My kids know not to come home with Twitters in the bag. I'm like, not to this house you don't.

What fresh hell. Laughing in the face. I'm like, not to this house. You don't. What fresh hell.

Laughing in the face of motherhood. Come here, you precious little prince. Why don't we have some cookies

until you don't feel like biting anymore? With Margaret Abels and Amy Wilson. No, no, no, no.

That's monstrous. I'm not a monster, Amy. We got a Sima.

A podcast that solves today's parenting dilemmas, so you don't have to. I'm here for the apple cider donuts. Those are so good.

Hey, everybody. Welcome to What Fresh Hell, laughing in the face of motherhood. This is Amy.

And this is Margaret. And today we're talking about, isn't this everyone's family? Things that you did in your family that seemed normal.

But weren't. I believe I've told this story before, but very quickly. My father's father, they lived where they could see the Tappinsey Bridge, which is

across the Hudson River. And his dad knew what time the lights of the bridge came on. So he would go

over to the light switch in the house and be like, I got to turn my bridge on. And he would

flip the lights. And so my dad, until like college, basically basically thought that his dad owned the Tabinsey Bridge.

And it's just funny how that happens. My son, when he was maybe seven, at some point, we go to a beach near my dad's house that we call Grandpa's Beach. And I don't know, he was like seven or eight and talking to some other kids. And he's like, yeah, this is my dad's house that we called Grandpa's Beach. And I don't know, he was like seven or eight and

talking to some other kids. And he's like, yeah, this is my grandpa's beach. And they're like, this isn't your Grandpa's Beach, you idiot. And then he was so mad at me. He's like, why did you tell me that was Grandpa's Beach? I'm like, we say Grandpa's Beach because it's the beach near grandpas. But he is still mad at me that I like humiliated him in front of other kids because

he's like,

this is my grandpa's place. And they were like, you're a moron. So here's our house's version of that. My mother grew up saying to us. And so I therefore grew up saying to my kids that you, when you are blowing on something because it's too hot, you're waiting for your soup to cool down, you're foofing it.

You have to foof that, F-O-O-F, I guess I would spell it, foof that, you know, before you put it in your mouth.
