EP26: The One with Powerball Dreams, Gift Cutoffs, and Graphic Distractions

This week’s family dinner takes a wild ride. We imagine what life would look like if we hit the Powerball jackpot—though Mom still doesn’t quite grasp that being a billionaire means you can officially retire from chores. Kelly’s nurse chimes in with a very graphic medical story that left us all queasy (consider this your warning).To lighten things up, the family plays a round of Would You Rather—and we’d love to hear your answers in the Facebook group! Later, the conversation turns to birthdays: at what age do we stop getting each other gifts? Matthew has strong opinions… shocking, we know.It’s a mix of laughter, mild trauma, and a whole lot of sibling banter.🌮 Mom’s Tortilla RecipeAs promised, if you caught our video, here’s Mom’s tortilla recipe.
