Intro (00:00):
Yapping!
Erika (00:02):
Hello, this is Erika.
Edgar (00:04):
And Edgar.
Erika (00:05):
And we are the Yapping Schnazuers. We entertain you
with the app worthy stories wefind around the web. So today's
theme is emotional fakery. Thefirst story is titled, Am I
Overreacting for Finding Out MyBoyfriend's Sister Wasn't His
Sister? As of today, I am veryupset and rethinking my entire
(00:29):
three years relationship.
But a part of me is alsowondering if the situation
wasn't that serious. So read it,I'll let you be the one to
judge. You've given good advicebefore, trust you'll do it
again. For the entire threeyears my boyfriend who we'll
call Dustin has had his sisterwho we'll call Kay. Dustin and
(00:51):
Kay have always been close.
Kay always comes over here andhangs out with Dustin. Dustin,
not me, in fact, I'm convincedshe hates me. But more on that
in a moment. Anyways, Kay andDustin always go over each
other's houses, go out to dinnerand once even went on vacation
(01:11):
without me. Every single timeKay is around she acts like I
don't exist.
I talk to her, she ignores me.She and Dustin hang out, I am
quite literally a third wheel.Now I never complain because I
always thought it's his sister,family comes first. Dustin at
one point even canceled our dateplans to go bowling with Kay.
(01:32):
Yes, without me.
I decided to visit the oldneighbor lady whom I help with
yard work. And I'm telling herabout Kay. Mind you, this lady
has lived in this town since shewas born. She knows everybody.
Usually I don't confine in herabout my life, but today was a
bad day and I needed somebody.
(01:54):
I tell her about Kay and as I'mdescribing her, the lady cuts me
off and says, that's not hissister. She said that Kay is her
coworker's daughter and has nosiblings. She has met Kay
several times and is very closefriend with the coworker. Came
home to his bags packed at thedoor. I kicked him out and told
(02:17):
him we were done.
Dustin went on and on about howKay is his best friend. He just
didn't want to lose her, allthis and that. The thing is Kay
and Dustin really did seem likea brother and sister type. Aside
from spending almost every daytogether, I never thought that
anything romantic or sexual washappening between them. But I
(02:38):
still found it veryunacceptable.
Now I am being slammed by Dustinand his family saying, I'm way
overreacting, need to talk itout, etc. So Reddit, what do you
think? Am I overreacting? Iforgot to add Dustin's parents
are dead and he rarely speaks tothe rest of the family. He says
yet now that they're comingafter me.
(03:00):
So I'm wondering if that was alie also.
Edgar (03:03):
So many lies. He's getting caught in the middle of.
Erika (03:06):
That seems so complicated. Girl, just let him
go. It's not worth it.
Edgar (03:12):
Yeah, it's too many lies and we don't even know who this
chick is. Exactly. Wait, so doesthe girl know about her? About
OP?
Erika (03:22):
Yeah, they literally hang out together and it's like she's
the third wheel instead of thefriend.
Edgar (03:29):
That's very suspicious. I
Erika (03:32):
don't trust it. I honestly, they maybe just
thinking about it this way thatyou know they're so close and
sibling like that they don'twant to try to go out with each
other because they don't want
Edgar (03:44):
to lose each other because you
Erika (03:45):
know if they end up breaking up, it's not gonna work
out after. So maybe that's whythey don't want us to take this
next step. She's basically, OPis the third wheel here. And I
think she should just break upwith him honestly. You're not
married, it's only three years,I mean it's a waste of your
time, but OP, do you reallywanna be in this type of
(04:05):
relationship?
Would you be, what do you think?Would you you let it go? Would
you forgive him or her,basically? No. You would
actually break up?
Edgar (04:16):
Yeah.
Erika (04:17):
That's a miracle. You usually give Benny chances. But
I think it's a lot of lies Ithink to be forgiving, right?
Edgar (04:24):
So
Erika (04:26):
there is an update and it says, Turns out Dustin lied
about everything. His mom isalive. Yo!
Edgar (04:35):
I feel like the entire story was alive at this point.
Erika (04:38):
Okay yeah, just break up with his ass. His mom is alive
but he has no contact with her.She ran away to Brazil and left
his grandmother to take care ofhim. His grandmother is
deceased, however, he stilltalks to three of his aunts, two
uncles and has several cousins.I feel so, so stupid.
I wasn't willing to question orpush boundaries or pay attention
(05:00):
to the red flags. Lessonlearned. I went over to Dustin's
house to grab the rest of mybelongings and guess who's
there. And guess what the livingroom is full of? Moving boxes.
Guess that didn't take long toget over. K is a new girlfriend
now and according to him he'shappier with her. His dumbass
(05:21):
left me there while he went topick her up from work. I bet he
got a nice glittery surprisewhen he turned his ceiling fan
on. Hope he has fun trying toget glitter out of his carpets
and shoes and bathtub.
I'm done and ready to move on.Thank you all for the support,
you guys are amazing. Isn't thatcrazy?
Edgar (05:39):
I know, I mean, it's just too much lies and at that point
this was like not even a realrelationship they had.
Erika (05:44):
No, it was based off of lies. There was the top comment
that says no, leave him. Heprioritized a different girl
over you so many times, lied toyour face, let her walk all over
you and overall didn't seem tocare about you at all. Leave him
for good, which thank God shedid.
Edgar (06:02):
Yeah, yeah.
Erika (06:03):
That was a lot of lies in a three year relationship. How
can you keep up
Edgar (06:07):
with lies for three years? Imagine? I like to think
maybe Ophie just wasn't aware.
Erika (06:15):
Maybe she had, I don't know, have you heard this
saying, had the rose gold, well,rose glasses on?
Edgar (06:22):
Yeah, rose tinted glasses, yeah.
Erika (06:23):
Yeah, I mean, she let it go too far. She stayed there too
long. But I'm glad she's, youknow, ready to go and move on. I
believe that he is the asshole.Big time asshole for being a
liar.
Edgar (06:40):
The next story is titled Am I the asshole for telling my
wife not to come to my ex wife'sfuneral to support my daughter
because my daughter doesn't wanther there? My ex wife died a
couple of days ago. We shared adaughter, 14, together. Our
divorce was not on the best ofterms. We were both at fault.
Nobody feuded though, but weweren't the best spouses to each
(07:03):
other. For a long time we bothtried to put our daughter first.
But after I remarried things didchange. My ex alienated our
daughter against my wife. I didwhat I could to stop it and I
made sure I tried to counteractwhat my ex was doing.
