DJ Nick (00:07):
Welcome to the Dysfunction Junkies podcast.
We may not have seen it all,but we've seen enough.
And now here are your hosts,Chrisy and Kerry.
Kerry (00:19):
Hello, hello, dysfunction Junkies.
I'm Kerry
Chrisy (00:24):
and I'm Chrissy
Kerry (00:25):
Welcome to your safe space and, for those of you that
might be just joining us, thankyou for finding us and coming
into our little safe space here.
You know, Chrisy and I justlike to talk about life and all
the dysfunctions that we'velived through or currently
living with, and just everythingaround us.
So we hope that you enjoy ourcandid conversations and, and
(00:47):
again, welcome.
Chrisy (00:48):
Yes, I hear from a lot of people so far which has been
very rewarding and wonderfulthat there's pretty much not
anything that they can't relateto.
Yeah, as far as what we discusshere.
So, and yes, we probably wedon't all experience the exact
same thing, but there'ssomething in what we experience
that people get.
Kerry (01:08):
Yes.
Chrisy (01:09):
Or you realize you were dealing with it and maybe at
that moment you didn't know youwere dealing with it.
Kerry (01:15):
Or maybe you're the lucky ones that are going like, holy
crap, I'm so glad I didn't growwith that, or I'm not dealing
with that and you have a normallife.
So God bless you if you do yeah.
I don't exactly know what thedefinition of normal is.
Chrisy (01:29):
Because, as normal as you might think, you are the
more normal you think you are,the less normal you really are.
Kerry (01:36):
Oh, that's so true.
That's so true.
Oh my, so we're here inFebruary.
It's, you know, gloomy asalways here in Northeast Ohio,
but the one ray of sunshine thisweekend is Valentine's Day.
Chrisy (01:49):
Valentine's Day, the day for lovers, I guess.
Wear your red and your heartsand give cards.
Kerry (02:00):
I guess, yes, get the flowers.
Have you ever been that kind ofperson that wears the clothes
to match the theme of the season, like, will you wear red on
valentine's day and green onsaint patrick's day?
Or?
Chrisy (02:12):
red on valentine's day yes, yes okay I have the heart
leggings oh my god, you'rereally yeah and probably heart
earrings yeah, because I meanit's mean, it's to me pretty Now
when we get into St Patrick'sDay in a month from now.
But just to give you a littlepreview, I am not Irish and we
(02:34):
went to a Catholic Irish highschool.
Kerry (02:36):
Yes, we did.
Chrisy (02:37):
So we were told that we were Irish, even if we weren't
Exactly.
Yes, which I don't know.
That that's a nice thing to say.
My husband is half Irish, okay,so the Irish people are
wonderful.
Yes, I work for a lovely Irishfamily, okay, and I love Cillian
Murphy.
Kerry (03:00):
Who is Irish.
That was a good accent there.
You got that down.
He's beautiful, so are yousaying then, yes, you'll wear
green on saint patrick's day?
Chrisy (03:09):
I don't, though, because I don't feel it's my right to,
because I'm not, and I know thatthey're like, but on saint
patrick's day, everybody isirish, my god, you do that so
good no, I don't want to beinsulting I well, no, actually I
think I do have one.
I did break down and I didfinally buy because I was
wearing our high school.
I had some shirts, yeah, that Ibought actually, I think when
(03:30):
my niece was going to the highschool she was selling some
shirts for softball or something.
So I do have like a baseballshirt that has, uh, you know,
our logo and stuff on it.
Yeah, and I would wear that.
And I did break down and justfinally buy a shirt and, because
my kids have irish ancestry,now they have, uh, irish shirts
(03:51):
but, and I will dress them upfor valentine's day too.
So, okay, yeah, so I do, I wear, I wear the themes, I guess.
Kerry (03:57):
Yes, I do I don't ever think about it.
And then I get to work andeveryone's wearing red and I'm
like, oh yeah, I should havedone that, or they'll be on on
the same pageant everyone'swearing green.
Oh yeah, on Halloween, you knowthey'll come in dressed in a
costume.
I'll be like, oh, I didn'tthink about that.
Like I missed.
I missed the boat and I haven'tlearned.
Chrisy (04:13):
So yeah, that's all right yeah, it's all right
because it can be pressure, andthen when you forget to do it
and you wanted to this year Ihad a lot going on so I forgot
to wear some of my christmasleggings and then I have to
rotate them and put them backdown to the bottom of the pile
of leggings because now they'reout of season.
Kerry (04:34):
Now they're out of season 12 months away from that yeah
so what I don't understand,though, is with this whole
valentine's day is the sweetestday, and valentine's day is it
like this, the thing they'rejust trying to do it in two
different months, like and withsweetest day.
I don't think it's reallynationally recognized.
I think that's more of aNortheast Ohio thing, like I
remember when we were in highschool, sweetest day was a big
(04:55):
thing, like you'd get to buy acarnation and you'd get a
carnation.
Well, I never got anycarnations, but in any case, you
could buy her something.
Chrisy (05:01):
Your friend didn't go to school with us.
Kerry (05:05):
I know, but other people were dating people that didn't
go to school and they made surethey found a way to buy it.
They'd have someone, like hedidn't come to you and say, hey,
chrissy, could you buy this forCarrie so she gets a carnation?
No, I just got nothing.
Chrisy (05:16):
Oh yeah, she could, yeah you could have done.
Kerry (05:21):
Yeah Well, maybe that's why we're not together, but yeah
, so, like Sweetest Day, I'malways like it always surprises
me, because I'm like what isthis?
And then we have Valentine'sDay.
Chrisy (05:32):
Valentine's Day is more legit.
This is my opinion.
Yes, please share, because it'sbeen around for a while and I
guess you put the word saint infront of it.
Oh, there you go.
Kerry (05:42):
Oh my god now patrick state saint.
Chrisy (05:45):
Oh yeah, there's a theme there yeah, now as far as who
now this is gonna sound, I getremember carrie good, chrissy
bad.
Um, I don't know.
Was saint valentine a person,and did we have to go to mass
for saint valentine?
I don't think that's I don't.
Kerry (06:02):
It was not a day of obligation, and what was?
Chrisy (06:03):
the fat cherub about With a weapon.
Who gave the fat cherub aweapon?
And they have the ability tofly, they could.
That just seems destructive.
Kerry (06:14):
I don't think that had to do with the religious end of St
Valentine.
I think that became more of thehallmark part of the Valentine.
Chrisy (06:20):
Oh, like, oh, okay, I don't know.
Oh my gosh, it's terrifying.
Now, Now, sweetest day, I'mwith you.
I remember it kind of cominginto its own when we were in
high school, yeah, but when wewere in grade school, I don't
remember us having anyacknowledgement of that, so that
must be.
We'd have to do some researchon that.
(06:41):
When?
Kerry (06:42):
Right, it's in October sometime.
Chrisy (06:44):
It is in October.
Like the 20th or whatever,usually like the second weekend.
Dj Nick.
Kerry (06:49):
Google that.
Chrisy (06:49):
Yeah.
Kerry (06:51):
When did St or Sweetest Day become a thing?
We just wondered.
Chrisy (06:53):
But no Valentine's Day.
Yeah, it's been around a longtime.
You guys are quick.
I was looking up St Valentine.
Kerry (07:00):
No, no, we're not, we moved on, we moved.
Chrisy (07:03):
But so yeah, they're different times of the year.
Some people will probably tellyou that both are Hallmark
holidays as you said, to helpthat industry out, but isn't
everything that we celebrate ingeneral some sort of bigger
monster trying to keep the moneyout there circulating, which
(07:27):
isn't a bad thing?
I love being a consumer.
Kerry (07:31):
DJ Nick, what'd you find?
It is a Northeast.
Chrisy (07:33):
Ohio thing Carrie.
Kerry (07:34):
I was like how did you come up with that?
Because when I lived out west,people didn't know what it was.
You never saw it.
So please share.
Chrisy (07:39):
According to Wikipedia, the first Sweetest Day was
observed in October 1921 incleveland, ohio and it does
attribute sweetest day to agreat lakes region thing oh, so
that's, there so you it.
Maybe it is like a northeast itis a northeast ohio thing.
Yeah, okay so do they not havegreeting cards for it?
Kerry (08:00):
no, that's what I'm saying is somehow, um, when I
was living out west I don't evenknow how it came up, but I was
probably talking to somebody athome and they were saying, what
are you doing for sweetest day?
And I was like whoa, I forgotabout that.
And then like, just throughconversation, yeah, there was no
sweetest day cards.
There was no, yeah, so it wasnot a thing out there.
