Hi, and welcome back to the Carol Markowitz Show on IHeartRadio.

It's actually my 150th episode today, and I just want to say thank you to all of my listeners.

I really wasn't sure if this kind of show would work.

People love their news of the day, and the Carol Markowitz show is very much not about that.

I record a lot of these episodes several weeks out.

I tried to get to the bottom of people's personalities and their stories and not what they think

about, you know, what did Trump say today.

So it was a gamble and I love that it's working out, and so many of you are listening.

We've been clearing a million downloads every quarter with only two episodes a week,

and I just feel so fortunate for you all.

Thanks so much for tuning in.

So last weekend, I was laying by a resort pool, lazy river, when a mom and her approximately

four-year-old swam by me. And the child was like kind of playing, and he said to his mom,

you're stupid. The mom responded, hey, buddy, if you want to talk to me like that, we're going to get out of the water.

I, of course, tweeted about it, and it's a sort of thing that went, you know, semi-viral,

4,000 plus likes, lots of responses and retweets.

Most agreed with me, but some were in the vein of, what's your problem?

This was handled perfectly.

The mom gave the kid a warning, what more do you want?

And to me, I don't see the parenting in this exchange.

And I say the words, my kids aren't perfect a lot because they're not.

Obviously, no one is perfect.
