Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, it is Mojo.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
In the morning show, I saw that Shannon was at
a birthday party over the weekend and yesterday, can I
ask an honest question, yes, were you dressed up in
a outfit or what?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Was okay?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
So the birthday party was probably the most spectacular birthday
party that I have ever seen.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
The mom did.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
I don't know if she's a party planner as a job,
because I don't know her this family very well at all,
but it was absolute insanity. So it was a rodeo
themed birthday party, and so the kids were all encouraged
to wear like western attire, you know, to follow the theme.
And then the mom, she was such a sweetheart. She
reached out to me on text and said, hey, we
(00:49):
would love I would love for you to stay and
meet some of the other moms. I know you're you know,
Lucy is new to the school, and it would be
really nice for you for me to like introduce you
to some of the other moms. And I was like, okay,
so I'm thinking, well, I'm going to be on on
part of the theme too. So that's why I was
wearing like a whole denim.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Outfit and I had like a handkerchief.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
I had my.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
Cowboy hat on that I wear Colorado all the time,
like I show up and it was one of those
moments of oh crap, I think I'm the only parent that.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Decided I'm going to go for the theme too. I
felt kind of stupid. There was maybe one other mom
and then the mom of the birthday girl who had
actually dressed up. Everybody else, all the other parents that stayed,
which is another question I have. By the way, we're
wearing very normal clothing for the day.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Did you have a couple of things? First off, themed
parties are always fun, not but I love.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
I love going along with the theme.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I just didn't know if the parents were supposed to
go along with the theme too or not.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I did Did you only participate because this isn't Lucy's
new school and you wanted to not look like that
that showed up not dressed up, like knowing that all
the other parents weren't dressed up, you have.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
I didn't know if we were supposed to dress up
or not. That's why I was saying, I'm like, oh
my god, yeah, I'm thinking.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Okay, if all the kids are encouraged to dress up
and she's inviting me.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
I feel like I need to dress up too and
be part of the theme.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Im So I did. They now are looking at her
though as that that big nerve.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Where's the nerse drip?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I mean it's like yeah you think so oh yeah,
absolutely no.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Listen, if I went to the party, I would have
had a little handkerchief and I had on too.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Okay, that makes me feel about it.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Is a themed party, you want to come.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
I think.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Also, when you show, it's a sign of support. If
I show up in a quarter zip and it's a
cowboy party, then you look like the goofy.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Well, so I said to Lucy.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
And I didn't see Lucy until at the party because
she's been with her dad all week, so her stepmom
dropped her off. I see Lucy, and Lucy's looking all
cute and a little sparkly cowboy boots and she's got
the whole office and she sees me and.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
She like makes a face, and I was like.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Thinking, the last thing I want to do is embarrass
her with her new friends and neigh school. And so
I asked for him, like what is this embarrassing? And
she's like no, no, no, no, Mom, you look cute.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Her face was like, you're going in Yeah, it's easy
to just take the hat off, you know.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
No I couldn't.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
My hair was very dirty, the hot was not coming
offally cute.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
They thought you were part of the party entertainment that
was comming. Are you with the petting zoo clowns over there?
Entertainment over there? It's like the uh that you know
how people will have like, uh, the princesses show up from.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
That fairytail entertainment?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, is this fairytale entertainments? Cowboy? Good though, man, you
did what you were supposed to do, as long as
you don't walk in near with like a hey, y'all
have birthday like I'm not doing that.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
You good.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
The funny thing is whenever my kids would go to
like a kid's birthday party, that was usually my time
to not have to go. Like I used to just
want to drop them off and come back and pick them, which.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Is normally do you stay.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
What I do?
Speaker 7 (04:04):
Know?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
So God, it depends. It always has depended on a
few things. Age like Smith's eight now. So I do
feel comfortable if, especially if I know the family, the
kid gets dropped off and I get two hours woohoo
to myself, it's amazing if I don't. And Lucy obviously
she's eleven like I, you know, I drop her off
when the kids were little.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Though I stayed, you stayed.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I think you should. Did more parents stay with you?
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Yesterday there were a lot of parents that stayed.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yeah, that's fine because they had which was made six
says Shannon.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
You just did a legally blonde.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
I know, I, honest to God, thought about that.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
But the movie the where she shows I'm dressed Nicole, Nicole,
what's going on? It's Moje on the Morning High.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Hi, Good morning Mojo.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
I just want to say Shannon is not alone. I
theme up everything. Me and my fiance love a good
theme and we do it for almost every event.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
We go to.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
It is so much fun.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Let me ask you, would you have liked your mom
to also be themed up too?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Because that's what Lucy had to deal with yesterday.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
Oh yes, when it comes to my mom as well.
If we do any events we will see we will.
I will make sure we all match, including my sister.
We go ziplining we match in a theme. This past
weekend a bachelorette party, we seemed like everything we went
to Hollywood Studios and we seamed it up with Hollywood Studios,
like we do everything.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
It's fun.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
It's so much fun.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Do you know that everybody is going to participate in
said theme?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Let me let me ask you this question though, with
the Lucy now being in middle school, if you're a
middle school kid, you don't want your mom staying at
the party though.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Do you like that?
