tiring tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Well, here's the thing about Christmas, and you start realizing
this once you have children, and Ethan you don't have children,
but you might as well with I think I'm understanding
the point what you put into it is you look
back on all of the memories that you're that our
parents like provided for us when it came to Elmer,
(00:47):
the elf oceans here, so just make sure whisper.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Yeah, but also no, trust me, I think as built.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yeah, That's why I'm happy we have the back house
because I'm gonna that's why I built all the things
so we can just put them out beforehand, because I
always remember mom and Dad being like, we couldn't go
to bed till five in the morning because we had
to build your stuff. And I'm like, how can I
avoid the five am?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Yeah, and then them waking up at like seven and
getting excited.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
No, let's talk about what ocean did, what'd she do
going into Gigi's room.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Oh my gosh, you guys.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
We went to the mall and she was wanting to
go into this dress shop and they have the cutest
things and it's all of these like big puffy gowns
for like young kids, and skirts and like frilly stuff,
cute little bags that like look like Chanel, and she
wanted one, and of course I had to like shut
(01:47):
it down because it's almost Christmas, and I said, you
don't need that, oh, and she was like.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I, but I really wanted it's so cute. I don't
have this one.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
And so we go to Claire's where we then gather
a bunch of things that she wanted and we do
it behind her back because those those little gifts are
from Elmore the Elf. And I go back into the store.
I get this cute bag. I hide it in the
diaper bag. We get home. Ocean is the negotiation with
this child is just a lot. She verbally waterboards me
(02:19):
at all times of the day about everything. Girls got
stamina and I just don't. So I was like, Ocean,
it's mom time and we're gonna play. And when I
say we, I mean not you. I didn't say it
like this.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
She w upside down me.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Time, we is now me you guys. I was like,
it's mom time, it's adult time, and the adults are
gonna play Mario Party on the switch, okay, And she goes, well,
then can I watch my iPad? I was like, I
don't even care. I don't even care watch your iPad.
(03:01):
So I sent her downstairs and she's awfully quiet. I'd hear,
not any iPad happening, no YouTube kids, and and then
the gees.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Is like, something's going on.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
So she goes down into her room and Ocean has
rummaged through and found the purse, She found the elf gifts,
She found it everything, and.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I was like, I'm taking it all back.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
And of course my mom's like, okay, we don't need
to be that intense, Like we tell her it's for
someone else, like, oh, you found all the gifts were giving.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
To London, my niece were shipping them to Utah.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
And now they're all wrapped up. And Ocean has such
a good memory that I know she's gonna be like
you tricked me. They just can't be from Santa. Can't
be from Santa. They have to be from Mom.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yeah, you're gonna have to just say I was buying
those for you and those were going to be your
gift for me, but now you.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I just wish she would listen, don't we all? Yeah,
And the other thing about this Christmas is that you
don't like some kids have older siblings and you worry
that they're gonna spoil Christmas for your kid because maybe
they heard from their older sibling that like Santa is
(04:18):
very real.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Okay, well, I'm worried about her going into school still
because it's tell the story well every so obviously school
here a lot of religion, a lot of people believing
in for things. So it's like she was like, let
me take the elmer the elf. So yeah, she takes
the elf into school. First, little boy goes that elf
(04:40):
isn't real, and oh, she goes, yeah it is. And
I was like, oh boy, here we go. I dismissed
myself very quickly.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Kevin. Didn't she say, yeah it is. He brings me present?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah, yeah, it is, he brings me present. And I
didn't dismiss. I looked at the teacher and I said,
if this becomes an issue, do I need to take
it or is she She goes we'll put it in
her backpack. And I said, Ocean, this becomes an issue.
What do you do? And she goes pet it away
and I said, good job, have a good one, kid,
and I loved and then I just hear the bickering
of the kids.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Elves are real and.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
I was like, no, I know we shouldn't have opened
this can of worms. Keep the elves at home, by everybody,
keep the elves at home. Because I was verbally waterboarded
us again. She has seventeen times, and on the eighteen
I was like, take the off to school. I don't
even care anymore.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
I will say I got mad at Lauren because Ocean
was like, my mom told me I could bring it,
and when your mom doesn't have to deal with it
right now, so she let you, so no I caught it.
So she didn't let you. She just let you bring
it in here and no talking me. And now you're
mad at me.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
It's so funny.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
So usually our Christmas Eve plans can we don't even have.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Well, so many people are like, what are your tradition?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
You don't even have anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
It's hard to create traditions when you have split when
you yeah, when when it's kind of all over the place. Now,
my agreement.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Is is very good. I have no complaints.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
You know. Obviously, if I had it my way, it
would be one hundred percent of the time.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
And I'm sure he feels the same way.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
But whatever, That's what happens when your part ways. But
I'm thrilled with it this year. So she's gonna She
went to Miami and blew back today actually, and for
a moment, I was like, this is not cool. My
kid's on an airplane for five and a half hours
(06:48):
on Christmas Eve and she's very resilient. You guys, now,
if this were so soid, I think this would throw
her for a loop.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
But Ocean's like, yeah, whatever.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
And then I learned how many people are actually traveling today,
Like so many of my mom friends are like, yeah,
we're traveling for Christmas. And I was like, oh great,
when are you guys headed out? They're like Christmas Eve.
