🄵 Fact: Hi-5 walked so Cocomelon could... crawl?

Mothers, mimosas and being saged against your will 😳

It’s Tuesday, ya bloody legends!

Mother’s Day was this past Sunday, so I hope you all spoiled your mums and showed your appreciation! Big shout out to the mum in this week’s Overheard though, who is nothing less than an unbothered queen šŸ‘ø. In other news, IDK what this man in the second Overheard has against budgies, but I hope he eventually makes peace with it. Either that or… perhaps a tinfoil hat would help!

BTW, can you even call yourself an Aussie kid if you didn’t love Hi-5? I wanted to be our Filipina queen Kathleen so bad — Asian representation at its finest! I also remember pushing the couch back to make space in front of the TV so I could sing and dance along to their iconic bops. Meanwhile, kids these days are glued to their iPads watching Cocomelon šŸ« .

Speaking of ā€œL.O.V.E.ā€, I’m hoping Corinne’s note to this mysterious man really goes somewhere! Instead of a cafĆ© in the NSW countryside though, maybe they could consider opening a different kind of coffee shop in Amsterdam šŸ‘€.

See y’all next week for more fun times!

Sending love to the cute boy who waited on my table last week at the local cafĆ©. You had a deep, soothing voice and a bit of an accent (Dutch, perhaps?), and were really tall with sandy blonde hair. You asked me about my day, I asked you about yours, and to keep the convo going, I asked you to recommend something from the menu. You proceeded to list a bunch of meat-heavy dishes I can’t eat, ’cause I really should’ve told you I’m vegetarian, but honestly? I didn’t care, I just wanted to hear you talk so I could stare at your face. Next time I come in, please give me your number so we can start a cute cafĆ© in the countryside together.

Overheard a mother and daughter arguing at a fancy brunch place on Mother’s Day 😳. Apparently, mum doesn’t approve of the daughter’s new boyfriend because, and I quote, ā€œHe owns too many crystals, kept calling me a Capricorn when I’m clearly a Virgo, and tried to sage-cleanse my aura and house without asking.ā€ Things got so heated the daughter stormed off, and the mum just sat there sipping her mimosa like nothing happened. I aspire to be a diva like her.

Walked past a man who exclaimed frustratedly to his wife, ā€œI’m telling you, that budgie that keeps flying into our backyard is obviously trained by the government to spy on us!ā€ I have so many questions…
