- 2:32Speaker 3: I shared my secrets and you know, and I said, Summer,
- 2:38Speaker 3: every single thing that was said in those letters is true.
- 2:42Speaker 1: But they were from me to you.
- 2:44Speaker 3: Every wish, every dream you had that was me through
- 2:48Speaker 3: the magic of your elf, saying that you know how
- 2:52Speaker 3: much I loved you and you were beautiful and wonderful.

- 2:55Speaker 3: them forever. And I'm so sorry it came out like
- 2:57Speaker 3: this anyway, now tell.
- 3:00Speaker 2: Okay, okay, So whoever even thought of this idea should
- 3:03Speaker 2: go to prison. Ye know, the joy is Santa. The
- 3:09Speaker 2: focus is Santa. I am all about Santa. But what
- 3:12Speaker 2: Terry created was Santa every single day. So that's what
- 3:17Speaker 2: you do with listen. I live in Texas, Terry lives
- 3:20Speaker 2: in Louisiana. So first of all, li One, she was
- 3:23Speaker 2: not writing these backwards letters.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Summers, not yours, So.
- 3:26Speaker 2: I have to do what she's doing. So I am
- 3:29Speaker 2: forgetting and waking up at two or three o'clock in
- 3:31Speaker 2: the morning writing a letter backwards because that's what Sparkles likes.
- 3:36Speaker 2: So I'm writing backwards, I'm leaving little trails, and I
- 3:41Speaker 2: am you did it, your daughter, your other daughter did it.
- 3:44Speaker 2: I'm losing my mind. I'm losing my mind because it's
- 3:48Speaker 2: every single night, and I'm telling you, this little girl
- 3:50Speaker 2: knew it. She knew this was fake, and she was
- 3:53Speaker 2: milking it for everything. And I've got two other children
- 3:56Speaker 2: that didn't get to have that kind of thing. So
- 3:58Speaker 2: then year, the next year comes, she brings out that
- 4:01Speaker 2: freaking Sparkles again, and I'm thinking, no way, we are
- 4:05Speaker 2: not doing this again for our second year.
- 4:08Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got Sonny on the line right now. Yeah, honey,
- 4:11Speaker 3: you're alive on the air right now. I would like
- 4:13Speaker 3: for you to tell the good people when Sparkles was
- 4:17Speaker 3: in y'all's lives for Shane, who did all the work?
- 4:20Speaker 3: Was it your mom or was it you that got
- 4:22Speaker 3: everything ready and together for Sparkles for Shane?
- 4:27Speaker 1: That is correct, That is correct. Sonny forgot she tried to.
- 4:37Speaker 2: Say, Oh my gosh, I cannot even believe that that's right.
- 4:44Speaker 1: That's right, because that's how we do it in our family.
- 4:46Speaker 1: That is, yes, you've done this before. Yeah, I know,
- 4:49Speaker 1: so she does it.
- 4:50Speaker 3: She is like millions of moms out there. You have
- 4:53Speaker 3: so much on your plate.
- 4:54Speaker 2: You're in small children, and this was it was too much.
- 4:57Speaker 2: I was overwhelmed with it. It made me mad, and
- 5:01Speaker 2: Terry made it like amped it up, made it such
- 5:03Speaker 2: a huge deal.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Who I am?
- 5:05Speaker 2: I decided I was done. There was not going to
- 5:07Speaker 2: be a year or two of this freaking elf on
- 5:10Speaker 2: the freaking show.
- 5:11Speaker 1: So she ruined it for everybody.
- 5:12Speaker 3: So not only did Shame not get to have sparkles,
- 5:15Speaker 3: but Summer and Slade their el fun forever.

- 5:21Speaker 3: But you know it's so funny, is you know? I
- 5:25Speaker 3: cannot tell you how happy Kevin was.
- 5:27Speaker 1: She ruined that.
- 5:30Speaker 3: Because I mean, I didn't do like a lot of
- 5:32Speaker 3: people do. These elves that do make dirt, you know,
