1
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: It's the Happy Families podcast.

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 2: It's the podcast for the time poor parent who just answers.

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 3: Now I've squatted and I've lifted, and as I've squatted

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 3: and lifted, I've heard this rip and I'm talking. It

5
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 3: was a big rip. And then I felt a breeze.

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 3: I split my pants And now.

7
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: Here's the stars of our show, my mom and dad.

8
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: It's April Fool's Day.

9
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 3: We're not going to do anything April fool ish because

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 3: we're just not that creative and we've got too much

11
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 3: pressure in our lives.

12
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 1: We don't need the stress of it.

13
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 3: Unless you've got something for me, Kylie, any April Fools jokes,

14
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,319
Speaker 3: come on, I'm expecting more from you.

15
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm the fun one, aren't I. I'm not.

16
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 2: Established that.

17
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, totally.

18
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 3: I think that if you're a parent that hasn't done

19
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 3: an April Fool prank yet with your kids, maybe there's

20
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 3: an opportunity. I will say this though, babies that were

21
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 3: born yesterday, babies that were born on March thirty first,

22
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 3: they're the easiest to prank on April Full's Day because

23
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 3: they were literally born yesterday.

24
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: That is so bad.

25
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 3: You didn't like that, I thought that was really, really good. Okay,

26
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 3: I was doing my best. Hey did you hear about

27
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 3: the guy who swapped the labels on the pumps at

28
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 3: the petrol station?

29
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: No?

30
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 4: I did not.

31
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was an.

32
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:29,839
Speaker 3: April Fuels joke. Oh gosh, I'm not getting anything. Should

33
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: we just get on with the podcast?

34
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: I hope.

35
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 2: So.

36
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: I was waiting for.

37
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 3: You to say, Justin, did they name April Fools Day

38
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 3: in your honor or something like that?

39
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: But should we do it? I'll do better tomorrow. It's

40
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: the last.

41
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 3: This is the last I'll do better tomorrow of term

42
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 3: one for anyone in Queensland. Queensland school holidays are starting

43
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 3: at the end of today. In fact, some schools are

44
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 3: already on a break. Kylie, I'm going to start with

45
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 3: out I'll do better tomorrow today and I want to

46
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 3: share just a couple of things for a little bit

47
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 3: of fun, if that's okay. The first thing is that

48
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 3: I'll do better tomorrow. For those who are not familiar,

49
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 3: is where we talk about the mistakes that we make

50
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 3: as parents, all the wins that we have as parents,

51
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 3: and how we can reflect on them and be better

52
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 3: as people, be better as parents. Last week I had

53
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 3: an experience that I forgot to mention on the podcast,

54
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 3: and it kind of fits here. It's not really a

55
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 3: parenting experience, but it's definitely something that I need to do.

56
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: Better with tomorrow. And here's what happened.

57
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 3: So, as everyone knows, we've been going through this long

58
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 3: and enduring process of getting our house ready for sale

59
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: and selling our house and having it on the market

60
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 3: and all that kind of thing. And as part of that,

61
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 3: you're living an hour and a half away from me.

62
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 3: You're on the coast. I'm on the south side of Brisbane,

63
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 3: and I go and be with you and the kids

64
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 3: have two or three days every week with the family,

65
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 3: and then I come back home so that I can

66
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 3: keep the house in order because the open houses mean

67
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 3: that the house has to be perfect and on all

68
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 3: that kind of thing. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago,

69
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 3: I was up there on the weekend and came home

70
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 3: on Monday morning. I got up to get dressed so

71
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 3: that I could go and give some presentations, real life

72
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 3: presentations in front of real life people, no webinar, And.

73
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 4: It sound like it was so exciting to be in

74
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 4: front of an audience that could interact with me so

75
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 4: I've put my nice, my nice formal shirt on, I've

76
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 4: pulled my slacks on.

77
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 3: I'm looking really dapper. I've done my belt up, grabbed

78
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 3: my socks, put them on. I reached for my shoes

79
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 3: and I remembered that I left them on the Sunshine

80
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 3: Coasts an hour and a half away, and I only

81
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 3: had forty minutes to get to the venue so I

82
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 3: could give my talk.

