Welcome to speed round Sunday on the
Parenting Roundabout podcast, where we share a

2
00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:11.880
mini episode from our past for your
weekend listening pleasure. We'll be back tomorrow

3
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:19.199
with a brand new episode. What
was the last text that you sent to

4
00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:26.120
a family member, so, Nicole, was it something exciting about with one

5
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:30.519
of your Australian visitors or was it
like hurry up, it's time to leave.

6
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:35.200
No, actually is and this I
didn't mean to do it this way

7
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:39.320
or set it up like that,
but this is literally what could because when

8
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:44.719
we first started to plan a time
to record this podcast, I said that

9
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:47.799
I couldn't do it at a certain
time because I had to go get our

10
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:55.079
old blue car smog tested. So
I went today and I sent my family

11
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:59.560
a text as I was waiting for
it to get smoged. And that turned

12
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:03.239
out to be the last text message
I sent my family on our group chat

13
00:01:03.239 --> 00:01:08.000
on our group text, and it
was getting the blue car smocked. Everyone

14
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:18.200
crossed their fingers as in please,
I hope it passes because I just don't

15
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:22.480
want to deal with repairing it.
I'm just enjoying the verbs smocked. In

16
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:26.359
this in this context, we all
know what what I'm talking about right,

17
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:33.799
Yeah, I think that's a California
thing. But yes, okay, is

18
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:38.480
it so you don't we have Yeah, we like our smog out here,

19
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.760
you know. Oh i'd like for
those those things who don't know what I'm

20
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:46.519
talking about. It whatever. Yeah, it's when you have to go get

21
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:52.680
your car checked to make sure that
it's not putting out all sorts of fumes

22
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:56.359
into the atmosphere, and especially if
it's older, you have to get it

23
00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:00.599
checked once a year. And if
it's doesn't pass the small pog tasts,

24
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:04.280
then you've got to get it repaired, and I could, you know,

25
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.840
be costly. So it's like,
okay, cross my fingers, hope it

26
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:13.960
passes. So did it pass?
It did? Successfully smogged? Yes,

27
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:22.360
all those fingers did the job.
A good thing? You texted? So

28
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:27.479
that was my last test. Very
good, very nice. How about you,

29
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.560
Terry. I'm looking at my phone. I don't have any good I

30
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:36.599
mean, the most recent ones are
just like you know, yes or happy

31
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:39.039
face. Those aren't interesting. So
I'll go through one. I'll tell a

32
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:45.479
bad story on myself. My husband
went, he's just recently got a new

33
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:49.039
job, and he went to fill
out paperwork for it and I had told

34
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:53.000
him I had given him a deposits
from our checkbook, and I said,

35
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:58.120
you know, get direct deposit.
I must have direct deposit because he used

36
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:00.120
his old job. He used to
always like getting paper paychecks. But you

37
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:04.240
know, I'm the one who pays
the bills, and the time laps between

38
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.319
when that paper paycheck is put in
your hand and the money is available to

39
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:13.439
me is unacceptable now in this century. So it's like, get the direct

40
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:15.560
deposits. So you know, he
goes off and does this stuff, and

41
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:21.599
I I guess it was all done
online, and it sent him emails with

42
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:24.439
copies of all the things, and
I get I have his email on my

43
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:28.319
phone because he never checks his email, so I check it for him,

44
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:31.560
and I see all these things coming
through, and I'm looking, oh interesting,

45
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:34.919
and I'm looking opening a little PDFs
and I see the one for the

46
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:37.400
banking, so let me check and
make sure we got the direct deposit.

47
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:42.639
And I open it and it says
paper checks, and the top of my

48
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:46.319
head blew off, and I start. I had this ridiculous tantrum, which

49
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:49.240
is why I'm always afraid, because
it's like I tamped stuff down, and

50
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:52.960
I tamp stuff down and then some
stupid thing causes everything to explode. So

51
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:57.159
I have a text here on my
phone all caps, did you not take

52
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:02.800
direct deposit? So what it turned
out was that he could not get the

53
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:06.919
thing to take the direct deposit.
He kept putting the number in and it

54
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:10.520
wouldn't work, and it wouldn't work, and it wouldn't work. So finally

55
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:13.759
the ladies there said, just put
down paper check, we'll figure it out.

56
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:15.599
We'll get it working for you.
So in the first place, it

57
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:16.959
was not his fault. He had
tried to do that in correct deposit,

58
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:23.279
and of course, because this is
what happens to us controlling people, the

59
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:26.240
reason it didn't work, folks,
is because I gave him a deposit slip

60
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:28.959
which has the wrong routing number on
it. You have to give a check

61
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:31.920
the check has the right routing number. So it was my fault that he

62
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:36.040
didn't do it. So I will
look at this text every now and then,

63
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:41.639
all in caps, and remember the
fury with which I typed it,

64
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:48.120
and use it as a reminder that
I'm a complete idiot. So that was

65
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:54.759
my last embarrassing text. Anyway,
I did something like that recently where it

66
00:04:54.839 --> 00:05:00.600
wasn't by text but where I hollered
at my husband letting my my daughter go

67
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:05.240
somewhere without unloading the dishwasher. First
yeah, and then yeah, she did

68
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:12.160
unload it. She unloaded it between
the time that I checked and got annoyed

69
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:20.720
about it and the time speeds to
be a periodic speed round inappropriate rages you

70
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:25.839
had done recently. Oh my gosh, I think that to how angry I

71
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:30.279
was, it was so stupid.
Why do we sometimes you just need to

72
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:39.199
explode right? Well, my my
last one is not very exciting either.

73
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:45.000
It was that my husband sent a
picture. He got some kind of offer

74
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:50.120
to get free playing cards with a
with a photo that he supplied, and

75
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:55.439
so he showed us the picture,
the goofy goofy picture of our dog that

76
00:05:55.560 --> 00:06:00.800
he got on some playing cards.
So to send back the heart eye am

77
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:09.560
oji. I can show you guys
the dog picture and you'll you'll have smiling

78
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:10.759
heart eyes. Tool
