118
00:06:50,841 --> 00:06:55,041
Speaker 2: got the easels and the cardboard and actually, then this

119
00:06:55,121 --> 00:06:56,881
Speaker 2: is where I turned from a bad mom into a

00:07:15,561 --> 00:07:18,601
Speaker 1: Of that stuff going on. She's got all in a panic.

126
00:07:18,321 --> 00:07:20,961
Speaker 2: Because she hasn't printed out the stuff she needs to

127
00:07:20,961 --> 00:07:23,441
Speaker 2: print out to stick on the card to then make

128
00:07:23,481 --> 00:07:26,841
Speaker 2: the presentation. So then I've said, okay, we're going to

129
00:07:26,961 --> 00:07:27,961
Speaker 2: do it as a family.

130
00:07:28,441 --> 00:07:29,561

131
00:07:29,521 --> 00:07:33,481

Speaker 5: It's very creative.

137
00:07:44,721 --> 00:07:46,720

00:07:46,761 --> 00:07:48,761
Speaker 2: fire to the edges to make it look burn.

139
00:07:48,961 --> 00:07:51,281

161
00:08:49,401 --> 00:08:51,361
Speaker 4: Dress up as a cowgirl. So I said, oh, that's fine,

162
00:08:51,401 --> 00:08:52,081
Speaker 4: we can pull it together.

163
00:08:52,121 --> 00:08:52,801
Speaker 1: You've got boots.

164
00:08:52,881 --> 00:08:54,601
Speaker 5: She goes, yeah, I want to wear that red shirt,

165
00:08:54,641 --> 00:08:56,361
Speaker 5: and I was like, what red shirt?

166
00:08:56,401 --> 00:08:58,401
Speaker 4: Another one of those mum moments where I've thrown it

167
00:08:58,441 --> 00:09:03,521
Speaker 4: out because I thought she had. So now I have

168
00:09:03,601 --> 00:09:05,801
Speaker 4: to go past kmart and try and find like a

169
00:09:05,881 --> 00:09:06,641
Speaker 4: checkered shirt.

170
00:09:06,721 --> 00:09:08,721
Speaker 1: She wants to be Jesse out of toy story.

171
00:09:08,441 --> 00:09:11,481
Speaker 5: That I thought, I have Jesse the dress up for

172
00:09:11,561 --> 00:09:16,201
Speaker 5: me my size. We could just pin that because we

173
00:09:16,281 --> 00:09:16,801
Speaker 5: do something.

174
00:09:18,721 --> 00:09:19,841
Speaker 1: Why do you have that?

175
00:09:20,881 --> 00:09:24,921
Speaker 4: We dress up every year for Halloween, all four of us,

176
00:09:25,121 --> 00:09:27,041
Speaker 4: and that was mine for last year.

177
00:09:28,961 --> 00:09:31,281
Speaker 2: I feel like I feel like this episode is not

178
00:09:31,401 --> 00:09:34,521
Speaker 2: very relatable because I don't think there's anyone out there

179
00:09:34,881 --> 00:09:39,161
Speaker 2: with a Jesse costume or Jesus costume just hanging around

180
00:09:39,241 --> 00:09:42,401
Speaker 2: in the wardrobe.

181
00:09:43,281 --> 00:09:46,201
Speaker 4: What I'm going to take from this episode is I

182
00:09:46,281 --> 00:09:49,601
Speaker 4: probably need to do a few more studies around religions

183
00:09:49,641 --> 00:09:51,641
Speaker 4: and appearances and

184
00:09:52,761 --> 00:09:56,321
Speaker 3: You reckon don't invite me to a fancy dress.
