We're back people, welcome to a brand new episode of Mums the Word. I'm Georgia Jones and I'm Kelsey Parker. Today Kelsey's in the hot seat. I've got a quiz line. A baby themed quiz. A baby themed one. And we answer your, we listen and we don't judge questions. Answering whether it's okay to pretend you're asleep so your partner handles the kids. I knew we were gonna be answering that, but yes. Yes, it is. So grab a cuppa, get comfy,

and let's jump into a brand new episode of Mums the Word. So, Kels, summer's coming. Here comes the sun. Anyway I think the sun might be here to stay, touch wood. And I'd like to ask you a question about sun cream because I don't know whether this is my child or every single child, but Cooper, God, putting sun cream on that kid is like, I'm torturing him. It's because he knows George.

What? It's bad for you. What is? Sun cream. Oh my God, Kelsey, I didn't even think this would be... I know, I laughed when she actually sent this to me because I thought, she's not thought about this, is she? Hang on, Kelsey, but what was...

My kids do not wear sun cream. Are you joking? Never ever do I put, the only thing I'll maybe, may put on them is an organic sun cream. Sun cream is so bad. We never used to wear sun cream. Are you joking? Never ever do I put, the only thing I may put on them is an organic sun cream. Sun cream is so bad We never used to wear sun cream. So is skin cancer. Sun cream causes skin cancer. No it's... Georgia I've got facts. I've got so many things. Do you actually know the ingredients in the sun cream that you're putting on Cooper? Yes. You don't? I do. There's really harmful chemicals that you're actually putting on your skin. What you need to do is hydrate. Is not go on holiday? No, you can go on holiday.

Keep yourself hydrated, drink loads of water. Ripe seed oils do actually- Oil? No, rape seed oils, what we have in our diet, actually makes you burn. That is the reason why we do burn. You stay out of the sun. The Spanish do a siesta. the Sun the Spanish do a siesta

Why did the Spanish do a siesta from like 12 till 2? It's the hottest time to be out in the Sun So you just keep your children out of the Sun and you do is that what you do? Yeah, my kids we went a whole day I never put some cream on them and they do not burn my little boy It would be you've started putting some cream on so probably since birth Keep him out of the sun. No, right, so this is where our podcast is great because me and Kelsey do like to disagree occasionally on things.

I am pro-keen sunscreen wearer. Me... But what about an organic sun cream? What do you put him in? I put him in... What do you put him in? What, what, sun cream? Yeah, what sun cream? Well, it depends.

Depends. What have you got at home? What's he putting on now? She's like, da-da, da-da. That's not really enough. Just whatever I've got in my cupboard. It's literally so bad. People can listen to this and go, oh my God, guys, do your research on sun cream.

Then come back to me. Can I strongly suggest you put sun cream on your children? No, you can't strongly suggest, because you don't want to see it. Strong. Look at all that, the senior sun creams. Strong suggestion. I'm actually putting, holding something up now to Georgia,

which is high risk red, like literally look at the- That's just Yucca, that's just one sun cream. There's an app, so there's an app. If people don't know what this app is, it's called Yucca. Yeah. Yucca, isn't it? There's loads. We'll go around the supermarket and do it and see if you want to put that on your kids because I would not smother my kids in that. Well, I will. So actually, he's doing you a favour. He knows. Cooper's been here before and he knows how bad sun creams are. Look how many sun creams are on the market now

and how many you can actually buy because we never used to wear sun cream. Yeah and that's why so many people die of skin cancer. I bet you there's more people that die of this, of having chemicals smudged on their body than they do. Just stay out of the sun. If you're prone to burn, just stay out of the sun. Sit in the shade, you don't need to put sun cream on, you don't need to poison your whole body. I'm getting so aggressive about it. Wow.

Yeah because you were saying about cancer. Who did that? We need vitamin D. I know but you can get that through your eyeballs and your palms of your hands. Yeah but we also need our body to absorb vitamin D, so you just go and get your vitamin D at like five o'clock or wake up in the morning. Right, so basically, who's team Georgia? Who's team Georgia is sun cream all the way. Team Kelsey is no sun cream whatsoever.

