Speaker 2 (00:09):
All of these emails and comments rolling in from Facebook
and Instagram and at Murphy Samonjody dot com on Friday,
it's our deep dive into your into you. So this
is from Nicole, and we've talked a lot about Mother's Day,
which is this weekend, all week long leading up to
so she says, every year, my fiance has made sure
to do something for me on Mother's Day. We are older,

(00:32):
and our kids are not ours together, but they are
our kids no matter what, and he respects and appreciates
everything I do for our family as I do for him.
It's the same for him on Father's Day. Love it, Nicole, beautiful.
Love that you shared it, Carla, This as Mama said.

(00:52):
My mom used to tell me and my sister no
other siblings. You only have each other. You need to
always love and protect each other even if you are angry.
I love that my sister and I are so close,
and I feel bad for people who don't have a
good relationship with their siblings. This post reminded me. It
was a post on Facebook about Mama said. This post
reminded me that maybe for this Mother's Day, I need

(01:14):
to thank her for giving me a best friend for life. Wow, Oh, Carla,
do you know that when I was pregnant with Phoebe,
so Taylor was three years old, we had found out
that we were having a girl. Yeah, And I remember
having a conversation with my uncle about it. My uncle Larry,

(01:34):
and I had said something about I kind of thought
I was carrying a boy. It's so funny to be
carrying a girl. And I was saying something about it,
and he said, Jody, you're giving her meaning Taylor, You're
giving her her best friend.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
It's like, oh, he was right about that.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
I was right about be.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
They truly are three and a half years apart. They
are each other's best friends and confident. It's insane how
tight they are. And yeah, I'm grateful for that.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
I Actually, what's so funny about is I feel like
we didn't do anything to make that happen.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
That.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
I feel like that was luck. So much in life
is not luck, you know, but that was luck. Yes,
they were raised in a you know, loving environment, and
we did a lot of things together and they had
each other. But a lot of siblings are raised and
share everything and they don't jive. You know. I love
my sibling. I love my brother to the moon and back.

(02:27):
Would he consider me a best friend? No, I wish,
But he and I are so different, you know.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yeah. Well, you know, I'm really fortunate with my brother
and my sister because I don't know, I mean, especially
you know, through the death of my mom and the
death of our dad and separating things out. You know,
sometimes when you go through the whole succession thing, it
can create a lot of fights over silly things, you

(02:53):
know what I mean, resentment. Yeah, And my brother and
sister and I, no matter what, through anything, through all
these years, have always been kind, loving and respectful to
each other. In our group text to each other, we
say that we love each other because we do. And
I don't take that for granted, especially since I know
some people don't, you know, get to they don't get

(03:16):
to experience that.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Unfortunately, I wonder what that's about, because I'm not there yet.
Like my you know, we still have my mom and
we're not in a situation of splitting up things and
you know, hope it's a long time. But is that
about resentment? Is that about your own worth? I wonder
what that is. I won't know it until I'm in
it and hopefully it won't get back and.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
If you don't have any conversations about it previously. Yeah,
it's something that that person, if they that's going to
fester in them forever until the time the succession shows up. Yeah,
and it's like they've got years built.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Up of and it's like why or assumptions. Maybe maybe
there's assumptions going from.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
It's very complex. I would think it can't be that
it's the parents or just the environment. There's so many
variables involved. I do know that my you know, my
parents were big on respecting siblings, and we respected each other,
you know what I mean, And so so respect was
a big lesson, a big teaching, constantly reinforcement, I should say,

(04:17):
you know, in the family. But I don't know that
that alone did it. Maybe the other thing is that
excuse me, when we were young and both of my
grandfathers had passed away, we went through a time period
where we didn't really have a sitter or anybody looking
after us and kids alone in the house. Well, so
my mom had no choice. I mean, she was, you know,

(04:37):
my parents were both very hard working parents, and so
she was trying anything she could think of. And my
grandmother was grieving at that time, so she couldn't, you know,
look after us. So there were no other grandparents in that,
you know, to take care of us. So the first
summer was daycare. We were the oldest kids in daycare.
Now I'm ten, my brother was eight, my sister was

(04:59):
six at the time, and we didn't like that at all.
So we said, we asked if we could just stay
at home, and we we promised them that we would
take care of the house and clean up and do
and that's so we spent many summers every summer after that.
I don't know that you would leave your ten year
old at home to take care of siblings today. I
don't know that I would do that in a different world. Right,

(05:20):
it's not a matter of trust, I mean, but it's
I don't know, but at that time, So I think
that time in those summers we spent together probably also
helped build that bond you because by the time I
was in high school, I was off doing my own thing.
I went through that time period where I was not
with them, you know very much. It did never change
the love part of it, but I didn't. I wasn't
spending a lot of time with them at that point.

