I know you're aware. Yes, that was just checking. Do
you know what? Though? It was very cute for me,
like my two little girls made it very special. My husband,
he went out of his way to make it special.
But there's one thing that I think we've been led
to believe is really just wonderful and romantic and sweet
(00:37):
and makes you feel like you're all loved. And I
was sitting there whilst I was being forced into enjoying it,
and I thought to myself, am I all my own
with this? Am I the only person who actually doesn't
enjoy this at all? And it is breakfast in bed?
Hear me out.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
I don't have to hear you out. It's terrible.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
It's terrible. It's so overrated.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
You want croissant crumbs for you sheep.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I don't know who even rated it in the first place.
Like what mum in the history of being a mom
thought I want breakfast him. I want my kids to
make me some burnt toast and bring it to me
in bed.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
I get where it's because with a couple of because
the toddler can't carry it.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
But at the end of the day, the mum gets
to stay in bed longer. That's what it is.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
I'm going to hang out here for a couple of
hours to breakfast ready, Like you don't get to do
that any other day.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
So I get where it started.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
There are mums all over the world putting up with
the shitter's breakfast and the crumbs in the bed because
they want to stay in bed.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
This is true, to be fair, it was actually a
delicious breakfast because my children didn't make it. They went
to the cafe. But what that meant is is like
the day had started, like I was awake, I was
ready to get up, and so they came in first
and did like this whole happy Mother's Day thing was
so cute. I have no way am I going to
criticize the excitement of Mother's Day. It was really beautiful.
(01:45):
But then it was like they remembered because there were
only five and four that breakfast in bed isn't obligatory
part of Mother's Day, and so we'd already done the
happy Mother's Day thing. I was about to get out
of bed, so then Matt was like, okay, well, we
can go to the cafe. So then the kids, he
takes the kids, they go to the cafe. They come
back about forty minutes later, and I'm up. I'm doing
(02:05):
stuff and I hear them come in and they are
trudging the stairs with the coffee and the bread and
the smashed avocado with lemon, and they're like, Mom's got
to still be in bed. So I had to run
down the hallway, get back in bed, pretend like I
wasn't dressed for the day, laying in bed, and then
I had to eat my avocado cold avocado toast in bed,
and they sat there and they watched me eat every
(02:26):
single bite.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
The sacrifices you make sounds terrible, Laura.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I was like, why am I being torting for me
and your mother?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Do you know what I think? I don't want to
trump you, but I want to add to it.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I this is not a competition, but I sit in
my page.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
I don't want to be a stoytopper, and it's not
a storytopper, but it's just something that I think is
on par with things that people.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Think are romantic but are not. A floating breakfast.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I can't say I've ever had one brit I think
guys take a floating breakfast over it much, you know,
like you go.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
To Bali, you're a little hotel and it's always an option,
like you don't have to have it, but they when
you check in, they're like, hey, do you want the
floating breakfast?
Speaker 1 (02:59):
And you're like, yeah, why not? That sounds lit.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
All of a sudden, you're in the pool, your breakfast
is floating away. I have to tell Ben to stop
splashing his long limbs around because the pool.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Waters going on the food.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
And I'm like, this is actually not what I thought
it would be. But also mantree of getting into the
pool at eight am in the morning or seven thirty whenever,
Like I'm a mom, I'm up at six thirty. I'm
not getting in the pool to eat my breakfast at
six thirty.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
And you have to because you can't have a floating breakfast,
not in the pool the only time you can't have
a stable breakfast on a floating tray.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Do you not just put it on the side of
the pool.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
You can, but you have to live with that that
you had a floating breakfast that wasn't floating, that.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Was on the ground. You're gonna be okay. I think
the only time when a breakfast in bed is acceptable
is when you're really hungover. That's like been the one
time that I've thoroughly enjoyed it. Well. Look after really
unpacking this far far deeper than I ever should have have,
I've come up with a list, a list of things
that people think are traditionally romantic which we should just
put in the bin. We shoul all talk about how
they kind of suck, and everyone collectively thinks they suck,
(03:55):
but no one's saying it out loud. Yeah, all right.
Having a bath with a lover oh terrible.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Add to that as well, doing the deed in the
bath in water. It doesn't work. And anyone that thinks
it's good and romantic and sex it's not.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
In the shower not bad, but that's not We don't
have to go.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I've got one.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
This happened to me not in a long time, when
someone like thinks that they're an amateur musician or something
and they play the guitar and sing to my Yeah,
I had was It was not bad, but it's like,
what do you do? It's like a concept for one
like what do you want me to do? To remain
undies at you.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
My ex was a musician. He was actually very good,
so I shouldn't I shouldn't poopoo him, but he would
serename me from time to time, and looking at the time,
I feel at the time I thought it was really cute,
and now looking back at it, I'm like, Wow, that's
kind of cream, isn't it? Okay? Something else that I
think potentially could be great? But you're taking a risk.
Surprise holidays now, hear me out, No, that's all right,
hear me. I know that there's gonna be people who disagree.
(04:52):
But if you are a busy person, if you've got work,
if you've got stuff, if you I'm talking like complete surprise,
get to the airport, a bag has been packed for
you. You didn't get to pack your own things. You didn't
get to pack your own taller trees. I think it's
really romantic in theory, but I think in practicality it's
it's kind of annoying.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I don't think many people are.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Doing it to that level where they're like meet me
at the airport with a bad klava on their.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Head, like I think most people usually know, like hey,
tomorrow or yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I think usually you've got.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Like a day or two notice.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Okay, I have one more for you. Public surprise proposals.
Speaker 1 (05:23):

Speaker 3 (05:24):
I love love, Give me all the romance, private, public,
anywhere flash dance proposal. I would have died for a
flash dance dead, deceased, Bury me, bury me in my
