because back to school time, and I didn't like school
very much. My mom would pretty much let me have
anything I wanted at the office supply story. Get ready
for school because she wanted me to get excited. Same
with clothes, you know, she'd let me go get a
bunch of outfits and stuff because she figured, well, I'm
gonna bribe this kid one way or the other. But

really expensive mechanical pencils, the one with a little button
on the side. She's like, you're gonna lose those, and
she was right. So she get me the big ones
that had like a different little color clip on them.
So I had a lot of those, but I never
so now every now and again I'll go buy the
really expensive mechanical pencil. They probably have fifty of them,
just because I got big boy money. Now, you know

like the first cup of coffee every day.

shopping for a new electric toothbrush. I was looking at
you know, the colors, the heads, like the features, and
he was like, you still haven't bought this, and it's
like I can afford it, but I wanted to just
get it just right, and I'm in the.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Market for one. I'd like to know what you decided.

you decided, since it was it was endorsed by OBJ,
like the one that I chose. I don't know why,
but yeah, yeah, he's fine.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
But Paulina, anything just the most. I mean, you're a
mom now all kinds of stuff. It's just I don't

dollars for this piece of paper that I'm not gonna use.
I'm still gonna use my phone calendars. It's how I
know what I have going on. But I'm gonna go
on my calendar. I'm gonna write stuff down now just
to say I did it, and then just close it
and probably never look at it again.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
But it makes make me so happy when it arrives.
It's like fresh, it's clean.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
The smell of it, and then to think that I
have things to do makes me happy.

like this one. I'm like I put in the studio.
I'm gonna write down all my ideas as they come
to me. I carry another fancy one in my backpack.
I probably got four on my desk at home, and
it's with the best intention, Like we're content people, so
like I'm going to carry it around and when I
come up with something, I forget ninety percent of the
things that come into my brain.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Oh, Ruvio's got one too ye in here, and I'm just.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Gonna write it down and guess what, I don't because
I'm I don't want to mess it up because it's
a brand new notebook and I don't want to mess
it up. There's so much responsibility to write in a
brand new notebook. Yeah, and what if I don't write
it properly and then I mess up the whole brain
it's perfect and then I screw it up. So I
just have tons of notebooks that I've never written in
because I will uh huh.
