the crystal. Yes, so his daughter in a nutshell? His
daughter brought home right before Christmas vacation like two years ago.
Speaker 2: By the way, this was like three years ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like three weeks was like the first year we
started school. Yeah, okay, took home the Natalia had a
little crystal that Sonny got for her, and she asked
me to borrow it. Yeah, if she could borrow it,
and she brought it home and it was Christmas vacation,
and Natalia was like, I really want to get that
back because I want her to lose it because it's
special to me. So I and okay, So that happened.
Then I sent an email to their her teacher about
something completely different, had nothing to do with the crystal.
And then I said, ohps, just to make sure I'm
you know, two weeks on vacation, Natalia's friend brought home
Little Samantha brought home the crystal, and she wants to
make sure she gets it back. Okay, Christmas vacation comes,
I get a bring phone call. Hello in the middle
of Christmas vacation. It's like eight thirty nine o'clock at night,
Missus Corolla. This Samantha's dad. Oh hi, Samantha's dad. Yeah, Uh,
why did you send an email to her teacher about
our teacher about about little Samantha bringing home. If you
want that crystal back, I could bring it to your
house right now. And I said what I said, I
was emailing the teacher about something completely different, and I
wasn't like ratting her out. I was just reminding her
to remember to get the crystal. You know, to let's
make sure they get the crystal back or whatever.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: It was very, It was very. It had nothing to
do with really anyway. And he's like, you should have

what could go on?
Speaker 2: Really?
Speaker 1: I didn't know in second grade that her borrowing a
crystal is gonna go on what record? For what? Anyway?
He's like, what theft? Are you implying that she? So
now you're saying your daughter and even accusing your daughter
of anything, right, And she's like, He's like, my daughter
would never lie. And your daughter said that she could
borrow it for the whole Christmas vacation. And he's like,
I'll bring it over tonight. I said, it's nine o'clock
at night. I'm going to bed anyway. Half hour later
of arguing back and forth, right before he called, I
text ed the the TV guy and he has a
three one o three one oh number. The dad has
a three one o one, so a half hour conversation
goes by with this nut job. I hang up and
then three one oho number calls. I pick it up
and I go ED and I don't hear anything. I go,

school just called and he just went off on me.
He's a nutcase, he was going on. And he's like,
and I'm like, and by the way, what dad, I
could understand a phone mom, but what what are you
doing all day that you got to call another mom
at nine o'clock at night on Christmas vacation. What a
nut job. I'm telling you, Ed don't have kids because
everybody's fucking nuts. And the guy goes, uh, this is
the nut job. This is it, And I was like, oh,
and I was like, all of a sudden, I felt
like Vinnie Barberine, like you know, it's like, you know,
we just had it out, like of course, like I'm
just venting to a friend, like you know, I'm not
like I anyway, and he goes, that's okay because I
have the whole conversation recorded anyway, And I was like.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: And I was like, by the way, that's illegal, and
he goes, yeah, uh huh, bye, and he hangs up. Okay,
oh here the ps then he and during the conversation,
I said, I'm sorry, I don't even know what your
daughter looks like.
Speaker 2: I don't know he.
Speaker 1: Because he's like, why didn't you come to talk to me?
He said, I don't know what you look like? And
he said, what do you mean you don't know what
I look like?
Speaker 2: You just waved at me.
Speaker 1: At the at the Christmas play yesterday or two days ago?
And I was like, oh what like okay, I to
this day start crazy raze crazy.
Speaker 2: So many people.
Speaker 1: Okay, here it comes. So a couple days ago, Natalia's
in her bedroom on FaceTime, so she does a lot
of face time for homework. Okay, so she's doing FaceTime
in her bedroom. I'm thinking she's doing homework. She doesn't
tell me this. She tells me this like a week later,
right before we leave for Palm Springs. She was laughing
at her and Olga had like a side joke, and
I was like, what are you guys talking about? And they
start giggling and Olga's like, did you tell your mom?
And Natalia's like no, I didn't want to, Like no,
should I tell her? And all goes like, yeah, I
tell her, and she's like, okay, Mommy, don't get mad.
I go what she's like. I was facetiming with Samantha
the other day and she said her dad walked in
the room and said, who are you talking to? And
she said, I'm talking to Natalia and he said, get
off the phone with her. I I her. He says,
I don't like it. I don't like her mom. Her
mom is nuts. Get off the phone with her. Oh
oh my god, he said nuts. But he said, I
don't like her mom. Get off the phone with her.
And then and she's like, hold on and then she
hits mute, and Natalie is like imitating. She's like and
then I see her going tad blah blah blah blah blah.
She's like with her hands flaving every like my dad,
but dad.
Speaker 2: And then she comes back on.
Speaker 1: She's like, all right, I gotta go. And then he
says in the background, see see I wouldn't want to
be uh.
Speaker 2: What a fucking weird.
Speaker 1: I know now I want to know what he looks like,
because now I want to find his ass.
Speaker 2: I so you haven't seen him since no, or you didn't.
Maybe you just have seen him, but you didn't know.
Speaker 1: Might have seen him. I'm sure I've seen him, but
I have no idea what he looks like. I don't
know what the kid my god, he needs help, Yes
he does.
Speaker 2: She was like.