I did fight my ex in court overit. This was four years ago. My
wife was pregnant at the time soit was stressful when we
(07:25):
realized what was happening andmy wife and daughter do not have
a close or healthy relationship.My daughter shuts my wife out
because of what her mom hassaid. She has at times been rude
to my wife and I have stepped into tell her that she cannot be
like that.
I told her I can't make herlike, love, or be close to my
wife, but she must berespectful. The rudeness was
(07:47):
never a big problem, but therejection of a relationship has
remained consistent. Now my exwife is dead and my daughter is
grieving. My daughter has statedclearly she does not want my
wife or my son (3.5 years old)there. My wife wants to go to
the funeral.
She said my daughter will alwaysremember her not being there for
(08:08):
her and keeping her brother awayfrom supporting her if we
listen. She said at the veryleast she must be there. That
maybe our son is too young, butas a stepmom, if she doesn't
show up and shows she loves herthings, it would never get
better. My daughter screamed atthe top of her lungs yesterday
because she heard my wife sayshe wants to come and support my
(08:28):
daughter. My daughter stated itvery aggressively, in a way of
raw grief that my wife would notbe a comfort because she hated
her mom and nobody wants herthere.
I told my wife not to come. Isaid I will be there and I know
my daughter has mixed feelingsabout me being there but she
ultimately wants me there. Mywife expressed that she worried
it was a big risk and mydaughter would remember it as
(08:50):
her not being supportive later.And I said potentially it could,
but it could also show mydaughter that she's willing to
respect her boundaries. That'snot trying to take her mom's
place.
I told my wife it would be moredifficult now because my
daughter's mom is dead and itcan be hard to see the flaws in
people's actions when we losethem too soon. And I feel deep
down that if she comes, it willshow my daughter that she was
(09:14):
against her more. My daughtersought the advice of the family
therapist we have visited overthe years and the therapist
agreed with me. But my wife wasupset. She told me she wanted my
support and that she felt like Iwas encouraging her to not be a
good stepmom.
Am I the asshole? No. Yeah,mean, yeah, you gotta respect
her wishes of a daughter. She'slike pretty emotional at the
(09:37):
moment and hormonal probably.
Erika (09:39):
I mean, what would you do in this case? How would you try
to make everybody happy?
Edgar (09:46):
You can't really make everybody happy because you
always gotta give in those kindsof situations.
Erika (09:51):
So I would say at least he should try to talk to the
daughter. However, if she hasmade up her mind, there's just
no going back. I think he shouldrespect the wishes which is what
he's trying to do. So I wouldsay he should speak to his wife
for her to understand that it'snot about her not being there
(10:12):
for her, it's about hisdaughter's way of grieving. You
can't try to force yourself inthere because it's not gonna
help.
She'll reach out to her when thetime comes, you know what mean?
Edgar (10:25):
Or if the time comes. I feel like it looks like they
don't like each other at all andthat kind of doesn't want to go
away on its own. Yeah, I mean ifshe continues to
Erika (10:35):
show up and showing up even though she doesn't like
her, eventually she'll see, youknow, okay she was there for me.
But at least I would think.
Edgar (10:43):
So if your stepdaughter tells you not to go to her real
mom's funeral you would go?
Erika (10:52):
No I wouldn't. But I'm saying to be with her any other
time, like anything that sheneeds and she needs support, be
there for her. So eventuallyshe'll see that you're not going
anywhere and you're trying to bethere for her as a parent.
Because I mean you can't justexpect love and trust and just
being there for somebody andthem reaching out to you is just
(11:14):
automatic, you have to earnthat.
Edgar (11:16):
So if
Erika (11:16):
she hasn't earned it you can't expect somebody to give it
Edgar (11:20):
to you. So I think she just needs time.
Erika (11:23):
Not the Asshole, your daughter is grieving and
unfortunately your wife beingthere will not help her. She can
be a good stepmom by respectingher stepdaughter in this time.
Forcing her presence at suchemotional charged time is just
going to drive the wedge thatexists further in. If your wife
can't step back for a bit yourdaughter might be able to
gradually build a respectfulrelationship with her. To add to
(11:45):
this, I think the best way shecan support her is to say, I
won't be going but if you everwant to talk or need help at
all, the door is open, I supportyou.
That's it. Whether she takes heror not, that will be on her
terms. Exactly. I mean, youcan't force somebody to ask for
your help. You need to give themtime, especially at this time
(12:07):
with no grieving and all thatgood stuff.
Edgar (12:10):
And you just gotta be tactical. And like saying, like
just leaving the door open whenyou can't be there is always a
good, like a gentle nudge thatyou are there even when you're
not.
Erika (12:23):
Yeah, I agree. I think even just being a stepmom is
difficult because it depends onthe age also of the child. Like
when, let's say you're a stepmomof a two year old,
Edgar (12:34):
three year old, five year old, it's much more simple. But
I
Erika (12:38):
think when you have a 10 year old, 12 year old, 15 year
old, it's definitely a littlebit more difficult for you to
relate or try to be in theirlife without them saying oh
you're another stepmom or you'renot really my mom type of thing.
Edgar (12:51):
You're not my mom! You guys deal with that teenage
attitude?
Erika (12:55):
Well yeah, I mean but when you marry somebody and you
decide to be with that person,that person has kids, you have
to be able to deal with that andbe willing to try to tell them
that you love them regardless orat least that's what I would do,
know, if I were ever to be inthat position I would try to
(13:17):
love them as my own child. Buthowever, that's not always the
case unfortunately.
Edgar (13:22):
And you can't, yeah. You just gotta be respectful about
it.
Erika (13:25):
Exactly. So
Edgar (13:28):
So final verdict on that?
Erika (13:30):
I would say he's not the asshole at all. I don't think
anybody is the asshole, youthink?
Edgar (13:34):
Not really, maybe the daughter just because she's just
I don't know why.
Erika (13:38):
She's grieving, I don't think she's that.
Edgar (13:39):
But before then she was just like an asshole to like the
stepmom.
Erika (13:42):
Yeah, but I mean you never know, like you don't know
what she did or she does behindher, the stepdad, I mean the
dad.
Edgar (13:50):
Yeah.
Erika (13:51):
Like it's, I mean you can't just expectly think oh she
hates me because of something,you know?
Edgar (13:57):
Yeah that's true.
