Speaker: I was babysitting for someone I really didn't know. When they brought in the car seat, cockroaches crawled out of it. It was so gross!!
Listener: Ew, that's really disturbing. The sight of cockroaches always gives me the willies.
Speaker: Me, too! I felt like they were all over me! I can't imagine the house they live in...
Listener: Yes, I shudder to think of the condition of the rest of the home if the car seat is like that.

Speaker: Woof I am having a hard time as of late. I've been waiting on an acceptance into a video production program and it's driving me up the wall.
Listener: Oh, that must be nerve-wracking!
Speaker: It is. A lot of self doubt has crept into my head as of late and I'm trying to fight it off.
Listener: Patience isn't always a virtue that I am good with either. You should feel confident in your work!
Speaker: I am trying. Thanks for the boost!
Listener: Good luck!

Speaker: My daughter picked a new flavor of ice cream and my friend and I ate it before she even got a bite.
Listener: Uh oh. Do you think she will be mad when she finds out?
Speaker: I felt so bad that I made my husband go buy her more before she found out!

Speaker: About two weeks ago on the way to work, i managed to leave my wallet and keys on the bus!
Listener: Oh no, did they disappear for good, or did someone turn them in?
Speaker: Luckily they were handed in by the end of the day, but it nearly gave me a heart attack! Have you ever been in the same situation?

Listener: I was sure to check my statement and make sure there were no suspicious transactions.

Speaker: I've been training my cats to use the toilet. At first they were and everyone was super impressed, but now they've forsaken the toilet AND litter box entirely.
Listener: Wow! So have you tried any methods to get them back on track? Someone might have advice on Youtube.

Listener: Ah! Sounds like you need a "Cat Whisperer"!
Speaker: And a new carpet too haha!

Speaker: Recently, my dog died. It was so heartbreaking. We had him since 2010.
Listener: Oh no that would make him quite young. I'm so sorry! Do you have plans for another one when you're ready?

Speaker: We used some of the money we'd set aside for our son's college fund to fix our hot water heater.
Listener: Oh, that's a terrible problem! That's the only time I don't envy homeowners! I could not afford that at all.
Speaker: Yes, these are the times I miss renting so much! We're trying to repay what we used monthly til it's replenished.
Listener: It's great you have a college fund though! My kids are very young, we haven't started that yet. Although, we probably should. How long have you ahd yours?

Speaker: I work from home now, but the last few years, I worked at a daycare. It doesn't seem like much but my kids went for free and I loved everyone there! I should have quit so many times but I stayed
Listener: I can see why it was hard to quit! Do you like your job now?
Speaker: I like it okay. I still miss it though. Even after Hurricane Harvey and my work building flooded, I drove an extra 40 minutes to get there. But I had a baby recently and it jsut makes sense to be at home now.
Listener: That sounds tough. It seems like you guys at the daycare went through a lot together.
Speaker: we did and i miss the kiddos! My kids miss it too. But its for the best!

Speaker: I will never forget when my daughter was born and they gave her to me for the first time!
Listener: That is an amazing feeling. I have three daughters. It doesn't matter how many you have, the first time you hold them, its amazing.
Speaker: I have 3 little ones too! I had a girl, then boy, then girl! Such a precious moment!
Listener: That's awesome. I would love to have a boy too, but I'm not sure if I want another one or not.
Speaker: I'm debating on another too. My youngest is only 17 months so I am definitely not in a rush.
Listener: My youngest is 3, and almost completely potty trained, but its been a struggle. Maybe when she starts school, I'll make up my mind.
Speaker: It's definitely scary to start all over again!
Listener: Yes, and that's what we did with her. her sisters were a 8 and 9 when she was born.