Speaker 1: Natale was like, can you believe that? See Asia wouldn't
want to be a She's like, I took more offense
to that than the part where he said I don't
like her her mom. He's like, She's like, I didn't
care about that, but the like, how offensive like to
say that to me? Seeazia wouldn't want to be what
is he? Ten?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I know?
Speaker 2: Also, why would he be saying that while his daughter
is on fit, knowing that your child's gonna hear him
talking shit about.
Speaker 1: I know, I know what. I love this guy. I
can't decide if I see him or if I love him.
Speaker 2: By the way, it's recorded, the whole there's so many
levels of wrong about him, but it's gonna go on
her per permanent record. What are you talking about? I
didn't file a police report. I asked for the fucking
crystal bag.
Speaker 1: I know it's not a police report. I'll come over
right now. I'll come over right now. Uh you wait
at me. Yeah, you waided at me. Why wouldn't you
come down? Why wun't you obsessed with me?
Speaker 2: Yeah, by the way, you probably this is probably just
an excuse for me to come over to your house
right now.
Speaker 1: And oh, I know I should file a police report
on you.
Speaker 2: You find I should take out her straining order Jesus Christ.
And then I have not heard, by the way, about
this girl pretty much since like Natalia doesn't really talk
about her.
Speaker 1: I don't even think she's wearing a class with her, Like,
she hasn't brought her up at all recently. So I'm like,
why are you a fake timing with her? She's like,
because I had a question and nobody was answering me.
They have a BAK group text about her, nobody but her.
So she's like, I'll let me call you and I'll
you know. So they got on the phone, and then
the dad walked in and was like, oh, you're dying,
And he's like, oh, get off the phone right now.
Speaker 2: Then I can't believe he's so mad about that.
Speaker 1: I know, I don't like her. I hate her, especially.
Speaker 2: After an understanding. I mean that it was a miscommunication,
Like you weren't complaining, right I had.
Speaker 1: I told him. I said, sorry, sir, I did not.
This was like a PS, missus Carnes, can you make
sure Natalia gets it back? That's it, that's all. I
was asking about something else, and he was like, why
did would you even say that to her? Why we're
on two week vacation. Why wouldn't you just ask me?
Speaker 2: Cause you don't even know him.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Oh my god, oh my god. This
is why was he calling back to I still don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know. We'll never know. I know, because now
he won't ever speak to you again.
Speaker 1: I see, I see, yeah, oh, next time I see him.
Speaker 2: So I had a little situation that you just reminded
me of that happened at the movies this week. Okay,
So I take the kids to see Boss Baby and
it was so bad. Have you seen it? Yeah? Yeah,
you saw it. Yeah. I ended up like on my
phone like reading Facebook articles like links.
Speaker 1: Can't you do that?
Speaker 2: Because I can't well, because I was in the back,
I was behind my kids. There's nobody behind me, and
I was like under a sweatshirt and I just started
reading yeah uh yeah. I didn't want to be like
that guy. On sword and Scale got shot for texting.
No nobody cared it was you. You couldn't even see.
I had the screen dim I had it on dimmed,
and I was and no one anyway. Okay, So here's
what happened. The kids are sitting that it's a small theater.
It was very there was not that many people in it,
and so there was LB Stadium the but it just
so happened that the prime kind of seats. It was
very small theater. There was only like seven rows or something.
So the seat I got a seat behind my three
kids down the row from me is like a family.
It's like like a woman and like a kid, maybe
like a like a fourteen year old kid, and like
another woman. Okay. Then next to Elbe is so Sadie
Matty Lbe. Next to Elbe is like a couple and
a kid. So the movie starts the people in my row,
but down from me, the boy starts talking very loudly
like he's but he's having like little vocal outbursts, and
I realized very quickly that he has special needs. But
he's like no, no, no, like kind of kind of
yelling stuff and like, and at first I was like
what the fuck? And then I realized. Then I realized, like, okay,
this guy has special needs. It was disruptive, but I
also knew that it was more disruptive to me because
I was in the same row and there were some
people sitting next to me, and then these people and
that we yes, we did kind of keep looking over
there a little bit because it would be a little
bit startling, like you just hear some commotion and then
we look over okay, but it wasn't really bothering Sadie,
Maddie and LB. But then like ten minutes into the oh, okay,
So I went out. I have to get this right
because it's important to the story. I went out. I
hardly ever do this, but the sound was super loud.
I mean everybody was like closing covering their ears. So
I had gone. I went out and I was like, hey,
and I think the reason why is because there were
so few people in the theater that the normal sound
level what didn't work for the So I went out
and I was like, hey, sorry to be a dick,
but can you guys turn it down a little bit.
It's like just black. So they're like okay. So then
the guy a guy came in to like, I think,
to listen to the sound to see how the sound
was somebody who worked there. Then he left. Then okay,
these people this it was like a couple sitting next
to Elbe. They just start talking. They start having a
conversation in like a regular voice, like they're talking, and
then they're talking to their kid, and then at one
point they and the guy's like do you have to
go to the bathroom? Do you have to go? And
it's really loud, and they're talking for a while, and
Elbe starts looking back at me like what the fuck?
What the fuck? And then the guy takes the kid
out to the bathroom, and I'm like, well, hopefully that
will be the end of it. They come back in, though,
and he's talking and then he's talking to his wife
and in regular conversation like that loud. So finally this
is going on for a little while. So finally I
lean over and I'm like, excuse me, can you stop talking?
