Speaker 1 (00:24):
Am I A Bad Mom? Podcasts?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
We muddle through parenting because there's no real well there
are books.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
No, there's no red we're talking about this. There's no
books that say how to be a mom? Yeah, raising girls,
raising boys.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
It blows my mind that if you think about driving,
for example, like you have to have a license, you
have to have done lessons, you have to have passed
your test.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Like, don't you think I just have to do kids
to anyone?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Kids just willy nilly, Yeah, I'm.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Gonna have a child. You don't even know what you're doing.
That's the thing though, you just don't think. No, this
is a natural instinct I you that comes out that
says I want to be a.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Mom yeah, or a dad yeah, And it's just change
your mind. Not really. I love my kids. I love them.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Am I a bad mum for telling a little white lie?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Not at all?
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Okay, So Holly is the kid that is not really
scared of much, right, So she will pick up spiders,
she will kill ants. I'm allergic to green ants, as
we know. She just squashes them with their finger. I'm like, oh,
whether you're allergic or not.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
They're really painful.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
It.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yeah, she doesn't care about anything like that. It wouldn't
FaZe her. If she saw a snake like nothing like that.
She will swim in the ocean. Doesn't even think about
sharks like that. Stuff doesn't bother her at all. There's
one thing that she has always hated and still hates
to this day, and that's a gecko. She absolutely hates gecko.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Who's geckos? I see through a lizard.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I love them.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Harmless. They are not even gonna like. They don't want
anything to do with you.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
They're harmless unless you eat them.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
You're eating geko.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
No, No, this is an actual story. This actually happened.
I'm pretty sure it was definitely in Australia. Yeah, there
was a guy so we're going off talking, but there
was a guy who they had like a kid's birthday
party or something, and the kids were like messing around,
like daring each other to eat a gecko for whatever reason,
they were kids, And for some unknown reason, the dad
(02:39):
stepped in and went a ate the gecko. He died
from what he died, No, because they're so full of disease.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
He died, well, he took a hit for the kids. Luckily,
I want to talk about that particular birthday party. If
your kids are sitting around fucking daring each other to
eat geckos, we need to talk about your kind of
birthday party.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
A physician, I was like, I can.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Come up with a few different party tricks to not
have them eating geckos.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Just ever.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Hates gekos them, Thank god.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
No.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
She had one in their bedroom right and it was little.
It was like a baby gecko and she just started screaming,
there a ge go in my room. It's bedtime. At
that point, I just go to sleep. I've gone in
and quiet this geko. Like, honestly, it's so fast, like
I'm chasing this gecko around the room, like she stood
(03:39):
outside the door. It's then gone behind them. I'm like,
I'm never getting this geko reach, Like it's so fast,
like I just can't get to it. So I've done here.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
It comes in a little mom would do, and.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I've gone got it. I'm going to go and let
it out in the garden. So I've walked down and
I've let it out in my hands and I'm like,
oh good, Like the gecko's gone happy. If you go
to bed she's gone to bed.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
We're all good.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Two nights later, h she comes screaming out of the room.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
They ain't Gecko in my bed.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I'm like, that's the same fucking Gekko. That's the same one,
the same size, looks the same. It's inner bed. I
was like, Okay, I'll get it, don't worry. She's outside
the room. She's like hyperventilating my cup. Believe it in
my bed? It was touching me.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
How long has it been in there?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
And I've actually been able to catch it, truthfully catch
it and I've got it in my hands, and I'm like,
I've gone over to it. And because I'm telling the
truth this time, I'm like, look, have a look in here, Geko,
you can see it.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I'm going to go and.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Let it outside. I've gone and let it outside, and
we're all good apart from she's thinking.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
She's thinking and thinking and it's going over and ticking
over and mind and she's turned to me and she's gone,
you didn't catch it the other day, did you? I
think you pretended to get it and then you told
me you'd got it. You went downstairs, you let it
out in the garden. But there was nothing there to
(05:22):
let out, and you left it in my room and
you didn't tell me, and then it ended up in
my bed. I was like, that's exactly what happened.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
That's exactly what happened.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Yes, yeah, because I wanted you to go to bed.
You've got nothing, You've got nothing to come back on.
It's not like you're saying no, I didn't do it.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
No, You're never gonna believe me ever again. And she
even said to me, she said, I asked you to
swear on your life. And I was like, yeah, but
swearing on your life, it's horrible, like I do that. No,
I'm telling the truth.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I'm telling the truth now like you saw it. It
was there, But I'm not swearing on anyone's life.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
It's bad. And I didn't swear on anyone's life the
other night. So that's your fault. That's on you. That
was your story. You heard that, not me. Oh my gosh, that.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Is so good, because I genuinely just to wrap up
in Africa, Gracie literally said to me.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Mam, there's Geko on my bed. Mom, and I.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Had again the face through the net. Momm I just
had to get home in bed the geko was on
my leg. I was like thinking in my head, is
it a gecko? Like, why would a gecko climb underneath
the sheet, underneath.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
The douvet run over your legs.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Yeah. I had to then prove a point because it
was like three o'clock in the morning, it was on
the second night.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
We'd only been there two nights. And then I literally
pulled it back in. There was his baby geko, and
I was like, thank god it wasn't a scorpion or something.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Do you know what I reckon because I have never
in my life ever I like geckos, and I have
never had a gecko in my bed ever in my life,
nor have I known anyone to have a geko yeah
in there, But I reckon. They can tell that she
didn't like them. You don't know how they say, like
horses can smell your fear, and dogs.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
And some cats don't like people.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah, cats like people that don't like them. So the people,
you know, people that walk in and go, oh my sorry,
I don't do cats, and you're like okay, yeah, and
then they just like gravitate to that person like magnetic force.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yeah, well my cat Nala, you know, she doesn't like anyone.
She doesn't like the world like you. Arches her back,
like fuck off. She doesn't like anyone.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
The only person she likes my dad, who's like really allergic.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
He's the only person she.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Will go and jump and still on his lap. I'm like, who,
even Ei Nala, you don't sit on anyone's lap. Dad's like,
God is puffer out, can't breathe.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Not only did you try and kill him falling over
the back of the boat, also trying to kill him
with your cat.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
He's never coming back to Australia. Breathe, Sorry, Dad,