83
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: And I'm like, no, what am I going to do?

84
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 2: So what did you do?

85
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: Well?

86
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 4: You rang me?

87
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: I rang your Do you think I'm an answer for you?

88
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 3: Do you think, first thing on a Monday morning, when

89
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 3: the kids are supposed to be going to school, that

90
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 3: you've got time to drive through peak hour traffic all

91
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 3: the way down the Bruce Highway all the way down

92
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 3: to the south side of Brisbane and get me my

93
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 3: shoes and maybe I can meet you somewhere and somehow

94
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 3: still make it to where I've got to go forty

95
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,119
Speaker 3: minutes south of here. Like I don't even know why

96
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 3: I was thinking that that was a let's hire a

97
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 3: helicopter so I can get some shoes kind of idea.

98
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: And so what I decided to do, thanks to your brain,

99
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 3: was I took all the formal gear off. I put

100
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 3: my nice linen long sleeved shirt on, a pair of

101
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 3: shorts and my thongs, and I showed up. By the way,

102
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: for those of you who are in America or from

103
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 3: anywhere other than Australia, when I say that I was

104
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 3: wearing my thongs, they go on my feet. They're what

105
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,799
Speaker 3: you might call jandles. I don't know what else they're called, colie.

106
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 3: What else do people call them other them thongs, flip flops,

107
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 3: flip flops, jandles, whatever it is in Australia. For those

108
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 3: of you who are international followers of our podcast, we

109
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 3: call them thongs. But they're not the kind of well,

110
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: let's just say that if you put the other kind

111
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 3: of thong on your foot, that would look kind of silly.

112
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 3: This is I'm going to stop right there. So I'm

113
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 3: wearing thongs, I'm wearing shorts, and I'm wearing my shirt,

114
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 3: and I present in the end, I threw my thongs

115
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 3: off and presented in bare feet and shorts to the

116
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 3: students and then to the staff. And I raced out

117
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 3: of the shops at lunch time and I bought some

118
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 3: shoes Kylie, and I popped my nice new formal shoes on.

119
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 1: I'd taken a change of clothes, and I looked just

120
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: the way I should.

121
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 3: But that's not the end of the story, because if

122
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 3: that all the story isn't that would just be a

123
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 3: minor blip. The next thing that happened is while I

124
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 3: was at that venue, after I'd gotten my new shoes on,

125
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 3: I was presenting in front of the group, and I

126
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 3: went to jump up onto the stage. I'd been down

127
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 3: on the floor, but there was a big enough audience

128
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 3: I needed to be up on the stage so I

129
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 3: could do something. I was getting somebody to interact with me,

130
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 3: and I wanted everybody.

131
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: To see it clearly.

132
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 3: I put my hands on the stage, and I've jumped,

133
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 3: And because I'm kind of athletic and I like to

134
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 3: think that I'm somewhat strong, I've jumped. And that required

135
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 3: me to flex all of my muscles in my upper

136
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 3: body to jump high up onto that stage, and I ripped.

137
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 3: I ripped my shirt. So now I'm presenting in front

138
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 3: of all of these stuff, And then that night, in

139
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 3: front of all of these parents with the shoulder of

140
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 3: my shirt in front completely torn because my chest, shoulders

141
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 3: and biceps were just too big for me to do

142
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 3: that strenuous work of.

143
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,679
Speaker 1: Jumping up onto the stage.

144
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 3: But wait, there's more. So I get home, I throw

145
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 3: that shirt in the bin. I put my new shoes

146
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 3: in the cupboard so that I don't have the problem,

147
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 3: because the next day I'm going into Brisbane to Mansfield

148
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 3: State High School. It's got like three and a half

149
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 3: thousand students, really really well regarded school. They're doing a

150
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 3: great job, and I've shown up to give my talk

151
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 3: to the students that morning, five hundred and fifty grade

152
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 3: eleven students. I'm talking to them about their mental health,

153
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 3: their well being. It went so well, in fact, it

154
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 3: went so well that the recess buzzer went and I

155
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 3: was halfway through my last story of the talk. I'd

156
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 3: gone a few minutes over time because they started a

157
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 3: bit late, and five hundred and fifty year eleven students

158
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 3: sat didn't even give any indication of impatience.

