Thank you, Mom

that than being our own moms. True. Remember yesterday we were in Maddie's living room and she was sitting with both of our dogs, and she goes, I live for these dogs. I literally live for these dogs. But they were like sitting looking into her eyes like literally with like love, like hard eyes, so cute all my best

friends and my best friends. I'm like that said, but also really see no, but she is a dog whisper like any dog loves her and I love then like a hike and a dog will come up to her and the owner will be like, my dog literally hates people who doesn't go up to anyone. She's like yeah, it's just like a thing I have. She definitely takes pride in it. I know, it's like her special talent. I know. I feel like though we are so lucky

to have like a mom. Though it's really like all family dynamics are different, and I really feel for mom too, and to anyone that's lost their mom um on this day, I know, it's definitely hard, and I think, like we never met our grandma, but we have such a like special connection to her. But I don't know, you know, like that's always something that I think about. So anyone who's lost her mom, I definitely my heart goes out to you, me to and we're yeah, we're very thankful.

And our mom is such a special person. She's crazy, but she's crazy, like obviously every mom gets on your nerves sometimes, Sorry, mom, put get on your nerves too. Yeah. Sure, I know she's listening to them, so she's obsessed. But um, you know, we still love her. You know, you know it's crazy like growing up, Okay, I'm just like jumping right into it. You know, how like were like okay, we weren't bad kids, like she would yell at us sometimes, you know, but we never did anything like crazy bad.

But we've never been grounded before, or have you been grounded or we've been like I've been grounded for one day and then what happened? Like what was the consequence? Um, I don't know actually, like maybe it was like I'm being rude to you, or because Maddie and I used to like slap each other. Oh my god, I mean every sibling does. We would like wrestle, like we would wrestle and like you know how sisters are, We're just crazy. Anyways, I would always be the one that got in trouble

for some reason. Um, probably because you were like the one like hitting no, because you would tattle tale. That's why it would always Maddie would tattle tale, which I did a lot, but then it like then Maddie did it more and so I would get grounded, not really grounded, I'm doing a um. And then the next day she'd be like, hey, do you want to like go like do you want to get your nails on it? Do you want like maybe you should ask so and so to come over, And I'm like, wait, wasn't it grounded?

We've never gotten our phones taken away? No, Um, I'm never like that's the thing. She would be like, you're not going to your friend's house anymore, and then ten minutes later she's like, okay, I picked her bag, like like, get in the car, let's go. She still like that, though, Like she'll be mad at me for something so stupid she doesn't like, and then like two seconds later she'll be like, oh my god, did you see what Boots did today? Did you see what is going on? I know?

And sweet though, because she just always wants to be in like a good fine yeah, and like my mom and I it's really funny, Like I think this is so funny. We never argue in person. Really, I told you this. Like when we get into arguments is like brings up something like when I'm not home and then we like and then argue on text message but not call me, and you're like, I don't know, I don't

want to go home because it's so awkward. And then like I go home and she's like, hey, stweetie, Like it's like, weren't we just like screaming ntil over text? Like we not really though, It's kind of like she sends a paragraph and then I send a current paragraph and she's like, I love you, and I'm like, wait,

what she's like, You're such a good kid. I know she always says that, and I think it's it's kind of unhealthy, but it's kind of nice because then I don't have to I would feel bad getting mad at her. True do you think? Do you think? Like? What are like the similarities we have with her? And then the difference is well, first of all, you guys are both Gemini's. Yes, and I was the libre to balance both of you on each side, right, Yeah, Mom and I feel like

are very different but similar in some ways. I feel like you guys are a lot alike. I feel like the way you guys are like is when if I'm fighting being with either you or Mom, I'm scared by both of you, like in the same way. Really like you're both overly so nice, but when I'm fighting with either of you, I'm scared for my life. Geminis set said yesterday. She said, if Geminis are the nicest people ever, but if you get on their bad side, like run, yeah,

run exactly. It's true. No, but like it's just you guys are strong minded. Thank you, thank you. I love being scary. I love it. It's actually nice. But that's great. But I feel like we and mom, or me and mom similar, I don't know. I feel like you guys are both very wise, really yeah, and I feel like you're similar humor, Like I Mom sometimes brings out some like she's she's really good at sarcasm. I've actually noticed

this recently. I think she picked it up from me. Yeah, Like my mom texted me like the other day and she was like where are you? And I was like in my room and then I was like, oh wait, actually, I'm like I'm across the country right now, like sorry, I can't talk to you right now. And she was like, wow, that was fast, that was crazy. I haven't on my text visit. And I was laughing so hard because I'm like, wow, this is where we get our humor from. Like, she's

