In this episode, Mom talks about:
- 🌳 A very good climbing tree (RIP tree)
- 🍉 A watermelon-looking bathing suit and photo memories
- 🏡 Moving from Pointe-Claire, Quebec to Burlington
- 🌿 Jumping hedges, high jump dreams, and worrying about Omi cutting herself with hedge clippers
- ⚾ Playing catch with Opa (and maybe getting hit in the face with a baseball)
- 🚗 A weird shared driveway with a tiny cliff you could fall off
- 💻 Growing up with so many computers and early “coding” before it was cool
- ⌨️ Being weirdly good at typing in school
- 🎮 Playing Mario and Donkey Kong at friends’ houses with short, uncomfortable cords
- 💿 Cassette tapes, CDs, six-disc changers, and watching technology change in real time
- 👄 Lip Smackers (especially the good flavours… and the weird Dr. Pepper one)
- 👯 Best friends, long visits, mono, and endless Super Mario sessions
- ☎️ The very first phone call with a friend while playing a computer game
- 💭 How certain objects, sounds, and games always remind you of specific people
- 😴 Reassurance that you don’t have to stay awake for any of this
Mood: calm, wandering, slightly sick Mom voice
Sleep level: very safe to fall asleep
Important reminder: You can listen again tomorrow