So, thank you, dj nick, thatwas good.
Chrisy (08:20):
So it's a distraction from, in my opinion, the best
holiday Halloween.
You got to focus on that.
I mean, it's just a couple ofweeks Now.
You're trying to take me out ofthe Halloween mode for this.
Kerry (08:34):
But you know why.
You know it's not a legitimateholiday.
It's because there's no moviethis sweetest day.
That almost wasn't, oh my God.
Chrisy (08:44):
There's not.
I'm going to start working onthat script.
Kerry (08:46):
Is there a Valentine's Day movie that we need, or a
cartoon?
Chrisy (08:49):
Well, Charlie Brown had a Valentine's show, I think,
yeah, no, I don't think there'sreally I mean.
Kerry (09:01):
I'm sure there's cartoons that have that as a theme, but
nothing that's made an impact Amajor release.
Right, okay, yeah, wow, that asa theme, but not but nothing
that's made a major release.
Right, yeah so, but yeah, wow.
So did you have to do all thoselittle treat bags and stuff
like did your school, because weboth went?
Chrisy (09:11):
you went to catholic grade school right, yeah, so did
I for the most part.
Yeah, I left for a few years.
Kerry (09:17):
Right, I did back in catholic, so you know when we
were growing.
I don't know about your school,but in my catholic grade school
it was one room like all yourclass, all day, one teacher, one
room.
Like we didn't switch like youdo in high school and stuff.
I didn't experience that until Iwent to high school.
So eight years, one classroom.
So you know, basically you'rein the room with the same kids
(09:39):
for eight years.
You know the same 20 kids wewent to school with.
So how did you feel about thewhole treat bag and Valentine's
Day?
Chrisy (09:48):
situation when we were young, we did have a Valentine's
party.
Kerry (09:53):
Okay, in grade school.
Chrisy (09:55):
And our situation was similar to yours as far as how
the grade school operated.
I do remember the grade schoolI went to had two of every grade
.
Kerry (10:02):
Oh, so there was two.
You were a bigger school.
Chrisy (10:04):
Well, it's hard for me to imagine, because your goal
was on outside of the city and,yeah, mine was inside.
So I guess, yeah, I'm probablyat the time when I was there.
Kerry (10:14):
Yeah population was still fairly high, so yeah, we only
had one classroom of each grade.
Chrisy (10:19):
Yeah, so some years you would have, it would change up
as far as who the kids were inyour class, because some of them
might have been in the otherclass Okay, gotcha.
And we didn't generally changeclasses for anything.
You didn't go for lunch in a.
We didn't have a cafeteria.
Kerry (10:33):
Right, you ate in your classroom.
Chrisy (10:35):
Now for science, for specific types of subjects,
sometimes you did have to changebecause the other grade teacher
may have been the one in chargeof teaching science or math.
Kerry (10:47):
But did the teachers switch rooms, or did the class
switch rooms, or did they justswap teachers?
Chrisy (10:53):
No, the class, so you would go over to that classroom.
You'd go over to that classroom.
And some kids might come overto your classroom to change for
that subject oh, okay.
But Valentine's Day definitelywas a thing.
But treat bags, yeah, I onlyremember experiencing when I've
had kids, when we, I think Ithink we had a party and I think
maybe some parents would bringa treat for everybody to share
(11:16):
right and you would definitelyexchange, but we had to make
those boxes so that you couldget your little valentine, you
know.
Kerry (11:23):
And back then I mean I don't even know, because I it's
been a while since I've been hadlittle kids like the little
cheap little valentine's card,like a postcard kind of little
thing and stuff.
But we had to make a box sothat we would all walk around
the room and put, you know, hadto distribute it, and I just
remember like it wasn't requiredthat you had to give one to
every kid in the room, no, so mybox always only had like four
(11:47):
no, get out of here, I'm notkidding you, I was not popular.
I was the kind of the geeky kidthat was well corner no I doubt
that.
Chrisy (11:56):
But if they weren't giving you were probably just as
nice.
I was given valentine's becausethey were afraid I'd be sitting
there going hey Joe, you bettercough up.
I don't see your valentine.
Kerry (12:12):
They had to pay their tithe to you to keep you off
their radar.
Just give her a card.
Chrisy (12:17):
We don't want to have the wrath of that happening, but
, no, I don't remember beingrequired and I don't want to be
a lousy individual and say thatby today's standards, where I
they do, and I've experiencedthis because I had kids who went
through all of this yeah you doget.
Generally, the teacher will sendhome a list of all the students
yeah, so that you have to makesure that you know, whatever
(12:40):
you're preparing, but we and Ireally think our like little
valentine's cards that we hadback in the late 70s early 80s,
just like everything else, theywere way cooler yeah I mean not
that the ones just now.
They're so spread thin becauseyou can get bluey valentine's
and you know, uh, all theseother cartoons that are big,
(13:02):
when my kids were watching youknow Caillou oh God, no, sorry I
brought up Caillou, but yeah,all the things that were popular
then, which is lovely becauseyou can sort of choose.
To me it's like overwhelming.
Yeah, because I would want totry and find the valentine that
suited my child and each one ofthem had a different personality
(13:23):
, of course as they all do andyou're like which one does he
want, which one does she want?
right the other thing I don'tremember now did you say you do
remember creating a valentinebox for people to distribute?
Kerry (13:34):
yeah, we had.
Yeah, we had to.
That was like part of ourassignment that we had to make
sure we brought a little box inand we would set the box on our
desk and then we would all lineup and we would just go in a
circle up and down the rows todistribute into the boxes and
people knew that, oh, that seatthere is where Carrie sits, so
(13:54):
that's Carrie's box, you know,so that we would all walk around
the room at the same time soyou wouldn't see who put the
Valent's in your box or whowasn't putting them in.
Chrisy (14:04):
So they were trying to do a distraction.
Yeah, in case you didn't givesomebody.
Kerry (14:08):
I didn't, so I wouldn't know, you know, until unless
they wrote until the end.
Then we didn't open those boxesuntil we got home.
Right, like the teachers weresmart about that because they
didn't want the crying kid inthe room.
Oh my god, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So they were like okay, wedistributed them, and now when
you go home tonight you can readthem, and then I'd open up my
little pathetic box of like fourwhen I had 27 kids in my
(14:30):
classroom, so that would be 26I'm.
Do you think I'm making thisshit up?
I'm not.
I'm not lying to you.
I'm telling you.
This is how it was Well.
Chrisy (14:38):
I know you were.
Your personality was way moreappealing than mine and, I must,
I was kidding before about thefact that they just gave them to
me so they didn't have to dealwith like a horrible person, but
now I think that is the truth.
That's the truth Because I doremember having them, and I
think it was out of fear.
Kerry (14:54):
Yeah fear.
Chrisy (15:03):
Yeah, it was not out of admiration.
Kerry (15:04):
Valentine's day the holiday of providing people
things with out of fear, but thebox they'd love to hate you.
Chrisy (15:07):
That's the story of my life so I don't remember
creating the box.
If we did, it might have beenan in-school project that you
kind of just did okay but forsome reason I feel like they
just threw them in your debt.
Remember we had the desk wherethe top picked up oh, we didn't
have that our desk our desk hadthe under the seat.
Kerry (15:25):
Yeah, we didn't have those.
Chrisy (15:26):
We had the ones where yeah, I know what you mean, yeah
, you slam your fingers in itand it was fun or slam someone
else's fingers.
Kerry (15:33):
I'm sure you did that.
Oh sure, hey, come here where'smy valentine?
Chrisy (15:37):
you see what's going to happen to you.
So, but when I had my kids, andnow and I know parents
listening to this you get it.
These Valentine's boxes arelike competition.
Yeah, I mean, they have themthat look like robots and
castles and Harry Potter's youknow probably made them on some
(15:57):
3D image maker thing too.
Kerry (16:00):
Yeah, they're elaborate.
Chrisy (16:01):
I do remember making one for my daughter when she was
real little and she used itthroughout her preschool and
kindergarten year and I was soproud of it because I felt it
was so unique.
Took a shoe box and then I wentinto the craft store and I
bought a bunch of swatches ofdifferent like Valentine colored
fabrics, pinks and reds andwhite.
I basically cut them into patlike squares uh-huh and then
(16:24):
glued them onto the spots.
It looked like a beautiful, likelittle patchwork like yeah, and
I, I put her name on it andthere's a hole for you still
have that box.
I of course.
Kerry (16:34):
I was gonna say is it over there somewhere?
Chrisy (16:36):
no, it's actually in a better place.