I swear to you, I'm not like a person, but
it was, but Elbie's looking at but it was really
inappropriate and crazy, So I go, can you stop talking?
And he just like kind of stared at me, and
then he stopped, but then he started talking again. So
a little while ago, it goes by an Elbie goes
like leans back and she's like and I kind of
lean over to her and she's like, mom, like, he's
still talking, Like I can't concentrate on the movie. She
Elbe told me that at one point she asked him
to stop talking, and then he just stared at her
for a second and then went back to his conversation.
So it was super fucking annoying. So I go out, okay,
and I I go out and I'm like, I'm so sorry.
I know you guys are gonna think I'm crazy, but
now I got another issue. There's some people and they're talking,
and I go, Now, there's two situations in there. One
of them the kid has special needs. We can't do
anything about that, like, don't tell them to be quiet.
I go, But it's the people. They're kind of in
the middle. I kind of try to describe. I go,
they's just been talking for like thirty minutes and it
won't stop and it's driving us crazy. So the guy
comes back in the special needs kid is still talking
a little bit. He leans over and he tells them
can you guys please keep it down? And I was like,
damn it right, yeah, okay, So then I was like
what shame? Okay, So then late so then the movie's
still going on, and now I'm like, this movie is terrible.
These fucking people won't stop talking. Now the guy told
the wrong people to be quiet because that guy can't
help it especial needs kid. So then the movie ends
and Elbe is like, those people talk the whole time.
It was like awful. And I was like, I know,
I'm so sorry I complained, but and I go, you
know what, We're gonna go get some free passes because
this is this was ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we go out.
Speaker 2: I say to the late. I go up to the lady.
I'm like, okay, look, I know I'm coming off like
crazy town. I already came out here a couple of
times of different and she's like, go, but this was insane.
I go, these people talk through the whole movie, and
I go, it was two separate situations. I go, your
guy came in, but he told the wrong people to
be quiet. He told this guy with special needs to
be quiet, and that was two separate situations. These people
they couldn't help it. Okay. While that's going on, the
woman who is with the special needs kid, I think
that was her son, comes walking up to me. Oh no,
and she was like really upset. Oh Jesus, now, mind you.
There's hardly anybody there, and she was like, you're complaining
about my son and he has special needs. And I
was like, oh my god, I go like everybody and
I wasn't. I go, I wasn't complaining about your son.
She goes, yes, you were. I saw you. I saw
you look at him, and then I saw they came
in and they told him to be quiet and he
can't help it. You should be lucky that your children
like you. You should be grateful that your children. And
I was like, no, I am grateful. I go, I'm
I go, I'm telling you. And then I said, then
I'm taking I'm at the woman. I go, tell her,
I go, I wasn't I told them that it wasn't you.
I go, they told the wrong people to be good.
And she was like like she was gave me like
a harmph and like turned and like stormed off with
her son with special needs. And I'm standing there and
Albie's like, what's going on. I was like, oh my god, LB,
I go, Elbie. You know, I wasn't complaining about them.
I told them. And then I'm now I'm saying to
the lady. I'm like, I mean, I still do want
my passes. I go, but I go, but I hope
I go. But now she thinks I was talking about her.
But I wasn't. I go because these people in front
of me did not have special needs. They had no excuse.
They were just had no etiquette.
Speaker 1: My god.
Speaker 2: So then I go upstairs to the box office. The
woman's like, go upstairs to the box office and get
your passes. And then I see the lady who was
upset with me, and I was like, excuse me, excuse me.
I want to make some amends, like I want to
straighten this shit out, you know. And she was like
would it. She was like wouldn't. She was ignoring me.
And then I was like, excuse me, I go, please
please listen to me. I need to talk to you
for a second. She turns around, she's fully crying. I
was mortified. I was like, okay. I was like, I
am so so sorry. I go, but I swear to you,
I go. I know it looks bad. I go, this
looks really bad. She was like, they told my son
to be quiet, and I was like, I know totally.
I go, but there was a mix up. I go,
you probably couldn't hear, just like my kids couldn't hear
your son. I go, I know I heard him. I
knew he had special needs. I go. I did look
over there because it was loud. I go, but I
didn't complain about it because it wasn't bothering me. My
kids weren't even aware of that.
Speaker 1: I go.
Speaker 2: There were people sitting next to my kids. I go,
I swear to you. I complained about those people, and
then they told the wrong people to be quiet. I go,
I'm telling you the truth as my daughter. I go.
Ask my daughter. I go, Elbie's like, she's telling the truth.
Be goes, I even told them to be quiet. She goes,
we weren't talking about your kid. And I was like, oh
my god. And then she she finally she was like,
I was like, it must be really hard. I go,
I totally understand why you must have thought that, and
she was like, it's very hard. It's very difficult, like
people don't understand and this happens a lot, and I
was like, I'm sure it does. I go, I hate
that you would think I'm the kind of person I
would never do that.
Speaker 1: The fucking kid that went in and told the wrong
per like, why can't people listen? Like it's not these people,
it's the people.
Speaker 2: Why why I felt so bad? I was like, oh
my god.
Speaker 1: Here take my free passes. Lady, did you get them? Oh?
Speaker 2: Wait, I got them. After I had said that to her,
then I went and then then then then she left,
but she she was like, it's okay, it's okay. And
I was like, I'm telling you. I wouldn't lie to
you about this, like I did not complain about you.