Which team are you on? We're gonna put a poll up. No, I said that if I do put them in sun cream, I have got an organic, made out of like beeswax, really no bad stuff in it, sun cream. That when you put in it doesn't absorb into your skin, you look white when you put it on. Oh, do you? Because it's not got crap on it. It's no crap filled with all that stuff. Like, look, I'm

not saying I didn't used to do all that. I've done my research. Research is key. A research. To research. Because Aurelia came home and was like, oh, I'm going to forest school, mom. I've been told I need sun cream, mom. And I went, go and tell your teacher you don't wear sun cream. Did you?

Surely this teacher had to come back and say no, like legally. What's the legal? It's my kids. I put them in what I want. And if they touched my kids with sun cream, I would go mental. What if your kids came kids with sun cream, I would go mental. What if your kids came back with sun stroke though?

They wouldn't. They don't burn. I've adjusted them to the sun. Literally when we went away, Georgia, my kids are so brown, they literally look amazing and I don't put sun cream on them. If Cooper even looks at the sun,

that poor little child burns. If I didn't put sun cream on that boy, he would probably. Also, when they start on your holiday and they are getting like hot, well also, mine wake up, we go and do breakfast, they go into the kids' club, so they're in the shade, come out, they might play for an hour in the sun

after lunch, go back to kids' club or whatever they choose to do in the afternoon. Like I keep them out of the sun, but they have got the best chance. Like I really was so dark. Oh God! I just wasn't expecting this was the way this was going to go. She was. She thought I was gonna go, I really struggled to put sun cream on my kids.

Yeah, I thought you were just gonna give me advice on how to do it. My kids are probably looking around and going, why are the other kids wearing sun cream? Do you know what I was gonna think? I was like, she's probably gonna tell me like, put it on with a makeup brush or something Which I've been tempted to do before yeah, and do do that. Yeah, put your kids a bit more I completely disagree with Kelsey on this okay I'll send you loads of stuff George. No don't. Why you have to. This is the same as when you told me that airplanes give off chemical trails that make us all poly. They are, you've got the government website, they're telling you that they're actually doing it. They literally tell you that they're

sprying the sky. How can you see one plane that's going through, got nothing coming out the back of it. Fight, fight, fight. fight. Oh my God, George, we could literally get down a rabbit hole right now. Really could, but anyway, let's talk about Cooper having an ass shoot. So, Cooper. Yes. At the moment, has just got a bit of sass about him.

So every time I ask him to do something, I'd be like, right, Cooper, come on, get undressed now and get into the bath. Like, and it might be the seventh time I ask him to do something I'd be like right Cooper come on get undressed now and get into the bath like and it might be the seventh time I've asked him and he goes pah and I'm like please. He's just mocking you. Yeah and I'm literally like oh my god my child's telling me to say please. I remember it like there didn't need to be a please then he's like well you were asking me to do something So you should have said please I was like he's got pine actually so okay, please Then he'll do it, but honestly he's just got this sass

But what I will say is he started watching YouTube a little bit more kids YouTube, and it's all you know like Monitored and you know you can't go on to anything like we I wanted to do it though That's what I just think as well. Well I actually only let him watch YouTube when I'm in the room. Yes, so overseas. Yeah so like anything like Netflix you know he can watch that, kids Netflix, he can watch that without me there. I still be in the house obviously but you're not leaving my seven year old child at home alone. Not only does she go to bed with her kids, she leaves him on his own.

The worst I've ever heard over there. Oh gosh, terrible mother. But yeah, no, YouTube, I always say to him, I have to be in the room if you're watching that, just in case. But I have seen like a bit of a link to like either certain things you might watch or just playing on his Switch for a certain period of time to his behavior.

Don't tell me your kids don't, they don't, do they? They don't have bloody screens. This is a disaster, it's a disaster. No, I have banned screens because I saw the exact same thing. Oh yeah, you did, yeah. And I think you watched them over a period of time and you're like, hang on, there is a correlation here that when you're on that you turned it turned yeah

yeah it's a bit like that um the Snickers advert they turn into a right diva like they they just literally switch I don't know what happens to them yeah so yeah we don't yeah the switch switches switches them up yeah we've stopped I've, I've stopped. Have, yeah. See, I just need to limit it a bit more. I wouldn't ever stop because I need it. There has to be screen time. But I definitely feel like it needs to be. And I've actually said to him,

like now is it at the age where I can say, Cooper, you're not as nice, you know, when you've been on that switch for too long. Does he understand that? Yeah, yeah, he's like, what do you mean? I'm like, you've got a little attitude and you're in a bad mood and I don't like it and we're not having it.