Our studio is is in a beautifulplace, but you have to go
through a minefield of toysbecause Chrissy doesn't get rid
of anything.
Soon soon, if anybody else isinterested.
Kerry (16:48):
We'll talk about that in the future.
Maybe we can work a deal.
Chrisy (16:51):
But yeah, and then I know for my two younger ones
they actually came out with atsome of the bigger stores they
would have a blank canvas foryou to work with.
Yeah, so they had thesefantastic things that I just
thought were lovely.
It actually was like cardboardbut it looked like a mailbox,
and then it was up to you tobasically buy all the lovely
(17:12):
little thingamajigs likestickers and other things you
could paste on it and createthese beautiful little mailboxes
for them to exchange avalentine that's cute.
And then the treat bag.
I sat many hours up on my bedputting together these treat
bags for my kids the next day tjnicks rolling his eyes, shaking
me because I'm a littleobsessive about stuff.
(17:33):
I had to make sure everythingwas equal same amount of tootsie
rolls, same amount of a sucker,same amount of a sticker.
Kerry (17:40):
So you were kind of going back to like when we talked
about our parents would give usall the same gift, you know,
like it's kind of a remembranceof that we had all be equal, had
all be the same, didn't matterthat we were 10, 12 years
difference in age.
Yeah, so here you are.
All the candy has to be equal.
Chrisy (18:04):
All age.
But yeah, right, so here youare.
All the candy has be equal.
All this all the same, mydaughter went to her preschool
and kindergarten was not I guessit's private, it was it
actually had the same name asour high school.
Oh really, yeah, out there inin uh, competitive land and um
and so to be involved at anylevel.
Christmas, spring, spring,whatever they had going on there
.
Valentine's Day it was serious.
(18:25):
You had to sign up if youwanted to work any of the
parties there and then you hadto tell them OK, I would prefer
this is my number one choice,second choice, and then they
would decide it was like alottery.
Then they decide who wouldscore the parties, you know you
might not get your first?
choice depending on the amountof people.
And it was very structured andvery serious.
(18:47):
I mean because you would havethe treat bags.
You would have they would bringin food so you distribute like
food for the kids, and then youwould have a craft.
You had to create a craft foreverybody.
Oh, my god to do.
Isn't this the teacher's job?
To do all this?
Why?
Kerry (19:02):
are they having the parents do this?
Chrisy (19:03):
no, and we paid tuition to go to this place.
Oh my god.
And the teacher.
They would try to make it soundlike the teacher deserved the
day off, but she just sat thereand watched like she wouldn't
even help.
She, he, whoever it was, theywould just sit, which, now that
you bring that up, I neverthought about.
Now I'm like really agitated.
Now you're mad.
I can see your face.
I am like agitated.
Because I do remember themtelling me well, the teachers
(19:25):
get a break and they want theparents to do everything.
Kerry (19:28):
Why, why, do I have?
Chrisy (19:29):
to do everything.
Didn't I pay my tuition thismonth?
Right, yeah, it was your thecraft and then the game.
You have to do a game, you haveto come up with a game, oh my
God, to entertain.
I remember there was one kid inmy daughter's house, a little
boy, and he was like he wastrying to do the craft.
One of the crafts I created forone of the Valentine's parties
I was lucky enough toparticipate in Was I bought a
(19:52):
bunch of like these hearts and Ihad them all.
And then I had to like createall these like bags with glue,
sticks and stickers and glitterand everything.
I had them sit there and maketheir own valentines, like for
their mom and dad or sisters andbrothers or whoever they want,
grandparents, whatever.
That was really fun.
But then somebody brought insome game where it usually
required, like marshmallows orsome yeah sort of thing, where
(20:15):
you had to keep the marshmallowsstacked up, and this one little
boy was sitting there and hejust looked so unhappy and I
said what's the matter, do youneed help with anything?
And he goes.
It was the most profound thingI ever heard a child this age
say.
He's like I really just don'tunderstand why I have to do this
.
Kerry (20:31):
You're like oh, it's my spirit child.
It was my spirit child.
Chrisy (20:42):
I said oh my God child.
They said oh my god, and I hadno answer for him.
I sat there and I looked at himand I said honey, just do
whatever if you don't, don'tworry about it, the day's almost
over.
I just what do I say?
The kid nailed it.
He was the city.
I mean he looked completelydrained and he had to sit there
and stag marshmallows one on topof another and try and stick a
pretzel rod through it, orsomething.
(21:02):
I mean it was like, and I justwas like, oh my gosh, the poor
he's like, does he need help?
I really didn't.
I don't really understand and itwas like a low voice, he kind
of muttered it like he wassitting there plotting something
at the same time, like he wasgoing to jam a pretzel through
somebody's head and wow, yeah.
So god, love you parents.
(21:22):
So and I, I bought the ticket,I drank the kool-aid I had to do
it too I made the treat bags,made the valentine's boxes.
Kerry (21:30):
I don't remember our parents ever well, at least in
my school, the parents were notinvolved.
Like there was, was no like youknow class.
I don't even remember themcoming to the party at the
school.
No, like the only time I everremember, ever my parents coming
to school first through eighthgrade was like if we had a
production of something you know, like if we did a Christmas
(21:53):
play or something.
But, like daily in the classroom, there was no teacher's aid,
like it was just us 27, 28 kidsand the teacher.
There was no other assistant,there was no parent helper,
there was no, none of that.
And if we had a little likeValentine's Day party, there was
no parent there, there was no,nothing else there and I got
(22:13):
dropped off by a bus.
I got picked up by a bus.
I wasn't a walker and a carrider, like you know.
I didn't live close enoughwhere I, you know, wasn't bus,
so my parents weren't part of mygrade school experience, except
for holidays.
Chrisy (22:27):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I think, well, probably not my dad
really much at all.
Oh yeah, my dad, my father theway he worked and stuff, to not
to make excuses for it.
I think he did.
I think they had an art showand I was.
I did get, I did an art projectthat was featured.
I was lucky enough to makesomething pretty cool and I
think he did come to that.
But my mom would come for acouple of things, but no, not
(22:49):
much.
But today, which actually isprobably a good thing they
really require first of all,everybody understands this.
Kerry (23:01):
who has kids in school?
You have to be buzzed in.
Yes, right, which that was?
Chrisy (23:03):
never the case.
I mean, anybody could be in abuilding and you just didn't
question it.
I remember for my daughter'spreschool I had to go to a
specific class that required youto get background check and
fingerprinted.
The sheriffs the countysheriffs were there to conduct
this and you had to sit througha movie, which was awful, and I
(23:23):
felt like if you're an adult andyou're a parent, you have kids.
This is pretty basic stuff.
It was about like, basicallyrecognize.
I don't know why working aparty had anything to do with
recognizing a child who maybewas suffering from some sort of
abuse, which is a very serioustopic and I feel like so this is
like a child protectioncovenant.
It must have been yeah, andthat's why.
Kerry (23:41):
So, if they had, parents or anybody coming in.
They had to go through this tomake sure they weren't letting
somebody.
I get it.
Yeah, yeah, but it is a moderntime thing.
It's not what we grew up with?
Chrisy (23:50):
No, not at all.
Kerry (23:51):
Oh, I was just going to say so, kind of going back to
our Valentine's Day.
What is your best memory ofValentine's?
Did you get any good and any?
What's your favoriteValentine's Day memory?
Do you have any?
Does any stick out?
Past, present, future.
Chrisy (24:02):
With my husband, I guess you know, celebrating that day,
going out to eat or somethinglike that is nice.
No, I mean no, just no no, Ireally want to.
I'm trying to grab something.
Kerry (24:15):
I have one memory.
So when my husband and I weredating and I knew we were going
to get engaged and I knew he wasthinking about it, you know,
and we had this trip planned andit happened to have been I'm
pretty dang sure it was onValentine's weekend or somewhere
real close to that.
So we were living out in LasVegas and we would often go to
California to spend the weekend,go to a dog show, do something.
(24:38):
Whatever we were doing, Ithought for sure he was going to
propose to me that weekend andhe kind of like kept hinting
about things, like little things.
So then he picked out thisrestaurant and when we were at
the restaurant he ordered, likeyou know, the steak and lobster,
like everything he kept doing.
And so I'm like waiting for itand waiting for it, and all
(24:58):
weekend it wasn't happening.
We went for a nice, beautiful,moonlight walk on the beach in
California and I thought, oh,here it is Nothing.
Go to the restaurant Beautifuldinner, dessert, everything,
nothing.
I mean, it was just left andright.
I was getting more pissed offthat whole weekend, so mad.
And I know he says he, this isnot that, he did not plan this.
