Yes, 21 00:01:15,161 --> 00:01:19,521 Speaker 2: the price point obviously is dramatically reduced because I think 22 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,601 Speaker 2: all of them, like Big w Target, all of them 23 00:01:22,961 --> 00:01:27,721 Speaker 2: come up right now with that half yearly sale. And 24 00:01:27,961 --> 00:01:31,401 Speaker 2: at that time when my kids were that age, they 25 00:01:31,521 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 2: still wanted toys as such, and I find that I've 26 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,161 Speaker 2: flipped into another category of sort of like the nine 27 00:01:40,041 --> 00:01:44,801 Speaker 2: and eleven and not really wanting the toys as such. 28 00:01:44,881 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 2: Does it make sense? And so I'm in that pickle 29 00:01:47,681 --> 00:01:52,121 Speaker 2: of going no other places are really doing those big lay. 30 00:01:51,881 --> 00:01:56,241 Speaker 1: By sales or clothes when clothes go on sale at 31 00:01:56,281 --> 00:02:01,001 Speaker 1: this speed of which my children keep growing, my kids 32 00:02:01,041 --> 00:02:02,721 Speaker 1: will be six foot by Christmas. 33 00:02:02,761 --> 00:02:05,721 Speaker 2: Like, I can't keep up. I can't I keep buying 34 00:02:05,721 --> 00:02:08,241 Speaker 2: all this stuff and then they go, oh, we'll just 35 00:02:08,281 --> 00:02:10,361 Speaker 2: sell it if we grow out of it. You don't 36 00:02:10,401 --> 00:02:12,921 Speaker 2: end up selling it.

Just a quick side note on that. 81 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,801 Speaker 1: Do you wish that you had a second washing machine 82 00:04:34,801 --> 00:04:38,681 Speaker 1: in times like that? People imagine if you had two 83 00:04:38,841 --> 00:04:40,401 Speaker 1: washes and two dryers. 84 00:04:40,561 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 2: I couldn't know, because then you just wash more.

I don't buy much makeup. I don't 93 00:05:09,481 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 2: spend money on makeup. It's not my thing. This particular 94 00:05:13,401 --> 00:05:16,241 Speaker 2: mascara cost me, Like I think fifty bucks or sixty 95 00:05:16,241 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 2: bucks or something. Right, one stick of muscara, because the 96 00:05:19,561 --> 00:05:22,281 Speaker 2: girl had suggested that I might like this one because 97 00:05:22,281 --> 00:05:25,161 Speaker 2: when you're washing your face, you literally can pull the. 98 00:05:25,361 --> 00:05:25,921 Speaker 1: Pull it off. 99 00:05:25,961 --> 00:05:27,041 Speaker 2: What do you call it?

He's like the Ida of makeup. 106 00:05:47,481 --> 00:05:49,361 Speaker 2: Better out of five star fries. 107 00:05:49,561 --> 00:05:56,881 Speaker 1: Yeah.

Ah, it 138 00:07:12,121 --> 00:07:15,361 Speaker 2: was building, and I made sure Sam stayed and she's 139 00:07:15,441 --> 00:07:17,801 Speaker 2: come back around. She stood there and she goes, I 140 00:07:17,881 --> 00:07:20,121 Speaker 2: know yep. I said, So I've just done your washing. 141 00:07:20,601 --> 00:07:22,001 Speaker 2: I said, and what do you think I've found in 142 00:07:22,041 --> 00:07:24,481 Speaker 2: your washing. She goes, yes, I know, I got in 143 00:07:24,521 --> 00:07:27,961 Speaker 2: trouble for it already. What she got in trouble from 144 00:07:28,041 --> 00:07:33,601 Speaker 2: her teachers for wearing mascara on the day that they left, 145 00:07:33,761 --> 00:07:35,921 Speaker 2: and then for having Misscara on camp. 146 00:07:36,161 --> 00:07:37,961 Speaker 1: But you didn't know about that. I didn't know she 147 00:07:38,041 --> 00:07:41,201 Speaker 1: got in trouble. So actually, if she'd have been smart 148 00:07:41,241 --> 00:07:45,081 Speaker 1: about it, she should have come back and put your 149 00:07:45,201 --> 00:07:48,361 Speaker 1: mascara back in your makeup bag before you realized it 150 00:07:48,401 --> 00:07:48,881 Speaker 1: was missing. 151 00:07:48,961 --> 00:07:49,481 Speaker 2: But she didn't. 152 00:07:49,521 --> 00:07:52,321 Speaker 1: She left it in the pocket of her pants and 153 00:07:52,361 --> 00:07:53,921 Speaker 1: then it went through to wash and then she went 154 00:07:53,921 --> 00:07:57,081 Speaker 1: through what I lost it Because she could have probably 155 00:07:57,121 --> 00:07:57,881 Speaker 1: got away with that. 156 00:07:58,121 --> 00:08:01,401 Speaker 2: I said, you're paying for my Misscara. I'm taking it 157 00:08:01,441 --> 00:08:04,601 Speaker 2: out act might even by myself too. Two miscaras, and 158 00:08:04,641 --> 00:08:06,921 Speaker 2: you're paying for both of them because you're replacing the 159 00:08:06,961 --> 00:08:10,561 Speaker 2: one that you've broken. Like that's just wooded logged. I said, 160 00:08:10,761 --> 00:08:13,801 Speaker 2: this whole arm. Why can't you trust me? I'm responsible. 161 00:08:13,881 --> 00:08:17,401 Speaker 2: You don't give me enough credit for Why would I 162 00:08:17,481 --> 00:08:19,921 Speaker 2: do that? And she just stood there and she still 163 00:08:19,961 --> 00:08:21,761 Speaker 2: tried to fight back a little bit. But at the 164 00:08:21,801 --> 00:08:23,521 Speaker 2: same time I think she knew that she was in 165 00:08:24,121 --> 00:08:26,441 Speaker 2: so much trouble. I said to her, I can't. I'm 166 00:08:26,481 --> 00:08:29,681 Speaker 2: just really sad. I'm sad at the moment because you've lied, 167 00:08:30,281 --> 00:08:32,881 Speaker 2: You've gone against everything. You had the piece of paper 168 00:08:32,881 --> 00:08:35,881 Speaker 2: there that clearly said no makeup. You've broken rules of school, 169 00:08:35,921 --> 00:08:40,761 Speaker 2: you've gone against me, and you've taken my stuff.