We were all fine with it. I go, I hope
your son enjoyed the movie, like you know, he sounded
like he did.
Speaker 4: Sure.
Speaker 2: I mean he was saying yelling no a lot of screens,
so maybe he didn't.
Speaker 1: But well, that movie is.
Speaker 2: For the movie wasn't great?
Speaker 1: Oh my god? Can you When she was.
Speaker 2: Crying, I'd like, hurt this woman's soul that I.
Speaker 1: Can't even this story.
Speaker 2: I wanted it to be like a heartwarming, like how
somebody you know that? Then she like goes and puts
it on Facebook about how this great lady like where
everyone was understanding of her son having but no, now.
Speaker 1: She's gonna be like on Facebook on his fucking Yeah.
Speaker 2: Who are these people that would make they would tell
us personally special. I was like, no, I do think she.
I was swearing to God up and down, and Elbe
was vouching for me. I was like, Elby, tell her,
and Albie's like, yeah, the people sitting next to me
were the ones being loud. That's who my mom complained about.
I even told him to.
Speaker 1: Be quiet, I go listening.
Speaker 2: Well, I think she wasn't even aware of that situation.
She was a little bit further down, and in my
ro this was happening right next to Elbe. I think
she was so busy, probably feeling with her son situation
right that she wasn't even aware that somebody else was talking.
Which was more disruptive to my kid because Elbie was
literally sitting in the seat next to the guy that
was just like carrying on a conversation.
Speaker 1: And that guy probably just left, like dude to do
to do with his day, no problem. Meanwhile, chicks crying
and you're and your kids are like like, he didn't
get to enjoy the movie, even though the movie sucked,
Like what the fuck? Why can't people listen?
Speaker 2: Like I don't.
Speaker 1: I know when people get shit wrong, it's like they
get it, they're not paying attention. It's like I saying,
like it happens all the time. I feel like, now
it's getting worse and worse. It's crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But it would have if if at the moment
when the guy said to the wrong people, if I'd
gone over there and been like, I'm sorry, he just
told you to be quiet, like he didn't realize, then
it would have been more dramatic. So I was just
like whatever, or let's just hope that goes.
Speaker 1: But you get the wrong people, yeah, you'll see.
Speaker 2: He did that and then left, like walked out of
the theater. So it's like I couldn't if I if
I went back out and got him again, then now
I'm just like nutnuts.
Speaker 1: I know. I know.
Speaker 2: Now I'm the Geode guy, the Crystal guy.
Speaker 1: I know. Oh my god, So that was crazy, crazy,
that's crazy. I know.
Speaker 2: I was a terrible movie, by the way, I'm really bad.
I know, it like unwatchable kind of yeah, all over
the place, no good jokes, no good jokes. The only
like comical jokes were stuff that kids wouldn't get because
it's like office speak. Kids don't work in an office.
Speaker 1: Right, I didn't even pay attention.
Speaker 2: There were like jokes that were kind of like corporate speak,
you know, like he was because he was like a
corporate guy management. But that's not a joke that kids
understand or relate to, you know.
Speaker 1: Like I always wonder how do these movies get made?
Who reads this script goes, wow, this is great, let's
make it.
Speaker 2: Doesn't It doesn't work in an office, So how are
they they? Oh, the parents are going to think that's hilarious.
Well no, because we're seeing it with our kids, and like.
Speaker 1: No, I know, is it a Disney movie?
Speaker 2: Pixar?
Speaker 1: What was it? I feel like it was dream Works.
I want to know, because.
Speaker 2: Oh, I think it was Brandon.
Speaker 1: I think it was a Disney movie because I.
Speaker 2: Think it was it was something big probably not Pixar, Pixars.
Speaker 4: No, No, not Universal here, oh.
Speaker 2: Disney Disney Universal go together?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: All right, Oh dream Works.
Speaker 2: It was DreamWorks, but that's not Pixar.
Speaker 1: No, those are two Pixar. Disney were together, and I.
Speaker 2: Think DreamWorks has some hits and big misses sometimes, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they do, Like dream Works is like Shrek.
Speaker 2: And who did planes?
Speaker 4: The movie Planes?
Speaker 2: Was Pixar phenomenally Pixar?
Speaker 4: Oh really no, yeah, Pixar was like their their planes
after I think they did Cars two and then they did.
Speaker 1: Plan Cars two was horrendous.
Speaker 2: Plain was awful.
Speaker 1: I know because usually Pixar knocks it out of the park,
but those two that they stunk up the theaters. Yeah. No,
Cars is like one of the best movies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Cars really good Cars wasn't Cars? Monsters Inc. Those
are great in Pixar, Right, yes, okay, but Monsters Inc.
All the Monsters Incs are good.
Speaker 1: Monsters Inc.
Speaker 2: Monsters University is cute. And what's the second one? Yeah
it's there's only two. Yeah, okay, those are both great movies.
Speaker 1: Even toy Stories Toyster is great. Yeah yeah those are Pixar.
Yeah yeah, Universal dream Works.
Speaker 2: M Yeah. I don't know how Boss Baby got made?
Speaker 1: What the Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Just not good the concepts were. It really felt the
script really felt like thrown together, like they'd be like, oh, well,
how's it going to end? It just nothing really fit together.
It didn't have like a call like a nice callback
or like yeah. It just felt like they just kept
going like, Okay, well, let's have this happen, or let's
have that, like, h we need something to happen.