(05:41):
You know that when you transition high school and college
and all that, that's a big change in life for
the whole family dynamic.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Going back to the whole you know, siblings and when
that happens and when people don't get along, when things
get split up, it's not it's not just an assumption
in that sort of relationship that can problems. You know,
I've heard it said before, and it really is true
that assumptions are are what can cause all kinds of
resentments and all kinds of relationships. You assume someone feels

(06:10):
a certain way and you don't know for sure, but
you carry that around. They say that's a big thing
in marriages. There's a lot of assuming going on. You
assume he's mad at you, or you assume she's spending money,
or you assume that he feels this way about this
incident from you know, six years ago or something. It's
you know, sometimes it's inside and if you just talk
about things to get the real story.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
Yes, and if you don't talk about it, it gets
worse in your.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Correct I'm glad to hear you say that is a
very cool thing to say.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Well, you had the brain will tell you a story
and a half if you put the filter in front
of it.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Ah, it's so true, so true. Okay, this is from Destiny.
What a great name. I know. This week has been
nurse appreciation and teacher appreciation, and this month is military
appreciation as well. But did you know it's also correction
officer appreciatea week. His career is the one that is
all too little recognized. It's a career that very little

(07:06):
would want to do, but someone has to do. Recognition
is deserved there as well. It sure is Destiny. Whoever
comes up with all this. You cram too much into
may teachers, nurses. You could spend a month on teachers
and a month on nurses and a month on military.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yeah, and we should, well so the corrections officer thing.
I know. Through the years, we've had different listeners who've
called then explained that you know to us that life
and you know one thing. It's as dumb as this sounds,
but I get it, but I forget it. Until it's mentioned.
Is like the corrections officers that are in the jail facility,
they can't carry weapons. They don't have weapons around hardened

(07:47):
criminals even though they're behind bars, because if the weapons taken,
it can be used against you, right right, Which so
I mean to me, that's a not that you you know,
it's just that didn't occur to me. You think corrects officer,
you think they've got all the tools like the police
officer would have or whatever, But then everything that you
have to put up with here and manage is extreme.

(08:11):
It really takes you to take a special person to
be able to do that, just like it does a
passion for nursing or whatever.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
And you have to learn you probably have some psychology
attached to that job because you might be some of
the only human interaction that the people you work with
are getting, and hopefully that's good human interaction.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
Yeah, or the sure overseeing could be trying to manipulate you.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Oh God, I guess that's true.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
And you know it's now that I'm thinking about this
because I've never been exposed to that, as like probably
most Americans, our only experience with corrections officers is what
we see in the movies are DV. It's not even real.
You know, it's Shawshank redemption.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Oh okay, okay, mister crabs make them shine like mirrors.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
I did to that prison in Uhrilla that one time, right, Yeah, yeah,
And you know I was told or advised to stay
away from bars, the bars on the cell.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Right.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
You weren't saying alcoholic establishments heavily into bars at that point,
but you know, and just everywhere you go, they're screaming
the guys or hey, whether it's nice things or just
looking for some kind of interaction or anything.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
They probably Yeah, that actually was That was a friend
who was a listener to the show.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
That's right, had a counselor for the prisoners.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
That's right, that's right. I forgot about that. Yeah. See,
I've never taken that kind of tour.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
It was very eye opening because it's like as soon
as I walked in, you know, you go through the scanner.
But at the same room where I would arrived is
where the prisoners come for intake, and they had a
wall put up, but it's like right there they strip
searched them.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
I didn't have to see that because I wasn't there
when any arriving, but it's like, yeah, that's what we
do right here, and it's like, oh.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
I've always thought that it would be life changing for
me to experience a tour like that, and there's a
big part of me that's interested in it. But number one,
I wouldn't want to go to a men's prison because
apparently women.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
You would be called and yelled at, right.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
And it would be right, it would be difficult. So
it would be a women's prison that I would want
to go see. And I still am. I've never done
it because I'm curious, but not curious enough to overcome
the fear.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
You don't want to let that.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
In, right, because I don't want to let that in,
and I but I feel for the human beings who
were there, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
It's didn't did you tell me that being dad didn't
let you go on a field trip as a kid.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
When we were trip you know, it was heavily involved
in church when I was growing up. My grandparents and
the youth group we were all going on a state
penitentiary penitentiary tour and I brought the Parisian slip home
and I was like, Okay, we're gonna go do this,

(11:03):
and he was like, no, you're not. He didn't want
me anywhere near that place. I was so upset with him,
but of course as I grew up I understood.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
I love that he made that choice for me. Jennifer
sent this, and I love it. This is also about Mama, said,
as we celebrate mothers this week as well, we were
asking you, what are the things that your mom said
to you that still you still hear in your head.
Jennifer said, Whenever we couldn't find anything as kids, my
mother would always say, if it was a chocolate bar,

(11:32):
you'd be able to find it.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
That sounds like a mom is, yeah, yeah, And mine
was always the snake line, it's right here in front
of you.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
I heard that one a lot too.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
Yeah.

Oh goodness, gracious, Okay, thank you for sending us your love,
your questions, your comments. At Murphy samon Jody dot com.
