Speaker 1: real right here, This is it. I think I have

12
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,279

13
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: in this election, and that's always a good sign. Yeah,

14
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: And I think it's going to be a lot of

15
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: people who are disappointed in the direction of the country.

16
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 1: And that's that's what I really think will happen. And

17
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: I'm just and I'm just hoping that it ends this

18
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: four year reign of terror that we've been under and

19
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: we can start a new chapter and just and just

20

Speaker 1: try to get it right at least stop that in

21
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: global embarrassment that we've suffered under this administration, because it's

Speaker 1: said he wants his fan base to get out and vote.

26
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: And because Joe Biden accused him of, um, Joe Biden, Oh, man,

00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: It is the Strawberry letter. Subject. My boyfriend's son is

46
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: creeping me out. Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm a thirty five

47
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: year old woman and I'm at a loss for words

48
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: when it comes to my new boyfriend's four year old son.

49
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: I've been with my boyfriend for six months and he

50
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: felt it was time for me to meet his four

51
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: year old sons. He's told me that I am the

52
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: first woman he's been serious about in years, and he

53
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: can see me as his wife some day. So I

54
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: met his four year old son, and he's a bit weird.

55
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: He looked me up and down and said hello. Then

56
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: he stared at my breath for a long time. My

57
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: boyfriend noticed and chuckled, then told his son to go play.

58
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: The little boy went to the kitchen table where he

59
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: had been drawing pictures. He came over to me and

60
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: he said he drew me a picture. He drew a

61
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: picture of me with his daddy and I had huge boobs,

62
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: a huge behind, and a big head. I'm a curvy woman,

63
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,839
Speaker 1: so I can see how that might stand out to him,

64
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: but I didn't like it. My boyfriend didn't think it

65
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: was a big deal at all. He said the boy

66
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: was just being honest with what he saw and small

67
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: kids don't have a filter. The next time I was

68
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: over at my boyfriend's home, the boy just sat and

69
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: stared at me, and he barely answered when I talked

70
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: to him, and I told my boyfriend he was creeping

71
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: me out. I put him to bed later that night

72
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: and he said good night and he was going to

73
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: dream about me. What the holy heck is going on here?

74
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: While my boyfriend is glad his son likes me, I'm

75
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: so worried that something's not right with the kid. Since then,

76
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: he's drawn more pictures of me, and he even drew

77
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: a picture of me without ahead. My boyfriend is still

78
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: saying it's not a problem. I was using the bathroom

79
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: and this kid was sitting outside the door when I

80
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: came out. Is this how kids show they like you?

81
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: Or is this kid just a little creep Please help? Well,

82
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: you know, I think this is creepy, and I think

83
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: it's creepy because you're making it so I mean we're

84
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: talking about a four year old baby here. It sounds

85
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: like the little boy is just smitten with you. He

86
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: doesn't really know how to act. He's just four, so

87
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: he doesn't know how to quite process his feelings or

88
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: just how to deal with what's going on. I mean,

89
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: maybe he's never seen a woman that looks like you before,

90
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 1: and I definitely mean that in a good way. You

91
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: said you were curvy and everything, so you know, I

92
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: think it's a situation where you and the dead are adults.

93
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: You need to act like adults, I think, and just

94
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: you know, find out what's going on. And it's four

95
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: a little a little four year old head. I mean,

96
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: he's his mind is young. I think make him feel

97
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: safe and comfortable enough that and I'm sure he'll he'll

98
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: talk to you about a whole lot of stuff that's

99
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: going on, you know, like a lot of four year

100
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: olds do. When you sit down and have a conversation

101
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: with them. I think you might find out it's perfectly innocent,

102
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: and maybe you look like a superhero to him or something.

103
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: I just say, don't make something creepy and crazy where

104
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: it shouldn't be. I mean, he's four, he's just a

105
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: four year old kid. You know I would say what's

106
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: wrong with you in this instance? Steve. Yeah, I mean

107
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: I don't have much to add, but when I come back,

108
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: I will add what I do have to add. And

109
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: lady just just hang on, because here I come with

00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: boyfriend's son is creeping me out. We'll be back right

Speaker 1: after this you're listening to, all right, Steve, come on,

115
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: let's recap today's Strawberry Letters subject my boyfriend's son is

116
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: creeping me out. Well, let me just help start by saying,

117
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: I think Shirley's one correct here. I don't think there's

118
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: anything to worry about at all. First of all, it's

119
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: obvious that you don't have any children, So because you

120
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: know you would have some idea of how kids can

121
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: be at time, but you've been with your boyfriend. He

122
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: felt his time to meet this for year old son. Now,

123
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: this is the first woman he'd been serious about in years,

124
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: and he could see me as his wife Sunday. So

125
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: he takes you to meet this for your old son,

126
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: and he was weird. He looked you up and down

127
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: and said hello. Then he stared at your breast for

128
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: a long time. His daddy ain't got no breast, He

129
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: ain't had no women over at the house in a while.

130
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: Nobody's serious. Nobody the man wants to introduce him to.

131
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: This is new to him. You do not know the

132
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: relationship he has with his mother. You didn't mention if

133
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: his mother's in his life active as the man has

134
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: full of custody. You don't know. But obviously you are

135
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: brand new to this boy. Now. He looked at you,

136
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: stared at you, looked you up and down, staring at

137
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: your breast for a long time. Then your boyfriend kind

138
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: of noticed and told his son, gonna play well, little boy,

139
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: go back in the kitchen, started drawing picture. Then he

140
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: came up you and say, he drew me a picture.

141
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: He fall, I got something for you. Hit drew a

142
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: picture me and his daddy, and I had huge boobs,

143
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: a huge behind in a big head. Okay, damn the head.

144
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: Ain't you got big boobs? You said, I'm a curvy woman,

145
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: so I can see how that might stand out to him.

146
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: Might what did you have one in this boy's face.

147
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: Cleavage something tight, and your breast was up there now

148
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: he noticed them. He just a boy. He don't know.

149
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: I've been looking at women's breast ever since I can remember.

150
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: I was five in love with my Sunday school teacher boy.

151
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: She was from fishing at your church one Sunday. I'm

152
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: sitting on the table with her legs cross teaching, sitting

153
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: there with her legs crossing, teaching them, teaching us about Jesus.
