Speaker 1: You said Smith is starting school today.
Speaker 3: Smith is starting second grade today.
Speaker 2: It's probably good that he's going back to school. He's
Speaker 2: got a lot of energy in that, doesn't it.
Speaker 3: I tell you something.
Speaker 4: On Saturday night, my entire family went out to celebrate
Speaker 4: my sister Jacqueline's birthday. And just so I can paint
Speaker 4: the picture to you and maybe you've been to this place.
Speaker 4: There's a newer restaurant here in Michigan in Birmingham specifically
Speaker 4: called Tara. Great place by the way, absolutely phenomenal food.
Speaker 4: Love it, so a huge shout out to them.
Speaker 1: What kind of food is it?
Speaker 5: So they kind of have a.
Speaker 3: Little bit of everything.
Speaker 4: I mean you can get like pasta, you can get steak,
Speaker 4: you can get like crispy rice, you can get like
Speaker 4: a little bit of everything. And everything I've had there
Speaker 4: is very very good. So it's one of those places
Speaker 4: that is very viby. So it's got the restaurant with
Speaker 4: a lot of tables and booths and stuff, and then
Speaker 4: they have the front of the restaurant has those I
Speaker 4: don't know if it's windows or doors that open all
Speaker 4: the way, so it kind of feels like you're outside.
Speaker 4: If you're sitting toward the front of the restaurant, then
Speaker 4: there's a sidewalk, and then they have a patio with
Speaker 4: lots of tables on the patio, so just you can
Speaker 4: kind of like envision the setup of this place. So
Speaker 4: my family we all sat toward the front of the restaurant,
Speaker 4: and at one point, after the kids, Lucy and Smith
Speaker 4: and my niece Stella had gotten done with their food,
Speaker 4: Lucy had said, Hey, we're gonna go outside. I'm gonna
Speaker 4: We're gonna walk up and down the sidewalk, which is
Speaker 4: totally fine, like we could still see them, although my
Speaker 4: back was to the front of the place, so whatever,
Speaker 4: she's eleven years old. I totally trust her with the
Speaker 4: two kids. Well, wrong, totally fine until I could kind
Speaker 4: of see everybody in the restaurant looking outside and up
Speaker 4: and my sister, who was sitting facing the outside, goes,
Speaker 4: I think that you should maybe look at your son
Speaker 4: as it's like the the slow turn in my chair
Speaker 4: to see Smith was in a tree hanging like.
Speaker 1: A sloth over all.
Speaker 3: Of the people.
Speaker 4: Reading on the tables on the patio.
Speaker 3: I was like, oh my god. I was so embarrassed.
Speaker 3: The kid had climbed the tree and was just hanging.
Speaker 4: There, and he was a kind of high to you guys,
Speaker 4: and you could hear all the people in the restaurant like.
Speaker 1: Tree.
Speaker 4: I got up so fast and ran outside to get
Speaker 4: him down.
Speaker 2: Was embarrassing to yell get down from there, like did
Speaker 2: you I didn't even have to yell.
Speaker 4: I got to the bottom of the tree and looked
Speaker 4: up and he saw my face and it was like.
Speaker 3: Every parent knows, like you talked to your teeth.
Speaker 4: You don't even have to really say anything, and that
Speaker 4: was me, and he very quickly got it down.
Speaker 1: If it's not your child, like I would have loved it,
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying you. If you're the table right next.
Speaker 2: Everybody, everybody loves the screaming baby, unless you're sitting next
Speaker 2: to the screaming baby on the airplane.
Speaker 3: Who is horrible?
Speaker 2: Horrible mother does this child to feed him? This kid
Speaker 2: up in that tree, and I think into.
Speaker 4: Themselves so high, keV, you couldn't just reach up throw
Speaker 4: food up?
Speaker 2: Did he have to like when he got up in
Speaker 2: the tree, did he have to uh like maneuver by
Speaker 2: like the chairs and the tables and stuff like that.