159
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: They were loving it.

160
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 3: So I kept them in from recess for about five

161
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 3: or seven minutes so I could finish the story. But

162
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 3: then that night the parents came in. We had a

163
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 3: couple of hundred parents. It was a great group. I'm

164
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 3: putting all of my books back into the car at

165
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 3: the end of the night, and I've squatted like I'm

166
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 3: wearing my nice, my very fancy suit. I've squatted, put

167
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 3: my hands around the book boxes because I'm carying about

168
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 3: three of them in the way, about thirty five kilos.

169
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: I've squatted, and I've lifted.

170
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 3: And as i've I've squatted and lifted, I've heard this

171
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 3: rip and I'm talking it was a big rip. And

172
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 3: then I felt a breeze. I split my pants. I

173
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 3: split my pants in front of all of the people

174
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 3: who'd stayed behind to help pack up. I split my

175
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 3: pants literally from my belt line all the way down

176
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 3: the back, almost almost to the back of my knee.

177
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 3: It was like a forty to fifty centimeter split, just

178
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 3: decimated my pants.

179
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 2: Well, you've given everybody an awesome laugh for the morning.

180
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: But I am wondering what that has.

181
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: To do with pr What does it have to do

182
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: with parenting?

183
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, because its about Sorry, I got so caught

184
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 3: up in the story, I forgot that there was a

185
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 3: parenting point here. Well, let me just read my notes

186
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 3: on my when I was thinking about what to share,

187
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 3: and I'll do better tomorrow.

188
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: Last night.

189
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 3: I was laying in bed on my own eating some

190
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 3: durroughly white chocolate raspberry bullets.

191
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 2: Having some chocolate therapy.

192
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: I was laying in bed, sorry for yourself. This has

193
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: been a fairly revealing podcast today, hasn't it. Really.

194
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 3: The thought that I had was buy clothes that fit. No, No,

195
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 3: I'm just kidding. My clothes actually do well. Maybe anyway,

196
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 3: let's not go there.

197
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: Well.

198
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 3: The thought that I had in terms of how we

199
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 3: can do better tomorrow as parents is life is full

200
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 3: of mishaps and mistakes, clothing rips, people lose their pants

201
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 3: or forget their shoes, and in spite of it all,

202
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 3: we can still carry on. Life still works out if

203
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 3: we don't take things too seriously, if we don't lose

204
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 3: the plot and blow up, if we just laugh and say, oh, well,

205
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 3: I guess I'm going to have to buy a new

206
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 3: suit tomorrow. Somehow, it all just works out, And in

207
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 3: some ways that's reassuring. People are forgiving of the fact

208
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 3: that I forgot my shoes. People are forgiving of the

209
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 3: fact that my shirt tore or that my pants are broken,

210
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 3: and we can be the same with our kids when

211
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 3: they make mistakes. Sometimes we can just laugh it off

212
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 3: and go, I guess that stuff happens, and let's find

213
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 3: the humor. That's a really long way of saying, don't

214
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 3: take life too seriously if you can avoid it. That's

215
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 3: why I'll do better tomorrow.

216
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 2: Well, after the break, I'm going to share how that

217
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: information may have been helpful if I'd had it a

218
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 2: week earlier, Doctor.

Speaker 3: expression unreadable.

221
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: You ask her to put it down, but she balks.

222
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 3: You know it's not good for her, but you're not

223

229
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 2: poor parent who just wants answers now. And I was

230
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 2: just thinking to myself, I wish i'd had your learnings

231
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 2: from last week a few days ago.

232
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: Are you taking life a bit too seriously lately? Are you?

233
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: Well? I didn't think I was, but the other night,

234
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 2: Miss eleven decided that she was going to help out

235
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: with dinner and she was going to make pizza.

236
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: You don't do well with this. I just said it publicly.

237
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry, but you're so good in the kitchen,

238
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 3: and therefore you have this high standard, right and things

239
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 3: have gone wrong.