Erika (13:58):
So yeah, so I would say that she's not, nobody's the
asshole on this one. Okay, thenext story is, Emma the Asshole
for calling my husband adisgrace after he said my
miscarriage ruined his birthday.I miscarried yesterday afternoon
about 12PM. I've never had amiscarriage before, but this
(14:18):
baby was so wished to come alongthat I'm sobbing right now. So I
apologize in advance if itdoesn't make sense.
My husband turned 27 yesterday.I, 27 female, was pregnant with
mine and my husband's twentyseventh second child. Yesterday
I was eight weeks pregnant. Theday before yesterday we saw a
beautiful heartbeat flicking onthe screen and today I'm
(14:41):
devastated. I was playing withour two year old when I felt
pressure in my lower abdomen.
Not long later I noticedbleeding and I let my husband
know immediately that I haddiscomfort in bleeding. Before
long I had passed what I believewas the fetus. I messaged him I
think I lost the baby. I wantedto keep him updated and I guess
(15:03):
I was seeking some kind ofemotional support. I asked if he
could come home and he said ofcourse if it's urgent.
I said I think it is because thepain and bleeding is getting
worse and I'm starting to feellightheaded and our two year old
is unattended in his playroomright now. We have no friends or
family near and all I could callwas him to get here quicker. I
(15:26):
had to clean up myself, crawldown the stairs and take
medicine, make my son his lunch,and then put him down for a nap.
At this point my husband stillisn't home. He was working
approximately thirty minutesaway until closer to sixty
minutes to get back.
Hours later when I asked it wasbecause he stopped at Tesco to
pick up some beers.
Edgar (15:46):
I
Erika (15:48):
end up very poorly losing lots of blood, lightheaded,
vomiting, etc. He had to take meto the ER. By the time I was
discharged it was almost 8PM.Last week I had said I'll take
him to his favorite dinner forhis birthday, which he reminded
me when we were almost home. Isaid I wasn't feeling up to it
and that whatever takeaway hewanted it's on me.
(16:11):
He said, For F's sake under hisbreath and then he murders
something along the lines, ThisBS has ruined my birthday. He
didn't stop to get any takeaway,he just drove straight home. He
put our son to bed and I went tobed and I'm not sure what he did
after. I didn't see him in themorning as he already left for
work. He's not messaged me allday and he got home a few hours
(16:33):
ago and it's now 08:40PM andhe's been giving me the silent
treatment.
I tried to speak to him about anhour or so ago and he ignored
me. I called him a disgrace. Heslammed the bedroom door and
locked me out of the bedroom.His mom has since messaged me
and said, I need to be patientas he's also had a loss. He
(16:53):
didn't ask how I was, well shedidn't ask how I was or
anything.
He's obviously speaking to hismom but why isn't he opening up
and speaking to me? She said Iwas harsh. I'm feeling utterly
emotionally neglected right now.My body has been through
emotional and physical hell. Iunderstand my miscarriage came
(17:14):
to un I understand mymiscarriage came inconvenient
time for him as it was hisbirthday and all.
I'm not sure if the hormonesmake you feel crazy, but is it
nuts to contemplate divorce? AmI the asshole for calling him a
disgrace?
Edgar (17:32):
I think that's a pretty crazy story. She just lost a
baby and then all you can thinkabout is if you didn't get to go
to my birthday dinner.
Erika (17:39):
I'm so in shock right now. Like I'm like lost of words
here. Yeah. I the fact that Ibelieve this is a common
behavior yeah so I feel like shehas to question if this is
something that you know thatshe's overreacting. It has made
(18:02):
her feel like her feelings arenot valid throughout the
marriage.
That right now she'squestioning, should I have tried
harder? Is it my fault? Is henot a disgrace? Like did I
offend him? Was I too Like it'sinsane that right now he's
(18:23):
trying she's trying to likebasically not defend him but she
thinks that she's in the wrongin all this situation.
Edgar (18:31):
Yeah the quiet part is like this is probably like a
common behavior for OP's husbandonly now that this is the most
extreme example or the extremething that is happening, she's
realizing it.
Erika (18:42):
Oh my gosh.
Edgar (18:44):
I also feel like it's crazy, like even the mother is
kind of like, I feel like themother probably enabled this
behavior for OP's husband.
Erika (18:50):
First of all, she shouldn't be telling her you're
too harsh or anything. First ofall, you're not in their
relationship. You gotta see yourway out. And if he has time to
speak with her why can't he be aman, an adult and speak to her?
Instead of speaking to his mom.
(19:11):
Oh my gosh, I'm, you know, Ifeel so bad for OP because this
whole losing a baby eight weeksyou hear a heartbeat and you
just you see the baby like shesaw the baby and it's that's
just so traumatic that'ssomething that literally just
doesn't, you you don't forgetabout just a day after, a week
(19:34):
later, a month later. It's verytraumatic in someone's life. And
I think she needs that supportand she doesn't have anybody
near her or family. I think it'sreally sad at this point. And I
think she just needs to honestlyget divorced.
And OP, you're not nuts forcontemplating divorce. You
agree? So the top comment is: You are still at risk for (19:54):
undefined
infection at this juncture. It'sstill dangerous for you. Monitor
your bleeding and temperature.
Your marriage is sober. How longdo you stay with him is up to
you. But this means neither yourhusband nor the father material.
He cares more about what hewants than your child and
yourself. It took a crisis likethis to show you who he really
(20:18):
is and not that asshole.
I'm so sorry you're goingthrough all of this. Yeah he's
just so egocentric she needs toget rid
Edgar (20:26):
of him. So the garbage he goes and let somebody else pick
up that That's
Erika (20:33):
so frustrating.
Edgar (20:35):
Kind of right?
Erika (20:37):
No, not the asshole girl. Divorce him and get rid of him.
Edgar (20:40):
The next story is titled My now ex husband didn't want to
clean his dirty laundry off thefloor. My revenge is still
haunting him to this day. Thatsounds gross. But yeah, me, 26
female, and my now ex boyfriend,25 male, moved in together to a
different country about fouryears ago. He was already living
there for about three years andfor me it was a time to join
(21:03):
him.
Let me tell you this was a hugedeal and I am extremely
stressful over the situation. Ihad never been living outside my
homeland or even outside myfamily house before. Suddenly I
was away from my close friends.I had to improve my language
100% and I couldn't find a jobfor the first six months. And
(21:24):
the food was awful.
