely Sunday dinners, yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
And then I would say I definitely want to implement
new traditions as well into it, Like I think I
would want more games or just something that we hold
with our kids. Yeah, because we've really never played games
growing up on holidays.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
No, but even like funny games, like we never really
did that during the holidays streets. Yeah, just like.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
Anything Cuzzy Mario always does.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
I mean she tries and then we just fade out. Yeah,
Like I don't know, we never stick to it.

Speaker 5 (05:45):
No being competitive, like all like doing it together. I
feel like when it's collective, like yeah we're special.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
Yeah, that would be funny.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
And then I feel like Christmas Eve always everyone dresses
nice and Christmas Day pajamas Yeah, I love that.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, I agree, like nothing fancy on Christmas.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
Day definitely the way to go.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
So let's talk a little bit about on what we're
doing this holiday season. I know we're not going to
see Dad, so that's a little different for us because
we usually go and see Dad for New Year's.

Speaker 5 (06:16):
Yeah, no, I'm really sad. I wish I had the
time too. I just don't because I'm only home for
like two weeks.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
I know Gabriella is studying.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah, Gabriella is studying abroad in Barcelona.

Speaker 4 (06:26):
You're so excited, so yeah, no, I'm really looking forward
to it.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
I'm looking to book a trip.

Speaker 5 (06:32):
So it just was unfortunate because I'm literally home, I think,
for fourteen days and then I leave already.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Again, You're going to have the best time in the world.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
So yeah, once in a lifetime experience.

Speaker 4 (06:44):
For sure.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
I want to go abroad to figure it all out,
but I'll take you my tips from what I'm done
with my program. It's going to be so exciting. I know,
I can't believe you're going to be home for such
a short amount of time.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
I know your break is so much longer compared to mine. Yeah,
I do have a lot. You're here for like a
month and a half.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
I don't go back to school until January twentieth, so
I'm home for like about five weeks.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
Yeah, which is a long time.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Yeah that's so good.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
But yeah, so Gabriella is gonna do the semester in Barcelona.
Definitely need to go visit her. But I would say
for the most part, Mom has taken the brunt of
hosting basically every holiday for the past couple years.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
Yeah, we've hosted every single day.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Yeah, we host every holiday.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
But speaking of when we were younger, her main holiday
was always Christmas Eve. So Christmas Eve has always been
a big thing in our family, and this year it
is a little different. My uncle is hosting Christmas Eve
this year, so we are all going there.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Which is nice though, because I even since a mom.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
I was like, this is going to give you a
break for the holidays. Yeah, like for the past since
we've met Louis, And it was kind of just how
it happened. I don't think it was intentional, but we
you know, had.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
The biggest house. We always had.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Everyone over, and so Mom just hosted every holiday. But
I said to her for Christmas Eve this year, I
was like, it's kind of nice. You get a break,
Like you don't have to like go crazy and be
cooking all day, So I'm excited for her to have
this little break and then we will be having christ.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
That's how much hosting was until Like I like watched
mom like go to the store and like get everything
and then like come back and like.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
Do you go to the store.

Speaker 5 (08:24):
They go to the store like eight times. It's like
in the span of two days, now got something.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Literally, And how much money it is to host too,
Like it's a lot, That's.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
What I'm saying. How much money it is to host, Like.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
It's a lot, because like when we were younger, we
used to have people over all the time.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Oh yeah, that was just like how our house was.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
Especially my dad he was like he loved company.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
He loved it, and Mom was like I'm over it.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Yeah know, like my after my mom married Louis, she
was like, seriously, no company, Like my ex always had company.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
I want no company, and it's just it's how.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
You are company.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Oh yeah, no company.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Over because it's just I think it's just how you are,
like the Italian tradition. Even dad like and has people
over his house all the time.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
Yeah, but hosting is definitely a lot. I mean even
the cleanup afterwards.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Oh yeah, the cleanup is crazy to set up the cleanup.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah, you don't do anything.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
You don't help. Well, I love you, but you don't.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
Well because I know that I have You're a machine.
You're gonna sit there at the sink for like an
hour and do it.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
I have you that doesn't even make it, doesn't even
make it.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
I help, I do help, But everyone is doing what
they need to do. So what I'm gonna plant, I'm
gonna like be in your way.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
No, you can put the dishes away or do something something.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
Somebody's already doing that. Like, somebody already is doing that,
whether it's like she's fine, whether it's like little Louise
putting the dishes away, she's doing this.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
So everybody does something besides you.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
Everyone already took a job I have.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
I have no job to do in the kitchen of chore.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
So what am I gonna do?