So you're not gonna go on your switch anymore today or whatever else there. And to be fair, he doesn't argue it too much. Like he kind of, he's probably a bit like, yeah. I'm in a bit of a dick actually. Because I think you're right though with like the Netflix, it's for some reason, obviously mine do watch TV

I'm not saying they don't watch TV and they don't do anything Yeah, but watching TV is so different to watching screens. Yeah, it is and I wonder what it is like I wish it we need to get on like a Specialist in like kids and so Emma Willis and Matt did it didn't they? Oh, did we do a documentary? Oh my god. It's the most amazing show I've not watched it George you watch it and then and then Cooper you're banned. No, it really opens your eyes to it. Like some of these kids they've They're coming home from school. Obviously they're older than Cooper. They're in like year seven at school Yeah, and they're like on the screens for like five hours six hours at night

they're in like year seven at school. And they're like on the screens for like five hours, six hours at night. They took the phones off them and actually their short term memory improved. Their social skills improved, everything improved by taking and the kids felt better. Do you know what actually,

I had a bit of a deep, well I've started doing, I've said this already, I've started putting my phone like to the side on an evening. And I actually have noticed a bit of a difference with my memory and almost I feel a little bit a bit smarter. Well, we just, you just flick, don't you? Flick and you scroll.

Yeah. And that's what they're doing on the YouTube shows. Yeah, they just, it's like that dopamine, isn't it? They say that it's actually letting them not have the memories. They can't retain any information because everything's so quick Really just beating a really really quick information all the time. You would not watch that and not cry your eyes out Oh God, it's emotional. It's really emotional cry. I cried

Like obviously our kids aren't at that age yet Yeah, but some of them do it same. She meets parents her and Matt meets parents Sorry guys spoiler if you've not listened to this they go and meet parents that children have done challenges. Oh So they've done yeah Ones that have like tried to they strangled themselves and pass out but not have woken up again. Oh my god So it's really it's really eye opening. And also Emma and Matt go on it and they pretend to be 14 year old kids.

So Matt's a 14 year old boy on TikTok and Emma a 14 year old girl and they can't believe what they are throwing at them. Really? They say that kids are watching porn from the age of 11 now. They're getting thrown porn at them. Really? Watch like? They say that kids are watching porn from the age of 11 now. They're getting thrown porn at them. Really?

Watch the program. How are they getting that thrown at them? Because it's coming through and whatever's getting thrown out and algorithms, whatever. Oh lordy, I mean it's just frightening isn't it? And also obviously the porn that, I mean I don't know if we can keep any of this in,

but the porn they're watching is like extreme porn. Oh, how? So then their version of sex is not the version of sex. Dude, yeah. I think that, I think, I think, yeah, right, well, well. So guys, this is really c-con-dink. It's really to be a fan. Oh, this has got, it's taking a turn.

It's taking a turn. It's taking a turn. Right, shall I make it a bit light-hearted? Yeah, let's do light-hearted. Okay, so I'm gonna do a little quiz with you, Kels. Yep. Are you ready? Yes. Right, how many more bones are babies born with than adults? Who knew babies were born with more bones than adults? I don't understand. More bones. So, but they've got more bones because they've just got loads of little bones. Yeah. Little tiny bones. Yeah. And then what, then, yeah, because I guess then everything, like,

even like the skull. Yeah, all fuses together, doesn't it? Yeah. Guess. Little tiny bones. Yeah. Yeah, because I guess then everything, even like the skull. Yeah. All fuses together, doesn't it? Yeah. Guess how many more bones than an adult? A hundred. Right. This is a problem when people play guessing games and they guess more than one.

The actual answer is always go lower. Ninety-four. No, that weren't bad, was it? No, that was a really good guess. Babies have ninety-four more bones than adults. That's b bad, that weren't bad, was it? No, that was a really good guess. Babies have 94 more bones than adults. That's baffling, isn't it? That is actually mind-blowing. By the way, I found these online this morning when I was scrolling.