Speaker 1: Right, It's pretty bad when my kids are just like
it's not funny, like they're trying to force a laugh,
like when you see a movie you want to laugh
out loud.
Speaker 2: I know we talked about this. I haven't seen it,
and we talked about it a little bit on Tuesday.
But my kids loved Moana. Yeah, so they and they're
begging me to watch it with them.
Speaker 1: You haven't seen it either, That's how I loved it.
You gotta Seehunt of the Wild Wilder People, Hunt for
the hilarious movie. The kids will love it. You'll love it.
It's it's hilarious.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's very fun. And did I ever tell you
to watch Good Burger? Talking about that a long time ago,
But I can make a note that welcome to Good Burger.
Can I take your order of the Good Burger? It's
a movie, right, it's a movie. Yeah, it's really really cute.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I also watched the movie on Netflix. That's really cute
and really fun. For the whole family. It's called Sing Street.
Speaker 1: Oh I've been seeing we Almost everybody loves that.
Speaker 4: Movie really really good.
Speaker 2: I don't think my my younger ones would like it.
But it's hard to understand.
Speaker 1: What do you mean you're doing well?
Speaker 4: I mean they're they're they're they're accent. Yeah, they're Irish
kids in the eighties, but it's not they're not that
nick of accents. You can still understand that.
Speaker 1: I have I have the subtitles up on the screen
all the time.
Speaker 2: I think that's a good idea.
Speaker 1: I always because I can't hear very good what they say,
like what to rewind, And then it takes me ever
to get through a movie because I gotta stop and rewind,
so I.
Speaker 2: Don't understand the accents. Like I went and saw years
ago with John lock Stock and two Smoke and Barrels
or something, and I was lost the entire time. I'm like,
I was like, it might as well have been in German.
I could understand.
Speaker 1: Yeah with Brad Pitt, no, oh no, didn't Brad Pitt
have a bad like a heart time?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: I think this was like real British people or was
this guy.
Speaker 1: Richie, Yes, Guy Richie, Yes, you gotta.
Speaker 3: Have what All of a sudden, I'm like, what, who's
got a gun?
Speaker 2: Why does it? What happened? Who died? That's me the
whole time. I'm that person. John's like, oh god, just
let's just turn it off. I'll just watch it on
my own.
Speaker 1: I know I'm the same way.
Speaker 2: He loved the movie too, he thought it was like
a great afterwards. And I'm like, how did you understand it? Like,
what's wrong with me that I didn't understand?
Speaker 1: I know, I can't understand any I have to have that.
I have to for everything and all the TVs. And
then Adam comes home He's like, how do you get
the subtitles off the screen. I'm like, well, how do
you hear anything?
Speaker 2: What else is going on recommending stuff? Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had a showdown with one in Italians with
a teacher you did, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Please tell me all about it.
Speaker 1: So all right, So this teacher who cares if I
get in trouble. It's only a couple of weeks left.
She's one of these teachers, you know, She's one of
these ladies that like rolls her eyes at everything and
like looks you up and down, like you know, like
at least I how she looks at me. I don't know.
Like I had a meeting one time with her and
the other teachers, the IEP meeting, and they were talking
about Valley Forge and I said, they said, we need
parents to volunteer, and I said, you know what, I said,
my husband actually might volunteer. She looked at me like
like she turned her chair and looked at me, and
she goes, you know, what happens in Valley Forge stays
in Valley Forge, and now he's he's not allowed to
talk about it on the radio. And I was like,
back up, bitch, like no, yeah, okay, really he was
gonna snap polaroids the kids sleeping and they're sleep and
posted on what the fuck?
Speaker 2: But also like why is it a secret? I don't
know who cares?
Speaker 1: No, Like you can't talk about like but that makes
me think that she's already labeled our family, like you know,
the loud mouth, right the mouth. I guess, I don't know,
but she like, okay, So one time Sonny said, she said, okay,
no homework for the weekend, and then Sonny said, but
what about page one twenty five? I thought we were
supposed to do that and she said, oh, that was
last week's homework unless you didn't do it, but you
probably didn't do it, so you should do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yes, And Sonny does not lie. And Sonny's told me
that story a bunch of times. This happened months ago,
and he's like, imagine if I was a kid that
was embarrassed easily, Luckily I didn't get embarrassed, but he
brought it up a few times, so making me think
he did get embarrassed by it. So then there's been
a little and there's that. Then there's she's Natalia's homeroom teacher,
and she's been sort of a bitch to Natalia to
be honest, and Natalia has you know, now, Natalia can
push buttons. I get that, but you know what, you're
the teacher, Okay, she's the kid. So when Natalia has
a question and comes up to you and says, missus
so and so I can't I can't figure out and
she could just go over to the to the i
EP room, she says, just go over there and get
it done over there, like just cuts her off. That's
what made me go into the When Natalia told the
story in front of me and Olga all goes like, Minette,
do you know that she's been doing that to Natalia?
And I said, well, I know that she's been short,
but I'm but I'm always the one going but Natalia,
you might I'm sure you did something to push your buttons.
Olga's like it's too much already. She's there's been a
lot of those little incidences that's happened between her and Natalia.
And ol goes like, you got that's not right, like
it's making her dread, you know, going to her classroom.
And I said, so, now, what what don't you want me?