actually really funny. She picked it up from us. She's got funnier in the last year. You're right, You're actually right, it's hilarious. I think they have similar I think you guys have similar humor though, like which is like mom jokes, Mom jokes like corny and like not actually like no, but they're so funny. They're actually so funny. Think she's unintentionally funny, like we find her funny, you know. Sorry, I'm just laughing it. It's like a good memory that

you have with mom, like from one. It could be recent, it could be when you were babies. I always have found with her. Um oh that's nice, Cane. She'll be so happy to hear that. Mom. I still listening, right, she's still listening. I don't know. I she's just really funny. I'm trying to think of some recently, so this is kind of t m I, but like we all struggle with acne. I have really really bad back acne, like so so so bad, and I've been dealing with it

for like two years now. And my mom there's like this like high frequency. It's like a zapper like for your like to kill bacteria and whatever. Sorry, this is like kind of girls, but like Mom, we'll come over to just do it because I can't do it myself.

And since Eddie's gone, like she'll come over. She'll do the zapper on my back and then she'll like put alow on my back and she's like, it's just so nice that because I would be embarrassed to ask like certain people to do that for me just because it's kind of like personal just being like, oh, I'm insecure about my back, like right, but she she's been helping me with that a lot, and just like she's like, wow, it's just looking so much better. Like she like hypes

me up. It's really sweet. She's like a big part of my What am I trying to say? Like if I don't feel good, she hypes you up. Or if I am like, oh I feel like I look like my outfit is not cute today or something. I walked downstairs and she's like, wow, you look so cute. And it always makes me so happy because Halloween when you so. On Halloween, I went to this party. It was like Mulan Rouge themed, and so I was wearing something that was like sexier, kind of sexier, but like you know,

I was covered, so it's fine. But I walked downstairs and I was like, mom, like is this too scandalous? Like I feel like I look so scandalous, and she goes, no, that's the theme. You look great. And then she took a picture and sent it to me. She's like, look how cute Kenzie looks. I was like, mom, most moms would be like she's like she's the girlfriend. She's literally the mom. I mean girls like you're doing great, sweetie, but she is. But she's also not you know what

I mean. Like she's very like she doesn't care what we wear, but she doesn't want us to go to a party if there's like she'll be like, you can't go. What if there's drugs? My friends? When we like go somewhere and we're like getting ready at the house, she goes, um, no drugs, no alcohol, but just rock and roll. She did not say that, she said it every time. That's her catch hrats. I did not know that. I haven't lived with her for enough time. But yeah, she lets

us wear whatever we want. Like it's which is really nice that I think she loves it. I know that when she was our age, her and her friend and like used to dress up and go out dancing together and like used to have fun. And I really do think like she because she had such good memories with that she wants us to do the same. I know, Like sometimes I feel like she pushes you to be like, go what's your friends? That's it's actually crazy. Like when I was younger, I would I mean, like any other kids,

like when you're group of friends. I had so many friends. I was like, I'm gonna go out all the time, and like sometimes obviously i'd be like I tell my mom, I'm going to a friend's house. But I wouldn't be like I would be going to a different person's house, you know, like you'd be going to like city walk later like I would like not like parties, but I would go to like late night movie or like a late night you know, and I would get in so much trouble. So then now I like, don't leave the

house ever. And she's like, Kenzy, can you just go out? Like can you just go? And I'm like no, You're like, I'm comfortable playing sims in my and she's like, what happened to you? Do? You feel like now you can open up to mom more. I feel like now we can actually have more like adult conversations. I feel like now which and I think this is a really important thing to do with anyone listening with parents and like, uh kid dynamics, I feel like it's okay to set

a boundary both ways. And I feel like we started learning that like obviously, you know, you listen to your parents and whatever they tell you, but also I think it's important to be like, I have my own opinions too, and I want you to listen to me just as much as I listen to you. I think once we started doing that, like I don't know, it's like a healthier thing. And she she she's starting to like I feel like I understand that. Yeah, we have more conversations

than like screaming at each other. I think too, Like once we we both So when I was like fifteen sixteen, I went through the phase with my mom. I feel like everyone goes through that phase, but they're just like you're so close, but you just like butt heads, and me and my mom we're just like it was bad. That was a terrible time. I was terrible. So I was like, I can't be in the same room as you, like, And then Kenzie went through I got out of it. And then since I got out of it that Kenzie