Midwife Pip, I think it was, that posted this. I love Midwife Pip. I've done her pod and she's been on this pod. Oh, marvellous. We're pod swappers. Pod swappers. I love, yeah, I love Pip. That's what I said to her,

I wish she could just be at my birth. Oh, wouldn't that be nice? Cause she's like so chilled and she'd be like, ah. Oh yeah, cause she was at, The baby show. The baby show, wasn't she? So Pip, thank you and I have stolen your facts. So thanks for that.

When does your body start producing colostrum, which is obviously the milk, the gold milk, the golden milk. The golden milk. Should I try and squeeze some right now? Go on then. No, I don't mean, I've not got any yet. Have you not?

I reckon. I bet if you squeeze. A month. I bet if you gave that nipple a little squeeze you'd be able to get them out. I have tried I don't know. I've got any yet. You can harvest can't you? People start harvesting for like, yeah What's reckonin a month? Is it a month? No, it's 15 weeks. That's why I could get some out now. You could yeah Should we try it after? Go on just try and live on air Are you sure? Yeah. You're squeezing hard. I don't even like how I've cut any jobs. Are you sure?

Yeah. You're squeezing hard? I'm squeezing really hard. Nothing's coming out. Alright, so everybody...just so everyone knows, 33 weeks in, Kelsey cannot get any out yet. This is a lie. Is it really 15 weeks? Apparently so. Maybe you're just not squeezing it right. It's a fine art. My boobs are very sore. I'm sorry, my nipples are so jacked. It's a fine art. He's like, very sore, sorry my nipples are so jacked. It's a fine art.

He's like, why have I taken over from Tom? Kelsey's milking herself. Kelsey hasn't got her nipple milking down. When does your baby first develop taste? Oh, hang on. This is from them being in your womb. In your womb. I'd say.

Because they drink the amnomotic, how do you say that? Amnomotic fluid. Amnomotic fluid, which is flavored by what you eat. Yeah, because that's obviously when they want to do the thingy. I would say after about 20 weeks. No, eight weeks. Eight weeks!

They develop taste from eight weeks, from you being eight weeks pregnant. They're not even a peanut at that point are they? They just look like some weird little alien at that point. Have they even got a mouth? Or a tongue? Obviously they are, yeah, I think that's... do they? I don't know. I feel like Pipps put the remasters on here. Isn't that mad? I wonder if that's why they say, you know when sometimes when a baby's born and they start weaning and they're like into what your craving was when you were pregnant. Yeah they're like oh I like that. Yeah I wonder if that's why. Like you think that's for avocados. God I must have just eaten a load of chicken nuggets and waffles. Right, I'm just fancying. I feel like I just fancyed like loads.

What's been your craving? I'm definitely erring on more of the sweet and I'm so much more of a savory person. Because people are normally quite salty aren't they? I was really salty with Bodie. Were you? Not a bit as salty this time around. She's so salty. Were you sweet with Aurelia though? Yeah. Oh maybe you're having a girl then. Have you still not found out by the way? No. I think it's a girl. Have you still not found out by the way? No. I think it's a girl. True or false, your heart doubles in size in pregnancy? Yes.

Yes. True, yeah, organs need more blood which increases blood flow to the heart. Oh my God, that's why you've been so nice to me. I think that as well, it's just so crazy, like I was watching something the other day, how obviously all your organs like shift up. Oh, yeah That's at the moment. I feel like when I'm in bed. I'm like, I can't breathe. I can't breathe

Yeah, well see I'm like I've got no room to actually breathe you don't like Like when you actually think of the human body and how magical we are that you can your organs come up body and how magical we are that you can, your organs come up. We're producing all this fluid the baby can eat, everything's changing. But then also then after you have the baby, so much shit happens to you and you go pale like this. Yeah, yeah. Like your hair starts falling out and... Oh, I mean everything. You're leaking. You're leaking, yeah.

