such a bad one. Has anybody ever had to do
this for somebody or had to do it themselves where
they had to have somebody get them out of it
or call or do something like that or what's fun? Yeah,
what's the excuse to get that they got you to leave?

I be if you have a child, no matter if
it's a date, if it's a meeting, if it's something
you just don't want to do, you can always blame
it on your children.

and I always just had a forty five minute rule,
Like the time that the date started. We always called
at forty five minutes because you know, you know, within
forty five minutes if you want to spend much more
time with that person. So it would be forty five minutes.
They would call, and you know, you would say, yep, no,
but everything's great, mom, you know, yeah, we'll talk to
(04:26):
you tomorrow and then or it would be what I
can't believe that? All right, No, I'm going to head

be like, oh my god, Ariel's running a fever or
she's throwing up. I need you to come home. And
then when Ariel got old enough to have her own cellphone,
I would text her and say, Hey, call me and
say that there's an emergency and you need me to
come home.

was having a bad date. Had my friend call tell
me that she was one babysitting my kid and that
I had to rush out to be had a project.
So I told the date I had to get out
of there. I had to go to Michael's. He needed
poster board, stickers, glue, all this stuff. The date, oh,
my god, said, oh I'll go with you. Oh no,
(07:43):
I got a freaking go to Michael's. So I go
to Michael's and I'm getting poster board stickers, glue, paint brushes, glitter,
all this crap. Get up to the counter. It's like
eighty some bucks and I don't have my credit card.

the date for Whips's credit card out paid for the whole.