(25:23):
I'm like, I know you plannedthis, I knew, you knew that, I
thought this was happening andyou kept like getting me to oh,
it's gonna happen, no, this isgonna no.
So, um, yeah, so he didn't andno, we can happen.
Shortly thereafter I think itwas a month later oh, and it was
.
I was, I will say I wassurprised whenever it did happen
.
Chrisy (25:38):
But yeah, I'll never forget that weekend because he
tried to like take it, like makeyou think oh yeah, I was
planning that the whole time.
Kerry (25:45):
I wanted to make you feel .
Chrisy (25:47):
No, he's, I would have lied.
Kerry (25:49):
I said oh, I know that's what he was.
I knew he knew and I knew hethought that and he was playing
it up.
But he's like, no, I didn'tended up.
But he's like, no, I didn't.
No, I wasn't.
No, I wasn't.
I'm like.
I'm like, no, I don't know youare, you were doing it.
So, but that's probably my mostmemorable one, only because I
really thought we were going toget engaged that weekend well,
quickly, since we're in theromantic mood, for, yeah, how
(26:10):
did he finally propose?
so how he finally proposed is weagain.
We were living out in las vegasand we came back to oh, and I
think it was like around youknow, I think it was like Easter
weekend or something.
So it was probably late March,early April.
I just remember there was stillsnow on the ground and he was
asking my parents for permission.
He was old school about.
(26:31):
That was really sweet andwhat's really funny is he went
and asked my dad.
He got all the nerve up to askmy dad and my dad said you're
gonna have to go talk to Bonnie.
And so he had to go ask my momBecause my dad was like, well,
if Bonnie says it's okay, he hadto get the nerve up to ask my
mom that when I was in highschool my dad and I built a barn
at the property that I grew upon.
(26:53):
That was always a special place.
That property in that housemeant a lot to me up until a few
years ago and we built thatbarn.
It was always one of the goodmemories I had of my dad.
That weekend he asked myparents and then he you know he
needs to know I'd like to golook at the barn and stuff.
So he kept trying to get me togo out but it was like freaking
snowy and cold.
I don't want to go out there.
(27:17):
But he was being you, it was,it was sweet, it was very
romantic in its own little waybecause it meant something to me
and to him and stuff.
So yeah, that's wonderful.
Chrisy (27:26):
What about your story.
Well, you know, carrie, that isvery romantic, but I have you.
Kerry (27:30):
I'm sure you do Wait till you hear mine.
Chrisy (27:33):
Because I always bring out romance and happiness with
everybody I'm involved with.
Kerry (27:39):
I can't wait.
I'm on pins and needles.
Chrisy (27:41):
So my husband and I knew each other shortly after we
graduated from high school andthen we got reacquainted when we
were in college and so we wereyoung dating and we go to Taco
Bell a lot, uh-huh and otherplaces, and I usually was
driving because I had my ownride.
Kerry (28:03):
Yes.
Chrisy (28:04):
He had to borrow his mom's when he needed one.
So I generally would just drive.
And I remember we were drivingto go get some lunch from Taco
Bell Typical college kids, youknow and I turned the corner.
I can tell you the streets andeverything but I'm well I mean,
uh, new road to raccoon, oh,that talk about over there that
(28:26):
one that used to be over therein austin town that was because
it's the closest one to.
Kerry (28:31):
Yeah, it was close to you and I turned the bend.
Chrisy (28:34):
I'm sitting here trying to think what am I gonna order?
Is it gonna be tacos?
Is it gonna be talk?
I used to like to get theirtaco salads.
I don't have those anymore.
Kerry (28:41):
Yeah.
Chrisy (28:41):
And he just all of a sudden blurted it out Will you
marry me?
And I'm like what?
What did you just say?
I don't think they have that onthe menu.
I've never heard of that.
And then I think he wasoffended.
I didn't give him a quickanswer, but I can't switch gears
now.
I have to focus on Taco Bell,and now you want me to make a
(29:04):
decision about this, a lifedecision.
So we went home, ate Taco Bell,digested.
Kerry (29:11):
I needed to, like you know, digesting mentally and
physically.
Chrisy (29:14):
Yeah, yeah, and of course I said yes, but yeah, so
I I got the.
Kerry (29:21):
You're driving us to taco bell and I just love you and
can't live without you becauseyou're the only person I want to
eat taco bell with the rest ofmy life.
That's like the couple'sretreat movie.
When they talk about apple bees, well, I want to go to apple
bees.
Will you go tobee's?
Have you not seen that movie?
Chrisy (29:37):
I haven't I know it's vince vaughn's in that.
I, you and you're the movieperson.
I've seen bits and pieces of it.
Kerry (29:44):
Oh my god.
Yeah, it's basically the samething.
You'll have to watch it now.
But oh, that's actually nowthat you say that that makes the
story.
Chrisy (29:50):
So you are really looking at me with like this is
a lovely thing, and I I don'tfeel the same way.
I kind of like the barn and thekneeling and uh, he didn't,
wasn't prepped for a yes, uhanswer.
I guess because there was noring exchanged at that time,
(30:10):
okay, but to give him credit, wewere only 19 years old.
Oh, so we were very young Now.
He did ask my father forpermission, but it was after he
got he wasn't going to commit toasking dad and I just remember
being really mad about one thingbecause I hovered you had to go
into my dad's lair to find him.
(30:31):
And Nick was brave enough to godown into that lair.
And I hovered upstairs on thesteps to listen.
I wanted to hear this yeah,because you know, oh, my god my
dad's gonna have to focus on mefor one second.
I'm finally gonna get attentionfrom dad.
What's dad gonna do?
And I'm like, I told him, Iwarned him, I said just make
(30:52):
sure that when you're going downthere, time it right you have
to go when there's a commercialon, because he will not pay
attention to you.
Oh my god I, I God, I wasalways really good at
communicating with my father inlike 90 seconds to like a minute
20, because you had to get himdoing commercials.
Kerry (31:08):
Catch it on the 25 after the hour, when the commercials
were longer, right.
Chrisy (31:12):
Oh, my God Boy, you got a lot of attention right then
and I sat there and listened tomy father.
He talked to my father and saidI really, you know, love her
and I'd like to marry her, andmy father didn't say anything.
And then this is what pissed meoff.
My father says you know, Ireally just want to make sure
you finish college, nick.
Nick, hello, I'm in college too.
(31:36):
Yeah, I guess nick will finishcollege.
What do you think I'm gonnaruin his life?
Hello, whose kid am I?
Yeah, is he your kid, or am I?
I know I just that like threw meback dad was worried, but now
nick and since has tried toexplain this to me he wanted to
make sure that he was giving hisdaughter to somebody who was
gonna provide and that's how Itook it when you said that.
Kerry (31:58):
so I was like, oh, he just wanted to make sure his
daughter was somebody who isgoing to provide and see, that's
how I took it when you saidthat.
So I was like, oh, he justwanted to make sure his daughter
was provided for, not me?
What?
Chrisy (32:05):
They're going to finish college.
I hate to see you ruin yourlife with that one, oh honey.
Kerry (32:10):
Yeah, no, I don't think my dad was.
Chrisy (32:12):
I don't know what he was thinking.
Kerry (32:14):
Did you get the question and everything in within 90
seconds of?
It was quick.
Oh, I do, it was quick.
Chrisy (32:21):
The show came back up, nick was already upstairs.
It was perfect, Aw, so yeah itwas romantic.
I guess in my way, that's myromance, I will have to say.
Kerry (32:31):
I will say because you know I was married before.
Actually, my husband and I, weboth have been married.
This is our third marriage.
So we both joke around and saythird time's a charm for both of
us.
But my second husband he didpropose to me at Chi-Chi's, so
we have a connection.
We have a Mexican food.
Chrisy (32:48):
And I did love Chi-Chi's and I'm very excited I've heard
that they might be coming back.
Oh my God, now I really got towatch because, believe me,
probably a lot of my weight thatI had at that time was
overdoing it at the cheese.
I'm I'm thrilled that we havethe connection with the Mexican
food.
I'm sorry that, although Iguess I'm not sorry because, no,
(33:10):
you know the guy you have nowhe said third time is a charm.
Kerry (33:14):
And he is golden, he's golden.
You know, you know, even thoughI was married before I don't I
don't have any animosity,nothing like that.
You know, it's made me who I amand I both, my husband, I both
say that if we would havemarried each other first, we
probably wouldn't have neverlasted.
You know, we needed those otherrelationships to learn who we
(33:34):
are, learn how to be in arelationship and everything.
