What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Lapland Hotels is the best hotel chain in Finland. And you wake up in the morning.
What happens when a parent tells their child that Bob Ross is dead?
Enjoy the summer nights in our city hotels. Now every 6th night.
Hmm, where can I get a perfect katkarapuleivä from? By ordering from the supplier.
Let's party! Now to the ship's top-of-the-line early departure price. Order now. Tallinksilja.fi.
All right, let's go to the ship. Hello, and welcome to Smosh Reads Reddit Stories. I'm Shane, and today's theme is parents, parenting. And I am joined by two people who are parents, one of a baby boy and one of a little tiny napkin. Amanda and Trevor, thank you for joining me. I hope that you're doing well. I know it's tough. It is tough.
How does a husband react to his wife's gaming addiction affecting parenting?
Yeah, it's tough because he does this thing where he, in the morning at like 8.30 on the dot, he gets up and he starts licking my eyeball because he wants breakfast. And we should be clear that napkin, when I say napkin, it's a dog. It is a dog. Not a napkin. Not an actual. Oh, that would be so bizarre. My son also licks my eyeballs when he wants food. And I'm like, how'd you get here? Stop. How'd you get here? Where'd you come from? My haunted baby. Don't even start. I don't think we might have. I don't think we've done a parents episode. I know. I feel like I'm on my best behavior right now.
What are the benefits of teaching a baby sign language?
I feel a little very polite. Yeah. We'll see how long that lasts. Do you think you have takes on parenting that have changed or new ones? Totally changed. Yeah? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Interesting.
What is a 'period party' and how does it affect a 12-year-old?
I would say one of my favorite books is Bringing Up the Bebe. It's like the French book. It's a little bit more hands-off. I don't know, though. It's all kind of intuitive. You cannot plan how you're going to be as a mom until you become a mom. That's what I'm going to say. Okay. And how do you feel about that with Napkin?
How does a dad handle the unexpected news of his daughter's first period?
I feel that way with Napkin. Yeah, I mean, when we first got Napkin, I mean, he was peeing all over himself. Yeah. And then it was like, you know, we had to figure that out. But it's figured out now, and he's great. No, I have a really great relationship with my actual parents. I feel like they're amazing. I think that they have... I feel like they just set me up really well. I know that when I am a dad of a human child, I'm obviously not gonna be ready, but I feel like they were really good examples for me. Everyone always says you're never ready, but let me tell you, your intuition does actually kick in. Okay.
What humorous incident occurs with a fishbowl during a hospital visit?
You weirdly kind of know what to do. Okay. Let's get into some of these parenting stories. Our first one comes from Today I Fucked Up, and it was posted in July of 2020. Whoa! Bad year. Anyways, this story goes. Today I fucked up by telling my daughter her hero, Bob Ross, was dead. Oh. That's her daughter's hero? What if I was like, he died? He died? Wait. No, he's still painting. Down the street.
What lessons can be learned from the parenting stories shared?
Bob Ross? Wait, do not. Oh my God. What's next, Mr. Rogers? No, he doesn't know who Bob Ross is. You don't know who Bob Ross is? Of course I know who Bob Ross is. Oh, then what was happening there? I was really sad that he died. Oh, I thought he didn't know. No, I already knew he was dead, but it just brought back up some emotions, you know? Let's get into this. Okay. Obligatory, this was two years ago. My daughter was four at the time. My daughter's love of Bob Ross started in the womb. I had a terrible insomnia throughout my pregnancy and I would listen to Bob Ross painting tutorials each night to fall asleep. At the time, I thought it helped me sleep because it was essentially soothing background noise, but recently I've learned about ASMR and I realized that I am super susceptible to certain sounds, such as quiet, calm voices and the scratching of paint brushes and tools.
Anyways, after my daughter was born, I continued to have a hard time sleeping, this time because of a crying and demanding baby. So every night I'd lay down in my bed with her next to me in the bassinet, and I'd play Bob Ross. As my daughter got older, she began to demand Bob Ross. We'd read a board book or two before bed, and then we'd watch one half hour tutorial. By the end of these videos, my daughter, and often myself, would be sound asleep.