What should I do? I said, because right then and there,
I was like, give me the phone. I was gonna
I was gonna email her. I was going to fire
off an email like what what, what's the deal? And
Olga goes, no, she says, send her an email and
say you need to have a few minutes to talk
to her. I go on, I gotta go talk to her.
What I do?
Speaker 2: I need all going to be my mom?
Speaker 1: I know, I said, because she's lived it, and she's like,
I wish I would have done it for Paolo when
I was when she was young, I didn't stick up
for her and I didn't know that some teacher was
being mean to her anyway. And she said, this is
it's not right, you know, and and I said, okay.
She said just tell her. Don't tell her what it's about,
just say you need a few minutes to talk to her.
And I said, all right, how about you come with me?
And she said I'll go with you, but I'm not
going to say anything. And she's like, you can do it.
I said, all right, fine. So I walked into her
classroom the other day after school and because I just said,
I just need a few minutes with you, and uh
so I went in there and she said, come on in,
sit down. You know, she's very You could tell she
had her guard up. And she said, I didn't pull
any of Natalia's stuff because I didn't know what you
wanted to talk about. And I said, I'm not I'm
not here to talk about her grades. I said, I'm
here to talk to see if everything is okay between
you and Italian, if there's any issues going on with
Natalia that you think I should be working on, or
is something you know. I said it very I was
very proud of myself. I said, any any of her
behavioral any kind of behavior, any kind of drama, anything
happening that I should know. And she's like, well, and
I said, She's like, can you give me an example?
And I said, well, she came in yesterday and she
asked you a question because she raised her hand and
she came up and she started to ask the question
and you cut her off, which you seem to do
that I've heard from her. And you told her just
go to just go to missus so and so's classroom
and do it. And you're very curt with her, and
you're very short, and I don't know if there's something
going on and that I should know about. And I said,
and believe me, I know Natalia. I know she can
push buttons. I know that she's And I said, but
we're working on her issues at home, and we're aware
of it and we're working on it. But is there
something between you and her that I, you know, should
know about? And she said she got very red in
the face, and I love it as she said, huh, yeah,
she did come up to me yesterday, she said, but uh,
I don't if I did cut her off. I didn't
mean to cut her off, but if she perceived everything
is if she perceived it that way. And I said, well,
there's another time that she raised her hand and you said, uh, yes, Natalia,
and she asked a question. Oh no, no, no, no,
there was another time. Okay, Natalia has been complaining about
what's his name, the kid that sits next to her, okay,
her seat partner for a long time. And there was
a day a couple of days ago that Natalia they
were standing up and she couldn't see and she's like, Jacob,
I can't see it, and he's like, well, scoot back.
Speaker 2: So she scooted.
Speaker 1: She scooted way back, and missus so and Thompson turns
around and says, Natalia, scoot your chair back, and so
she scooted back a little bit, like an inch, and
then she turned back around. She goes, you got a strike.
And then because she didn't scoot it all the way back,
and she's like, but I can't see. And then she
turned back around. She goes, now, scoots you back again.
And then she scooted back again a little bit, and
so she says and then she says, now you have
two strikes. And I said, so, so what happened there?
Is it? Because you know Natalia War's glasses. She does
have bad eyesight, and she says she's never ever told
me that she has a problem seeing. I am aware
of her eyesight. That's why she sits so close. And
I know that she has an issue with her seat partner,
but she's never said anything to me about it. But
instead she's basically being defiant and uh, she's not That's
what she said. She's being defiant and when she does that,
I might have gotten short with her. And I said, well,
I understand that she gets defiant. And she said, but
if she would get she said, if she would have
came to me and said, you know what, Missus Thompson,
I'd like to move my I don't want to have
my seat partner or whatever, I'd be happy to do it.
Speaker 2: And I sebout it.
Speaker 1: I said, really, I said, because I had a talk
with her about that. I said, you know what, Natalia,
I bet you if you said, Missus Thompson, can I
have a few minutes with you during recess so I
can talk to you and then tell you that you
know she does she has issues with you know whatever, Jacob,
do you really think that you would have moved her?
You know?
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 1: I said to Natalia, why don't you try that? And
Natalia is like, I can, but I don't think she's
going to move me because what am I going to say?
That he grosses me out and that's why I need
to be moved.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: And I said, well, you can say that you know
that I don't know that that yeah, that he'd not
You can say gross, you astract, but he's distracting or
he he yeah that it's it is that, it's but
he bothers you or whatever. It's just not a good match.
It's not a good match. There's other kid you could
be sitting next to. And uh, I said, do you
really think you you would have moved her? And she's
like absolutely. I was like really, And then I said, well,
I also need to bring up the an incident with Sonny.
And see now Natai's Natalia, but Sonny they Sonny doesn't lie.
He doesn't lie, okay, and they know that and I
know that. And Sonny's brought this issue. Uh this this
one time where you said, you know, if we didn't
do it, then you must not have done it or
something like that, and he said, what if I was
a kid that got embarrassed easily, and she just like
stared at me and was like, was he embarrassed? And
I said he said he wasn't, but he and she's like, well,
maybe that's how he perceived it, but I didn't. I
don't think I would have said it that way. But
if I was dismissive, then I will apologize to him.
And I said, okay. And then there was another time
where you told you, oh, it was that incident where
now you have two strikes and now go to the other.