Chrisy (33:36):
So and I yes, I, I believe that to be true for some
people On the other side ofthat, with me and my husband,
because we have been married.
Kerry (33:45):
Yeah.
Chrisy (33:46):
We both got married at 20.
We were both 21.
It was not always beautiful, no, and when you're that young and
you get married, there's a lotyou have to learn, not just from
each other and what thatrelationship means, but for
yourself, yes, and you gothrough, at that age age, a very
(34:08):
selfish period especially me.
Yep uh, and I will admit, I washorribly selfish and was sorry,
chrissy, but now before I wasselfish but wouldn't admit it,
and now I'm selfish but I admitit.
Yeah, that's true so I alwaysknew nick had some way of
understanding me, yeah.
Kerry (34:24):
And Find that that is and that's how I feel about Jim
Like he gets.
He gets my broken self andthat's what I always say to him.
I'm like so broken and he's theonly one that can figure it out
.
Chrisy (34:33):
Yeah.
Kerry (34:34):
Yeah, well, I'm excited then Maybe we'll have some good
stories after Valentine's Day.
I want to hear Is?
Chrisy (34:39):
there a friends, valentine, a friendstine.
Oh, how do?
Kerry (34:43):
you call that.
Like there was Friendsgiving.
Chrisy (34:46):
Is there friendstine, a friendstine?
I don't know.
You show up with wine and acarton of cigarettes or
something we could do whateverwe want.
Kerry (34:54):
I don't want chocolate.
Chrisy (34:55):
I don't want cigarettes either.
No, no, no.
Kerry (34:57):
Not promoting, but I'm sure we could figure something
out.
Chrisy (35:01):
So yeah, cause some people feel like they're very
lonely on Valentine's day Causeit's so much, oh isn't that what
they call Galentine's day.
Kerry (35:07):
I think that's what that is that Galentine gals, where
the girlfriends get togetherGalentine.

you think are just sayingexactly what's in your heart

Kerry (35:35):
I don't think so, and I'm just saying I'm not opposed to
getting flowers.
So you know, jim, if you'relistening, you know a girl still
likes to get flowers, evenafter 20 some years of marriage.
Chrisy (35:44):

Welcome to the Dysfunction Junkies podcast.
We may not have seen it all,but we've seen enough.
And now here are your hosts,Chrisy and Kerry.
Kerry (00:19):
Hello, hello, dysfunction Junkies.
I'm Kerry
Chrisy (00:24):
and I'm Chrissy
Kerry (00:25):
Welcome to your safe space and, for those of you that
might be just joining us, thankyou for finding us and coming
into our little safe space here.
You know, Chrisy and I justlike to talk about life and all
the dysfunctions that we'velived through or currently
living with, and just everythingaround us.
So we hope that you enjoy ourcandid conversations and, and
(00:47):
again, welcome.
Chrisy (00:48):
Yes, I hear from a lot of people so far which has been
very rewarding and wonderfulthat there's pretty much not
anything that they can't relateto.
Yeah, as far as what we discusshere.
So, and yes, we probably wedon't all experience the exact
same thing, but there'ssomething in what we experience
that people get.
Kerry (01:08):
Yes.
Chrisy (01:09):
Or you realize you were dealing with it and maybe at
that moment you didn't know youwere dealing with it.
Kerry (01:15):
Or maybe you're the lucky ones that are going like, holy
crap, I'm so glad I didn't growwith that, or I'm not dealing
with that and you have a normallife.
So God bless you if you do yeah.
I don't exactly know what thedefinition of normal is.
Chrisy (01:29):
Because, as normal as you might think, you are the
more normal you think you are,the less normal you really are.
Kerry (01:36):
Oh, that's so true.
That's so true.
Oh my, so we're here inFebruary.
It's, you know, gloomy asalways here in Northeast Ohio,
but the one ray of sunshine thisweekend is Valentine's Day.
Chrisy (01:49):
Valentine's Day, the day for lovers, I guess.
Wear your red and your heartsand give cards.
Kerry (02:00):
I guess, yes, get the flowers.
Have you ever been that kind ofperson that wears the clothes
to match the theme of the season, like, will you wear red on
valentine's day and green onsaint patrick's day?
Or?
Chrisy (02:12):
red on valentine's day yes, yes okay I have the heart
leggings oh my god, you'rereally yeah and probably heart
earrings yeah, because I meanit's mean, it's to me pretty Now
when we get into St Patrick'sDay in a month from now.
But just to give you a littlepreview, I am not Irish and we
(02:34):
went to a Catholic Irish highschool.
Kerry (02:36):
Yes, we did.
Chrisy (02:37):
So we were told that we were Irish, even if we weren't
Exactly.
Yes, which I don't know.
That that's a nice thing to say.
My husband is half Irish, okay,so the Irish people are
wonderful.
Yes, I work for a lovely Irishfamily, okay, and I love Cillian
Murphy.
Kerry (03:00):
Who is Irish.
That was a good accent there.
You got that down.
He's beautiful, so are yousaying then, yes, you'll wear
green on saint patrick's day?
Chrisy (03:09):
I don't, though, because I don't feel it's my right to,
because I'm not, and I know thatthey're like, but on saint
patrick's day, everybody isirish, my god, you do that so
good no, I don't want to beinsulting I well, no, actually I
think I do have one.
I did break down and I didfinally buy because I was
wearing our high school.
I had some shirts, yeah, that Ibought actually, I think when
(03:30):
my niece was going to the highschool she was selling some
shirts for softball or something.
So I do have like a baseballshirt that has, uh, you know,
our logo and stuff on it.
Yeah, and I would wear that.
And I did break down and justfinally buy a shirt and, because
my kids have irish ancestry,now they have, uh, irish shirts
(03:51):
but, and I will dress them upfor valentine's day too.
So, okay, yeah, so I do, I wear, I wear the themes, I guess.
Kerry (03:57):
Yes, I do I don't ever think about it.
And then I get to work andeveryone's wearing red and I'm
like, oh yeah, I should havedone that, or they'll be on on
the same pageant everyone'swearing green.
Oh yeah, on Halloween, you knowthey'll come in dressed in a
costume.
I'll be like, oh, I didn'tthink about that.
Like I missed.
I missed the boat and I haven'tlearned.
Chrisy (04:13):
So yeah, that's all right yeah, it's all right
because it can be pressure, andthen when you forget to do it
and you wanted to this year Ihad a lot going on so I forgot
to wear some of my christmasleggings and then I have to
rotate them and put them backdown to the bottom of the pile
of leggings because now they'reout of season.
Kerry (04:34):
Now they're out of season 12 months away from that yeah
so what I don't understand,though, is with this whole
valentine's day is the sweetestday, and valentine's day is it
like this, the thing they'rejust trying to do it in two
different months, like and withsweetest day.
I don't think it's reallynationally recognized.
I think that's more of aNortheast Ohio thing, like I
remember when we were in highschool, sweetest day was a big
(04:55):
thing, like you'd get to buy acarnation and you'd get a
carnation.
Well, I never got anycarnations, but in any case, you
could buy her something.
Chrisy (05:01):
Your friend didn't go to school with us.
Kerry (05:05):
I know, but other people were dating people that didn't
go to school and they made surethey found a way to buy it.
They'd have someone, like hedidn't come to you and say, hey,
chrissy, could you buy this forCarrie so she gets a carnation?
No, I just got nothing.
Chrisy (05:16):
Oh yeah, she could, yeah you could have done.
Kerry (05:21):
Yeah Well, maybe that's why we're not together, but yeah
, so, like Sweetest Day, I'malways like it always surprises
me, because I'm like what isthis?
And then we have Valentine'sDay.
Chrisy (05:32):
Valentine's Day is more legit.
This is my opinion.
Yes, please share, because it'sbeen around for a while and I
guess you put the word saint infront of it.
Oh, there you go.
Kerry (05:42):
Oh my god now patrick state saint.
Chrisy (05:45):
Oh yeah, there's a theme there yeah, now as far as who
now this is gonna sound, I getremember carrie good, chrissy
bad.
Um, I don't know.
Was saint valentine a person,and did we have to go to mass
for saint valentine?
I don't think that's I don't.
Kerry (06:02):
It was not a day of obligation, and what was?
Chrisy (06:03):
the fat cherub about With a weapon.
Who gave the fat cherub aweapon?
And they have the ability tofly, they could.
That just seems destructive.
Kerry (06:14):
I don't think that had to do with the religious end of St
Valentine.
I think that became more of thehallmark part of the Valentine.
Chrisy (06:20):
Oh, like, oh, okay, I don't know.
Oh my gosh, it's terrifying.