Constantly. You're pissing yourself One of my I won't name names, but one of my mom friends Who's got quite a fairly new baby has got her first hangover today And I said to her I was like, oh I feel your pain she's done a huge Greg's order and She's she's she'sggs order. And she's- Was she going out on a Monday night though? She went to a mummy, a mummy meetup

with the babies and the mummies. When they all got drunk? They drank and they, she's hungover. I suppose it doesn't take much though does it? Especially like, I feel like I'm gonna be like that my first occasion to drink. Yeah, after you've had a baby and you've barely drunk. Yeah I spoke to Charlotte Dawson, she's just had a baby and Charlotte messaged me like oh I went out

and I'm still recovering she was like and part of me just wants to be pregnant again so then I can't drink. Oh yeah. Like because you sort of think to yourself like I've actually detoxed myself. Oh my god absolutely. Because I know people you can drink, whatever, each their own, but for me, I'm not even bothering having the one. No, no. I can't actually be bothered to even have one drink. Yeah, I remember when I was pregnant,

I remember Danny went to me, your eyeballs have never looked whiter. I was like, it's because my liver's not struggling, that's why I was like, really? He's like, yeah, I looked, I just looked bright when I was like, it's because my liver's not struggling, that's why I was like, really? He's like, yeah, I looked, I just looked bright when I was pregnant. You have the pregnancy glow, don't you? My pregnancy glow. Do you have an insatiable fascination with the paranormal?

Will you dare to join me? Listen to Paranormal Activity with me, Yvette Fielding, wherever you get your podcasts from. It's time. We listen every time, Cheryl. Is that how I did it last time? I don't think it is. I think you change it every time it helps. But I'm enjoying it, I'm here for it.

I'm here for your jingle. Shall I go first? You go first. In a busy cafe toilet, my daughter loudly asked, Mummy, why does your bum have a beard? I could hear the entire cafe giggling outside the cubicle. Oh my God, it could be heard in the cafe. Yeah. No. I could hear the entire cafe giggling outside the cubicles. Oh my god, it could be heard in the cafe. No, that's...

I love it, cafe. I know, I love that as soon as you read that, even though it's actually written down cafe, Carol's didn't say the word cafe. In the cafe. That's mortifying. That's mortifying. But also why has this kid never seen it's mom's pubes before? It probably has, it's just gone in there

and said at that time, mom, why have you got that? Or maybe she just had a fancy wax. Mom just say random things at random times and you think, why have you just come out with that now? Oh, I know, it's the changing of the tampon. I actually do not do that in front of Cooper because I think I did it once because I didn't have a choice.

And I think he was absolutely, I think I scarred the kid for life. What is that coming out of mom's nanny? I fake being asleep on a weekend, on weekend mornings, just long enough for my partner to crack and get up with the kids first. I mean, that's really good.

I wouldn't be able to do that because I'd crack. I'd be the one that would crack. You'd be like, for God's sake, I'll get up then. Yeah, yeah, I would. Yeah. Well, even this weekend on Sunday, I obviously felt like I was so tired. But Will had come out with me

and he'd obviously got really drunk. Oh yeah. So I could hear the kids were up, blah, blah, blah, blah and I was just like, I might as well just go downstairs. Yeah. He started snoring next to me and I was like, oh, I know, I just got up and I was like, I'll just go downstairs then. Do you ever feel like you have to because they're your kids?

Or do you just like, oh, Will, get on with it. Sometimes I go, go around to Will when I was Will. Yeah, yeah. Good, I sometimes say to Cooper the night before, you're waking up daddy tomorrow morning, okay, not mummy. Yeah, go round the other side and wake your dad up. I know, why do the men always sleep on the side of the bed that's not close to the door?

Closer to the door, it's so true. That is definitely a tactic. Our Alexa has been glitching, so my husband shouted at it in frustration. A few days later, my toddler was visiting grandma. And when she wouldn't give him a biscuit, he screamed, Alexa, you're useless. I'm dying to know whether the grandma is called Alexa.

But they just repeat, don't they? Do you have an Alexa? No. No, I don't, because I just think it would be, I think Cooper would use and abuse it, to the point where I'd probably throw it out the window. When we've gone to other people's house

and they've had Alexa's, I'm like, oh my God, I'm never getting one. Because you'd be like, Alexa, volume 10. Like, she knows what to say to it, so. Yeah, yeah. I told my daughter that Peppa Pig went on holiday for a while because I couldn't handle one more episode. That's brilliant.

I quite like Peppa Pig. I think it's a really, I think it's one of those ones you can watch as an adult. Yeah. Because Mummy Pig is quite passive aggressive, which makes me laugh. And Daddy Pig actually thinks he can do everything he can to get it wrong. So it's like the real world. It's the same as Louis. Also can I just say that Mummy Pig's having a little girl. She is, isn't she? Oh my God, imagine if you and Mummy Pig

are living parallel lives. I feel like we are. Imagine if you have the baby on the same day. I wonder when her baby's sharing. I just don't know. I love how we're talking about a cartoon, like it's like a real person. A pig cartoon.