Speaker 4: Honestly, don't know it, like it. I just wanted to
Speaker 4: get him down so quickly.
Speaker 1: Is he climbing things? Is that like the he.
Speaker 4: Will climb lamp posts, he will climb trees. We were
Speaker 4: at the the Michigan State tailgate on Friday and he
Speaker 4: had climbed a tree.
Speaker 1: So hot climb.
Speaker 4: He's that kid, which I love, just not when it,
Speaker 4: you know, ruining up somebody else's dinner experience.
Speaker 1: All right, So there's a couple of ways I can
Speaker 1: go on this one.
Speaker 6: Here.
Speaker 2: I can go you can obviously go with the kids
Speaker 2: that are climbers, or we can go with the parent
Speaker 2: that's not watching their kid in a restaurant what their
Speaker 2: kid was doing, like you know, call call out the kid,
Speaker 2: like you know, call out whatever the kid is. If
Speaker 2: you're somebody at a restaurant and there's the kid running
Speaker 2: around or pounding on the booth.
Speaker 1: Was he one of those kids growing up?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 4: No, honestly, no, he was usually pretty good. It's just now,
Speaker 4: at eight years old, he's.
Speaker 1: Got a If you go to dinner and you have children,
Speaker 1: sit them in between the adults. Do not put them
Speaker 1: on the edge. They have access. They get up and
Speaker 1: run around.
Speaker 3: Well, I thought Lucy would.
Speaker 4: Lucy is so good and I even said I was like,
Speaker 4: lou you're supposed to be watching him, and she's like,
Speaker 4: I tried, Like, she came up, She gave up. She
Speaker 4: had my niece who's five. She was worried about her,
Speaker 4: not Smith.
Speaker 2: So real quick because I'm thinking back to was I
Speaker 2: don't know when it was, was a Friday when Smith had had.
Speaker 1: Morning to miss it. Do we have a bird update
Speaker 1: for us? Do we have a U?
Speaker 4: What's the what's the bird passed away?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: More than I woke up on I'm trying to think
Speaker 4: what morning it was Saturday or Sunday. And it was
Speaker 4: very quiet in my house and both kids were not
Speaker 4: in their beds, so I knew they were in the
Speaker 4: garage with the bird. And I walked in the garage
Speaker 4: and both of them were just holding the bird, crying.
Speaker 3: No, no bird.
Speaker 4: The bird survived four more days than I think it
Speaker 4: would if we would have left it in my yard.
Speaker 1: But it was more than did you get the bird?
Speaker 2: Looked at it all to see if the bird had
Speaker 2: any kind of diseases at all, Like do we know,
Speaker 2: like what what the story was with this bird?
Speaker 1: Like was the bird heard that bird? Maybe maybe that.
Speaker 4: I had Premiere pet supply delivered bird seed to my
Speaker 4: house after the show on Friday.
Speaker 3: I mean, we really try.
Speaker 2: For those that missed that podcast, you got to listen
Speaker 2: to that because Miss fid Tony called up and was
Speaker 2: basically like, you gotta kill the bird and Smith was fighting.
Speaker 2: He was like, you're not going to kill my bird.
Speaker 2: I was like, man Smith eight years old, he was
Speaker 2: going up against me.
Speaker 4: He had a burial ceremony for the bird, so he's
Speaker 4: now buried in our yard.
Speaker 1: But see that makes me sad that the kids have
Speaker 1: to deal with that, you know what I mean?
Speaker 6: You guys.
Speaker 4: Lucy was holding the bird and I walked out and
Speaker 4: she's just crying, crying, and she showed as she like.
Speaker 3: Turns to show me the bird, the bird's head gohes.
Speaker 1: Did y'all make a tombstone? Or it is just like
Speaker 1: a dirt pole.
Speaker 4: It's just a dirt pile. There were some flowers placed
Speaker 4: on top. That's about it.