Now, Now, sweetest day, I'mwith you.
I remember it kind of cominginto its own when we were in
high school, yeah, but when wewere in grade school, I don't
remember us having anyacknowledgement of that, so that
must be.
We'd have to do some researchon that.
(06:41):
When?
Kerry (06:42):
Right, it's in October sometime.
Chrisy (06:44):
It is in October.
Like the 20th or whatever,usually like the second weekend.
Dj Nick.
Kerry (06:49):
Google that.
Chrisy (06:49):
Yeah.
Kerry (06:51):
When did St or Sweetest Day become a thing?
We just wondered.
Chrisy (06:53):
But no Valentine's Day.
Yeah, it's been around a longtime.
You guys are quick.
I was looking up St Valentine.
Kerry (07:00):
No, no, we're not, we moved on, we moved.
Chrisy (07:03):
But so yeah, they're different times of the year.
Some people will probably tellyou that both are Hallmark
holidays as you said, to helpthat industry out, but isn't
everything that we celebrate ingeneral some sort of bigger
monster trying to keep the moneyout there circulating, which
(07:27):
isn't a bad thing?
I love being a consumer.
Kerry (07:31):
DJ Nick, what'd you find?
It is a Northeast.
Chrisy (07:33):
Ohio thing Carrie.
Kerry (07:34):
I was like how did you come up with that?
Because when I lived out west,people didn't know what it was.
You never saw it.
So please share.
Chrisy (07:39):
According to Wikipedia, the first Sweetest Day was
observed in October 1921 incleveland, ohio and it does
attribute sweetest day to agreat lakes region thing oh, so
that's, there so you it.
Maybe it is like a northeast itis a northeast ohio thing.
Yeah, okay so do they not havegreeting cards for it?
Kerry (08:00):
no, that's what I'm saying is somehow, um, when I
was living out west I don't evenknow how it came up, but I was
probably talking to somebody athome and they were saying, what
are you doing for sweetest day?
And I was like whoa, I forgotabout that.
And then like, just throughconversation, yeah, there was no
sweetest day cards.
There was no, yeah, so it wasnot a thing out there.
So, thank you, dj nick, thatwas good.
Chrisy (08:20):
So it's a distraction from, in my opinion, the best
holiday Halloween.
You got to focus on that.
I mean, it's just a couple ofweeks Now.
You're trying to take me out ofthe Halloween mode for this.
Kerry (08:34):
But you know why.
You know it's not a legitimateholiday.
It's because there's no moviethis sweetest day.
That almost wasn't, oh my God.
Chrisy (08:44):
There's not.
I'm going to start working onthat script.
Kerry (08:46):
Is there a Valentine's Day movie that we need, or a
cartoon?
Chrisy (08:49):
Well, Charlie Brown had a Valentine's show, I think,
yeah, no, I don't think there'sreally I mean.
Kerry (09:01):
I'm sure there's cartoons that have that as a theme, but
nothing that's made an impact Amajor release.
Right, okay, yeah, wow, that asa theme, but not but nothing
that's made a major release.
Right, yeah so, but yeah, wow.
So did you have to do all thoselittle treat bags and stuff
like did your school, because weboth went?
Chrisy (09:11):
you went to catholic grade school right, yeah, so did
I for the most part.
Yeah, I left for a few years.
Kerry (09:17):
Right, I did back in catholic, so you know when we
were growing.
I don't know about your school,but in my catholic grade school
it was one room like all yourclass, all day, one teacher, one
room.
Like we didn't switch like youdo in high school and stuff.
I didn't experience that until Iwent to high school.
So eight years, one classroom.
So you know, basically you'rein the room with the same kids
(09:39):
for eight years.
You know the same 20 kids wewent to school with.
So how did you feel about thewhole treat bag and Valentine's
Day?
Chrisy (09:48):
situation when we were young, we did have a Valentine's
party.
Kerry (09:53):
Okay, in grade school.
Chrisy (09:55):
And our situation was similar to yours as far as how
the grade school operated.
I do remember the grade schoolI went to had two of every grade
.
Kerry (10:02):
Oh, so there was two.
You were a bigger school.
Chrisy (10:04):
Well, it's hard for me to imagine, because your goal
was on outside of the city and,yeah, mine was inside.
So I guess, yeah, I'm probablyat the time when I was there.
Kerry (10:14):
Yeah population was still fairly high, so yeah, we only
had one classroom of each grade.
Chrisy (10:19):
Yeah, so some years you would have, it would change up
as far as who the kids were inyour class, because some of them
might have been in the otherclass Okay, gotcha.
And we didn't generally changeclasses for anything.
You didn't go for lunch in a.
We didn't have a cafeteria.
Kerry (10:33):
Right, you ate in your classroom.
Chrisy (10:35):
Now for science, for specific types of subjects,
sometimes you did have to changebecause the other grade teacher
may have been the one in chargeof teaching science or math.
Kerry (10:47):
But did the teachers switch rooms, or did the class
switch rooms, or did they justswap teachers?
Chrisy (10:53):
No, the class, so you would go over to that classroom.
You'd go over to that classroom.
And some kids might come overto your classroom to change for
that subject oh, okay.
But Valentine's Day definitelywas a thing.
But treat bags, yeah, I onlyremember experiencing when I've
had kids, when we, I think Ithink we had a party and I think
maybe some parents would bringa treat for everybody to share
(11:16):
right and you would definitelyexchange, but we had to make
those boxes so that you couldget your little valentine, you
know.
Kerry (11:23):
And back then I mean I don't even know, because I it's
been a while since I've been hadlittle kids like the little
cheap little valentine's card,like a postcard kind of little
thing and stuff.
But we had to make a box sothat we would all walk around
the room and put, you know, hadto distribute it, and I just
remember like it wasn't requiredthat you had to give one to
every kid in the room, no, so mybox always only had like four
(11:47):
no, get out of here, I'm notkidding you, I was not popular.
I was the kind of the geeky kidthat was well corner no I doubt
that.
Chrisy (11:56):
But if they weren't giving you were probably just as
nice.
I was given valentine's becausethey were afraid I'd be sitting
there going hey Joe, you bettercough up.
I don't see your valentine.
Kerry (12:12):
They had to pay their tithe to you to keep you off
their radar.
Just give her a card.
Chrisy (12:17):
We don't want to have the wrath of that happening, but
, no, I don't remember beingrequired and I don't want to be
a lousy individual and say thatby today's standards, where I
they do, and I've experiencedthis because I had kids who went
through all of this yeah you doget.
Generally, the teacher will sendhome a list of all the students
yeah, so that you have to makesure that you know, whatever
(12:40):
you're preparing, but we and Ireally think our like little
valentine's cards that we hadback in the late 70s early 80s,
just like everything else, theywere way cooler yeah I mean not
that the ones just now.
They're so spread thin becauseyou can get bluey valentine's
and you know, uh, all theseother cartoons that are big,
(13:02):
when my kids were watching youknow Caillou oh God, no, sorry I
brought up Caillou, but yeah,all the things that were popular
then, which is lovely becauseyou can sort of choose.
To me it's like overwhelming.
Yeah, because I would want totry and find the valentine that
suited my child and each one ofthem had a different personality
(13:23):
, of course as they all do andyou're like which one does he
want, which one does she want?
right the other thing I don'tremember now did you say you do
remember creating a valentinebox for people to distribute?
Kerry (13:34):
yeah, we had.
Yeah, we had to.
That was like part of ourassignment that we had to make
sure we brought a little box inand we would set the box on our
desk and then we would all lineup and we would just go in a
circle up and down the rows todistribute into the boxes and
people knew that, oh, that seatthere is where Carrie sits, so
(13:54):
that's Carrie's box, you know,so that we would all walk around
the room at the same time soyou wouldn't see who put the
Valent's in your box or whowasn't putting them in.
Chrisy (14:04):
So they were trying to do a distraction.
Yeah, in case you didn't givesomebody.
Kerry (14:08):
I didn't, so I wouldn't know, you know, until unless
they wrote until the end.
Then we didn't open those boxesuntil we got home.
Right, like the teachers weresmart about that because they
didn't want the crying kid inthe room.
Oh my god, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So they were like okay, wedistributed them, and now when
you go home tonight you can readthem, and then I'd open up my
little pathetic box of like fourwhen I had 27 kids in my
(14:30):
classroom, so that would be 26I'm.
Do you think I'm making thisshit up?
I'm not.
I'm not lying to you.
I'm telling you.
This is how it was Well.
Chrisy (14:38):
I know you were.