Then she said that she was teaching a lesson and
she said, Natalia, go into the other room, the IEP room,
go to thea go over there, and you're being disruptive,
so go into the other room. And she was quiet
and waited for Natalia to pack her stuff up and
go into the other room to continue her lesson. And
I told her that, and she said she got red
in the face again, and then she said she might
have perceived everything, might have perceived it that way, but
she's like, I don't think I was being I wasn't
being quiet waiting for her to leave the room. I
might have been doing something else and she might have
thought it was because I was waiting for her. Natalia
told me all her friends witnessed it and was like, wow,
like what the heck, Like she's never you know why she.
Speaker 2: Feel like these teachers sometimes they like when a child
is in the fifth grade, they're old enough to they're
going to remember this stuff. Like not only it's they're
not It's not the same as when they're in the
first grade. And I'm not saying it's okay when they're
younger either, but you're talking about kids that are that
are like almost teenagers. Yes, like they feel it. It's
not just how they perceive it. They understand context and
moods of people, and they know when they're being singled out,
and they know when somebody's having an actual reaction to
them and not just they so the whole Oh, I
don't know how she perceived it. Maybe if she was
in kindergarten right about fifth grade.
Speaker 1: That's what I said to her. I said, well, the
whole perceiving thing, I said, she's she's eleven. She's she's
almost eleven years old, and Natalia is very in tuned
with people, and she can feel if somebody's being annoyed.
Now I know again, I know that she's got her issues,
but she is a ten year old girl and you're
the teacher, and I can't have her yes. I was like, yeah,
I said, I can't have her coming home and feeling
like she doesn't want to go to school. She's never
had that that issue before and now like it's starting
to come up. And I know we're at the end
of the year, but it's it's been a tough year
for her and.
Speaker 2: I wish I would have good end of the year, bitch.
Speaker 1: Then she's like, we will ask always right. She was like,
we will end the year. I will. I will apologize
to both of them, and she says, we will end
the year on a good note. And I want her
to be able to come up to me and ask
me if she has questions and stuff like that. I
want to have that because.
Speaker 2: Well, if she's got an attitude with her, she's not
going to feel like she can go up and talk
to her. She's going to feel like, ugh, here comes
in Italia again, what's your problem?
Speaker 1: Right? That's and they all her friends, all her little friends,
and Sonny's Sonny too and his friends. We were all
talking about this teacher and how she has her favorites.
When Caitlyn comes over, she's like, oh hi, she gets
Kaitlyn on a big hug. Oh I oh, Isabelle. Isabelle
and Caitlyn can never do anything wrong. And I know
Isabelle and Caitlin and I they're great kids, and they're
also very studious, and you know, they get their shit
done and their teacher's pets and whatever, which is great.
It's fine. But if these fifth graders can already know
that she's got her favorites, I'm sure she knows an
Italian's feeling that she's got her ones that are she's
dreading too. And also, bitch, retire already. If you don't
want to work, and if you're if you're sick, if
kids are bothering you, you're a teacher, then retired, you
know what I mean. Like she's on that verge where
she's like, you know, just about ready for her paycheck
and call it a day, Like just fucking retire and
don't take it out on kids. Then you know, fuck
fuck off.
Speaker 2: It's just the worst.
Speaker 1: It's the worst.
Speaker 2: And so the thing is with kids, you know, they
have to go to school, right, and when they are
spending a day with that amount of time, Like I
always feel with my kids. Okay, if there's there's a
couple of teachers at our school, well they're not really teachers,
but like like, okay, I'll just say it. My kids
do not really care for the coach, their coach, but
they've got pe twice a week for forty five minutes
or whatever it is. So my feeling is like, look,
that's just life. You're not have to deal with people
that you don't get along with or they're not your favorite. Well,
but the coach yelled at me, and she yelled at
me and told me to go sit on the bench
or whatever. Okay, that sucks. I totally get it that.
If I were you, I would feel mad too. But
it's forty five minutes twice a week. It's not you,
but when it's their teacher, no, that's not acceptable. I
can't be mistreating the kids, even if it's not something big,
but it affects their self esteem, Like that's the person
that you're learning trying to learn right, right and every day.
Speaker 1: And I feel horrible because I let it go on
because I'm like Nata. Because Natai's brought it up a
few times and I'm like, well, you know you can
blah blah blah, I said. But then and then I said,
why don't you ask her to talk for a few
minutes and asked her if you could move blah blah blah.
And then and I told this to her, I said,
I've told Natalia she's because she said, I wish you
would have came to me earlier. And I said, well,
I tried to teach and Italian, you know, I always
gonna like your boss, You're not always gonna like your
the teacher you get. And she just sat there and
stared at me, and I was like, you know, so
I was trying to explain to her, like I'm not
going to come to your rescue. You have to figure
it out on your own. And maybe you are doing
something that is you know whatever, but it's gone on
too long and these certain situations that she's telling me
about is to me unacceptable. And you're her teacher and
she's a ten year old girl and she's trying to
learn from you, and good for you up and that,
you know. And she's like, no, we will end on
a good note. Well end the year on a good note.
I will apologize. So she did apologize to her. She's
and when I came home and told him to Oh,
it's going to be so awkward opposite.
Speaker 2: Because she's gonna apologe. She's gonna be extra nized to her.
Speaker 1: She has been, she's been to only been two days,
but yeah, she moved her a steep partner. She's like, oh,
thank god, I'm with you know, another boy that she likes.
