Lessons in Chemistry Part 5 (Chapters 12 - 13)

The girlies are back at it with a quick 80 minute mini-episode on Lessons in Chemistry. They start off by wasting time discussing the days of the week. They find the riveting finding that Sunday is the day between Saturday & Monday and is considered the first day of the week in US but the last day of the week in Czech. We find out that Chrissy is a masochist (she has to have some bad quality) and is planning on running a marathon but has not been sticking to her running plan. To make sure they stick to their timeline, they set a timer to make sure they stay on track. Within the first 5 minutes of discussing the book, Candice requests to pause the timer to give her time to do research on tombstone engravers. Chrissy makes sure we stick to our timer so our Fiction or Fifties goes unverified. The girls discuss the difficulty of motherhood - especially single-motherhood, abortions, why focusing on abortion is actually the wrong conversation to have, how gender roles are introduced before babies are even born, and more heavy topics in another depressing episode of Lessons in Chemistry. Luckily there is light at the end of this tunnel with the introduction of Harriet Sloan in next weeks episode Part 6 Kourtney Kardashian pulling out her baby Ultra Marathons The History of Tombstone Engraving