When's Mummy Pig having her baby? Mine is so long. While peeing in a busy shop, my daughter pointed to a random man and shouted, Mummy, is that your boyfriend? He looks like the one in your phone. Save to say my husband wasn't too impressed. For the record, it was a picture of Chris Hughes from Celebrity Big Brother. It was a meme that she saved.

I wonder if the man in the shop was Chris Hughes. That would be so funny. Yeah, is that your boyfriend? And if it was, we could see why the dad would have been fuming. Is that your boyfriend? I wish! If only.

We play a game called, who can be quiet the longest so I can have five minutes of peace in the car. I think that's a standard parenting game isn't it? First person to speak stinks. First person to talk is out. Stinks? Oh you're a liberties in your car. We play a colour game and I'm like why did we ever invent the colour game? For the colour of cars? No you just think of a colour and then the person has to guess the colour that you're thinking of i know once me and kelsey well i think for like kelsey came up with it and

we went to colmore and played it for four hours straight on the drive to colmore with the kids so obviously when they're little there's only so many games you can actually play yeah well there is isn't that like i spy but they can't play that from a certain age they can't play it very well can they because they don't know like like the letter yeah yeah yeah you have to say it like looking at the mom's the word behind just a quick one about games me and koopa played game the other day on the way to school and it filled up that entire time on the way to school how long should we walk to school it was 15 minutes and basically actually quite good games if anybody wants a game to play with their kids their kids're around seven, or six,

if they're really intelligent. But basically it's thinking of words that have double meanings. So like bark, a dog barks, and then the bark of a tree. Well, educational as well, Georgia. Educational as well, thank you, yes. I'm so proud of you. I really won at parenting yesterday morning

on the Watt School, thank you. And he really enjoyed it, so that's a really good game, took a little bit of time. During lockdown, my daughter had an online class. I forgot her camera was on and I walked past in my dressing gown which wasn't properly tied up. Oh my God, cause that's not actually embarrassing just for you, that's your child as well.

That's your child and there would have been all other kids on there as well probably, wouldn't there? I've just seen, you know you see so many like zoom mistakes of people Yeah, they're like funerals and have you ever seen the one where the lady's like shaving her Bits in the shower watching a funeral and not realizing that the camera's on no Yeah Like shaving the whole thing What an earth would go through somebody's mind to think, do you know what I'll do during

a funeral? During this family friend or family member's funeral, I'm gonna shave my fanny. This is a good time to do it. What would ever go through your head to be like, yeah, great timing. I'm gonna moan. I'm gonna moan. Whilst I shave. I need to be smooth tomorrow.

I once ate my kids Easter chocolate then blamed it on the Easter bunny's brother who forgets things sometimes. That's brilliant. That is good. I got the dates mixed up and sent my son to school dressed as Spider-Man on a completely normal school day. No fancy dress. He was the only superhero there. on a completely normal school day, no fancy dress, he was the only superhero there. I don't know what's worse. Is it worse when they're all dressing up and you- Send them in the uniform.

In the uniform. I think that one. Even today we had forest school and that was put in last night. I was like, thank God someone put that in last night in the group chat. Oh, do they wear different- They wear their PE kits for the forest school.

I did send Cooper his PE kit last week on a normal uniform day. Did you? Yeah. He didn't tell me. One of the other mums went, why is Cooper in his PE kit? I was like, was it not PE today?

I mean, it's on the same two days every week. So why? It didn't change. No, I think the bank holiday threw me off. Yeah, it threw me off. It froze you. Threw me off. Them bank holidays.

Yeah, but not Cooper, nor Danny, nor me, remember? Picked up on it. You'd think someone would have done, wouldn't you? That's why you needed an Aurelia as your child. Oh, is she on it? Oh, she's so on it. Is she? This morning, oh no, it was last night, she came in and she was like, I need a can. I need some tins. I'm like, okay. It's not a harvest festival, is it? It's not a harvest festival, is it? I don't know why she needed tins. She was like, I need tins. I'm like, okay. It's not the Harvest Festival, is it? It's not the Harvest Festival, is it? I don't know why she needed tins.