Speaker 2 (10:16):
We're moving on. Help is always.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
But there's not a limit to it. You guys at it.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
I would say, you know, the holiday seasons are a
little complicated for Gabrielle and I because we do have boyfriends.
You and Andreana typically go to make two stops, but
we are like all around God's just.

Speaker 5 (10:42):
Say Thanksgiving is a lot Christmas Eve. We don't move
like I wouldn't like Christmas Eve if I.

Speaker 4 (10:47):
Stay home the whole. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (10:48):
Usually I don't go to Dad's house for that like
Dad's side, I don't boyfriend's house.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
I only do it for Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Christmas Eve, I would say, is the most stay put for.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
All of us.

Speaker 4 (11:01):
But thanks time of.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Cut it out. But Thanksgiving is horrible.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
Yeah, I don't like. I don't have a boyfriend.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
So if anybody wants to date me, I'm just kidding.
I don't want a boyfriend. Okay, it's not I don't
have one. I don't want one. Let's get that right.

Speaker 4 (11:30):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
Anyways, Gia, continue on with your questions before she's telling me, Actually,
a lot of people want to be my boyfriend.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
By the way, I'm sure if you said on.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
Your podcast, guys come to this address if you want
to be Milania's boyfriend and you have people like down
the street.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
I think you're right.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, but yeah, no, so it's definitely a little bit
of a run around. I would say Thanksgiving is the
most stressful holiday because I make basically three stops. So
do you Yeah, Christmas Eve I make two. I have
to stop by Christians first and then end by Us

(12:19):
and then Christmas Days too as well, So the stops
are a little much coming from Yues.

Speaker 5 (12:26):
It's convenient that we live like the neighbor in town
over from our aunts, so it's convenient, like at least
we're not like thirty forty minutes away.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
I mean yeah, but with Christians it's so convenient.

Speaker 4 (12:36):
I'm like literally going in a circle if you will.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
No, yeah, you are. It's a little easier for you minutes.
I agree. So whose house do you think is going
to be like the house when we're older that everyone's
going to be.

Speaker 4 (12:55):
A fine mine mine?

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Guys, you just said that hostings a lot. It's a
lot of money.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Don't you don't clean?

Speaker 4 (13:06):
No, I don't say I don't clean our holidays, but
you'll clean out your own house?

Speaker 3 (13:13):
No?

Speaker 4 (13:13):
Yeah, guys, guys, come on, I mean you could take
you could take it.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah, sure, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
You're not saying the hosting house you said it.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Has no the like the hosting house like, who's going
to have us over for Sunday dinners?

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Who's going to host holidays?

Speaker 4 (13:31):
Yeah? Yeah, it's probably gonna be me, Well, it depends
like where.

Speaker 5 (13:37):
I just like, don't you guys like ideally gonna end
up probably living.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Wise, probably Burgen County.

Speaker 4 (13:43):
Okay, Yeah, have you thought about it? I don't know. Yeah.
I like Burton County.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
I love Bergen County. I would say.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
Burton County like meaning, are you going to stay where
we've grown up?

Speaker 4 (13:54):
Or are you gonna move?

Speaker 1 (13:55):
No, I'm leaving Mambo. I don't know, I'm going to
Bergen County.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
Okay, we get it.

Speaker 5 (14:02):
I would say it just more centralized location wise, It's
just easier.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
It's so beautiful, yeah, like White Off is so nice.

Speaker 4 (14:10):
Wow. Yeah. Yeah, Well I hope we all live near
each other.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
I think we will say.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
I think all of us want to be in New
Jersey long term.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Do you want to be in New Jersey long term?

Speaker 4 (14:21):
Yeah? Do you want to? Do you want to move
to Florida? I'm nineteen years old.