I didn't even know how to getmyself a doctor's appointment
and it was corona time. On topof that we had a very long time
trying to get along with mypartner as it's pretty normal
for all new roommates toestablish a few roles and some
common ground, but in our caseit felt like this process didn't
really end up until the day webroke up. One day he left his
(21:47):
dirty underpants on the floorliterally next to the washing
machine. Mind you that ourwashing machine was located in
the kitchen so good for uscooking and eating next to it. I
was frustrated because come onreally?
It's literally right there. Iasked him to clean it up and he
said, Yep, I'll do it. The sameconversation was happening
almost every day for about twoweeks. I was relentless. I know
(22:11):
it was just one piece ofclothing but it wasn't mine and
I'm not a person who made topick up after him.
Every time it was the same storyI would remind him kindly he
would say he'll do it later andthen go play video games with
his friends and forget. For twowhole weeks. So I came up with
an idea. I didn't know hisfriends mostly, but I was in
(22:32):
touch with a few of them. And Iknow that it was a typical male
environment.
They love to make fun of eachother and they generally don't
want to hang out with you ifyou're easily offended. I
messaged one of her friends ifhe could please tell my
boyfriend to clean his dirtypants off the kitchen floor. You
guess what happened next. Theguys had a huge laugh at him. He
was livid but cleaned up afterhimself and never left any dirty
(22:55):
clothes on the floor ever again.
We broke up two years later, butfor the entire time they would
still occasionally make fun ofhim. He tells them he needs to
go because I came back fromwork, but did you remember to
take your panties off from thefloor? He says to them, I have a
bad mood today. Maybe you didn'tclean your panties off the
floor. And so on and so forth.
(23:19):
I bet they still do the samething to him to this very day.
So, I mean, this happened twoyears ago, so I feel like this
probably wasn't the cause ofhis, of their breakup. I think
he just wants to spread thestory to even more people.
Erika (23:35):
Yeah. I think, mean, come on. The kitchen floor, that's
just gross. I mean, the bedroom,I get it, okay?
Edgar (23:46):
Was it cooking with no underwear on? I feel like that's
dangerous.
Erika (23:51):
I can't even imagine like coming into the house and seeing
underwear or pants or somethingon the kitchen floor. I think I
would be flipping out.
Edgar (24:01):
But yeah, I mean
Erika (24:05):
sometimes it doesn't work out, but I don't think that's
the reason for, like youmentioned, for the breakup.
Edgar (24:10):
Just probably something he was remembering while
thinking about the Hoperelationship.
Erika (24:14):
Yeah. So the top comment is, I like how this turned out.
They'll never let up. Now theycan say, you left because of his
dirty laundry. It makes himsound pathetic.
Okay, so the next story is, Ifaked liking sparkling water for
three years and now I'm trapped.I'm 30 now, but this started
(24:37):
when I was around 27. During aphase where I was really trying
hard to be one of those puttogether adults who meal prep,
drink sparkling water, and haveplans that aren't just dying
slowly in the corner. So Ibought a 12 pack of LaCrosse
because, you know, that's whatthe cool healthy people were
drinking. First sip, it tastedlike someone whispered the word
(24:59):
fruit into a cup of TB stack.
That was good. Absolutelydisgusting. I had already post-
Disgusting. Whatever, I don't Imean actually it wasn't bad. But
as you know it's an acquiredtaste, you get used to it.
Anyways, but I had alreadyposted on Instagram story with
(25:23):
the caption, new addiction lol.And that was the beginning of my
downfall. Friends startedbringing LaCrosse over when they
visited, Co workers stocked itin the office fridge because I
liked it. My girlfriend, nowfiance, thought it was cute how
into sparkling water I was. Soshe bought me a Soda Stream for
(25:45):
Christmas.
Edgar (25:46):
Grim. Imagine having like so little personality that
drinking bubbly is a personalityof a froth.
Erika (25:56):
That is hilarious. Now I'm into deep. I've become the
guy who nods softly whiledrinking what essentially is
spicy sadness. Have flavors inmy fridge with names like Pample
Mousse and Lemoncello and Ipretend like I can tell the
difference. I can't.
It all tastes like carbonatedregret.
Edgar (26:18):
I wouldn't be this guy's friend.
Erika (26:22):
Sometimes I would, this is funny.
Edgar (26:24):
Sometimes I- I love bubbly. I like sparkling water.
Erika (26:28):
It doesn't mean because somebody doesn't like it and you
can't be friends with him.
Edgar (26:31):
There's too many difficulties in having a
friendship. We don't need tohave any
Erika (26:35):
differences. Whatever, I think he's super funny.
Sometimes I just want a normaldrink. But if I open a Gatorade
someone would say, woah, NolaCroft today? And I can't with
this story.
And I was just fake laugh like,gotta switch it up. Meanwhile my
(27:00):
soul is quietly screaming.Anyway, if you're younger
reading this, never lie aboutyour beverages, that stuff will
haunt you. Thanks for coming tomy TED talk. That is so funny.
I mean, I grew to like bubblyand anything sparkly. I hate
(27:21):
polar polar spark, whatever.
Edgar (27:23):
I know what you're talking about, but yeah, I don't
I think that's the only one Idon't like just because the fizz
goes No, I feel like the fizzgoes way too fast. No. It's not
strong enough for me.
Erika (27:32):
No dude, it's too strong for me. I'm like choking there.
I
Edgar (27:37):
liked it ever since I was little.
Erika (27:38):
Really? No, I never liked, only carbonated drinks I
would drink would be soda when Iwas younger. But now I don't
drink soda and now I just drinkbubbly because you know,
obviously it's healthier. So thetop comment is tell everyone
you're going carbonation free.Easy solution.
(28:02):
People taste change over time.You could also pretend they
changed something in the formulaand it's longer pleasing to your
taste buds.
Edgar (28:09):
Yeah, I think it's a simple fix. You can also just
say I just don't like itanymore. Like if you eat too
much of anything you usually gettired of it.
Erika (28:19):
Yeah, definitely. And then everybody's taste buds
always change over time too.
Edgar (28:24):
Nevermind. I've been eating the same thing for the
past fifteen-twenty years.
Erika (28:31):
Okay. That's for every day? Well, mean, yeah, I can
say. Because I feel likePeruvian food and Ecuadorian
food is basically the same.
Edgar (28:39):
We're not even
Erika (28:39):
that far We have similarities, yeah. We're like
right next to each other. So wecan't really say, Oh, you tried
my food, but then again it's notthat different. So yeah, mean I
guess you got lucky. That's allthe stories we have today.

