Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ronnie said, the kids allowances. Now, how much they making
a month?
Speaker 2 (00:02):
They say, right now, fifty two dollars a month is
the average allowance.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
For kids these days?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Really fifty two dollars a month, which really in today's
economy is kind of low.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
And what age is this?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
It just says kid, just kids in general, They said.
Obviously it varies. As you're younger, you need less money,
so they can get away with giving you less. But
as you get older, obviously, fifty two dollars a month
seems like what's that to think?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
I think if the allowance thing is something that's kind
of handed down, like if your parents did it for you,
then you'll do it for your kids. We didn't have
an allowance. I used to ask my dad, dad, you know,
and Joey at school said he gets eight dollars a week.
And he said for what, you know, clean his room,
cutting the grass, you know that kind of thing. And
I said, so, he said, well, so what are you
(00:45):
asking me? I don't want to hold eight if we
can break me off, maybe five, right, what you got
he laughed? Yeah, it was one of those son, I
allow you to live here, yeah, I allow these lights
to be on every day you'll tell me it's full.
I allow you to eat, I allow you to sleep.
That's your allowance. Yep. And I'm thinking myself, is that
a joke? No, my mom.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
She didn't run down the list, but her thing was
I would say allowance, like you were allowed to live here?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Yeah and allowed. You had the conversation too, Yeah, I
didn't get an allowance, did you. Hey? No, I just
knew she didn't have money. How she gonna give me money? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, mine,
I was like, you know, a couple of dollars here
that you know.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
So what my mom used to do is she would
give us money that was our lunch money. Yeah, and
whatever we did with that, that's but that's what you got.
So I would get like, I think, like eight bucks
because I was on free lunch. So she'd give me
a couple bucks to supplement that to buy like a
drink or whatever.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
And if I didn't use it for that, they'll have
some money, right.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
And she would drop us off at a skate rink
on Friday night, but that was like two bucks to
get in, and then we would have she'd give us
a five dollar bill.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
You got three dollars to do whatever you want. You know,
you get soda and getting pop, going in RC cold.
That was pretty much it.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
So we did for a little bit.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
It was like five bucks for like chores or something
like that, random things here and there, doing the dishes,
taking the trash out, cleaning up our room and you know,
but that didn't last long. I just remember my parents
just being like, Okay, well we now provide for you
to have sleepovers with your friends and we buy pizza,
you go to the movies, and like that's that's going
(02:24):
to be your settlement for a lot.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Do you remember when y'all had the financial change because
you went from you know, living in a house in
restaurants to not so you yeah, did they tell you?
You just felt it? No?
Speaker 4 (02:34):
I mean I could see it, like obviously the changes.
I remember like going to the public sparking lot and
selling the motor home with my dad because you know,
we couldn't afford it anymore, Like we were downgrade from
a four bedroom house to a two bedroom apartment or like,
you know, so you would see the change.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
It was. It was before that.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Very insensitive, do you twins? Allows?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
No?
Speaker 4 (03:01):
So, I mean right now they get money for like
their birthdays and the tooth fairy.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah she comes.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
But other than that, no, I mean, if they do
stuff around the house, like make their bed, I'll give
them like Rob Rode books or whatever.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
That's all they ask for, no good and.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
It goes fast too.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah, they have.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Like they both have like over one hundred dollars and
like their a little wallet, but they don't spend it.
But that's just from birthday parties and tooth fairries, like
I said, yeah, yeah, and so like that's what they say.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
My kid is paid to play. He gets paid for grades.
I said, your job is to do the best that
you can in school because academically is where you that's
where you're gonna succeed. That's why you're gonna get your scholarships.
That's how you pretty much gonna go to college. Yeah,
you know, this is how much I have in your
college fund and the school's he looking at. You got
about a semester and a half. Yeah, what I got
saved for you. So for him, it's pay to play.