240
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: Is that what you're going to say?

241
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 2: Well, I left her to do it, and I was

242
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 2: just I was feeling a bit under the weather, so

243
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 2: I've been lying down and just you know, kind of

244
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 2: trying to deal with my headache. And I walked out

245
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: and what I saw I've never seen before. She had

246
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 2: covered the pizza base with her tomato past and instead

247
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: of grating the cheese, she had sliced the cheese and

248
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 2: stuck slices of cheese all over the top of the pizza.

249
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: You're saying that like that's a problem. Who slices cheese

250
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: and puts it on a pizza?

251
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 3: That's what That's what the kids do when they do

252
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 3: cheesy toasts. They'd put a bit tomato sauce on the bread.

253
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 2: Exactly. It made It was literally like she.

254
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: Made she made cheesy toast on a pizza vase.

255
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 2: And so I looked at her and said, what are

256
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 2: you doing? I said, why did you not grate the cheese?

257
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: And she car looked at me and she said, well,

258
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 2: she said, I couldn't find the grater, and I just

259
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 2: thought I wouldn't bother you because I know you've got

260
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 2: a headache.

261
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 3: Going to be helpful, So she's used creativity and compassion.

262
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 2: Oh, you don't have to make me feel any worse

263
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 2: than I already do. And so anyway, I just was like,

264
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 2: you don't put slices of cheese on the pizza. And

265
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 2: I stormed out of the kitchen and I made it

266
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: the whole five steps down the hallway to my bedroom

267
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 2: because we're in such a tiny space. And I got

268
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: to the bedroom door and I went, I can't believe

269
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: I took that so seriously.

270
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 3: So I stormed, you're having a bad day. So we

271
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 3: all have days like that, It's okay.

272
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: I stormed back into the kitchen and I said.

273
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: You stormed back in.

274
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 3: You're angry at you now, so you're going to storm

275
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 3: back into the kitchen to let her know that you're

276
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 3: angry at you.

277
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 2: So I said to her, I said, we don't all

278
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 2: have to make pizza like mum. I don't mind that

279
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 2: you've done a sliced cheese pizza. Just next time, maybe

280
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 2: use the grade up. And then I stop back up

281
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,839
Speaker 2: the bedroom, and then I went, I'm really getting this

282
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 2: so wrong. So I sat on the bed for a

283
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 2: few minutes and I walked back out once I'd calmed down,

284
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 2: and I said, I'm really sorry. I completely overreacted, and

285
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 2: we were able to have a little bit of a

286
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 2: laugh afterwards. But I sometimes just forget to lighten up

287
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 2: and recognize that it doesn't have to be done my way.

288
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 2: Pizza is still turned out and they enjoyed it, and

289
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 2: it all got eaten.

290
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: Hang on a sec.

291
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 3: Are you saying that you just let the kids eat

292
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 3: the cheese pizza. There was no pineapple on it, there

293
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 3: was no mushroom on it, there was no anything on it.

294
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: Just cheese, just cheese, kylie.

295
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 3: Oh now see, now this is something that needs to

296
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 3: be taken seriously. Forget that they sliced it. It was

297
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 3: just cheese. I think that we need to have a

298
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 3: family counsel about this. We need to have a family

299
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 3: meeting and talk about how pizza should be made. This

300
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 3: what a wonderful story, What a great story. Take home message.

301
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 2: Lighten up. Yeah, there isn't one way to do a job,

302
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 2: and more times than not, our children are going to

303
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 2: show us some really creative ways to do things if

304
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 2: we're open to it.

305
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: And I love that she's just got this good heart.

306
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: She didn't want to interrupt.

307
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 3: You can't find the greater Mum's not feeling well, I'll

308
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 3: just find another way to do it.

309
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: I just such a great kid, such a great story.

310
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 3: We sure do hope that the take home message from

311
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 3: today has been received loud and clear.

312
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: It's going to be okay. Smile, you will get through it.

313
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 3: Even if the pizza is dodgy and your clothes are

314
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 3: ripped and falling off you.

315
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:47,400
