Speaker 1: So I discovered a new way. Actually it's not really
Speaker 1: a new way. I don't know how I would describe this,
Speaker 1: but basically I lied to my children on the weekend.
Speaker 2: I don't know how to describe this.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm alive a new thing.
Speaker 2: I'm a liar.
Speaker 1: The thing is is, I think most parents have told
Speaker 1: their kids a white lie to either get out of
Speaker 1: doing something that they don't want to do, or to
Speaker 1: try and just like soften the arguments or the debating
Speaker 1: that happens when you've got little kids. If you have
Speaker 1: lied to your children about something, give us call, let
Speaker 1: us know what it is, because I need the affirmation
Speaker 1: that I'm not a terrible parent. So on the weekend
Speaker 1: where we are, it was torrential rain on Saturday, like
Speaker 1: it was, it was absolutely bucketing down. And now the
Speaker 1: kids have been desperate to go and see Majana Too
Speaker 1: at the cinema.
Speaker 2: Looks very good.
Speaker 1: And I was like, great, Okay, Sunday, that's what is
Speaker 1: going to be our rainy day activity. I'll take them
Speaker 1: to the cinemas. So we booked in. We bought tickets
Speaker 1: to Juana Too, had the time slot locked in. The
Speaker 1: kids were so excited like they were absolutely pumped for it.
Speaker 1: And then Sunday rolled around and we woke up and
Speaker 1: I opened the blinds and it was a beautiful day here,
Speaker 1: one day, like it was absolutely pristine. The sun was out.
Speaker 1: It was so hot, and Matt and I we had
Speaker 1: this moment where we were like, the last thing I
Speaker 1: want to do is go and sit in a cinema
Speaker 1: on the only hot day that.
Speaker 2: We've had in so long.
Speaker 1: So we went downstairs and we told the kids, guys,
Speaker 1: we're so sorry, but we can't go to the cinema today.
Speaker 1: Emali and Laula obviously devastated, and we were like, the
Speaker 1: cinemas are only open when it's raining, and they're closed
Speaker 1: on hot days, so you have to do an outside
Speaker 1: activity on a hot day. And tears gone instantly. They
Speaker 1: were like, okay, mom, we get back and we went
Speaker 1: to the beach. I spent the whole day at the beach,
Speaker 1: and now I need to at some point tell my
Speaker 1: kids that actually, the cinemas are open even when it's raining,
Speaker 1: I mean sunny.
Speaker 3: I think it's an okay lie for now.
Speaker 4: The problem is they're going to go to school and
Speaker 4: they're gonna tell their friends that and their friends are
Speaker 4: going to go. I'm calling bs. I go to the
Speaker 4: cinema all the time when it's sunny, and I'll just
Speaker 4: tell them. And you've got to double down, right, friends.
Speaker 5: Wrong, It's all right, don't stress it. You've got to
Speaker 5: make it through adulthood somehow. Why do you kids?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean there's got to be a benchmark
Speaker 1: to it, right, There's a limit to how much you
Speaker 1: can lie. We did have a few people right into
Speaker 1: the text line. This one mom said that she told
Speaker 1: her children that the eject button on the CD player
Speaker 1: in the car was actually to eject.
Speaker 2: Their seat if they were misbehaving.
Speaker 5: Who put used to CDs? I don't believe that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that a CD. They probably don't anymore. They might
Speaker 2: be older and the kids have grown up. But it
Speaker 2: was like what they use.
Speaker 1: They said, like that button if you're misbehaving, that eject
Speaker 1: is not for the CD, it's for you.
Speaker 2: You're going out of the car window.
Speaker 4: You used to have cars that had the CD player
Speaker 4: like under the seat and you could have like five
Speaker 4: stuckers under.
Speaker 3: Yeah, or Mitch's too young, Yeah, you're too young.
Speaker 1: My mum always used to tell me that if you
Speaker 1: put the car lights on when you were driving and
Speaker 1: drove for any distance with the internal car lights on
Speaker 1: at night time, it was illegal and we were get
Speaker 1: pulled over by the police.
Speaker 5: Georgie says, when the kids want to watch TV and
Speaker 5: I don't want them to, a convince them that the
Speaker 5: Wiggles are asleep.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Fair, that's good. The Wiggles are is alive. I
Speaker 2: think this is good.
Speaker 4: Lottie Lotty said, I gas lit my kids into believing
Speaker 4: their noses turned red every time they lie, but only
Speaker 4: the adults can see it.
Speaker 3: When you we the pool and it turns.
Speaker 5: Back, it's fake.
Speaker 2: Ren Sais.
Speaker 5: I told my kid that there were ants that come
Speaker 5: out from under his bed when it's dark, so he
Speaker 5: doesn't get out of bed.
Speaker 4: Nohow me, because you've got to be able to get
Speaker 4: out of bed if you're scared or need to.
Speaker 2: We Yeah, and you also can't like traumatize your children.
Speaker 5: Wait, Amy's given us a call. Hey, Amy, what do
Speaker 5: you tell your kids?
Speaker 1: Hi?
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 4: I tell my kids that if they eat boggers will
Speaker 4: take them to the hospital and the doctor will have
Speaker 4: to take their.
Speaker 2: Boogers out by surgery. That's also traumatizing.
Speaker 4: There's something disgusting about thinking about someone eating boggers, isn't
Speaker 4: there No, it's a little bit of a snatch, like
Speaker 4: they don't They also think it tastes good, like it's
Speaker 4: just what kids.
Speaker 2: Some kids do. They're like, it's nice.
Speaker 1: Do you know what what My oldest has just started doing.
Speaker 1: She she came into the bedroom the other morning and
Speaker 1: she was like, hey, Mommy, I just put this in
Speaker 1: the glass.
Speaker 2: I have a glass cup next to sink. She's like,
Speaker 2: I'm just putting this in the.
Speaker 1: Glass cup and I was like, what is it? And
Speaker 1: she goes, Oh, it's my scab. I've been collecting that.
Speaker 1: She got four scabs. There was four scabs in the
Speaker 1: glasscar next to the sink.
Speaker 2: That makes kids a gross.
Speaker 5: She needs to see someone because that's that. Jeffrey Dahmer
Speaker 5: started doing it, and he starts collecting scabs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think roadkill.
Speaker 5: Okay, very different?

Speaker 3: of disgusting, my fiance and Ben.
Speaker 4: Has been encouraged to do a pretty wild thing to
Speaker 4: help treat an injury. I have not heard of this
Speaker 4: before in my life, and I think you're going to
Speaker 4: be just as shocked all right after
Speaker 1: This on the pickup
