Episode notes
Toddler Leash Saved The Museum Trip
- Moyo used a toddler leash with butterfly wings during a museum visit to keep her child from sprinting into exhibits.
- The leash saved her from constant chasing and drew mixed looks until people saw how active the toddler was.

- Jess feels grown when she cooks whatever she wants and sets the household meal rules: what she makes is what the family eats.
- She often skips dairy for herself while still making family meals with cheese and enforces that kids eat what she prepares.
Knee Injury From Stopping Too Fast
- Brett described tearing his ACL and meniscus during indoor soccer when his knee kept moving after his body stopped, producing a loud pop and immediate inability to stand.
- He later learned the noise was bones hitting each other and scheduled surgery for both injuries.
