the proposal, you know where Emily helped make the sign
for Reid to go ask a girl to homecoming and
that that went well.

And also I didn't get to see it because he
didn't want me were there, so I had to like
rose in the car around the corner. Did I keep
inching up because I couldn't physically handle it, so I
would inch forward, so I'd like kind of be behind
a tree, but at the same time I could still
see a little bit.

years ago?

Speaker 2 (01:48):

Speaker 2 (02:33):
I think that was Page's cell phone was in that
era anyway.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
I remember though, that homecoming, like at all the schools
in San Diego in my area, was like the most
casual dance, like it was kicking off the school year.
I remember it was usually in a gym, not like
the asp Formal was always like at a hotel, and
that was like we're the prom. Like well that we
would have winter formal and a prom, but both of

(02:57):
those dances were formal, but homecoming was always like yeah,
girls could wear short like short cocktailey dresses and then
dudes would wear like a button up shirt.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah, but that was thirty years ago, so we don't
know where we're at now. Okay, I say, you're so trendy.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
Hey. I asked around who I texted, like a couple of.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Moms, teachers, and principal is like, there's some women, what
there's some forty on your women talking to all the
young men at our high school is getting wear a homecoming?

Speaker 4 (03:24):
She's just shoulder tapping young boys outside of high.

Speaker 1 (03:27):

what you do with reeds friends talking about top. I
mean that was one time, and that was actually had
more than one time.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
Changing in my room. The other thing was unfortunate bendover. Okay,
can you obviously doing this?

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Should we re enact it again?

Speaker 2 (03:48):
No, I'm not going to do that.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
I asked a couple of moms that have kids that
are older that go to the same schools.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Are they cool moms like you? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Good question?

Speaker 1 (03:58):
So you would nest like someone like Sky.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
She could she still hear me right here?

Speaker 1 (04:04):
I hear you? And they said what and they.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Said yeah, they said, you get a mix.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
But typically it's the casual button up with pants kind
of a deal. The dudes even wear vans or sneakers
and stuff. So that's why I was getting in there
with the cash mix. Yeah, cash mix. So I was
getting in there with the suit. I lost that battle.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
What do you mean he's locked in the locked in
on the suit.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
I want a suit right now, and so we are
locked in on the suit.

Speaker 2 (04:30):

Speaker 3 (04:31):
I did buy him a suit, which we talked about
on the show for graduation from his eighth grade graduation,
and it was a.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Rental, so you didn't buy it.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
That ended up being like two hundred and fifty.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
Dollars if you don't mind me asking, just a yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
So I wasn't going to do that again for this.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
So Mama went on Amazon Amazon, and I found a
suit for a reasonable price that had fantastic reviews.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Okay, but it's gotta be tailored. How what are you

is a lot.

Speaker 4 (05:01):

least one hundred bucks.

spending all that money.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
You're insane.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Soon arrived a couple of days ago from Amazon. Tried
it on. I was so freaking nervous because he's very
picky and.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
He likes it and fit him all the right ways.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
I'm going to hemmet an inch on the bottom, but
I could do that because I sow. So we're good
with the suit.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Okay, go on suit, good with the sign, going suit.
To see this sixty dollars suit. This thing must look
so cheap.

So it's sixty dollars.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
You stop. Reid had the suit on a couple of
days ago.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
He was trying it on, and he was wearing it
for a while, and he was feeling himself and all
this stuff.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Doesn't He was wearing it for a while, he was.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Like taking photos and like adjusting it and like does
it need to be tailor?

Speaker 4 (06:13):
Photos for so you could buy a sixty dollars suit
off at Amazon.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
He doesn't need to be tailor. Wow, it fits him
pretty good. I have to see there's no room in
the tush, but I mean, and.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
I don't have.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
You didn't take any pictures when he's struting around the house.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
I didn't.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
He checked out his tush.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
I see I was seeing on push anymore.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
You know, you're starting to really this guy's really rubbing
off on you. Push I checked out. Yeah he's a
little room and the hell says that anymore? That Remember,
she's a cool mom. Cool.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
What did she say yesterday? Was it like bimbo?

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yes? Yeah, she said bimbo going on here? Red turned around?
Let me see you took us?

Speaker 2 (06:54):
So anyway, I got the suit on. You stop, I'm hurting.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
I'm a little sleep in it.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
He didn't, Oh, he didn't sleep in any So was
wearing the suit hanging out in the evening and we're
talking about the dance, and I try to get in
there and asking him, like if he thinks everybody's going
to be dancing, you know, what's the word on the
street about.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
So I kind of have to be with her, yeah, you.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Know, because we're talking about you know, plans before and
after and all this other stuff. And that's when I'm
getting in there a little bit, asking him if he
knows how to dance.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
And I'm meaning kind of.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
Like slow dance, because all the kids kind of dance
the way they dance, and.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
Emily, let me just say this, but can I just
say this before this continues? Go ahead, Eddie, when you
went to your first dance. Did somebody have to show
you how to dance? Or did it just happen? Doesn't
it just happen and you figure things out like this?
What about you're about to say, which I can foresee

(07:56):
is making me want to throw up?

Speaker 4 (07:58):
But you forgot that Emily and other kids that grow
up in Point Loma and La Joya and all that
they do, mister Benjamins, where they you teach you, like
how to dance? You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Anything?

Speaker 4 (08:14):
But well so, because you were saying, did somebody teach
her how to dance?

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Before general?

Speaker 3 (08:21):
But to your point that that mister Vegman's thing was
like ballroom like, they didn't teach me.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Nobody taught me how to like oh the dance. Honest,
it would have been nice.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
The Angry running Man. You would have preferred that, miss.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
No, I'm not talking about teaching fast dancing like the
Angry running Man. I'm talking about getting in there to
show him like.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
Armed, yeah, way back and forth, you can figure this out.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
I don't want him to try to figure it out.
I'd like him to be prepared ahead of time, concerned
about it in.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Case it happened.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
I don't want him to be so thrown off, not
know what to do, do something awkward.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
You know, you're putting all your weird anxiety on your son.
Yes you are, I'm not. Yes you are.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
No, I'm not. And so that's so what So listen, Barnsey.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Robert my man, he's getting home from work when all
this is going on, and he's getting into the house
and he kind of hears this conversation go on, and
Robert gets very excited over lots of different things. He
doesn't take much for him, and so he hears this
going on, and he starts kind of getting in there.
And that's when I decide to put some music on
on the TV and I TV, well, I want to