Your personality was way moreappealing than mine and, I must,
I was kidding before about thefact that they just gave them to
me so they didn't have to dealwith like a horrible person, but
now I think that is the truth.
That's the truth Because I doremember having them, and I
think it was out of fear.
Kerry (14:54):
Yeah fear.
Chrisy (15:03):
Yeah, it was not out of admiration.
Kerry (15:04):
Valentine's day the holiday of providing people
things with out of fear, but thebox they'd love to hate you.
Chrisy (15:07):
That's the story of my life so I don't remember
creating the box.
If we did, it might have beenan in-school project that you
kind of just did okay but forsome reason I feel like they
just threw them in your debt.
Remember we had the desk wherethe top picked up oh, we didn't
have that our desk our desk hadthe under the seat.
Kerry (15:25):
Yeah, we didn't have those.
Chrisy (15:26):
We had the ones where yeah, I know what you mean, yeah
, you slam your fingers in itand it was fun or slam someone
else's fingers.
Kerry (15:33):
I'm sure you did that.
Oh sure, hey, come here where'smy valentine?
Chrisy (15:37):
you see what's going to happen to you.
So, but when I had my kids, andnow and I know parents
listening to this you get it.
These Valentine's boxes arelike competition.
Yeah, I mean, they have themthat look like robots and
castles and Harry Potter's youknow probably made them on some
(15:57):
3D image maker thing too.
Kerry (16:00):
Yeah, they're elaborate.
Chrisy (16:01):
I do remember making one for my daughter when she was
real little and she used itthroughout her preschool and
kindergarten year and I was soproud of it because I felt it
was so unique.
Took a shoe box and then I wentinto the craft store and I
bought a bunch of swatches ofdifferent like Valentine colored
fabrics, pinks and reds andwhite.
I basically cut them into patlike squares uh-huh and then
(16:24):
glued them onto the spots.
It looked like a beautiful, likelittle patchwork like yeah, and
I, I put her name on it andthere's a hole for you still
have that box.
I of course.
Kerry (16:34):
I was gonna say is it over there somewhere?
Chrisy (16:36):
no, it's actually in a better place.
Our studio is is in a beautifulplace, but you have to go
through a minefield of toysbecause Chrissy doesn't get rid
of anything.
Soon soon, if anybody else isinterested.
Kerry (16:48):
We'll talk about that in the future.
Maybe we can work a deal.
Chrisy (16:51):
But yeah, and then I know for my two younger ones
they actually came out with atsome of the bigger stores they
would have a blank canvas foryou to work with.
Yeah, so they had thesefantastic things that I just
thought were lovely.
It actually was like cardboardbut it looked like a mailbox,
and then it was up to you tobasically buy all the lovely
(17:12):
little thingamajigs likestickers and other things you
could paste on it and createthese beautiful little mailboxes
for them to exchange avalentine that's cute.
And then the treat bag.
I sat many hours up on my bedputting together these treat
bags for my kids the next day tjnicks rolling his eyes, shaking
me because I'm a littleobsessive about stuff.
(17:33):
I had to make sure everythingwas equal same amount of tootsie
rolls, same amount of a sucker,same amount of a sticker.
Kerry (17:40):
So you were kind of going back to like when we talked
about our parents would give usall the same gift, you know,
like it's kind of a remembranceof that we had all be equal, had
all be the same, didn't matterthat we were 10, 12 years
difference in age.
Yeah, so here you are.
All the candy has to be equal.
Chrisy (18:04):
All age.
But yeah, right, so here youare.
All the candy has be equal.
All this all the same, mydaughter went to her preschool
and kindergarten was not I guessit's private, it was it
actually had the same name asour high school.
Oh really, yeah, out there inin uh, competitive land and um
and so to be involved at anylevel.
Christmas, spring, spring,whatever they had going on there
.
Valentine's Day it was serious.
(18:25):
You had to sign up if youwanted to work any of the
parties there and then you hadto tell them OK, I would prefer
this is my number one choice,second choice, and then they
would decide it was like alottery.
Then they decide who wouldscore the parties, you know you
might not get your first?
choice depending on the amountof people.
And it was very structured andvery serious.
(18:47):
I mean because you would havethe treat bags.
You would have they would bringin food so you distribute like
food for the kids, and then youwould have a craft.
You had to create a craft foreverybody.
Oh, my god to do.
Isn't this the teacher's job?
To do all this?
Why?
Kerry (19:02):
are they having the parents do this?
Chrisy (19:03):
no, and we paid tuition to go to this place.
Oh my god.
And the teacher.
They would try to make it soundlike the teacher deserved the
day off, but she just sat thereand watched like she wouldn't
even help.
She, he, whoever it was, theywould just sit, which, now that
you bring that up, I neverthought about.
Now I'm like really agitated.
Now you're mad.
I can see your face.
I am like agitated.
Because I do remember themtelling me well, the teachers
(19:25):
get a break and they want theparents to do everything.
Kerry (19:28):
Why, why, do I have?
Chrisy (19:29):
to do everything.
Didn't I pay my tuition thismonth?
Right, yeah, it was your thecraft and then the game.
You have to do a game, you haveto come up with a game, oh my
God, to entertain.
I remember there was one kid inmy daughter's house, a little
boy, and he was like he wastrying to do the craft.
One of the crafts I created forone of the Valentine's parties
I was lucky enough toparticipate in Was I bought a
(19:52):
bunch of like these hearts and Ihad them all.
And then I had to like createall these like bags with glue,
sticks and stickers and glitterand everything.
I had them sit there and maketheir own valentines, like for
their mom and dad or sisters andbrothers or whoever they want,
grandparents, whatever.
That was really fun.
But then somebody brought insome game where it usually
required, like marshmallows orsome yeah sort of thing, where
(20:15):
you had to keep the marshmallowsstacked up, and this one little
boy was sitting there and hejust looked so unhappy and I
said what's the matter, do youneed help with anything?
And he goes.
It was the most profound thingI ever heard a child this age
say.
He's like I really just don'tunderstand why I have to do this
.
Kerry (20:31):
You're like oh, it's my spirit child.
It was my spirit child.
Chrisy (20:42):
I said oh my God child.
They said oh my god, and I hadno answer for him.
I sat there and I looked at himand I said honey, just do
whatever if you don't, don'tworry about it, the day's almost
over.
I just what do I say?
The kid nailed it.
He was the city.
I mean he looked completelydrained and he had to sit there
and stag marshmallows one on topof another and try and stick a
pretzel rod through it, orsomething.
(21:02):
I mean it was like, and I justwas like, oh my gosh, the poor
he's like, does he need help?
I really didn't.
I don't really understand and itwas like a low voice, he kind
of muttered it like he wassitting there plotting something
at the same time, like he wasgoing to jam a pretzel through
somebody's head and wow, yeah.
So god, love you parents.
(21:22):
So and I, I bought the ticket,I drank the kool-aid I had to do
it too I made the treat bags,made the valentine's boxes.
Kerry (21:30):
I don't remember our parents ever well, at least in
my school, the parents were notinvolved.
Like there was, was no like youknow class.
I don't even remember themcoming to the party at the
school.
No, like the only time I everremember, ever my parents coming
to school first through eighthgrade was like if we had a
production of something you know, like if we did a Christmas
(21:53):
play or something.
But, like daily in the classroom, there was no teacher's aid,
like it was just us 27, 28 kidsand the teacher.
There was no other assistant,there was no parent helper,
there was no, none of that.
And if we had a little likeValentine's Day party, there was
no parent there, there was no,nothing else there and I got
(22:13):
dropped off by a bus.
I got picked up by a bus.
I wasn't a walker and a carrider, like you know.
I didn't live close enoughwhere I, you know, wasn't bus,
so my parents weren't part of mygrade school experience, except
for holidays.
Chrisy (22:27):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I think, well, probably not my dad
really much at all.
Oh yeah, my dad, my father theway he worked and stuff, to not
to make excuses for it.
I think he did.
I think they had an art showand I was.
I did get, I did an art projectthat was featured.
I was lucky enough to makesomething pretty cool and I
think he did come to that.
But my mom would come for acouple of things, but no, not
(22:49):
much.
But today, which actually isprobably a good thing they
really require first of all,everybody understands this.
Kerry (23:01):
who has kids in school?
You have to be buzzed in.
Yes, right, which that was?
Chrisy (23:03):
never the case.
I mean, anybody could be in abuilding and you just didn't
question it.
I remember for my daughter'spreschool I had to go to a
specific class that required youto get background check and
fingerprinted.
The sheriffs the countysheriffs were there to conduct
this and you had to sit througha movie, which was awful, and I
(23:23):
felt like if you're an adult andyou're a parent, you have kids.