He gets as he gets this amount, bes this amount
(03:53):
anything after that, you're just doing average. Yeah, so for him,
he gets paid. Now he has his choice, he has
to do I don't pay for those, but your job
is school. Now if you do, you decide right now
that I don't want to follow the academic role, then
that we have to shift and you have to get
a job. We'll start you off that way. But right
now he's paid to play and he's really low on
as a bank account. Like, uh, wow, man, grades don't
(04:14):
come out for a while. What it's called now, you
could do it out. That's that's budget, the budget. If
this a little longer, you'd be worried about it. Now, man,
I had to cancel the subscription. Wow, welcome to the
real world. But I don't call that allowance. He has
to I mean he really has to. He looks forward
to report cards because then he but for Christmas he
(04:37):
wants cash. So that's gonna I don't know how it's
gonna work.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
With the great Yeah, yes, which ones get older.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
But I do want to find out if you do that,
if you give your kids allowance, how do you give
them money? Or you don't. I mean I didn't get
any I got it if I needed something like like
Brin's mom, Hey, you want to go to movies? Slids
a couple of dollars on the table. Friday night was
that was our babysitter was a stating ring. My mom
could go look for new data.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
We the a local family owned the skating rink, the
best family and everyone. Chuck was the guy who ran it,
and everyone knew that he was gonna take care of
your kid. And so my mom would drop me off
at the babysitter, the skating ring, she go look for
new daddy and then I usually we live close enough
like a walk home.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
So it was kind of like a neighborhood skate ring. Yeah,
it was over and Sandor skate don't want to go. Hey, hey,
now you know your mama wouldn't want you to see it.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
You're doing nine percent. You wouldn't do anything in front
of him that you wouldn't do in front of your mom.
That's crazy and the parents knew that, so they're like
it was packed. It was packed every Friday night. That
was where we were there every Friday night because it
was think about it. She got babysitter for five dollars. Yeah,

Speaker 7 (06:19):
I call it the.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Prize, a prize, okay. And how do they earn that prize?
Speaker 7 (06:24):
So my kids they earn it by getting good grades
in school, doing their choice at home. And then how
they treat each other?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Ooh?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
And how often is the payoff?
Speaker 7 (06:34):
Every day and every week? So every day if they
go the whole day without arguing, fighting or anything, if
they're just good all day, at the end of the day,
they get to go into the prize basket. Now, in
the prize basket, it does have like a few dollars
in there, but it also has like Fortnite cars, Roebucks, cards,
and disserl like toys. Wow, it's really big on toys
and like you know, gifts and things like that. They're
(06:56):
more inter that than money.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Real, how old are.
Speaker 7 (06:59):
My son is nine and my daughter is sick.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
And they intentionally behave so at the end of the
day they can go into the prize basket.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
Not all the time, but most of the time.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
I mean, that's kind of like what they do at school,
you know, like the kids have those those like megabucks
or whatever that they get in school, and then they
go to the treasure box and get something.
Speaker 7 (07:16):
Really I actually got that from my daughter's treasure box, saying.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
That she used to do at school.
Speaker 7 (07:22):
Yeah, she was so exciting and she'll tell me about it.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
I was, Okay, let me start implementing day and to
my house. Look at you, it's changed really.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Good, good idea.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
I've been like my brother. Look, man, if it went
to the end of the day, I kick your butt.
At the end of the day, I'm about to give
that prize box. So I'm gonna let you slide five
minutes away.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
But you know what, tomorrow I want to go ahead
and accept that tomorrow I ain't going to the prize
box because tomorrow I'm gonna whoop.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
You know how about that. But I'm gonna get my
prize today, right tomorrow, Hey, don't sleep. They love me. Well, wow,
that's pretty good. I'm sure some parents listening right now
going I might have to try that all right, that
she should thank you, thank you, we sharing that you
have a beautiful day. Okay, well, thank you, okay, bye bye.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Now when they get to their job, when they get older,
at the end of the day, they're gonna be like, hey,
we're don't work like that.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Call us from Zephyr Hill, Alexis, good.
Speaker 8 (08:13):
Morning, Hey, good morning guys.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I'm just curious. Do I'll be a free water up there?
Speaker 8 (08:19):
No, at least a discount, No unless you work at
the least if you work there.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah, I want to imagine whatever comes out of your speaking.
It's pretty nice Zephyr Hills water.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I'm just saying if you your brother, than you should
be able to drive up and say I need my
case for the month.
Speaker 8 (08:37):
Right. You know, well, my my husband's my father in law.
