  We got a question for American mama's. I have a question for you sisters.
• 0:03
  Did you fight as kids? And do you still fight as gronos?
• 0:05
  My adult children are always fighting and then going long periods without speaking to each
• 0:08
  other. I just don't know what to do about it. Well, let's
• 0:10
  ask our American mama's Mama Mama and joining us now our American mamas Terry Denville
• 0:27
  and Kimberly Burlison. I cannot imagine. I'm sure you guys always got a
• 0:33
  long just fine. When you think about the most epic fight we ever had
• 0:41
  physical fight, the most is the which one? The bus? The bus?
• 0:49
  Wait, you've named your fights? Oh the bus, dad, this
• 0:52
  one? This is what you're talking about. The bus. Our bus driver
• 0:56
  was the principal of the school. High school. We're in high school.
• 0:59
  We had just had just been named to the homecoming court freshman and sophomore year.
• 1:04
  But I think I probably because she was so weird about me barring her
• 1:07
  clothes without asking, So I'm sure I'm sure it was something she's horrible in
• 1:15
  college. Wait wait, I love how you framed that like that, she's
• 1:18
  the one who's weird about you technically stealing her borrowing. It was cute on
• 1:25
  her. I thought it'd be cute on me. Well, she was bout
• 1:27
  about unveiling what she was wearing, like she'd wear a big trench coat.
• 1:33
  And then we get on the bus and then she takes off the coat and
• 1:34
  she's wearing one of my outfits and it just made me and I didn't want
• 1:40
  to go shop anyway. No, it was a when I tell you,
• 1:42
  scratching like and we were the first to be picked up, so we were
• 1:47
  like back and forth. Our principal had to pull over and come back there
• 1:53
  and he said what he said, girls, He goes, My god,
• 1:57
  if people saw you just got elected to the homecoming court and you're killing each
• 2:01
  other back here. But yeah, we had some doozies, but we had
• 2:07
  well we had a big one in college, I remember that. But we
• 2:08
  still overclos overclothes again, but we still she was so harsh and you were
• 2:15
  so ridiculous. She just wouldn't stop. But because she didn't go to class,
• 2:19
  so I could get out and I could get her clothes because I knew
• 2:22
  she wasn't going to class, somebody's got to wear them, Jerry. But
• 2:34
  we still will get into things even as adults. We we do. We
• 2:38
  get into little things, but one thing often not often, but when we
• 2:42
  do, we do not part. I mean, we just kind of hash
• 2:45
  it out until we're okay, but we never ever. I'm trying to think
• 2:50
  of a recent one that we can even you don't even know. Well,
• 2:53
  the good thing about me is my memory so bad. I don't remember if
• 2:58
  people were mad at me or if I was mad. And you have a
• 3:01
  great memory, you definitely remember anybody that's ever fought with you in your life.
• 3:06
  Well, here's what I remember. I remember people who hurt your feelings,
• 3:10
  or hurt my children's feelings or Lindsay's. I don't really, I don't
• 3:14
  really. I promise to God no crosses counted. If they hurt me,
• 3:19
  I do let it go because it doesn't. But when they've hurt somebody that
• 3:22
  I love, I hold on to that. Like she's got a couple of
• 3:24
  friends that maybe did her dirty in the past, and I'm she I'm cordial
• 3:29
  to them, but I don't forget that. She doesn't forget, and I'll
• 3:31
  be friends with them to this day, and she doesn't really like them,
• 3:35
  and I'm like why, But but they don't know that I know. But
• 3:37
  then she's like, because they did this, this, this, and this
• 3:39
  year they did turks. I can't take it. I cannot take it when
• 3:46
  someone hurts my people. But I mean, that is so much so life.
• 3:50
  But I'm trying to think if there's anything recent, usually if if we're
• 3:53
  if we have a fuss or something that's like, I don't know about the
• 4:00
  kids. Let's say that I have an idea of what how she should have
• 4:02
  handled something better or whatever. We might have a little thing like well why
• 4:06
  I you know, I would never do that or whatever, and then it's
• 4:09
  like, okay, you know, but life is too short. Okay,
• 4:12
  but let's let's put this onto your kids. Did your kids fight a lot
• 4:16
  growing up? And how are they now? They are so close. They
• 4:20
  did fight a lot and they are so so close. But I think that
• 4:26
  we set an example because they know. They have a thing about the sisters
• 4:30
  because we have another sister. And every time they tell a secret, it's
• 4:32
  like you don't have to go to the sisters with this, or like we
• 4:38
  don't. I don't tell them anything, No, but they do. I
• 4:42
  mean, of course, like all kids, they fight, but if you
• 4:45
  raise them to to recognize like our parents said, we we are each other's
• 4:50
  forever. Nothing can break that. You cannot let anything break that. But
• 4:55
  your parents told you that from a very young Yes, oh yeah, we
• 4:58
  were tight. We were a six of them, you know, there's four
• 5:00
  of us kids. We were tight. We were very converse. Uh what
• 5:05
  do you call it? Conversationalists were always a conversation, right, we were.
• 5:12
  It was never We could never not love each other. And if we
• 5:16
  treated each other poorly in front of our friends, the friends had to go.
• 5:21
  Oh yeah, friends had to go. The friends were gone. Did
• 5:25
  dad tie us by with a tie like one of his his ties he wore
• 5:29
  with the suit so that we had to be we had to be connected to
• 5:30
  each other, like he tied our arms together, so that we had to
• 5:33
  be connected to each other until we resolved. Our little sister went on every
• 5:39
  date that whenever our dates came over, because that was like, well it
• 5:42
  was her house too, you know, like our family. It was family
• 5:45
  first. And so yes, our kids, her kids not only are they
• 5:47
  tight as siblings, I mean, and usually they'll even bond tighter when it's
• 5:51
  against us the parents, but even the cousins, they are all just a
• 5:57
  force and they maybe they can say something about their cousin and their siblings,
• 6:00
  but if anybody else does, that's it. So even though they fought,
• 6:03
  they're still very tight. If you like askar American Mama was a question,
