Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, it is Mojo. 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? Was okay?
Speaker 2 (00:17):
So the birthday party was probably the most spectacular birthday
party that I have ever seen.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
The mom did.
Speaker 2 (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.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
And then the mom, she was such a sweetheart.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
She reached out to me on text and said, hey,
we 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 part of the theme too. So that's why
I was wearing like a whole denim outfit and I
(01:08):
had like a handkerchief. I had my 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 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
(01:29):
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 1 (01:39):
Did you have a couple of things? First off, themed
parties are always fun, not but love.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I long going along with the theme. I just didn't
know if the parents were supposed to go along with
the theme too or not, and I did.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Did you only participate because this isn't Lucy's new school
and you wanted to not look like that parent that
showed up not dressed up, like knowing that all the
other parents weren't dressed up, you have.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
I didn't know if we were supposed to dress up
or not.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
That's why I was saying, I'm like, oh my god, yeah,
I'm thinking, okay, if all the kids are encouraged to
dress up and she's inviting me.
Speaker 3 (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 3 (02:23):
Where's the nerve drive?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I mean it's like you think, so oh yeah, absolutely no.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Listen, if I went to the party, I would have
had a little handkerchief and I had on too.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Okay, that makes me feel about it.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Just a themed party, you want to come? I think.
Speaker 4 (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 l Well.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
So I said to Lucy.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
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 in a little sparky cowboy boots and she's got
the whole elephant. And she sees me and she like
makes a face, and I was like thinking, the last
thing I want to do is embarrass her with her
new friends in high school. And so I asked her
him like, what is this embarrassing? And she's like no, no, no, no, Mom,
(03:09):
you look cute.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Face like you're going in Yeah, it's easy to just
take the hat off, you know.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
No I couldn't. My heart was very dirty.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
The hot was not coming offally cute.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
They thought you were part of the party entertainment that
was coming. Are you with the petting zoo right over there?
Entertainment over there? It's like the uh that you know
how people will have like, uh, the princesses show up.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
From that fairytail entertainment?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah? Yeah, is this fairytale entertainments? Cowboy?
Speaker 4 (03:40):
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 5 (03:51):
You good.
Speaker 1 (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.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Which is normally do you stay what I do?
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Know?
Speaker 2 (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 wooo
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 3 (04:26):
Though I stayed, he stayed.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I think you should did more parents stay with you.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yesterday there were a lot of parents that stayed. Yeah,
that's fine because they had.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Spec six, says Shannon. You just did a legally blonde.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
I know, I, honest to God, thought about that.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
But the movie where she shows Nicole, Nicole, what's going on?
It's Mojo in the morning.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
High Hi, good morning, Mojo.
Speaker 7 (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 we
go to.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
It is so much fun.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Let me ask you, would you have liked your mom
to also be themed up too? Because that's what Lucy
had to deal with yesterday.
Speaker 7 (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 5 (05:35):
It's fun.
Speaker 8 (05:36):
It's so much fun.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Do you know that everybody is going to participate in
said theme?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Let me let me ask you this question though, with
Lucy now being in middle school, if you're a middle
school kid, you don't want your mom staying at the party, though,
do you like?
Speaker 5 (05:52):
So?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I did ask her that afterwards too, and she said
she was happy. I say, what, did you feel a
great liar? But she goes, she goes, all my friends
love you, mom, I said, Okay.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I don't know if she's telling me the truth or not.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Why is it then maybe my kids are embarrassed by me.
But whenever my kids wherever being, you know, it's like, hey,
can I go up and say hi to them?
Speaker 4 (06:15):
No?
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Don't like they wanted me to drop them off a
block before everything. I was the same way.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
I didn't want my mom or dad to show up
at anything like go the hill home.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
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 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
(06:44):
I also feel like, you know, hey, this is also
my time to have a little bit of you know
me time.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yeah, and also sometimes it can be awkward, like depending
on how big or small the party is like making
small talk with parents that you don't really know that well,
which was not the.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Case yesterday at all.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
But like I've had that before where I've gone to
parties when, especially when Smith was little, I'm like, I
don't know anybody here.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Now I have to make small talk for two hours.
Speaker 1 (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 3 (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 9 (07:22):
Hey? Shannon?
Speaker 8 (07:24):
You're doing great.
Speaker 9 (07:26):
I just do any of you know when we have
to stop sending the invitation.
Speaker 8 (07:31):
To the whole class.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Oh that's an interesting one.
Speaker 9 (07:34):
Yeah, I am so tired of that. I have a
four S greater and they're still like, Nope, you have
to invite everyone.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
See now, 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 1 (07:55):
Here's my question though for you, what if your kid
was the one kid that didn't get in? I would
you feel bad about that? I would?
Speaker 9 (08:04):
My only issue is I don't have everyone's number or email,
and I feel weird, like is it weird going behind
someone's back and asking the teacher like, hey, can I
have their contact or something? Weird?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
See? 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.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
What's going on, Tiffany, Hi, 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.
Speaker 8 (09:05):
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 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 1 (09:26):
I keep thinking about with the curlers, is the mom
that used to drop their kids off at school with
no bron.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
That was mom in her pink bathroom swingers and you
would see, yeah, the swinger, the boobies.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Shoulders. Yeah, do your boobs hang load to and fro?
Can you tie them in? And can you tie them
in a bow? Can you throw them over your shoulder?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
We all know that.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
What's up, Amanda, Hi?
Speaker 6 (09:59):
I 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.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
She was pretty much like eight years old.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
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 her son
because he was on the sex offender registry.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Oh WHOA swear to God, I swear to you.
Speaker 6 (10:32):
And I never wrote how.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Did you know the offenders Registry?
Speaker 6 (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 2 (10:45):
They think it was okay to have a party at something.
Speaker 1 (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 kind of 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 3 (11:11):
That is a crazy story.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Good lord, Oh my god,