He's passed away now, but he used to work there
and he would come home with cases of class bottles.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Okay, all right, getting back to topic. All right, allown says,
what do you do?
Speaker 8 (08:56):
So my kids? I have four boys and their ages
are fifteen, thirteen, ten, and eight. My two older ones
decided to go to public school. The last two years,
I've homeschooled them all. And so because they're in public school,
that's like a full time job. They get up early
to go to school, they're both in sports. They're not
(09:17):
home till like five thirty pm Monday day Friday. So
I kind of just do their chores for them. I
know that sounds so stupid. We've discussed it. And as
far as making money for the two older ones, I
am a spark driver, which is like a delivery for
Walmart and depot, and so I bring them along with me,
(09:40):
and then whatever we make, I give them money so
they can have it's still working because I don't want
them to have a job to take away from their
school and sports. Yeah, you so right, And so with
as far the allowance goes, I don't I never gotten
allowance as far as doing chores goes because it's like
I'm not getting paid to do the laundry.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Oh no, but if you don't my choice for it,
if you don't choice for me, then that is my allowance,
right the right. What they're saying.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Somebody said, we don't give cash.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
He just earns items that he wants by doing things
around the house and getting good grades.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
No allowance. Just when they need money.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
They actually have to work for it. It's if they
need something or they want to do something, they have
to earn it. Okay, somebody said, I just gave my
kid money. Uh he was a good kid with good grades,
but didn't say how much. NV Excel mobile powered by
Attorney Dan Newlan Interact need to check. It's a no brainer.
Just call it Attorney Dan Newland.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Most people say they have to earn it, but someone
said they use an allowance app. It actually attaches to
a card and each week you can add more to
the chores and earnings. If they go and don't do it,
you can uncheck that box and it won't pay him
for that chore.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Really, it subtracts money.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
If they need to subtract money, and then a portion
of it goes into a savings account automatically. Is this
an app Yeah, and the rest of it's theirs and
you can adjust that as well.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
So it's kind of.

Speaker 10 (12:00):
True story happened to me. We went to the Orlando
Science Museum Center and there was a national like Blippy
Day concert type of thing, like a little show that
it was there, and every kid known to man was
dressed in this Blippy costume. If you know, it's this
it's this dude.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
That's entertained the kids.
Speaker 10 (12:17):
He was real much sular a few years back. Okay,
So my child at this time, he's three, and I
even told my husband it was my idea. I'm like,
you know, how cool would it be if we get
to meet, you know, the person that was Blippy, which
it wasn't him, it was an impersonator.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
But that's okay.
Speaker 10 (12:32):
How cool would it be that, you know, we dress
them up as Blippy, we take cool photos. Jokes on me.
Every kid didn't think that far. Every kid known to
man was dressed as Blippy.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Okay, right, So we.
Speaker 10 (12:43):
Are in this huge type of playground setting inside the
Science Museum Center and I'm like, hey, we gotta go.
We gotta go, and again every kid is dressed like this.
So we go, We pack him up in the stroller,
we pack up everything. We go and like we put
him in the car and I'm looking back, I'm like, hey,
you know, I'm telling my husband making sure that he's
(13:03):
strapped good because at this point, he's still like a curtsey.
You guys, why is it When I went to get
out of the car to take a look, that's not
my giinal.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
You picked up somebody else's kid.
Speaker 10 (13:15):
We picked up somebody else's kid.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
And got all the way to the car.
Speaker 10 (13:22):
We got into the car, guys into the stroller. We
were about to drive off.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Ahead, got questions anything, but like the kids did they
say anything?
Speaker 10 (13:37):
Was just so nonchalant. This chilling and guess what eat
eating my son's snacks that were on the cupholders.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Some animal crackers in this car I'm riding in styles
So what happened?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
What happened?
Speaker 10 (13:54):
So we run, we run inside and we go back
to the playground area. My son is actually still in
entertaining himself on some type of little thing that they
had going on, like the little ball things on the floor.
And I'm having this child in my hand and I'm
like looking for a concerned parent. I even went to
the to the front office. I'm like, hey, like, I know,
we left the center, but we're coming back and look
(14:16):
we took the wrong kid. And they're like, you took
the wrong kid. Everyone's judging.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (14:20):
I'm like, well, wait a minute, where's a parent of
this child? Because they don't even know that.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Goodness, you know, so to make us to.
