  SPEAKER_00: There's a spirit week, there's Halloween.
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_00: Um, even for the schools that did dress up like Dolly on 925, um, you got a little bit of fair warning, and and that's pretty easy to pull together.

  SPEAKER_00: Like, the boys don't I don't even think the you know what?

• 1:13
  SPEAKER_01: Let me read some of the text messages.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_01: 8472 says most teachers don't like PJ days because kids come to school in PJs that smell like urine or other not great smells.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_00: I will say this.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_00: It would be the smarter move on the parents' side to put clean PJs on them.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_00: This isn't just I fell out of bed.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, that's a different day.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_00: I felt that's in high school.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: I fell out of bed and made it.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_01: Believe me, because I got my stinky sweats.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_01: My stinky sweats aren't the ones that go to Walmart or Wegmans with me on a Saturday.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_01: I can promise.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_01: I at least get some some clean smelling joggers on.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: I can promise you, because I know that, you know, obviously Tiffany's at the house right now.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: And if today was Wear Your PJ's day, even if Lydia had a shower last night, which she did, but even with that, she'd be like, nope, we're gonna put on fresh ones for you to wear.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: It's it's more of a be comfortable date, not a I'm disheveled day.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_01: But it is easy, right?
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: So this one I gotta move back to the parents and be like, come on.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, don't don't put in the stinky sweats on.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_00: Because I do understand a lot of some teachers try to do it to keep it fun for the kids.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: Just you gotta realize too many is a mental load for the parents.
• 2:24

• 2:24
  SPEAKER_01: Where's the balance here?
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_01: Then 1132, they do a spirit week at my kids' daycare.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_01: That's way too early to start this stuff.
• 2:32

• 2:48
  SPEAKER_01: I had to find an outfit and a hat at 9.45 last night.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_01: I feel bad if these kids can't participate.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_01: That's what it comes down to.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_00: That's what it is.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_00: You're as the parent, you go.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_00: Well, see, here's the thing.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: This whoever comes up with the let's do this, they're going, Well, I'm giving notice.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_00: Well, the problem with it is you giving me notice, I still have a normal life.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: I have a full-time job.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: I have, I'm using I, but I'm saying I in the sense of people.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_00: You have sports.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: You have to go to sports, you have to go to the grocery store, you might have a doctor's appointment, you have this going on, you're trying to make meals, do laundry, your slob of a husband doesn't help in any way, shape, or form.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: It's the twin tiers.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: We know, we've heard it.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: Wait.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: So now all of a sudden it is nine o'clock at night the night before, and you're trying to put it together.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: You know, it's just real life, people.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_01: You know what it also is?
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_01: It's the monetary thing.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_01: And not all families can afford this.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_01: So, what I think that they should do is the thing that you'd mentioned earlier, stick with colors.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_01: Every kid probably has a blue shirt, an orange shirt, a blah, blah, blah, and probably a sports team something.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: And I will say it again if it's PJ Day, fresh ones before they go to school do better.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: Please.