Speaker 5 (14:24):
It's not about me nineteen years old? Like do you
like living in Florida? Like I go to school in Michigan.
I would never live in.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
Michigan though, I don't know, Like I do love living
in Tampa.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
So I don't know. I have a lot of time
to side.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
So a lot of people always asked if our traditions
have changed after our parents got divorced, and I feel
like they pretty much stayed the same.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
But now we just kind of have to split our time.

Speaker 4 (14:53):
Yeah. No, we just have like double of everything, I feel.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
So a lot of people wondered if our traditions changed,
and they really didn't at all.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
We just have to split our time now.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
Yeah, we always make it a point to see Dad's family,
and now I'm happy that. Obviously Mom's side of the
family is in the equation, but we always see Dad's
family no matter what. Yeah, every holiday basically besides Christmas Eve,
Like Christmas Eve always has been Mom's holiday, regardless of anything.

Speaker 5 (15:23):
Yeah, and then just like more recently, because we're all
in college, I feel like Easter, I mean, have you guys, Oh.

Speaker 4 (15:30):
Yeah, sometimes we just have to go visit normally.

Speaker 5 (15:35):
And yeah, like Easter always falls on like the weekend. Yeah,
you don't have all right before I'm about to go home,
So for me, it doesn't make sense to go home
the weekend prior to when I'm going home for the
entire semester. No, yeah, you're right, So I haven't been
on fez around like probably two or three years.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
Yeah, you haven't. Malonia always comes home.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
So would you guys say we formed any new traditions
when Louis came into our family.

Speaker 5 (16:08):
Yes, decorations wise, Oh really Okay, Like he's like November first,
like the lights are up, Thanksgivings around, Christmas tree is up.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
He is very Yeah, you're right, he's very festive.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
Yeah. We I feel like did everything last minute.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
We always did it the day after Thanksgiving. That was
our day. It was our set day to set up
for the highleys.

Speaker 5 (16:31):
Yeah, I feel like it like scattered throughout the years,
like I feel like we weren't consistent.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
No, like typically it was the day after.

Speaker 4 (16:39):
I always felt like we were like at least in comparison.

Speaker 5 (16:42):
Now, I feel like the decorations are up a lot
Earlier I didn't notice that as much going up.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
No, I agree, but they also now have hired help.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
I would say, can I talk, because it is sure
we no longer do it ourselves, But I'm not complaining.

Speaker 4 (16:56):
I don't know. I don't want to do it either.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
I did do my true with that.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
Talking about where's your tree? Our new tradition that I
think that we do.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
That's a new tradition, is that I don't say, like
eating rice.

Speaker 4 (17:14):
No, what the heck?

Speaker 2 (17:16):
We do have rice on every holiday? Yeah, and now
we have every holiday.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
I was gonna say eating dinner every single night like
like because like at the old house, I feel like
we were always so busy and we'd always get at
different times, like like this house, we like try to
always eat together like every night.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 5 (17:34):
I agree, whatever, moms, we're all home or better about that. Yeah,
I do agree with that as well.

Speaker 4 (17:39):
It's not only Sunday dinner, you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (17:42):
Yeah, yes, I do.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
What advice would you guys give to people who are
splitting time between houses during the holidays?

Speaker 4 (17:50):
What does that mean?

Speaker 5 (17:52):
Managing your time effectively? Even we fail to do that because.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yeah, we always say it's like, oh, weating at.

Speaker 4 (17:58):
Two and then we eat four. You don't do it? Wait,
what don't want? I do? You do do it?

Speaker 2 (18:06):
You do it? Okay?

Speaker 5 (18:07):
And ask like how you would recommend they manage their
time on holidays if they're splitting.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
Like if you're splitting time so for I was going
to my house to like z marias, I think what
really screws it up the house that starting needs.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
To start on time, and we're never on time.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
We're never on time, so say mom says too, I
gotta I gotta say. Louis family too, though, is always late,
so they delay us, like sometimes it could be two hours,
and then if that happens, the.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
Day is it's just delayed, delayed, very delayed.

Speaker 5 (18:41):
I would say, your starting house needs to be on time.
And then just like blocking off time, like making it
a goal. Also just like deciding if you're eating dinner
at a certain house, reading dessert at a certain house,
like I know, I like always eat dinner at our house,
and then I do dessert at my boyfriend's house, and
then I do dinner again at Maris.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
I would say, just split up our our hour.

