Speaker 3: Merry Christmas eve Yo.
Speaker 2: I'm excited, I know, and it's gonna get even more
Speaker 2: tiring tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing about Christmas, and you start realizing
Speaker 1: this once you have children, and Ethan you don't have children,
Speaker 1: but you might as well with I think I'm understanding
Speaker 1: the point what you put into it is you look
Speaker 1: back on all of the memories that you're that our
Speaker 1: parents like provided for us when it came to Elmer,
Speaker 1: the elf oceans here, so just make sure whisper.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but also no, trust me, I think as built.
Speaker 2: Yeah, That's why I'm happy we have the back house
Speaker 2: because I'm gonna that's why I built all the things
Speaker 2: so we can just put them out beforehand, because I
Speaker 2: always remember mom and Dad being like, we couldn't go
Speaker 2: to bed till five in the morning because we had
Speaker 2: to build your stuff. And I'm like, how can I
Speaker 2: avoid the five am?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then them waking up at like seven and
Speaker 1: getting excited.
Speaker 2: No, let's talk about what ocean did, what'd she do
Speaker 2: going into Gigi's room.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, you guys.
Speaker 1: We went to the mall and she was wanting to
Speaker 1: go into this dress shop and they have the cutest
Speaker 1: things and it's all of these like big puffy gowns
Speaker 1: for like young kids, and skirts and like frilly stuff,
Speaker 1: cute little bags that like look like Chanel, and she
Speaker 1: wanted one, and of course I had to like shut
Speaker 1: it down because it's almost Christmas, and I said, you
Speaker 1: don't need that, oh, and she was like.
Speaker 3: I, but I really wanted it's so cute. I don't
Speaker 3: have this one.
Speaker 1: And so we go to Claire's where we then gather
Speaker 1: a bunch of things that she wanted and we do
Speaker 1: it behind her back because those those little gifts are
Speaker 1: from Elmore the Elf. And I go back into the store.
Speaker 1: I get this cute bag. I hide it in the
Speaker 1: diaper bag. We get home. Ocean is the negotiation with
Speaker 1: this child is just a lot. She verbally waterboards me
Speaker 1: at all times of the day about everything. Girls got
Speaker 1: stamina and I just don't. So I was like, Ocean,
Speaker 1: it's mom time and we're gonna play. And when I
Speaker 1: say we, I mean not you. I didn't say it
Speaker 1: like this.
Speaker 2: She w upside down me.
Speaker 1: Time, we is now me you guys. I was like,
Speaker 1: it's mom time, it's adult time, and the adults are
Speaker 1: gonna play Mario Party on the switch, okay, And she goes, well,
Speaker 1: then can I watch my iPad? I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't even care. I don't even care watch your iPad.
Speaker 1: So I sent her downstairs and she's awfully quiet. I'd hear,
Speaker 1: not any iPad happening, no YouTube kids, and and then
Speaker 1: the gees.
Speaker 3: Is like, something's going on.
Speaker 1: So she goes down into her room and Ocean has
Speaker 1: rummaged through and found the purse, She found the elf gifts,
Speaker 1: She found it everything, and.
Speaker 3: I was like, I'm taking it all back.
Speaker 1: And of course my mom's like, okay, we don't need
Speaker 1: to be that intense, Like we tell her it's for
Speaker 1: someone else, like, oh, you found all the gifts were giving.
Speaker 3: To London, my niece were shipping them to Utah.
Speaker 1: And now they're all wrapped up. And Ocean has such
Speaker 1: a good memory that I know she's gonna be like
Speaker 1: you tricked me. They just can't be from Santa. Can't
Speaker 1: be from Santa. They have to be from Mom.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're gonna have to just say I was buying
Speaker 2: those for you and those were going to be your
Speaker 2: gift for me, but now you.
Speaker 1: I just wish she would listen, don't we all? Yeah,
Speaker 1: And the other thing about this Christmas is that you
Speaker 1: don't like some kids have older siblings and you worry
Speaker 1: that they're gonna spoil Christmas for your kid because maybe
Speaker 1: they heard from their older sibling that like Santa is
Speaker 1: very real.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I'm worried about her going into school still
Speaker 2: because it's tell the story well every so obviously school
Speaker 2: here a lot of religion, a lot of people believing
Speaker 2: in for things. So it's like she was like, let
Speaker 2: me take the elmer the elf. So yeah, she takes
Speaker 2: the elf into school. First, little boy goes that elf
Speaker 2: isn't real, and oh, she goes, yeah it is. And
Speaker 2: I was like, oh boy, here we go. I dismissed
Speaker 2: myself very quickly.