Speaker 3 (05:52):
So I did ask her that afterwards too, and she
said she was happy.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
I say, what did you feel? Liar? But she goes,
she goes, all my friends love you, mom.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
I said, Okay, I don't know if she's telling me
the truth or not.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Why is it then maybe my kids are embarrassed by me.
But whenever my kids whenever being you know, it's like, hey,
can I go up and say hi to them?
Speaker 7 (06:14):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Don't like they wanted me to drop them off a
block before everything. I was the same way. I didn't
want my mom or dad to show up at anything.
Go the hill home. You've done your job, You've brought
me here. What age do you not have to be
there for your kids at birthday parties? And do the
people that have the birthday parties want other parents to
stay there so that they have help. Because when a
(06:37):
kid has a birthday party, I always feel like you're
putting it on the parents of the people that are
having the party. But then I also feel like, you know, hey,
this is also my time to have a little bit
of you know me time.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
And also sometimes it can be awkward, like depending on
how big or small the party is making small talk
with parents that you don't really know that well, which
was not.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
The case yesterday at all. But like I've had that.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Before where I've gone to parties when, especially when Smith
was little, I'm like, I don't know anybody here. Now
I have to make small talk for two hours.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
The worst is when it's at like jump zones and
stuff like that, and you're like and they like, hey,
would you like to jump too, I'm like, no, I.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Want to sit and scroll on my Instagram. Everybody leave
me alone.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Uh, listener, Shannon, what's up?
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Shannon?
Speaker 8 (07:24):
You're doing great. I just do any of you know
when we have to stop sending the invitation to.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
The whole class.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Oh that's an interesting one.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Yeah, I am so tired of that.
Speaker 7 (07:36):
I have a four streater and they're still like, Nope,
you have to invite everyone.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
See No, I think that that's only the case if
you hand out invitations at school, Like we've always been
told that you are not allowed to bring party invitations
to school unless everybody in the class gets one. But
if you're doing it at home or like over text
or evite.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Here's my question though for you, what if your kid
was the one kid that didn't get invited? Would you
feel bad about that?
Speaker 7 (08:03):
I would.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
My only issue is I don't have everyone's number or email.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
And I feel weird, like is it weird going.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
Behind someone's back and asking the teacher like, hey, can.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
I have their contact or something?
Speaker 8 (08:14):
Weird?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
See?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I remember we used to ask you know, there would
be like a thing where you could ask your kid
to go and say, hey, can you have the hair?
Give this like Chelsea would give like a piece of paper,
say give this to your mom, And it was based
on Chelsea's number. But I always like, I remember when
I was in school, my mom made us invite everybody
if we were going to have it, unless we were
(08:36):
only going to invite like four people. But if you
if you invited thirty people and you didn't invite the
five that didn't get in that were your closest friends.
The worst is the Monday when you come back from
the party, those kids knowing that everybody hung out with
each other over the weekend. What's going on, Tiffany Hi?
Speaker 7 (08:56):
I was just saying that my mom's always been the
theme on Shannon, don't feel bad, Like even when no
other moms ever did it, my mom went all out
like she was that mom, Like even at graduation, she
did her hair in curlers and a robe and got
in slippers and went all out like my friends loved it.
I love it when she does it as a grandma
(09:17):
and like I'm her number one fan, and my kids
love it. Oh, I'm going to carry on the tradition
when I get older too, So I love it all.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I keep thinking about with the curlers, is the mom
that used to drop their kids off at school with
no bra, that mom in her pink bathroom swingers and
you would see, yeah, the swinger, the boobies.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Shoulders.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yeah, do your boobs hang low to and fro?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Can you tie them in? And can you tie them
in a bow? Can you throw them over your shoulder?
Speaker 7 (09:52):
Like?
Speaker 4 (09:53):
How do we all know that?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
What'sp Amanda.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
Hi? I.
Speaker 8 (10:00):
I was the mom that always stayed at every birthday party.
But I will tell you why. My daughter had a
girl Scout event one year and it was at the
leader's house and all she was pretty much like eight
years old and all of the moms were leaving. But
I didn't know the leader very well, so I stayed
on her wall was a family picture and I recognized
(10:23):
her son because he was on the sex offender registry.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Oh WHOA swear to God, I swear to you.
Speaker 8 (10:31):
And I never wrote how.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Did you know the offenders Registry?
Speaker 8 (10:37):
Because I was a crazy mom when my kids were little,
so I would check in our area occasionally to make
sure that you know, kids were safe.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Think it was okay to have a party at her.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Have you ever checked the sex offenders Registry lately, like
just to see if any of the kids. I mean,
isn't that crazy to think about it? Like nobody thinks
that I would never know that Amanda. The fact that
she actually not only checked it, she knew what the
kids looked or the people looked like on this Axlevander's registry.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
That is a crazy story.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Good lord, Oh my god. Not going anymore parties out
after that one