Speaker 10 (14:27):
Wrap up the story, we did get my son, and
then we actually took about twenty minutes to find the
other parent of art the child that we had. They
were not even in that playground area. They were in
some other event in the museum center.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
We almost got rid of. Oh my, it's so.
Speaker 10 (14:45):
Horrible and yeah, but we kind of came back. Thank
you for that. Never happens again, so try but verify
that was my story.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Oh my goodness. If they would have responded like, you
know you took the wrong kid, I'm like, you got
a microphone thing here, give me that. Everybody, check your kid.
I picked up somebody else's kid and I got my kid,
but I got your kid. Check your kid.
Speaker 10 (15:09):
No, Johnny, the best part is, I mean it's not
the best part again, this thing could have been worth
you know's what we're thankful. But when we looked around,
you could see parents just like kind of looking around
at the kids, so they don't know which one is there.
Like if you really pay attention to.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
That, now, yeahs don't make yourself feel good. You'd only
want to take somebody else's kid out of here. Yeah,
but all of them didn't know John, all of them.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Didn't know She She has said that they were all
just the same seventeen times in the summer.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
It was a bad time. We just happened to leave.

took the wrong kid.

went through the drive through and I ordered a burger
(16:40):
and he ordered some chicken nuggets. And so we're going
on the path back to school and he goes, can
you check the bag, because you know, they never remember
to put everything in, And so I looked in the
bag and I said, oh, babe, your nuggets aren't all here.
There's only like half of them. And he flips out.
He's like, we gotta go back, We've got to go back.

I was her chicken nugget ladies. But after all these years,
she's telling that story like it was yesterday.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Yeah, back in the eighties on Friday the thirteenth, that one.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Come on, no, no nugget thing happened on Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Holy crap, I forgot it. Will America's congratulations, you're the winner.
That was an amazing story.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Wow.
Speaker 10 (20:07):
Wow, Para tickets, Yeah, parent tickets, Universal Orlando Resort.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
You're going, we're gonna be broadcasting live there next Friday,
and it's going on now through January the fourth. You
hold on, We'll get some information from you. Okay, thank you,
Oh no, thank you for telling that story. Ray, What
you got coming up here?
Speaker 3 (20:24):
What did some of the journey
Ronnie said, the kids allowances. Now, how much they making
a month?
Speaker 2 (00:02):
They say, right now, fifty two dollars a month is
the average allowance.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
For kids these days?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Really fifty two dollars a month, which really in today's
economy is kind of low.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
And what age is this?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
It just says kid, just kids in general, They said.
Obviously it varies. As you're younger, you need less money,
so they can get away with giving you less. But
as you get older, obviously, fifty two dollars a month
seems like what's that to think?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
I think if the allowance thing is something that's kind
of handed down, like if your parents did it for you,
then you'll do it for your kids. We didn't have
an allowance. I used to ask my dad, dad, you know,
and Joey at school said he gets eight dollars a week.
And he said for what, you know, clean his room,
cutting the grass, you know that kind of thing. And
I said, so, he said, well, so what are you
(00:45):
asking me? I don't want to hold eight if we
can break me off, maybe five, right, what you got
he laughed? Yeah, it was one of those son, I
allow you to live here, yeah, I allow these lights
to be on every day you'll tell me it's full.
I allow you to eat, I allow you to sleep.
That's your allowance. Yep. And I'm thinking myself, is that
a joke? No, my mom.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
She didn't run down the list, but her thing was
I would say allowance, like you were allowed to live here?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Yeah and allowed. You had the conversation too, Yeah, I
didn't get an allowance, did you. Hey? No, I just
knew she didn't have money. How she gonna give me money? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, mine,
I was like, you know, a couple of dollars here
that you know.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
So what my mom used to do is she would
give us money that was our lunch money. Yeah, and
whatever we did with that, that's but that's what you got.