She was like, I need tins. What is the Harvest Festival? Harvest time. What is the Harvest Festival, actually? Because I don't know what we used to do as kids, but I don't actually know what the Harvest Festival is. What are we celebrating? It's meeting other people, I think. I don't know. we're looking out to Jack so he hasn't answered for us. Yeah, she's like, I need tins.

And I'm like, I actually don't have any. I had like kidney beans that I tried to obviously open them but the top's falling off so I was like, just actually, I need more. I'm like, sorry. Oh, were the empty ones not full ones? No, no, no, she wanted like full ones. How on earth do you not have like a cupboard full of

just tinned things? I don't. Because I think I'm like doing this new thing, Georgia, where I'm just buying what I need. Oh. Not just having loads and loads of crap. Right, okay. In the cupboard. Don't come to my house, thank you.

No, I do have other crap in there, but I'm just trying to minimize. Like, so say if I know I'm making food that week, I'll have them tins in for that week. Right. Oh, she's so organized. Oh, yeah, I've seen you've been cooking a lot. Yeah, cooking loads. She's a new woman. Ah, Kelz. Do you know what, Kelz, I yeah I've seen you've been cooking a lot yeah cooking like she's a new woman okay oh do you know what Kelsey I reckon I've probably

already spent about 25 quid and it's only only one o'clock in the afternoon purely from getting a coffee which now you have to remortgage for for some reason and like lunch then you buy the time you've got coffee and lunch well we were just saying that weren't we if you worked in London every single day day. Oh you'd be skim. You would be skim. All the time. You'd have to bring a pat lunch to her. Yeah you would. Should we bring pat lunches next time?

Yeah. Oh that'd be cute. My last one is, I sent my daughter to school with a moldy jelly in her lunch accidentally. Well that's okay, we all make mistakes sometimes. I think I've definitely made Cobra sandwich before and then gone to the loaf of bread to do something else and then I'm like, oh, that's green.

Oh no. Is there any bits I can let you just take off? Yeah, do you cut bits of green off cheese and just use it? Yeah. All right, fine, yeah. Also with the moldy jelly, I wanna know what her daughter's like because if that was, it might not even been that moldy.

Has she got a dramatic daughter? Oh, like Aurelia? Yeah, Aurelia. Aurelia's just my one, isn't she? She's like, I can drink out of my water bottle because it smelled like onions. I'm like, oh my God. To be fair to Aurelia, I don't like drinking

out of a water bottle when it's got like a fridge smell. No, but like, it's not even, you don't like one of these. Oh, you've obviously kept it somewhere it shouldn't have been. She's just like me, she just doesn't like smells of things and whatever. You're princesses. Yeah, we are. What are your children like with bananas

when they've got bruises on them? Riley doesn't eat bananas, buddy. I feel like he would be a bit fussy with a bruise. I feel like all kids are fussy with bruised bananas. But how do you? I like them like, how? No, how do you eat a bruise. Would you?

Yeah. Would you like a soft banana or a hard banana? Well... I'd even prefer a hard banana. I'd think like a semi. Yeah, a semi. A semi soft. No one likes a semi.

Semis are never good. I like it. I don't like it too. I don't like it. Rock hard. You don't like it too. I don't like it. Rock hard. You don't like a rock hard banana. Why are we not saying ripe or underripe? I didn't say it. It's ripe when they're really soft. Yeah.

Yeah, I don't like it when they're too ripe, but they've got to be ripe. I wouldn't eat a green banana. Let's put it that way. Oh no. They're really hard. To be honest, I think anyone that eat a green banana. Let's put it that way. Oh no. To be honest, I think anyone that eats a green banana is a psychopath. Yeah, I think you're a bit like. If banana's crunchy, it's not for me. It's a bit, I think that's a bit weird.

Yeah. And also when they're that green, you can't even open them. No. You're like, how do I? We've gone down a deep banana hole here. Yeah. About bruised bananas. No, I wouldn't like a bruised banana

and I'm a visual, like, if I look at my food and it doesn't look good, I'm not eating it. Interesting. Like, that's anywhere. Really? Yeah. Even if it was like a really fancy restaurant. Yeah, if it came up and it was like, it didn't look great and it looked a bit soggy,

I'd be like, I'm not eating that food. Not for you. I'm really yeah. It's something to eat for the world. Oh that's a wrap Kels. Let's end on that banana and soggy food.