went through, it was well. It was because Maddie moved out and so I was the only like I was her only baby in the house and I was the only person that she like put all of her attention on. And I was always like happy because I was like I'm never you know in the arguments, I'm never like getting involved, you know, like I was kind of just like on the sidelines, and I was like, you know what, I'm chill, like I find not like getting out that

all the time. And then it switched and then you grew out of it, and now you guys are in a really healthy spot. And I do feel bad for all the moms out there who have to deal with two teenage girls. Right at that time, we were hell. Literally even though we're like we're I can say that we're nice people and like we're not like crazy kids who rebels, but like I think we very much. It's

just something that happens. You know, you'd go through a phase where just like everything's annoying, everything's angsty, Like you're just an angsty team. Like it's just a thing. But and like so I appreciate mom for especially because we were with each other, like the three of us seven, that like we would fight so much. So then she would think, actually that we thought so much. But now it's like we're great and like she's the best human being.

And I think it's funny because she used to like embarrassed us so much, like we would be like oh my god, she's well, she's like mentally twenty five, like she calls herself. And for the longest time, I was like, this is so embarrassing, Like, but now I love it. So wow, you look so cute. She looks so young and cute. And I that's something I really look up to mom for is her energy is so positive, mostly like for the majority of the time. And she's like a very giving person. Like when I'm a mom, I

hope to be as giving as her. And she really really first of all, she does everything for us, and she like we're her world, and it's so like, I don't know, it's really inspiring and I and she's such a giving person. She helps out with these like amazing homeless foundations and charities and volunteers and goes and feeds them every Sunday and makes them cookies and donates all of our clothes. Like it's just she's such a giving

person and such an amazing mom in that way. And I just like even with our dogs, going back to if you didn't know we are doing moms, um, but

did you know? Um? But even with that, like if I'm going away, I know that you too, obviously, but like with Mom, I won't even have to worry the slightest bit if I have to like go for the weekend and know that Mom is going to be watching Boots, because I'm like, she's literally the most trustworthy person everything everything, Like she doesn't make mistakes, Like she's not in that way, Like she's literally like so put together, does everything puts all of her love and f and it's like so

sweet and she always knows how to do everything or like she always like like like handy stuff. Well yeah, but I'm saying, like she always knows where something is. If I'm like, Mom, I lost my I lost my something, like I don't blah blah, she will literally find it

in two seconds. And I'm like it's literally me and Eddie were talking about this and moms have this weird thing where like you could be looking for hours they opened the first door and they pull it out immediately, and you're like, how I've looked in that door as how Sometimes Yeah, I I also like going back to the thing how she's still giving she Like I love how she's so welcoming, like she if someone needs a place to say, she's always like, oh you can say,

like you can say however long you want. And I think it's so amazing because like, not a lot of people are like that. And you know, she's great. She just loves having people around and and like she has a really good intuition. I think I've learned for this. Yeah, she like remember when I said I had like thirty million friends before everyone I had a lot of her, I had half of the population. Felt like it. Honestly, literally,

they weren't good friends anyways. But but like my mom told me from the beginning, I would our house is always the house, and it still is where everyone comes over and like stays for a few days. Um, And she'd always be like, I don't like that one. And I'd be like, Mom, they're so nice and they're so amazing and so like blah blah blah blah. And then they always, yeah, they always end up being someone that is terrible, and I'm like, how did you know that?

But it sucks because I'm always like, you're right. I don't want to say you're right, but you're always right. I think to like just being as protective as she is over us in terms of like making sure that we're happy and everything. I think she's That's why her radar is so good because she's like I can just tell straight away, like you know you can tell with your it's your children, Like you know, I think, how would you describe her in three words? Um, she's I'm

like trying to think of the right words. She is trustworthy, very trustworthy. She's hilarious, like she's really funny and all of my friends obsessed with her. Um. And I think she's really hardworking too. She's a really hard working mom. Like she will go above and beyond for us, no matter where she is, what she's doing, Like she will drop anything, and it's so special. She's so special. We're

really just hyping you at mom. I know. I love how we're talking to HER's She's going to be posting this whole snippet, this whole podcast on her Instagram and being like my kids literally this that like snippet that we're talking about, this is going to be on her story and we're gonna so hi mom, Hey Mom, we love you. Um. But yeah, she's also like props to

her for like maintaining such an incredible energy. Well, she was going through a divorce when we were young, and like we were confused with like whoa what why is our dad not here? Like she literally just like I don't know. She kept the house, she's together, she made it work. And then I'm just you know, Also, it's so cool now because I feel like as we're getting older, we're like, Okay, you've spent your whole life treating us.