Thank you, bye!
Yapping!
Erika (00:02):
Hello, this is Erika.
Edgar (00:04):
And Edgar.
Erika (00:05):
And we are the Yapping Schnazuers. We entertain you
with the app worthy stories wefind around the web. So today's
theme is emotional fakery. Thefirst story is titled, Am I
Overreacting for Finding Out MyBoyfriend's Sister Wasn't His
Sister? As of today, I am veryupset and rethinking my entire
(00:29):
three years relationship.
But a part of me is alsowondering if the situation
wasn't that serious. So read it,I'll let you be the one to
judge. You've given good advicebefore, trust you'll do it
again. For the entire threeyears my boyfriend who we'll
call Dustin has had his sisterwho we'll call Kay. Dustin and
(00:51):
Kay have always been close.
Kay always comes over here andhangs out with Dustin. Dustin,
not me, in fact, I'm convincedshe hates me. But more on that
in a moment. Anyways, Kay andDustin always go over each
other's houses, go out to dinnerand once even went on vacation
(01:11):
without me. Every single timeKay is around she acts like I
don't exist.
I talk to her, she ignores me.She and Dustin hang out, I am
quite literally a third wheel.Now I never complain because I
always thought it's his sister,family comes first. Dustin at
one point even canceled our dateplans to go bowling with Kay.
(01:32):
Yes, without me.
I decided to visit the oldneighbor lady whom I help with
yard work. And I'm telling herabout Kay. Mind you, this lady
has lived in this town since shewas born. She knows everybody.
Usually I don't confine in herabout my life, but today was a
bad day and I needed somebody.
(01:54):
I tell her about Kay and as I'mdescribing her, the lady cuts me
off and says, that's not hissister. She said that Kay is her
coworker's daughter and has nosiblings. She has met Kay
several times and is very closefriend with the coworker. Came
home to his bags packed at thedoor. I kicked him out and told
(02:17):
him we were done.
Dustin went on and on about howKay is his best friend. He just
didn't want to lose her, allthis and that. The thing is Kay
and Dustin really did seem likea brother and sister type. Aside
from spending almost every daytogether, I never thought that
anything romantic or sexual washappening between them. But I
(02:38):
still found it veryunacceptable.
Now I am being slammed by Dustinand his family saying, I'm way
overreacting, need to talk itout, etc. So Reddit, what do you
think? Am I overreacting? Iforgot to add Dustin's parents
are dead and he rarely speaks tothe rest of the family. He says
yet now that they're comingafter me.
(03:00):
So I'm wondering if that was alie also.
Edgar (03:03):
So many lies. He's getting caught in the middle of.
Erika (03:06):
That seems so complicated. Girl, just let him
go. It's not worth it.
Edgar (03:12):
Yeah, it's too many lies and we don't even know who this
chick is. Exactly. Wait, so doesthe girl know about her? About
OP?
Erika (03:22):
Yeah, they literally hang out together and it's like she's
the third wheel instead of thefriend.
Edgar (03:29):
That's very suspicious. I
Erika (03:32):
don't trust it. I honestly, they maybe just
thinking about it this way thatyou know they're so close and
sibling like that they don'twant to try to go out with each
other because they don't want
Edgar (03:44):
to lose each other because you
Erika (03:45):
know if they end up breaking up, it's not gonna work
out after. So maybe that's whythey don't want us to take this
next step. She's basically, OPis the third wheel here. And I
think she should just break upwith him honestly. You're not
married, it's only three years,I mean it's a waste of your
time, but OP, do you reallywanna be in this type of
(04:05):
relationship?
Would you be, what do you think?Would you you let it go? Would
you forgive him or her,basically? No. You would
actually break up?
Edgar (04:16):
Yeah.
Erika (04:17):
That's a miracle. You usually give Benny chances. But
I think it's a lot of lies Ithink to be forgiving, right?
Edgar (04:24):
So
Erika (04:26):
there is an update and it says, Turns out Dustin lied
about everything. His mom isalive. Yo!
Edgar (04:35):
I feel like the entire story was alive at this point.
Erika (04:38):
Okay yeah, just break up with his ass. His mom is alive
but he has no contact with her.She ran away to Brazil and left
his grandmother to take care ofhim. His grandmother is
deceased, however, he stilltalks to three of his aunts, two
uncles and has several cousins.I feel so, so stupid.
I wasn't willing to question orpush boundaries or pay attention
(05:00):
to the red flags. Lessonlearned. I went over to Dustin's
house to grab the rest of mybelongings and guess who's
there. And guess what the livingroom is full of? Moving boxes.
Guess that didn't take long toget over. K is a new girlfriend
now and according to him he'shappier with her. His dumbass
(05:21):
left me there while he went topick her up from work. I bet he
got a nice glittery surprisewhen he turned his ceiling fan
on. Hope he has fun trying toget glitter out of his carpets
and shoes and bathtub.
I'm done and ready to move on.Thank you all for the support,
you guys are amazing. Isn't thatcrazy?
Edgar (05:39):
I know, I mean, it's just too much lies and at that point
this was like not even a realrelationship they had.
Erika (05:44):
No, it was based off of lies. There was the top comment
that says no, leave him. Heprioritized a different girl
over you so many times, lied toyour face, let her walk all over
you and overall didn't seem tocare about you at all. Leave him
for good, which thank God shedid.
Edgar (06:02):
Yeah, yeah.
Erika (06:03):
That was a lot of lies in a three year relationship. How
can you keep up
Edgar (06:07):
with lies for three years? Imagine? I like to think
maybe Ophie just wasn't aware.
Erika (06:15):
Maybe she had, I don't know, have you heard this
saying, had the rose gold, well,rose glasses on?
Edgar (06:22):
Yeah, rose tinted glasses, yeah.
Erika (06:23):
Yeah, I mean, she let it go too far. She stayed there too
long. But I'm glad she's, youknow, ready to go and move on. I
believe that he is the asshole.Big time asshole for being a
liar.
Edgar (06:40):
The next story is titled Am I the asshole for telling my
wife not to come to my ex wife'sfuneral to support my daughter
because my daughter doesn't wanther there? My ex wife died a
couple of days ago. We shared adaughter, 14, together. Our
divorce was not on the best ofterms. We were both at fault.
Nobody feuded though, but weweren't the best spouses to each
(07:03):
other. For a long time we bothtried to put our daughter first.
But after I remarried things didchange. My ex alienated our
daughter against my wife. I didwhat I could to stop it and I
made sure I tried to counteractwhat my ex was doing.