I'm like what, that's so wild? They were like, well,
say what's up to Ocean on the way out. So
she flew back in Christmas Eve today and I will
(07:18):
have her all day tomorrow. And the other side, you know,
did the whole Christmas thing already, but it's really hard
to create traditions. My number one thing is like getting
to the desert during the holiday. But I just didn't
want to put ocean from a five and a half
hour flight into a car for two hours to get
to the desert. So we're spending Christmas for the first
(07:40):
time in this house, Christmas in la and I'm excited.
Then she can play with her toys. It's not like
a big to do of Oh my gosh, you know,
we got to like I want to get to the desert.
I want to get to the desert.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
We can.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
We built most of the toys. The other little things
will do tonight tomorrow she can have a Heyday traditional breakfast.
Thinking about it, of like the sausage and the egg,
what is it like a casserole?
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Was it a Mormon thing? I don't know. Grandma used
to make it.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yeah, I want to say it was like an egg
cheese castrole. Yeah, whatever it was. That's the thing that
brings me back to heaven, yeah, some sort of.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
The only thing that missing for me is a big family.
No an ice cold vodka soda this morning.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Talk to him, lady.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
That my dad would make me. It would just be ready.
He would be having his bloody marry or a mimosa,
and I just went straight in for that kill.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
I do miss that because that was like I because
I can only it was only like a couple of
years for me because I didn't really drink and he
died when I was twenty five. But like the last
couple was always like having a little mimosa. Yeah, come
in with the orange juice and just like a drop.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yeah, refills on refills.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Everything's just the eggnog.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Oh, just the thing, the whole thing. Ocean said.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
The other day, the TV was playing and someone said alcohol,
and she.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Was alcohol, Alcohol is bad for you, isn't mom?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
And I was like, I was like, I don't know
how to answer this because I don't want it to
be like a forbidden fruit for her. I didn't expect
her to be talking about like alcohol being good or
bad for you at.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Four and a half. I just kind of ignored her.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
I pretended like I didn't hear her because I don't
want to be like, yeah, it's really bad for it.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
But she keeps asking you.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
She doesn't forget, and she didn't ask me.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Oh she didn't know, And I'm like, I'm not discussing
us with you at four and a half, like too young,
but it will be interesting. The reason I'm bringing that
up is I just I'm like, these are weird conversations,
and I see her like if she's asking that, it's
a matter of time honestly for her to be like,
oh Shanta clause real.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
No, she's pretty smart too.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
One fuck up away from making her a non believable.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
It's not even a fuck up. It's like, what you
can't You're gonna have to go buy a storage and
to keep all of her shitting because she's a little
she goes through everything, she'll find everything. She clept out
all of my stuff from my house. I don't know
what else is missing. So it's like I don't even
know what She was there to see it. So it's like,
what do you do to hide gifts? Because I remember
(10:46):
Mom was like I had your gifts in like the
most in plain sight, but you never looked. Do you
remember that? Yes? Like I never was going in closets
to look.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Well I wasn't either, And she's like, I remember Mom.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
When we'd go in the basement. No, the two doors
that yes went into the same she was in there
and like I never even thought of it, but she
got like skittish. She was probably hiding gifts for me
and you or something, and I was like, what are
you doing? She was like just trying to find wrapping paper.
I'll never forget it. I was like, all right, I
wasn't like I'm going to go in that room.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
After she would be like, that's not where you keep
the wrapping paper. The wrapping paper, I saw it in
the other closet.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah, and she would have gone through that room, but
like that's something. So it's like, it's not a fuck up.
It's like you've got a kid who is just very
very what's the word I'm looking for.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
She's interested in everything. Curious, just curious there.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
It is a little curious George.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I was just gonna say, and I'm going to start
calling her George, because she'll go in every room, even
if she's on her iPad. I've seen her she'll look
over the top of it and like see what we're
all doing, And then when you look at her, she'll
look back at it, and I'm like, oh okay.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Oh no, Christmas is stressful. I was just gonna say,
what are you the most excited for tomorrow morning? Waking
up seeing her face? Honestly her face.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I'm excited for Sosa's first Christmas in a sense of
like her being able to like sit down and like
rip open some not that she'll know what it is,
but I think it'll be fun for her to just
rip things open. So I'm excited for that. I'm excited
to just wake up as like a little family and
have just like breakfast coffee. Yeah, football is on love
(12:33):

the playroom now with Ocean so, so we'll grab like
a cup and a spoon, for example, and like stir
and set, Like she's starting to know how to play
with Ocean. So I'm excited to see her now when

when it comes to Ocean is she's obsessed with desks
right now. So I got her desk and then I
got her like paper clips and a little breethecase and
like all this paper so she can play off. I can.