So I would get like, I think, like eight bucks
because I was on free lunch. So she'd give me
a couple bucks to supplement that to buy like a
drink or whatever.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
And if I didn't use it for that, they'll have
some money, right.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
And she would drop us off at a skate rink
on Friday night, but that was like two bucks to
get in, and then we would have she'd give us
a five dollar bill.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
You got three dollars to do whatever you want. You know,
you get soda and getting pop, going in RC cold.
That was pretty much it.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
So we did for a little bit.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
It was like five bucks for like chores or something
like that, random things here and there, doing the dishes,
taking the trash out, cleaning up our room and you know,
but that didn't last long. I just remember my parents
just being like, Okay, well we now provide for you
to have sleepovers with your friends and we buy pizza,
you go to the movies, and like that's that's going
(02:24):
to be your settlement for a lot.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Do you remember when y'all had the financial change because
you went from you know, living in a house in
restaurants to not so you yeah, did they tell you?
You just felt it? No?
Speaker 4 (02:34):
I mean I could see it, like obviously the changes.
I remember like going to the public sparking lot and
selling the motor home with my dad because you know,
we couldn't afford it anymore, Like we were downgrade from
a four bedroom house to a two bedroom apartment or like,
you know, so you would see the change.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
It was. It was before that.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Very insensitive, do you twins? Allows?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
No?
Speaker 4 (03:01):
So, I mean right now they get money for like
their birthdays and the tooth fairy.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah she comes.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
But other than that, no, I mean, if they do
stuff around the house, like make their bed, I'll give
them like Rob Rode books or whatever.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
That's all they ask for, no good and.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
It goes fast too.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah, they have.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Like they both have like over one hundred dollars and
like their a little wallet, but they don't spend it.
But that's just from birthday parties and tooth fairries, like
I said, yeah, yeah, and so like that's what they say.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
My kid is paid to play. He gets paid for grades.
I said, your job is to do the best that
you can in school because academically is where you that's
where you're gonna succeed. That's why you're gonna get your scholarships.
That's how you pretty much gonna go to college. Yeah,
you know, this is how much I have in your
college fund and the school's he looking at. You got
about a semester and a half. Yeah, what I got
saved for you. So for him, it's pay to play.
He gets as he gets this amount, bes this amount
(03:53):
anything after that, you're just doing average. Yeah, so for him,
he gets paid. Now he has his choice, he has
to do I don't pay for those, but your job
is school. Now if you do, you decide right now
that I don't want to follow the academic role, then
that we have to shift and you have to get
a job. We'll start you off that way. But right
now he's paid to play and he's really low on
as a bank account. Like, uh, wow, man, grades don't
(04:14):
come out for a while. What it's called now, you
could do it out. That's that's budget, the budget. If
this a little longer, you'd be worried about it. Now, man,
I had to cancel the subscription. Wow, welcome to the
real world. But I don't call that allowance. He has
to I mean he really has to. He looks forward
to report cards because then he but for Christmas he
(04:37):
wants cash. So that's gonna I don't know how it's
gonna work.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
With the great Yeah, yes, which ones get older.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
But I do want to find out if you do that,
if you give your kids allowance, how do you give
them money? Or you don't. I mean I didn't get
any I got it if I needed something like like
Brin's mom, Hey, you want to go to movies? Slids
a couple of dollars on the table. Friday night was
that was our babysitter was a stating ring. My mom
could go look for new data.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
We the a local family owned the skating rink, the
best family and everyone. Chuck was the guy who ran it,
and everyone knew that he was gonna take care of
your kid. And so my mom would drop me off
at the babysitter, the skating ring, she go look for
new daddy and then I usually we live close enough
like a walk home.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
So it was kind of like a neighborhood skate ring. Yeah,
it was over and Sandor skate don't want to go. Hey, hey,
now you know your mama wouldn't want you to see it.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
You're doing nine percent. You wouldn't do anything in front
of him that you wouldn't do in front of your mom.
That's crazy and the parents knew that, so they're like
it was packed. It was packed every Friday night. That
was where we were there every Friday night because it
was think about it. She got babysitter for five dollars. Yeah,
for the whole night. Yeah, from six pm to eleven pm.

I don't calling an allowance.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
I call it the.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Prize, a prize, okay. And how do they earn that prize?
