 Hi guys, welcome back to my channel. Today's video is a Mother's Day special. I've been wanting to film this video since 2016. Wow, you waited this long? I waited this long. It's finally 2021. True, true. Yeah, so we are going to be doing the mom tag, but while we're answering like some questions, or while they're answering some questions, we're gonna be trying these cookies from Cookie Crumble, or Crumble Cookie. You do a question then we get a cookie for. Answering. Well, only if we answer correctly. Yeah. Okay. And I'll decide. Okay. Questions are gonna be. I'll decide if it's all right. Okay. Oh, and Happy Mother's Day for all. Happy Mother's Day everyone. Happy Mother's Day. So the first question is, and I guess whoever wants to answer first, what was I like as a child? She was a hellion. She was incorrigible. She is ran around like a crazy person all the time. The real story is she was a sweet, wonderful child. Everyone loved Alex. She always had such a nice personality, especially all the adults that she knew, really loved her. She was very easy, I guess. She didn't cause us any problems. She was what? She was. Oh my God. That's gonna stay in there. I was gonna say easy to handle. I was gonna say easy to handle, but easy to handle sounds like a pet. So I was gonna say. This is already started off great. You didn't cause any problems. It's okay. Sherry's a little rusty with the video. Is there? Okay. Let's just all get a cookie. All right, who wants to try what? Let me be the producer. Oh, I'll hold it. The gallery holds it. Okay, I'll hold it. So I wanna try a piece of the lemon. I'm gonna try a piece of all of them. Ooh, it's crumbly. Very good. It's tasty. This is the lemon flavor. This is lemon. Lemon. It's like trained animals. They give you a treat after you say the right answer. Yeah. Okay, next question. Well, in my case, just give any answer. What do you think about me making YouTube videos? Fine. I think it's something you'd love to do. You make a little money at it. It gives you great pleasure. You're good at it. I enjoy being in the videos. So I think it's great. I think you should continue doing it if that's what you'd like to do. What's something funny I did when I was younger? Alex would go to the office with me every day until she was old enough to start school, put that knife down. Don't think, I don't know what to think with that knife there, Alex. And so she'd go in the office and she became like our mascot at our real estate office. Great. And Alex learned how to staple, properly staple on the angle, staple and collate at a very young age, maybe three, four years old. And whenever we would have someone come into the real estate office, she had learned how to go over and offer them a drink, see if there's anything they wanted. So she was a mascot and a hostess. She really was. She was the hostess with the mostess and three years old. And it was wonderful. We all just enjoyed that so much, seeing Alex functioning in that role in the real estate office. Plus it allowed me as the broker there, the owner of the company, to be able to save on receptionist expense. Child labor. Ooh, I should have said that. Ooh, I should have said that. No, actually we had a receptionist. Alex was just a helper, an intern, an unpaid intern. Well, personally I didn't think that was very funny. So you wanted a funny story. I don't really, I can't really think of anything funny. I think of something funny. That you did. I think of something funny. But I always saw something that was kind of unusual that you could do, was that More unusual than collage? For a long, yeah, for a long time, she had such power in her legs that if she wanted to like sit on your hip, you could just put out your fingers like this and she'd grab your fingers and she could propel herself up into the air and right onto your hip. True. I would say I named all of my stuffed animals after Valerie. Oh, that's true. I named everything Valerie. You had Valerie shrimp. Yeah, so that's really funny. That's funny. Alex loved the green alien blow-up thing that you get at the fair. And Alex loved that. And so while other children, while other children were going to bed with their little soft furry little stuffed animals, Alex was squeezing a plastic blow-up alien. Alien guy. So alien was like Alex's, one of Alex's very favorite toys. Kind of like anatomy guy, too. Yeah, we had anatomy guy. Okay. A hard plastic thing that you could take its guts out. This is gonna be a long video. And Alex loved it. Next question. This is really funny. Have you learned anything about makeup and beauty from me? Yeah, I got crumbs on my shirt. Have I learned anything about makeup and beauty from you? No, they haven't. Well, I was forced to learn because of dance. I was forced to learn how to do her makeup because of dance. So I didn't really know a lot about applying the, whatever, all that stuff that had to be applied to your face. And eyelashes, the false eyelashes we had to put on. And how your lashes were like different for you than for everybody else because you had smaller eyes. Yeah. Make sure. You're gonna get out of that one. Okay, which cookie do we want this? No, I know. Wait a minute. We should get a cookie now. Yeah, we should. No, no, no, I learned something from you. What? I learned about hair because, well, you see, when one gets older, when one gets older. Not me. This is not, this is not my thing. Okay, when one gets older and one already has fine hair, then their hair gets finer and thinner. Yeah. And so I found that I was losing an unacceptable amount