Summary

Amy and Kat always feel the need to give the full backstory when telling a story. Sometimes their friends can get bored with all the details, so Amy and Kat chat about ways that will help them be more concise (If you have ADHD, this might help you too!)

They also discuss an interesting question that Kat’s husband asked her over dinner: “What is something you thought was normal when you were younger, but then you became an adult and realized not all families do this thing?” Kat and Amy both have some things that come to mind from their childhood, as well as a wild Thanksgiving tradition they heard about….which leads to Amy’s weird post life plan that involves apples.

Amy and Kat revisit last week’s episode about adding whimsy to your day, and Amy shares a new whimsical moment she has added while brushing her teeth this morning.

Lastly, they discuss a list of items we should NOT be buying our 40’s.

HAVE THE DAY (OR DINNER) YOU NEED TO HAVE!

QUOTE:

“I be saying the long story short, and then proceed to tell the double VHS Titanic version of the story.”

0:40.0	And today's quote is a little meme from My Therapist Says. And it's, I be saying long story short and then proceed to tell the double
0:45.6	VHS Titanic version of the story. Which is the three hour version. Which I feel like that's probably
0:51.8	both of us. Is that what we do? I saw this other thing
0:54.9	like about ADHDers and how they often will tell the long story. But if someone else is telling a
1:02.2	story, they're like, can you just get to the point already? Because I have a story that I have to