Speaker 4 (19:07):
I don't know if that was.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
I didn't make any sense. You know, we're not We're
not doing that.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
Do you guys ever remember a time after our parents
divorced that it was hard to manage the holidays.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
I think the only hard part was not having dad there.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
But other than that, I felt like the you know,
the splitting of time and going to family, it was
just always a part of it. I guess maybe the
shift of Dad's family being with us versus not and
then having to split our time was a little.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
Are you saying post divorce.

Speaker 5 (19:44):
Yeah, I feel like the only difficult thing was having
that adjustment where like Dad was present, He's not at
Dad's like side of the family when we would go there.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
I would say that was our hardest adjustment too.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
Yeah, because like I feel like and then earlier, but
also like my dad's family and my mom's side of
the family, we would do holidays together, like my parents
grew up with each other, so holidays were all together.

Speaker 5 (20:10):
Yeah, they were pretty much synonymous. Honestly, we didn't have
to do two houses anywhere.

Speaker 4 (20:15):
No.

Speaker 5 (20:15):
Besides when we would have Christmas Eve mostly with Mom's
side of the family, but also Dad's side would come
as well, they would come.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
It was like a big moment.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
We literally never ever had to split holidays.

Speaker 4 (20:27):
Yeah, we never went to like two houses never.

Speaker 3 (20:29):
It wasn't like we were going to Mom's side of
the house today and then Dad's side.

Speaker 4 (20:33):
Now. It was just one.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
House for each holiday, which was so nice.

Speaker 4 (20:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
So then, yeah, I would say the shift of obviously
when not having my dad there and then having to
split houses, So in the beginning it was a little weird,
but then you get used to it. When did you
guys learn that Santa wasn't real?

Speaker 4 (21:00):

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Did you guys still think Santa was real? When mom

School, kids.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
I literally did everything for you guys. I did this,
the gift, the note from the north Pole.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
I was six. I did Elf on the shelf for
you guys.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
I did everything in the game room behind the bar.

Speaker 4 (21:38):
Yet I found your spot. Wait?

Speaker 4 (21:45):
Game room bar? In the room? Oh? I mean I obviously,
like knew Santa wasn't You never went to go looking
for the gifts? No, oh I did, and I found them.
I would break them a little bit. You're so serious,
I like really curious, and I was like, who's doing

(22:06):
all this? Chia, Dad is not doing that, you know?

Speaker 1 (22:11):
Okay, So when did you know Audrianna definitely still believes
in Santa.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
You told me, told me really, yeah, Gabriella told me.
And then I went to school and I told all
my friends, Wait, why.

Speaker 4 (22:24):

Speaker 4 (22:50):
Wait? How did I just tell you what? Sara Claus?
Were you a true believer? And like, I like upset
you by telling you? No, I don't think you upset me.
I think you just told me. I didn't really care.

Speaker 3 (23:01):
And then I went to school and I was like, guys,
you'll never believe what I heard. It's not real you
would And then they all and then like I made
Stephanie cry. Stephane started crying. I had got in so
much trouble I had to go, Like the principles was
so annoying.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Yeah, you definitely would do you, guys. Mom never did
elf on the shelf. I did elf on the shelf
for you. Guys.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
Yeah, she didn't understand the concept of elf on the show.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
I did Elf on the shelf for you, guys.

Speaker 5 (23:31):
I feel I was at one point too. I just
remember moving it.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Oh yeah, you probably. I think you did help me
a little.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
I think I moved it too. I think it was
old enough to do it.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
But yeah, it's crazy because like nowadays, you go on
TikTok and people do these elaborate Oh yeah, Eli, I
could see you and you're like a mom having the
craziest off on the show, like the snow and everything.

Speaker 4 (23:56):
Like powdered sugar making footprints.

Yeah, so cute.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
I mean I think I definitely want to do off
on the shelf for my kids.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
I think it's really cute.

Speaker 4 (24:06):
And it also way to keep them in line.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
Oh yeah, Like if they don't come for a day
and then your kids get upset, it's because you were fresh,
and then they'll come back.

Speaker 4 (24:17):
Just scary idea would use the word fresh? That word
you use? That word? That sounds so weird. Wait, why
are they going to like, let me go to you?

Speaker 2 (24:37):

word growing up.