I did fight my ex in court overit. This was four years ago. My
wife was pregnant at the time soit was stressful when we
(07:25):
realized what was happening andmy wife and daughter do not have
a close or healthy relationship.My daughter shuts my wife out
because of what her mom hassaid. She has at times been rude
to my wife and I have stepped into tell her that she cannot be
like that.
I told her I can't make herlike, love, or be close to my
wife, but she must berespectful. The rudeness was
(07:47):
never a big problem, but therejection of a relationship has
remained consistent. Now my exwife is dead and my daughter is
grieving. My daughter has statedclearly she does not want my
wife or my son (3.5 years old)there. My wife wants to go to
the funeral.
She said my daughter will alwaysremember her not being there for
(08:08):
her and keeping her brother awayfrom supporting her if we
listen. She said at the veryleast she must be there. That
maybe our son is too young, butas a stepmom, if she doesn't
show up and shows she loves herthings, it would never get
better. My daughter screamed atthe top of her lungs yesterday
because she heard my wife sayshe wants to come and support my
(08:28):
daughter. My daughter stated itvery aggressively, in a way of
raw grief that my wife would notbe a comfort because she hated
her mom and nobody wants herthere.
I told my wife not to come. Isaid I will be there and I know
my daughter has mixed feelingsabout me being there but she
ultimately wants me there. Mywife expressed that she worried
it was a big risk and mydaughter would remember it as
(08:50):
her not being supportive later.And I said potentially it could,
but it could also show mydaughter that she's willing to
respect her boundaries. That'snot trying to take her mom's
place.
I told my wife it would be moredifficult now because my
daughter's mom is dead and itcan be hard to see the flaws in
people's actions when we losethem too soon. And I feel deep
down that if she comes, it willshow my daughter that she was
(09:14):
against her more. My daughtersought the advice of the family
therapist we have visited overthe years and the therapist
agreed with me. But my wife wasupset. She told me she wanted my
support and that she felt like Iwas encouraging her to not be a
good stepmom.
Am I the asshole? No. Yeah,mean, yeah, you gotta respect
her wishes of a daughter. She'slike pretty emotional at the
(09:37):
moment and hormonal probably.
Erika (09:39):
I mean, what would you do in this case? How would you try
to make everybody happy?
Edgar (09:46):
You can't really make everybody happy because you
always gotta give in those kindsof situations.
Erika (09:51):
So I would say at least he should try to talk to the
daughter. However, if she hasmade up her mind, there's just
no going back. I think he shouldrespect the wishes which is what
he's trying to do. So I wouldsay he should speak to his wife
for her to understand that it'snot about her not being there
(10:12):
for her, it's about hisdaughter's way of grieving. You
can't try to force yourself inthere because it's not gonna
help.
She'll reach out to her when thetime comes, you know what mean?
Edgar (10:25):
Or if the time comes. I feel like it looks like they
don't like each other at all andthat kind of doesn't want to go
away on its own. Yeah, I mean ifshe continues to
Erika (10:35):
show up and showing up even though she doesn't like
her, eventually she'll see, youknow, okay she was there for me.
But at least I would think.
Edgar (10:43):
So if your stepdaughter tells you not to go to her real
mom's funeral you would go?
Erika (10:52):
No I wouldn't. But I'm saying to be with her any other
time, like anything that sheneeds and she needs support, be
there for her. So eventuallyshe'll see that you're not going
anywhere and you're trying to bethere for her as a parent.
Because I mean you can't justexpect love and trust and just
being there for somebody andthem reaching out to you is just
(11:14):
automatic, you have to earnthat.
Edgar (11:16):
So if
Erika (11:16):
she hasn't earned it you can't expect somebody to give it
Edgar (11:20):
to you. So I think she just needs time.
Erika (11:23):
Not the Asshole, your daughter is grieving and
unfortunately your wife beingthere will not help her. She can
be a good stepmom by respectingher stepdaughter in this time.
Forcing her presence at suchemotional charged time is just
going to drive the wedge thatexists further in. If your wife
can't step back for a bit yourdaughter might be able to
gradually build a respectfulrelationship with her. To add to
(11:45):
this, I think the best way shecan support her is to say, I
won't be going but if you everwant to talk or need help at
all, the door is open, I supportyou.
That's it. Whether she takes heror not, that will be on her
terms. Exactly. I mean, youcan't force somebody to ask for
your help. You need to give themtime, especially at this time
(12:07):
with no grieving and all thatgood stuff.
Edgar (12:10):
And you just gotta be tactical. And like saying, like
just leaving the door open whenyou can't be there is always a
good, like a gentle nudge thatyou are there even when you're
not.
Erika (12:23):
Yeah, I agree. I think even just being a stepmom is
difficult because it depends onthe age also of the child. Like
when, let's say you're a stepmomof a two year old,
Edgar (12:34):
three year old, five year old, it's much more simple. But
I
Erika (12:38):
think when you have a 10 year old, 12 year old, 15 year
old, it's definitely a littlebit more difficult for you to
relate or try to be in theirlife without them saying oh
you're another stepmom or you'renot really my mom type of thing.
Edgar (12:51):
You're not my mom! You guys deal with that teenage
attitude?
Erika (12:55):
Well yeah, I mean but when you marry somebody and you
decide to be with that person,that person has kids, you have
to be able to deal with that andbe willing to try to tell them
that you love them regardless orat least that's what I would do,
know, if I were ever to be inthat position I would try to
(13:17):
love them as my own child. Buthowever, that's not always the
case unfortunately.
Edgar (13:22):
And you can't, yeah. You just gotta be respectful about
it.
Erika (13:25):
Exactly. So
Edgar (13:28):
So final verdict on that?
Erika (13:30):
I would say he's not the asshole at all. I don't think
anybody is the asshole, youthink?
Edgar (13:34):
Not really, maybe the daughter just because she's just
I don't know why.
Erika (13:38):
She's grieving, I don't think she's that.
Edgar (13:39):
But before then she was just like an asshole to like the
stepmom.
Erika (13:42):
Yeah, but I mean you never know, like you don't know
what she did or she does behindher, the stepdad, I mean the
dad.
Edgar (13:50):
Yeah.
Erika (13:51):
Like it's, I mean you can't just expectly think oh she
hates me because of something,you know?
Edgar (13:57):
Yeah that's true.