This is pretty basic stuff.
It was about like, basicallyrecognize.
I don't know why working aparty had anything to do with
recognizing a child who maybewas suffering from some sort of
abuse, which is a very serioustopic and I feel like so this is
like a child protectioncovenant.
It must have been yeah, andthat's why.
Kerry (23:41):
So, if they had, parents or anybody coming in.
They had to go through this tomake sure they weren't letting
somebody.
I get it.
Yeah, yeah, but it is a moderntime thing.
It's not what we grew up with?
Chrisy (23:50):
No, not at all.
Kerry (23:51):
Oh, I was just going to say so, kind of going back to
our Valentine's Day.
What is your best memory ofValentine's?
Did you get any good and any?
What's your favoriteValentine's Day memory?
Do you have any?
Does any stick out?
Past, present, future.
Chrisy (24:02):
With my husband, I guess you know, celebrating that day,
going out to eat or somethinglike that is nice.
No, I mean no, just no no, Ireally want to.
I'm trying to grab something.
Kerry (24:15):
I have one memory.
So when my husband and I weredating and I knew we were going
to get engaged and I knew he wasthinking about it, you know,
and we had this trip planned andit happened to have been I'm
pretty dang sure it was onValentine's weekend or somewhere
real close to that.
So we were living out in LasVegas and we would often go to
California to spend the weekend,go to a dog show, do something.
(24:38):
Whatever we were doing, Ithought for sure he was going to
propose to me that weekend andhe kind of like kept hinting
about things, like little things.
So then he picked out thisrestaurant and when we were at
the restaurant he ordered, likeyou know, the steak and lobster,
like everything he kept doing.
And so I'm like waiting for itand waiting for it, and all
(24:58):
weekend it wasn't happening.
We went for a nice, beautiful,moonlight walk on the beach in
California and I thought, oh,here it is Nothing.
Go to the restaurant Beautifuldinner, dessert, everything,
nothing.
I mean, it was just left andright.
I was getting more pissed offthat whole weekend, so mad.
And I know he says he, this isnot that, he did not plan this.
(25:23):
I'm like, I know you plannedthis, I knew, you knew that, I
thought this was happening andyou kept like getting me to oh,
it's gonna happen, no, this isgonna no.
So, um, yeah, so he didn't andno, we can happen.
Shortly thereafter I think itwas a month later oh, and it was
.
I was, I will say I wassurprised whenever it did happen
.
Chrisy (25:38):
But yeah, I'll never forget that weekend because he
tried to like take it, like makeyou think oh yeah, I was
planning that the whole time.
Kerry (25:45):
I wanted to make you feel .
Chrisy (25:47):
No, he's, I would have lied.
Kerry (25:49):
I said oh, I know that's what he was.
I knew he knew and I knew hethought that and he was playing
it up.
But he's like, no, I didn'tended up.
But he's like, no, I didn't.
No, I wasn't.
No, I wasn't.
I'm like.
I'm like, no, I don't know youare, you were doing it.
So, but that's probably my mostmemorable one, only because I
really thought we were going toget engaged that weekend well,
quickly, since we're in theromantic mood, for, yeah, how
(26:10):
did he finally propose?
so how he finally proposed is weagain.
We were living out in las vegasand we came back to oh, and I
think it was like around youknow, I think it was like Easter
weekend or something.
So it was probably late March,early April.
I just remember there was stillsnow on the ground and he was
asking my parents for permission.
He was old school about.
(26:31):
That was really sweet andwhat's really funny is he went
and asked my dad.
He got all the nerve up to askmy dad and my dad said you're
gonna have to go talk to Bonnie.
And so he had to go ask my momBecause my dad was like, well,
if Bonnie says it's okay, he hadto get the nerve up to ask my
mom that when I was in highschool my dad and I built a barn
at the property that I grew upon.
(26:53):
That was always a special place.
That property in that housemeant a lot to me up until a few
years ago and we built thatbarn.
It was always one of the goodmemories I had of my dad.
That weekend he asked myparents and then he you know he
needs to know I'd like to golook at the barn and stuff.
So he kept trying to get me togo out but it was like freaking
snowy and cold.
I don't want to go out there.
(27:17):
But he was being you, it was,it was sweet, it was very
romantic in its own little waybecause it meant something to me
and to him and stuff.
So yeah, that's wonderful.
Chrisy (27:26):
What about your story.
Well, you know, carrie, that isvery romantic, but I have you.
Kerry (27:30):
I'm sure you do Wait till you hear mine.
Chrisy (27:33):
Because I always bring out romance and happiness with
everybody I'm involved with.
Kerry (27:39):
I can't wait.
I'm on pins and needles.
Chrisy (27:41):
So my husband and I knew each other shortly after we
graduated from high school andthen we got reacquainted when we
were in college and so we wereyoung dating and we go to Taco
Bell a lot, uh-huh and otherplaces, and I usually was
driving because I had my ownride.
Kerry (28:03):
Yes.
Chrisy (28:04):
He had to borrow his mom's when he needed one.
So I generally would just drive.
And I remember we were drivingto go get some lunch from Taco
Bell Typical college kids, youknow and I turned the corner.
I can tell you the streets andeverything but I'm well I mean,
uh, new road to raccoon, oh,that talk about over there that
(28:26):
one that used to be over therein austin town that was because
it's the closest one to.
Kerry (28:31):
Yeah, it was close to you and I turned the bend.
Chrisy (28:34):
I'm sitting here trying to think what am I gonna order?
Is it gonna be tacos?
Is it gonna be talk?
I used to like to get theirtaco salads.
I don't have those anymore.
Kerry (28:41):
Yeah.
Chrisy (28:41):
And he just all of a sudden blurted it out Will you
marry me?
And I'm like what?
What did you just say?
I don't think they have that onthe menu.
I've never heard of that.
And then I think he wasoffended.
I didn't give him a quickanswer, but I can't switch gears
now.
I have to focus on Taco Bell,and now you want me to make a
(29:04):
decision about this, a lifedecision.
So we went home, ate Taco Bell,digested.
Kerry (29:11):
I needed to, like you know, digesting mentally and
physically.
Chrisy (29:14):
Yeah, yeah, and of course I said yes, but yeah, so
I I got the.
Kerry (29:21):
You're driving us to taco bell and I just love you and
can't live without you becauseyou're the only person I want to
eat taco bell with the rest ofmy life.
That's like the couple'sretreat movie.
When they talk about apple bees, well, I want to go to apple
bees.
Will you go tobee's?
Have you not seen that movie?
Chrisy (29:37):
I haven't I know it's vince vaughn's in that.
I, you and you're the movieperson.
I've seen bits and pieces of it.
Kerry (29:44):
Oh my god.
Yeah, it's basically the samething.
You'll have to watch it now.
But oh, that's actually nowthat you say that that makes the
story.
Chrisy (29:50):
So you are really looking at me with like this is
a lovely thing, and I I don'tfeel the same way.
I kind of like the barn and thekneeling and uh, he didn't,
wasn't prepped for a yes, uhanswer.
I guess because there was noring exchanged at that time,
(30:10):
okay, but to give him credit, wewere only 19 years old.
Oh, so we were very young Now.
He did ask my father forpermission, but it was after he
got he wasn't going to commit toasking dad and I just remember
being really mad about one thingbecause I hovered you had to go
into my dad's lair to find him.
(30:31):
And Nick was brave enough to godown into that lair.
And I hovered upstairs on thesteps to listen.
I wanted to hear this yeah,because you know, oh, my god my
dad's gonna have to focus on mefor one second.
I'm finally gonna get attentionfrom dad.
What's dad gonna do?
And I'm like, I told him, Iwarned him, I said just make
(30:52):
sure that when you're going downthere, time it right you have
to go when there's a commercialon, because he will not pay
attention to you.
Oh my god I, I God, I wasalways really good at
communicating with my father inlike 90 seconds to like a minute
20, because you had to get himdoing commercials.
Kerry (31:08):
Catch it on the 25 after the hour, when the commercials
were longer, right.
Chrisy (31:12):
Oh, my God Boy, you got a lot of attention right then
and I sat there and listened tomy father.
He talked to my father and saidI really, you know, love her
and I'd like to marry her, andmy father didn't say anything.
And then this is what pissed meoff.
My father says you know, Ireally just want to make sure
you finish college, nick.
Nick, hello, I'm in college too.

food.

you get married, there's a lotyou have to learn, not just from
each other and what thatrelationship means, but for
yourself, yes, and you gothrough, at that age age, a very
(34:08):
selfish period especially me.