Speaker 7 (06:24):
So my kids they earn it by getting good grades
in school, doing their choice at home. And then how
they treat each other?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Ooh?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
And how often is the payoff?
Speaker 7 (06:34):
Every day and every week? So every day if they
go the whole day without arguing, fighting or anything, if
they're just good all day, at the end of the day,
they get to go into the prize basket. Now, in
the prize basket, it does have like a few dollars
in there, but it also has like Fortnite cars, Roebucks, cards,
and disserl like toys. Wow, it's really big on toys
and like you know, gifts and things like that. They're
(06:56):
more inter that than money.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Real, how old are.
Speaker 7 (06:59):
My son is nine and my daughter is sick.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
And they intentionally behave so at the end of the
day they can go into the prize basket.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
Not all the time, but most of the time.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
I mean, that's kind of like what they do at school,
you know, like the kids have those those like megabucks
or whatever that they get in school, and then they
go to the treasure box and get something.
Speaker 7 (07:16):
Really I actually got that from my daughter's treasure box, saying.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
That she used to do at school.
Speaker 7 (07:22):
Yeah, she was so exciting and she'll tell me about it.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
I was, Okay, let me start implementing day and to
my house. Look at you, it's changed really.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Good, good idea.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
I've been like my brother. Look, man, if it went
to the end of the day, I kick your butt.
At the end of the day, I'm about to give
that prize box. So I'm gonna let you slide five
minutes away.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
But you know what, tomorrow I want to go ahead
and accept that tomorrow I ain't going to the prize
box because tomorrow I'm gonna whoop.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
You know how about that. But I'm gonna get my
prize today, right tomorrow, Hey, don't sleep. They love me. Well, wow,

going I might have to try that all right, that
she should thank you, thank you, we sharing that you
have a beautiful day. Okay, well, thank you, okay, bye bye.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Now when they get to their job, when they get older,
at the end of the day, they're gonna be like, hey,
we're don't work like that.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Call us from Zephyr Hill, Alexis, good.
Speaker 8 (08:13):
Morning, Hey, good morning guys.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I'm just curious. Do I'll be a free water up there?
Speaker 8 (08:19):
No, at least a discount, No unless you work at
the least if you work there.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah, I want to imagine whatever comes out of your speaking.
It's pretty nice Zephyr Hills water.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I'm just saying if you your brother, than you should
be able to drive up and say I need my
case for the month.
Speaker 8 (08:37):
Right. You know, well, my my husband's my father in law.
He's passed away now, but he used to work there
and he would come home with cases of class bottles.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Okay, all right, getting back to topic. All right, allown says,
what do you do?
Speaker 8 (08:56):
So my kids? I have four boys and their ages
are fifteen, thirteen, ten, and eight. My two older ones
decided to go to public school. The last two years,
I've homeschooled them all. And so because they're in public school,
that's like a full time job. They get up early
to go to school, they're both in sports. They're not
(09:17):
home till like five thirty pm Monday day Friday. So
I kind of just do their chores for them. I
know that sounds so stupid. We've discussed it. And as
far as making money for the two older ones, I
am a spark driver, which is like a delivery for
Walmart and depot, and so I bring them along with me,
(09:40):
and then whatever we make, I give them money so
they can have it's still working because I don't want
them to have a job to take away from their
school and sports. Yeah, you so right, And so with
as far the allowance goes, I don't I never gotten
allowance as far as doing chores goes because it's like
I'm not getting paid to do the laundry.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Oh no, but if you don't my choice for it,
if you don't choice for me, then that is my allowance,
right the right. What they're saying.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Somebody said, we don't give cash.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
He just earns items that he wants by doing things
around the house and getting good grades.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
No allowance. Just when they need money.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
They actually have to work for it. It's if they
need something or they want to do something, they have
to earn it. Okay, somebody said, I just gave my
kid money. Uh he was a good kid with good grades,
but didn't say how much. NV Excel mobile powered by
Attorney Dan Newlan Interact need to check. It's a no brainer.
Just call it Attorney Dan Newland.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Most people say they have to earn it, but someone
said they use an allowance app. It actually attaches to
a card and each week you can add more to
the chores and earnings. If they go and don't do it,
you can uncheck that box and it won't pay him
for that chore.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Really, it subtracts money.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
If they need to subtract money, and then a portion
of it goes into a savings account automatically. Is this
an app Yeah, and the rest of it's theirs and
you can adjust that as well.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
So it's kind of.
