The Good Ole Days Are Now
from The Normal Mess · host Ashley and Cayce
It's Thursday, and Ashley wants to know whatever happened to pants (pants). That was a Chicago (the musical) reference, people. But seriously: why are pants such strange shapes and lengths these days?! Fear not! Cayce has the pep talk we all need: even National Parks get 1-star reviews. And, who knew "birds" was a humor category we needed? Memes are for the birds, friends, and we mean that with all the love and respect of future birdwatchers. Then, we're talking nostalgia. More specifically, we're talking about why some brains (ahem, ours) are more wired for it, how it shows up in motherhood, and how we can see the moments we're in more clearly when we're in them. What are our earliest memories, and what are we nostalgic for (other than jeans that made sense)? There are some lessons we can take from The Office, and Ashley cries. Good news/bad news here, Messy Besties: nothing lasts forever. Finally, in a nod to the nostalgia some people (ahem, not us) feel for high school, we're sharing what our superlatives would be today!It's real and it's funny, and sometimes it's real funny. But also, it's no joke! Rate, review, comment, and follow along as we bring The Normal Mess to the masses! We'd love to hear from you:Instagram & TikTok: @thenormalmessEmail: [email protected]