Speaker 3: Kevin. Didn't she say, yeah it is. He brings me present?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it is, he brings me present. And I
Speaker 2: didn't dismiss. I looked at the teacher and I said,
Speaker 2: if this becomes an issue, do I need to take
Speaker 2: it or is she She goes we'll put it in
Speaker 2: her backpack. And I said, Ocean, this becomes an issue.
Speaker 2: What do you do? And she goes pet it away
Speaker 2: and I said, good job, have a good one, kid,
Speaker 2: and I loved and then I just hear the bickering
Speaker 2: of the kids.
Speaker 3: Elves are real and.
Speaker 4: I was like, no, I know we shouldn't have opened
Speaker 4: this can of worms. Keep the elves at home, by everybody,
Speaker 4: keep the elves at home. Because I was verbally waterboarded
Speaker 4: us again. She has seventeen times, and on the eighteen
Speaker 4: I was like, take the off to school. I don't
Speaker 4: even care anymore.
Speaker 2: I will say I got mad at Lauren because Ocean
Speaker 2: was like, my mom told me I could bring it,
Speaker 2: and when your mom doesn't have to deal with it
Speaker 2: right now, so she let you, so no I caught it.
Speaker 2: So she didn't let you. She just let you bring
Speaker 2: it in here and no talking me. And now you're
Speaker 2: mad at me.
Speaker 3: It's so funny.
Speaker 1: So usually our Christmas Eve plans can we don't even have.
Speaker 3: Well, so many people are like, what are your tradition?
Speaker 2: You don't even have anymore.
Speaker 1: It's hard to create traditions when you have split when
Speaker 1: you yeah, when when it's kind of all over the place. Now,
Speaker 1: my agreement.
Speaker 3: Is is very good. I have no complaints.
Speaker 1: You know. Obviously, if I had it my way, it
Speaker 1: would be one hundred percent of the time.
Speaker 3: And I'm sure he feels the same way.
Speaker 1: But whatever, That's what happens when your part ways. But
Speaker 1: I'm thrilled with it this year. So she's gonna She
Speaker 1: went to Miami and blew back today actually, and for
Speaker 1: a moment, I was like, this is not cool. My
Speaker 1: kid's on an airplane for five and a half hours
Speaker 1: on Christmas Eve and she's very resilient. You guys, now,
Speaker 1: if this were so soid, I think this would throw
Speaker 1: her for a loop.
Speaker 3: But Ocean's like, yeah, whatever.
Speaker 1: And then I learned how many people are actually traveling today,
Speaker 1: Like so many of my mom friends are like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're traveling for Christmas. And I was like, oh great,
Speaker 1: when are you guys headed out? They're like Christmas Eve.
Speaker 1: I'm like what, that's so wild? They were like, well,
Speaker 1: say what's up to Ocean on the way out. So
Speaker 1: she flew back in Christmas Eve today and I will
Speaker 1: have her all day tomorrow. And the other side, you know,
Speaker 1: did the whole Christmas thing already, but it's really hard
Speaker 1: to create traditions. My number one thing is like getting
Speaker 1: to the desert during the holiday. But I just didn't
Speaker 1: want to put ocean from a five and a half
Speaker 1: hour flight into a car for two hours to get
Speaker 1: to the desert. So we're spending Christmas for the first
Speaker 1: time in this house, Christmas in la and I'm excited.
Speaker 1: Then she can play with her toys. It's not like
Speaker 1: a big to do of Oh my gosh, you know,
Speaker 1: we got to like I want to get to the desert.
Speaker 1: I want to get to the desert.
Speaker 3: We can.
Speaker 1: We built most of the toys. The other little things
Speaker 1: will do tonight tomorrow she can have a Heyday traditional breakfast.
Speaker 1: Thinking about it, of like the sausage and the egg,
Speaker 1: what is it like a casserole?
Speaker 3: Was it a Mormon thing? I don't know. Grandma used
Speaker 3: to make it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to say it was like an egg
Speaker 2: cheese castrole. Yeah, whatever it was. That's the thing that
Speaker 2: brings me back to heaven, yeah, some sort of.
Speaker 1: The only thing that missing for me is a big family.
Speaker 1: No an ice cold vodka soda this morning.
Speaker 2: Talk to him, lady.
Speaker 1: That my dad would make me. It would just be ready.
Speaker 1: He would be having his bloody marry or a mimosa,
Speaker 1: and I just went straight in for that kill.
