Joy: Hey guys, this is Joy.

Claire: And this is Claire.

Joy: And this is Joy and Claire.

Joy and Claire: Hi.

Claire: Welcome to the second week of August, which is crazy. Time goes marching on.

Joy: Time goes marching on.

Claire: I was at a coffee shop yesterday eating croissants, which I love.

Joy: And every time you say “croissants,” you know what I want to say.

Claire: [French accent] Croi-ssant. John Hay. If you guys don’t know that story, the quick story is that my dad won’t say [pronounced with hard “t”] croissant and will only say [French accent] croissant. One time we were at Burger King, and he tried to order a [French accent] croissan’wich, and the guy was like, “What?” It was a classic John Hay moment.

Joy: Would you please not try to be a Frenchman right now? 

Claire: Yeah, please dad. Now is not the time. We know. We know that you know how to pronounce it.

Joy: We know that you know French.

Claire: You have made your point. Please proceed with your [pronounced with a hard “t”] croissan’wich.

Joy: So you were having a croissant. Yes.

Claire: And this family was sitting at the coffee shop. I’m on the coffee shop patio, and this family was behind us. They were talking to their 5-year-old. The dad said, “Yeah, Christmas is only four months away.” And I was like, you shut your whore mouth.

Joy: Well you know what, I was so angry two weeks ago, so that would be not even August. I was in Costco, and they had kid Halloween costumes. Scott and I walked up, and I was like, “No, I’m not ready.” And they already have the mums out, which I’m like it’s too early. They’re going to get fried if you put a mum out right now. 

Claire: Yeah, no.

Joy: Don’t buy your mums right now. Costco, please stop mum-quishing. I see the mums, and I want the mums, but they’re going to die if I buy them. Because they’re so pretty inside, but I’m like, how do these survive? It’s just way too early. I know that sounds so cliche of me to be like, “It’s already August?” But I just feel like every year they start bringing out the Halloween costumes or the Christmas decorations so early. What is the rush? What is the rush?

Claire: Guess what time it is? School supply time.

Joy: I love this time of year. I love going through Target and seeing all the school supplies, and I live vicariously through all the families shopping.