And and I said, did she apologize, because she's kept
saying I'll apologize to both. Did she apologize to Sonny? No,
she hadn't said one word to Sonny, but I didn't
think she would. She's not Sonny's she's Sonni's like math
teacher and science teacher and that's it, you know. But
she's Natalia's homeroom teacher, right, and math and everything else.
But so I don't know.
Speaker 2: See, I think like one time with a teacher that
Mattie really liked, that you can have this problem sometimes.
Uh here here's an example similar but with a different
outcome where the teacher was Mattie's teacher and was is
a really amazing teacher who is I think very patient.
I mean, I'm not there, but one time Maddie was
and Maddie can be a little disruptive. I think he
gets like over excited and then like will I know,
because it's not just the one teacher, like he will
get talked to like you're being distracted or you're distracting
other people, and I guess he got a warning and
then the teacher sent him out of the room. And
so this is like their discipline. You get sent out
of if you're really being distracting or disruptive, they will
send you to another classroom. Well, Maddie is very sensitive
and not a bad obviously, Mattie is not a bad kid,
doesn't do stuff wrong on purpose, and is sensitive and
really if you yell at him, he just takes things
to heart, right, So that he came home this one
day and he was like I got he almost didn't
want to tell me. He was like embarrassed to tell
me that I'd be mad at him too. But he
started crying and he said that he got sent out
of the room. He had to go to the other classroom,
and he said it was really embarrassing because the other teacher,
you know, was just like like, here comes this kid
that's in here because he's in trouble. So he had
to go. So this was second grade. They sent him
to the classroom for the first graders, right, not like
the other second grade they sent him to the first.
Speaker 1: Are they supposed to do that or was this?
Speaker 2: Well yeah, I mean I guess, I don't know. But
what happened is he so he went and he said
that they all of course stopped what they were doing
and stared at him, and then he had to go
sit in the room and he was mortified. And then
when he told me what he'd done wrong, like I
was like, that's not a big enough That can't have
been a big enough deal, you know, And he just
felt like his teacher was really angry with him. And
so I went into the teacher and I was like, hey,
can I just grab you for a second. And I
was like, I go. So the other day I go.
Maddie told me that, you know, you sent him out
of the room, and he felt really like, I go,
I don't know what he did wrong. I go, but
you should just know that he really took it to heart,
like he really felt chastised and embarrassed. And she was like,
oh my god, she goes. I I mean, yeah, she goes.
But sometimes She goes, I was having a bad day,
and you know, I was like already kind of done
with all of them, with their being everybody was tongue
and I think I might have She goes, it wasn't
just Maddie, but I did send them to different rooms.
She goes, but you know what, I shouldn't have done that.
It wasn't bad enough like what he did.
Speaker 1: He was.
Speaker 2: It was just that so many kids had been acting
up that he was kind of a last straw. So
she goes, I'm going to apologize. I'm going to apologize
to him, and I go, it's just that you sent
them to this other teacher's room. And she was not
nice to him because he was a came in as
like a discipline problem. She was, and she totally sat
him down like the next day and was like, I'm
really I really like you. Oh, because the thing was
that he was like, I don't think she likes me anymore,
like she thinks I'm a problem, you know, and she was.
I thought it was so nice. Yeah, she totally owned
it right away, and it was like, I totally get
that you could have been having a bad day, right,
And then she made it right, right, Yes, that's fine.
But as Deorinda would say, she made things nice. I
made it nice, she says, she goes, I made it
nice for you.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So she told him and he came home and he
was like so happy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 2: But if it was like an ongoing thing, I agree, like,
it's not acceptable.
Speaker 1: No, no, I'm glad I did it. I wish I
would have done it sooner.
Speaker 2: And then these kids label themselves like then oh they
feel like a problem, right exactly. And she's the adult
and Natalia's the kid.
Speaker 1: Right exactly, and she's already strong.
Speaker 2: I don't start having an attitude with a kid then,
I know.
Speaker 1: And she's that again, picture like she's just like right
out of Central Casting. She's just like she's got a
puss on all the time. She's rolling her eyes, you know,
she looks like her life is miserable, and you know,
she's just grumpy. But then Caitlyn shows up and she's
all smiles and huggy, huggy, and then it's like Natalia
ox in and she's like, you know, it's like, bitch.
Speaker 2: Not acceptable. No, don't like that.
Speaker 1: When I walked out of that room, I thought I
would feel better afterwards, I was, I was, I.
Speaker 2: Was like, fucking bitch, aren't you kind of done with
this year?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I am. It's almost over. They're going to middle
school next year and they're still in sixth They're gonna
be in sixth Yeah, but they don't start middle school
till seventh. Oh really, school district. I know, Melissa is
the same the other Melissa's like you, yeah.
Speaker 2: Interesting so, but she won't have a chance of having
that teacher that's just a fifth Yeah. Do you like
the sixth grade teachers at the school?
Speaker 1: I hear they're not that great. No, I know, I know.
She can't n'tell. You cannot catch a break when it
comes to a teacher. But there's the other one.
Speaker 2: The fifth grade.
Speaker 1: They have three teachers, even though they have a homeroom,
but they move around. There's one of them out of
the three, there's two out of the three that are
but one she really likes. And you know, that's about.
That's about. I call them the witches at Eastwick.
Speaker 2: That's funny. All right, you're a parent, now, don't f
it up.