Speaker 2: I do miss that because that was like I because
Speaker 2: I can only it was only like a couple of
Speaker 2: years for me because I didn't really drink and he
Speaker 2: died when I was twenty five. But like the last
Speaker 2: couple was always like having a little mimosa. Yeah, come
Speaker 2: in with the orange juice and just like a drop.
Speaker 1: Yeah, refills on refills.
Speaker 2: Everything's just the eggnog.
Speaker 3: Oh, just the thing, the whole thing. Ocean said.
Speaker 1: The other day, the TV was playing and someone said alcohol,
Speaker 1: and she.
Speaker 3: Was alcohol, Alcohol is bad for you, isn't mom?
Speaker 1: And I was like, I was like, I don't know
Speaker 1: how to answer this because I don't want it to
Speaker 1: be like a forbidden fruit for her. I didn't expect
Speaker 1: her to be talking about like alcohol being good or
Speaker 1: bad for you at.
Speaker 3: Four and a half. I just kind of ignored her.
Speaker 1: I pretended like I didn't hear her because I don't
Speaker 1: want to be like, yeah, it's really bad for it.
Speaker 2: But she keeps asking you.
Speaker 3: She doesn't forget, and she didn't ask me.
Speaker 1: Oh she didn't know, And I'm like, I'm not discussing
Speaker 1: us with you at four and a half, like too young,
Speaker 1: but it will be interesting. The reason I'm bringing that
Speaker 1: up is I just I'm like, these are weird conversations,
Speaker 1: and I see her like if she's asking that, it's
Speaker 1: a matter of time honestly for her to be like,
Speaker 1: oh Shanta clause real.
Speaker 2: No, she's pretty smart too.
Speaker 3: One fuck up away from making her a non believable.
Speaker 2: It's not even a fuck up. It's like, what you
Speaker 2: can't You're gonna have to go buy a storage and
Speaker 2: to keep all of her shitting because she's a little
Speaker 2: she goes through everything, she'll find everything. She clept out
Speaker 2: all of my stuff from my house. I don't know
Speaker 2: what else is missing. So it's like I don't even
Speaker 2: know what She was there to see it. So it's like,
Speaker 2: what do you do to hide gifts? Because I remember
Speaker 2: Mom was like I had your gifts in like the
Speaker 2: most in plain sight, but you never looked. Do you
Speaker 2: remember that? Yes? Like I never was going in closets
Speaker 2: to look.
Speaker 3: Well I wasn't either, And she's like, I remember Mom.
Speaker 2: When we'd go in the basement. No, the two doors
Speaker 2: that yes went into the same she was in there
Speaker 2: and like I never even thought of it, but she
Speaker 2: got like skittish. She was probably hiding gifts for me
Speaker 2: and you or something, and I was like, what are
Speaker 2: you doing? She was like just trying to find wrapping paper.
Speaker 2: I'll never forget it. I was like, all right, I
Speaker 2: wasn't like I'm going to go in that room.
Speaker 3: After she would be like, that's not where you keep
Speaker 3: the wrapping paper. The wrapping paper, I saw it in
Speaker 3: the other closet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and she would have gone through that room, but
Speaker 2: like that's something. So it's like, it's not a fuck up.
Speaker 2: It's like you've got a kid who is just very
Speaker 2: very what's the word I'm looking for.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: She's interested in everything. Curious, just curious there.
Speaker 3: It is a little curious George.
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, and I'm going to start
Speaker 2: calling her George, because she'll go in every room, even
Speaker 2: if she's on her iPad. I've seen her she'll look
Speaker 2: over the top of it and like see what we're
Speaker 2: all doing, And then when you look at her, she'll
Speaker 2: look back at it, and I'm like, oh okay.
Speaker 1: Oh no, Christmas is stressful. I was just gonna say,
Speaker 1: what are you the most excited for tomorrow morning? Waking
Speaker 1: up seeing her face? Honestly her face.
Speaker 2: I'm excited for Sosa's first Christmas in a sense of
Speaker 2: like her being able to like sit down and like
Speaker 2: rip open some not that she'll know what it is,
Speaker 2: but I think it'll be fun for her to just
Speaker 2: rip things open. So I'm excited for that. I'm excited
Speaker 2: to just wake up as like a little family and
Speaker 2: have just like breakfast coffee. Yeah, football is on love
Speaker 2: it isn't it? Or am I lying?
Speaker 3: I don't know.

Speaker 1: got her like paper clips and a little breethecase and
Speaker 1: like all this paper so she can play off. I can.