Speaker 2 (10:56):

Speaker 10 (12:00):
True story happened to me. We went to the Orlando
Science Museum Center and there was a national like Blippy
Day concert type of thing, like a little show that
it was there, and every kid known to man was
dressed in this Blippy costume. If you know, it's this
it's this dude.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
That's entertained the kids.
Speaker 10 (12:17):
He was real much sular a few years back. Okay,
So my child at this time, he's three, and I
even told my husband it was my idea. I'm like,
you know, how cool would it be if we get
to meet, you know, the person that was Blippy, which
it wasn't him, it was an impersonator.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
But that's okay.
Speaker 10 (12:32):
How cool would it be that, you know, we dress
them up as Blippy, we take cool photos. Jokes on me.
Every kid didn't think that far. Every kid known to
man was dressed as Blippy.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Okay, right, So we.
Speaker 10 (12:43):
Are in this huge type of playground setting inside the
Science Museum Center and I'm like, hey, we gotta go.
We gotta go, and again every kid is dressed like this.
So we go, We pack him up in the stroller,
we pack up everything. We go and like we put
him in the car and I'm looking back, I'm like, hey,
you know, I'm telling my husband making sure that he's
(13:03):
strapped good because at this point, he's still like a curtsey.
You guys, why is it When I went to get
out of the car to take a look, that's not
my giinal.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
You picked up somebody else's kid.
Speaker 10 (13:15):
We picked up somebody else's kid.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
And got all the way to the car.
Speaker 10 (13:22):
We got into the car, guys into the stroller. We
were about to drive off.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Ahead, got questions anything, but like the kids did they
say anything?
Speaker 10 (13:37):
Was just so nonchalant. This chilling and guess what eat
eating my son's snacks that were on the cupholders.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Some animal crackers in this car I'm riding in styles
So what happened?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
What happened?
Speaker 10 (13:54):
So we run, we run inside and we go back
to the playground area. My son is actually still in
entertaining himself on some type of little thing that they
had going on, like the little ball things on the floor.
And I'm having this child in my hand and I'm
like looking for a concerned parent. I even went to
the to the front office. I'm like, hey, like, I know,
we left the center, but we're coming back and look
(14:16):
we took the wrong kid. And they're like, you took
the wrong kid. Everyone's judging.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (14:20):
I'm like, well, wait a minute, where's a parent of
this child? Because they don't even know that.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Goodness, you know, so to make us to.
Speaker 10 (14:27):
Wrap up the story, we did get my son, and
then we actually took about twenty minutes to find the
other parent of art the child that we had. They
were not even in that playground area. They were in
some other event in the museum center.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
We almost got rid of. Oh my, it's so.
Speaker 10 (14:45):
Horrible and yeah, but we kind of came back. Thank
you for that. Never happens again, so try but verify
that was my story.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Oh my goodness. If they would have responded like, you
know you took the wrong kid, I'm like, you got
a microphone thing here, give me that. Everybody, check your kid.
I picked up somebody else's kid and I got my kid,
but I got your kid. Check your kid.
Speaker 10 (15:09):
No, Johnny, the best part is, I mean it's not
the best part again, this thing could have been worth
you know's what we're thankful. But when we looked around,
you could see parents just like kind of looking around
at the kids, so they don't know which one is there.
Like if you really pay attention to.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
That, now, yeahs don't make yourself feel good. You'd only
want to take somebody else's kid out of here. Yeah,
but all of them didn't know John, all of them.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Didn't know She She has said that they were all
just the same seventeen times in the summer.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
It was a bad time. We just happened to leave.

to the fast food restaurant he worked at after school,
went through the drive through and I ordered a burger
(16:40):
and he ordered some chicken nuggets. And so we're going
on the path back to school and he goes, can
you check the bag, because you know, they never remember
to put everything in, And so I looked in the
bag and I said, oh, babe, your nuggets aren't all here.
There's only like half of them. And he flips out.
He's like, we gotta go back, We've got to go back.
(17:02):

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
