She's not feeling well. I feel so bad. We're a very sick family lately. I don't know what's going on.

What is going on in the house? I think she had like a food thing last week. And I don't, who knows? But I think now she has what I had. Oh, no. Like hers was isolated? I thought, I don't know. I don't know what's going on. Man. It's gross. I'm just sick in the head. It's gross. No. I mean, like, Natalie, beautiful, gorgeous, obviously queen. Not, she's not gross, obviously. No. We're just sick. No. It is. And then remember for some reason just, like, decided, like, for the first time ever, just, like, not wanted to fall asleep. You know? She's got that joy de V. She decided to stay up to like 11.30. Yeah.

So she runs that house? Well, no, because like now it's just like, I don't really, like we're definitely in the like, what do we do? Like, how do we punish her? Like, do we punish her? Is she too young to be punished? Does she really even unders? We know that she is choosing not to listen. You know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, yeah.