Erika (13:58):
So yeah, so I would say that she's not, nobody's the
asshole on this one. Okay, thenext story is, Emma the Asshole
for calling my husband adisgrace after he said my
miscarriage ruined his birthday.I miscarried yesterday afternoon
about 12PM. I've never had amiscarriage before, but this
(14:18):
baby was so wished to come alongthat I'm sobbing right now. So I
apologize in advance if itdoesn't make sense.
My husband turned 27 yesterday.I, 27 female, was pregnant with
mine and my husband's twentyseventh second child. Yesterday
I was eight weeks pregnant. Theday before yesterday we saw a
beautiful heartbeat flicking onthe screen and today I'm
(14:41):
devastated. I was playing withour two year old when I felt
pressure in my lower abdomen.
Not long later I noticedbleeding and I let my husband
know immediately that I haddiscomfort in bleeding. Before
long I had passed what I believewas the fetus. I messaged him I
think I lost the baby. I wantedto keep him updated and I guess
(15:03):
I was seeking some kind ofemotional support. I asked if he
could come home and he said ofcourse if it's urgent.
I said I think it is because thepain and bleeding is getting
worse and I'm starting to feellightheaded and our two year old
is unattended in his playroomright now. We have no friends or
family near and all I could callwas him to get here quicker. I
(15:26):
had to clean up myself, crawldown the stairs and take
medicine, make my son his lunch,and then put him down for a nap.
At this point my husband stillisn't home. He was working
approximately thirty minutesaway until closer to sixty
minutes to get back.
Hours later when I asked it wasbecause he stopped at Tesco to
pick up some beers.
Edgar (15:46):
I
Erika (15:48):
end up very poorly losing lots of blood, lightheaded,
vomiting, etc. He had to take meto the ER. By the time I was
discharged it was almost 8PM.Last week I had said I'll take
him to his favorite dinner forhis birthday, which he reminded
me when we were almost home. Isaid I wasn't feeling up to it
and that whatever takeaway hewanted it's on me.
(16:11):
He said, For F's sake under hisbreath and then he murders
something along the lines, ThisBS has ruined my birthday. He
didn't stop to get any takeaway,he just drove straight home. He
put our son to bed and I went tobed and I'm not sure what he did
after. I didn't see him in themorning as he already left for
work. He's not messaged me allday and he got home a few hours
(16:33):
ago and it's now 08:40PM andhe's been giving me the silent
treatment.
I tried to speak to him about anhour or so ago and he ignored
me. I called him a disgrace. Heslammed the bedroom door and
locked me out of the bedroom.His mom has since messaged me
and said, I need to be patientas he's also had a loss. He
(16:53):
didn't ask how I was, well shedidn't ask how I was or
anything.
He's obviously speaking to hismom but why isn't he opening up
and speaking to me? She said Iwas harsh. I'm feeling utterly
emotionally neglected right now.My body has been through
emotional and physical hell. Iunderstand my miscarriage came
(17:14):
to un I understand mymiscarriage came inconvenient
time for him as it was hisbirthday and all.
I'm not sure if the hormonesmake you feel crazy, but is it
nuts to contemplate divorce? AmI the asshole for calling him a
disgrace?
Edgar (17:32):
I think that's a pretty crazy story. She just lost a
baby and then all you can thinkabout is if you didn't get to go
to my birthday dinner.
Erika (17:39):
I'm so in shock right now. Like I'm like lost of words
here. Yeah. I the fact that Ibelieve this is a common
behavior yeah so I feel like shehas to question if this is
something that you know thatshe's overreacting. It has made
(18:02):
her feel like her feelings arenot valid throughout the
marriage.
That right now she'squestioning, should I have tried
harder? Is it my fault? Is henot a disgrace? Like did I
offend him? Was I too Like it'sinsane that right now he's
(18:23):
trying she's trying to likebasically not defend him but she
thinks that she's in the wrongin all this situation.
Edgar (18:31):
Yeah the quiet part is like this is probably like a
common behavior for OP's husbandonly now that this is the most
extreme example or the extremething that is happening, she's
realizing it.
Erika (18:42):
Oh my gosh.
Edgar (18:44):
I also feel like it's crazy, like even the mother is
kind of like, I feel like themother probably enabled this
behavior for OP's husband.
Erika (18:50):
First of all, she shouldn't be telling her you're
too harsh or anything. First ofall, you're not in their
relationship. You gotta see yourway out. And if he has time to
speak with her why can't he be aman, an adult and speak to her?
Instead of speaking to his mom.
(19:11):
Oh my gosh, I'm, you know, Ifeel so bad for OP because this
whole losing a baby eight weeksyou hear a heartbeat and you
just you see the baby like shesaw the baby and it's that's
just so traumatic that'ssomething that literally just
doesn't, you you don't forgetabout just a day after, a week
(19:34):
later, a month later. It's verytraumatic in someone's life. And
I think she needs that supportand she doesn't have anybody
near her or family. I think it'sreally sad at this point. And I
think she just needs to honestlyget divorced.
And OP, you're not nuts forcontemplating divorce. You
agree? So the top comment is: You are still at risk for (19:54):
undefined
infection at this juncture. It'sstill dangerous for you. Monitor
your bleeding and temperature.
Your marriage is sober. How longdo you stay with him is up to
you. But this means neither yourhusband nor the father material.
He cares more about what hewants than your child and
yourself. It took a crisis likethis to show you who he really
(20:18):
is and not that asshole.
I'm so sorry you're goingthrough all of this. Yeah he's
just so egocentric she needs toget rid
Edgar (20:26):
of him. So the garbage he goes and let somebody else pick
up that That's
Erika (20:33):
so frustrating.
Edgar (20:35):
Kind of right?
Erika (20:37):
No, not the asshole girl. Divorce him and get rid of him.
Edgar (20:40):
The next story is titled My now ex husband didn't want to
clean his dirty laundry off thefloor. My revenge is still
haunting him to this day. Thatsounds gross. But yeah, me, 26
female, and my now ex boyfriend,25 male, moved in together to a
different country about fouryears ago. He was already living
there for about three years andfor me it was a time to join
(21:03):
him.
Let me tell you this was a hugedeal and I am extremely
stressful over the situation. Ihad never been living outside my
homeland or even outside myfamily house before. Suddenly I
was away from my close friends.I had to improve my language
100% and I couldn't find a jobfor the first six months. And
(21:24):
the food was awful.