Speaker 2: What a very very sad thing to have to have happened,
Speaker 2: you know, for the for the kids to have to
Speaker 2: deal with.
Speaker 1: Loss born.
Speaker 2: April's last April, You're terrible.
Speaker 1: It's you, guys.

Speaker 7: So, I mean I could totally relate my I have
Speaker 7: five kids, so you know one of them was bound
Speaker 7: to do something. But my oldest is definitely one of
Speaker 7: those hit the ground type of running kids. But I
Speaker 7: can tell you right now that if I was as
Speaker 7: a kid in that tree and my mama saw me,
Speaker 7: there would have been no look. My ass would have
Speaker 7: gotten yanked down. Yeah, well probably in front of everybody.
Speaker 7: Like go grab a switch while you're up there.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, pick one off the tree, Grandma Angela up,
Speaker 2: it's Mojoe in the morning.
Speaker 5: Hi, So I did the thing that she cannon gas
Speaker 5: to her son Smith with the mouth to this lady
Speaker 5: and her kids at Baccle Bell. Wait, yes, because like
Speaker 5: so I'm in Taco Bell.
Speaker 7: I'm trying to order my food.
Speaker 5: I got this guy that works there bringing his wife
Speaker 5: and kids food. But if kids are everywhere there bouncing
Speaker 5: off the walls, they're doing cartwheels by everybody trying to order.
Speaker 7: Food like you know on that you know the order
Speaker 7: thing you order yourself.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this boy walked, he bumped into me, so I
Speaker 5: looks right at him and I said, if you don't
Speaker 5: get over there with your.
Speaker 1: Mom, it's the gretty tea that looks right at her right.
Speaker 2: Why Why is it though, that I love when there
Speaker 2: are parents that have the I'm gonna beat your ass
Speaker 2: look on their face.
Speaker 1: I'm like, go get them, mom, necessary, go do it.
Speaker 1: What's up, Sean? How you doing? Hi? Sean?
Speaker 2: I'm okay, what's going on, buddy?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 6: I was just go home and let you know. We
Speaker 6: had an issue like that some time ago where we
Speaker 6: were in a restaurant. Someone's kid was while we were
Speaker 6: me and my wife were eating. This kid is sitting
Speaker 6: or standing on the back of the seat, banging and
Speaker 6: looking over our shoulder while we're trying to eat. The
Speaker 6: parents didn't say anything until they until I got up
Speaker 6: and turned around. And when you're looking at a twenty
Speaker 6: twenty pound man looking at you and telling you to
Speaker 6: sit your child down. Everything changed that everything.
Speaker 2: By the way, I love it that kid remembers you
Speaker 2: now for the rest of his life, Sean, every restaurant,
Speaker 2: just look around there recorded.
Speaker 1: Wait, hold on, we're recording this call.
Speaker 2: Hold on once I've sean our Amber.

Speaker 5: Good morning?
Speaker 1: How are you doing great? Amber?
Speaker 2: We're talking about Smith. And this, by the way, is
Speaker 2: going to be one of Smith's moments that we're gonna
Speaker 2: remember when the kid gets married.
Speaker 1: Do you remember the time you climb the tree? What's
Speaker 1: going on?
Speaker 5: I wanted to say that my kids are just feral.
Speaker 5: They are just feral kids. So I thought I had
Speaker 5: already experienced everything with my older three. I was wrong.
Speaker 5: My youngest we were at a restaurant and I literally
Speaker 5: just turned to turn my head for a quick second.
Speaker 5: He was in the booth next to me. Everything was fine.
Speaker 5: Next thing I hear and see is the fire alarm light.
Speaker 5: That feral booger pulled the fire alarm. I thought that
Speaker 5: my embarrassment meter had already been next papped out with
Speaker 5: the other three. Like my daughter used to run around saying,
Speaker 5: you're not my mom, the like, so now you know,
Speaker 5: here I am taking him to school and he's just like.
