Apparently we've reached the phase of motherhood where our kids are losing teeth, questioning our ages, and making us feel approximately 50 years old.

This week, we're talking about everything from the absolute audacity of Costco putting out Christmas decorations before October to Halloween candy politics, stolen trick-or-treat bowls, and the surprisingly complicated business of the tooth fairy.

Plus, Kendall gets personally victimized by a Costco cardboard box, Emily almost becomes a youth soccer coach, and we discuss why taking multiple kids to the doctor should qualify as an extreme sport.

Just another week of being humbled by motherhood. wait...same.

Key takeaways

• Our kids have no problem humbling us. Whether they're confidently telling us we're 50 or making us realize we have no business coaching soccer, motherhood keeps everyone grounded.
• We're somehow already parenting actual kids. Loose teeth, sports practices, and tooth fairy logistics are arriving, and neither of us seem particularly ready.
• Can we enjoy the season we're actually in? Christmas decorations appearing before October spark a bigger realization that we’re just rushing through holidays and childhood.