I didn't even know how to getmyself a doctor's appointment
and it was corona time. On topof that we had a very long time
trying to get along with mypartner as it's pretty normal
for all new roommates toestablish a few roles and some
common ground, but in our caseit felt like this process didn't
really end up until the day webroke up. One day he left his
(21:47):
dirty underpants on the floorliterally next to the washing
machine. Mind you that ourwashing machine was located in
the kitchen so good for uscooking and eating next to it. I
was frustrated because come onreally?
It's literally right there. Iasked him to clean it up and he
said, Yep, I'll do it. The sameconversation was happening
almost every day for about twoweeks. I was relentless. I know
(22:11):
it was just one piece ofclothing but it wasn't mine and
I'm not a person who made topick up after him.
Every time it was the same storyI would remind him kindly he
would say he'll do it later andthen go play video games with
his friends and forget. For twowhole weeks. So I came up with
an idea. I didn't know hisfriends mostly, but I was in
(22:32):
touch with a few of them. And Iknow that it was a typical male
environment.
They love to make fun of eachother and they generally don't
want to hang out with you ifyou're easily offended. I
messaged one of her friends ifhe could please tell my
boyfriend to clean his dirtypants off the kitchen floor. You
guess what happened next. Theguys had a huge laugh at him. He
was livid but cleaned up afterhimself and never left any dirty
(22:55):
clothes on the floor ever again.
We broke up two years later, butfor the entire time they would
still occasionally make fun ofhim. He tells them he needs to
go because I came back fromwork, but did you remember to
take your panties off from thefloor? He says to them, I have a
bad mood today. Maybe you didn'tclean your panties off the
floor. And so on and so forth.
(23:19):
I bet they still do the samething to him to this very day.
So, I mean, this happened twoyears ago, so I feel like this
probably wasn't the cause ofhis, of their breakup. I think
he just wants to spread thestory to even more people.
Erika (23:35):
Yeah. I think, mean, come on. The kitchen floor, that's
just gross. I mean, the bedroom,I get it, okay?
Edgar (23:46):
Was it cooking with no underwear on? I feel like that's
dangerous.
Erika (23:51):
I can't even imagine like coming into the house and seeing
underwear or pants or somethingon the kitchen floor. I think I
would be flipping out.
Edgar (24:01):
But yeah, I mean
Erika (24:05):
sometimes it doesn't work out, but I don't think that's
the reason for, like youmentioned, for the breakup.
Edgar (24:10):
Just probably something he was remembering while
thinking about the Hoperelationship.
Erika (24:14):
Yeah. So the top comment is, I like how this turned out.
They'll never let up. Now theycan say, you left because of his
dirty laundry. It makes himsound pathetic.
Okay, so the next story is, Ifaked liking sparkling water for
three years and now I'm trapped.I'm 30 now, but this started
(24:37):
when I was around 27. During aphase where I was really trying
hard to be one of those puttogether adults who meal prep,
drink sparkling water, and haveplans that aren't just dying
slowly in the corner. So Ibought a 12 pack of LaCrosse
because, you know, that's whatthe cool healthy people were
drinking. First sip, it tastedlike someone whispered the word
(24:59):
fruit into a cup of TB stack.
That was good. Absolutelydisgusting. I had already post-
Disgusting. Whatever, I don't Imean actually it wasn't bad. But
as you know it's an acquiredtaste, you get used to it.
Anyways, but I had alreadyposted on Instagram story with
(25:23):
the caption, new addiction lol.And that was the beginning of my
downfall. Friends startedbringing LaCrosse over when they
visited, Co workers stocked itin the office fridge because I
liked it. My girlfriend, nowfiance, thought it was cute how
into sparkling water I was. Soshe bought me a Soda Stream for
(25:45):
Christmas.
Edgar (25:46):
Grim. Imagine having like so little personality that
drinking bubbly is a personalityof a froth.
Erika (25:56):
That is hilarious. Now I'm into deep. I've become the
guy who nods softly whiledrinking what essentially is
spicy sadness. Have flavors inmy fridge with names like Pample
Mousse and Lemoncello and Ipretend like I can tell the
difference. I can't.
It all tastes like carbonatedregret.
Edgar (26:18):
I wouldn't be this guy's friend.
Erika (26:22):
Sometimes I would, this is funny.
Edgar (26:24):
Sometimes I- I love bubbly. I like sparkling water.
Erika (26:28):
It doesn't mean because somebody doesn't like it and you
can't be friends with him.
Edgar (26:31):
There's too many difficulties in having a
friendship. We don't need tohave any
Erika (26:35):
differences. Whatever, I think he's super funny.
Sometimes I just want a normaldrink. But if I open a Gatorade
someone would say, woah, NolaCroft today? And I can't with
this story.
And I was just fake laugh like,gotta switch it up. Meanwhile my
(27:00):
soul is quietly screaming.Anyway, if you're younger
reading this, never lie aboutyour beverages, that stuff will
haunt you. Thanks for coming tomy TED talk. That is so funny.
I mean, I grew to like bubblyand anything sparkly. I hate
(27:21):
polar polar spark, whatever.
Edgar (27:23):
I know what you're talking about, but yeah, I don't
I think that's the only one Idon't like just because the fizz
goes No, I feel like the fizzgoes way too fast. No. It's not
strong enough for me.
Erika (27:32):
No dude, it's too strong for me. I'm like choking there.
I
Edgar (27:37):
liked it ever since I was little.
Erika (27:38):
Really? No, I never liked, only carbonated drinks I
would drink would be soda when Iwas younger. But now I don't
drink soda and now I just drinkbubbly because you know,
obviously it's healthier. So thetop comment is tell everyone
you're going carbonation free.Easy solution.
(28:02):
People taste change over time.You could also pretend they
changed something in the formulaand it's longer pleasing to your
taste buds.
Edgar (28:09):
Yeah, I think it's a simple fix. You can also just
say I just don't like itanymore. Like if you eat too
much of anything you usually gettired of it.
Erika (28:19):
Yeah, definitely. And then everybody's taste buds
always change over time too.
Edgar (28:24):
Nevermind. I've been eating the same thing for the
past fifteen-twenty years.
Erika (28:31):
Okay. That's for every day? Well, mean, yeah, I can
say. Because I feel likePeruvian food and Ecuadorian
food is basically the same.
Edgar (28:39):
We're not even
Erika (28:39):
that far We have similarities, yeah. We're like
right next to each other. So wecan't really say, Oh, you tried
my food, but then again it's notthat different. So yeah, mean I
guess you got lucky. That's allthe stories we have today.
