It's birthday girl, Strawberry Letter.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Thank you nephew. Subject Do I need his approval to
live my best life? Dear Stephen Shirley, I've been married
for thirty years. Since I was nineteen darned years old.
I had two babies, and my husband wanted one more.
I had another one, and then another one. I never
even wanted children, but I love my children and gave

(00:48):
them all I had, all I had to give. The
youngest finally got a job and his own place. I
went as fast as I could to get some fillers
and injections in my face to look as young as
I feel well. I took the other shots too, and lost.
I lost seventeen pounds all because I'm turning fifty. Uh huh,
uh huh. She did it all because I'm turning fifty

(01:09):
in September and I want to do it big. I
planned a trip to Jamaica and three of my friends
are going. My husband thought it was going to be
a trip for me and him, but it's not. Social
media has me wanting to take one of those girl trips,
you know, girls trips where I'm out on the ocean
on a glass bottom boat taking sexy pictures. He's afraid
of water, so he's not going. I ordered three bikini

(01:33):
swimsuits and he doesn't think that they are appropriate for
a fifty year old mom. He went through all my
emails and found my hotel confirmation and my reservation for
an in room massage. He was hot.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
He said.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
He does not like how I've been carrying on lately,
and for all he knows, I could be going over
there to meet a man. He said, if I go
to Jamaica, we are going to have some problems. I
hate that for him because I'm going. I also hate
that in thirty years, he let his friend fall by
the wayside, and I'm his only friend. He is my

(02:08):
best friend and favorite person. In the world, but I
am about to be outside, Okay. I reminded him that
I missed my twenties because we got married so young.
I don't blame him at all for that. He needs
to understand it's just a birthday trip. Why is he
tripping like this because you look good?

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Girl?

Speaker 1 (02:29):
You look good. Didn't you say in your letter that
you got fillers and injections and took some shots and
lost seventeen pounds? Girl, you must be super fine right
now you birthday. You look good and he's a little jealous.
So you know he's acting up right now. He's insecure
about this new you, and he's trying to control the

(02:50):
situation because he's not going. There's nothing wrong with the
girl's trip as long as you know what you say
is true. You're not going over there to meet a man.
It's just you and your three girl old friends going
on a birthday trip. He doesn't even like water, right,
so why would he be going anyway? Why is he
trying to stop you? I will tell you not to
let what you see on social media mess up with

(03:12):
your marriage, though I'm glad all you saw is people
taking bikini pictures on glass bottom boats. You need to
reassure him though, that he is your best friend and
he's your favorite person in the whole world, and that
he can trust you. This thing is about trust. Then
go on your trip and have some fun. He'll be fine,
He'll be all right.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Tommy, You got a new nicked and that's not fair.
You know that you'd have got them shots in your face,
you got them other shots. You done dropped all this weight.
You got a new nicked, and that's not fair. You
could have at least brought him along the way when
you got your shots. You could have got him some shots.
Y'all could have dropped this weight together. Y'all could have.
He could have feeled his face up like he won't.

(03:52):
But now now you look like a million dollars. Now
he looked like fol dollars. You got a new nicket
and that's not fair. Finna go down there and put
these nice bikinis on, looking all nice and probably got
one that's a throng. You know that's just way too much.
He ain't ready for this right now. Now, you're finna
post all this on social media. And let me tell
you something about these glass bottom boats. Have you seen

She gave them all she had. Then when the last

job and everything, she said, Babe, I'm about to turn fifty.
She got some fillers, she got some injections in her face.
She wanted to look as young as she feels because
she's this September, she's about to be fifty, and she
wanted to do it big. So she's on social media.
She's seeing all these women taking bikini shots, sexy shots

(07:39):
in these glass bottomed boats. So that's what she wants
to do. So she and her girls are going to
do a girl's trip. So what does her husband do?