of hair. So I took Alex to Alta and I said, Alex, help me. And Alex got this great shampoo for me. And I've used that shampoo now for a couple years. I'm good with hair. And it has turned my hair into the luxurious hair that you see now. So yes, I did learn that from Alex. Cool. Cookie. Well, this is the chocolate chip that is the. Let's do chocolate chip. I wanna save the chocolate one for last for me. Hang on a second, do a taste test. Thumbs up on the chocolate chip. Way to go crumbles is really good. Milk chocolate chip. They actually specify that. And I like milk chocolate. Surprise is really good. I didn't know at first, but now I kinda like it. Definitely be having more of that one. And the next question is what is the weird habit of mine? A weird habit. When you were little, you always smelled everything. Oh yeah. Francie will say that too. Paper book. Well, I still do. Everything. I still do. You smell everything. Yeah. Alex loves the holograms. And I love playing with them and scratching them. And she loves to play with holograms. Look at holograms. They're so cool. She's always loved holograms. So she has a whole collection of hologram postcards from Disney. I do. Starting from 2008, I think. No, earlier than that. I mean, you first started on Disney. Yeah, okay. Scratches. Oh my gosh. Mothers tell all. If you had to rename your daughter, what would you name her? Oh, I know. Oh my gosh. I'm scared. I gotta remember now. What is the country? The country. Bellaroos. Yeah. I would name Alex Bellaroos. Great. I'm so happy that didn't happen. I used to tell Alex all the time that I was going to have, if it had been up to me, I would have named her Bellaroos. And why? And why is that even funny? I don't know. But I always made Alex laugh. And sometimes, in fact, I wouldn't even call her Bellaroos. Jerry? Well, I like the name you have right now. Well, yeah. If I was just going to name you without Valerie involved. Right. Even though it would have been hard for you to learn to write this, probably, and to put it on those Scantron cards. I hate those. I know. I really like Alexandra Josephine. Oh my gosh. Blankenship. Alexandra Josephine Blankenship. Oh my gosh. That would be quite some name to put on there. But Josephine would have been after my granny. Do you know if I had a boy? Yeah. Oh, I know the name. What's the name? No. Oh. It would have been Norwood. Norwood? Oh my gosh. Oh my God. No, I would not even. I would have named a girl Bellaroos and a boy Norwood. And then I would have changed their last names to Chancellor. So we would have had Norwood, Chancellor. We would get bullied. And Bellaroos, Chancellor. So. They would be the laughing stock of the school. Bellaroos, Chancellor. Actually, the first name that I liked for you was Bailey. Yeah. I was going to be named Bailey. No, it wasn't because we had to vote. When you guys go out to eat, what does she order? Well, actually, you have expanded your repertoire for the bit. Well, it's like my go-to. Well, I don't think that they have eggs without the yolk. Hot dog? No, that's not my go-to. Salmon. Yeah. Oh, well, I mean, you didn't specify. They don't have like salmon. Salmon is the same for fine dining. Yeah. You always get french fries with whether it's fine dining or fast food. True. If it's fast food, you like Chick-fil-A. Oh, I love Chick-fil-A. I know, I know. Let's not talk about it, ladies. You will eat, though, you will have steak, as long as it's filet mignon. Yeah. Caesar salad. You have Caesar salad. You will have, you'll eat a chicken breast, won't you? Yeah. Wings. Yeah. You'll eat crab legs. OK, guys, I've made a whole video. If you want to see the video of all the foods I eat, I'll link it down below. OK, I'll need to name them. OK. All right, cookie time. Which one do we want to try next? Show them something. You can show them. Show them. The cookies are kind of delicate. It looks like it's an onion on top of it. I don't want to drop it. Look how big my hand looks when it comes close. Whoa! I'm keeping that in there. This is really what we do. We sit around at home at night with a big old box of cookies because I'm my love. We look like we sit around with a big old box of cookies. Well, yeah. Not you, but. Well, I work out. OK. The mummies. Yep, really good. Really? What's it taste like? You have no idea. OK. It's got buttercream frosting. Well, you were supposed to know. You picked them up. That's really good. What is one thing you wish she would do? Well, you do everything that we want you to do. Yeah, that's true. I do like a lot of the chores. I know. I have something. I know. What is the harp on you about all the time you go out? Oh, putting on earrings. Wear earrings. Yeah, I know. I wish you would wear earrings all the time. I don't care if she wears earrings. My body, my choice. Yo. I had to do that. That is really good. Thank you. She is so funny. I still want you to wear earrings. She is hilarious. You know that already, though. I am sure that the studio audience already knows that you're hilarious, right? I don't know. She is so funny. Oh my god, she's so funny. She's a perfect kid. Oh my god. She is. She is everything I wanted to do. You have something chocolate on your hand. I know. There's no wonder. Next question. What's something I do that annoys you? Oh my god, the list is so long. I'm just kidding. I know. Because that's like the reverse of the last question. I know. OK, OK. If you want to think of anything that annoys me. What's something I obsess over? You used to obsess over your hair when we had to put it in a bun. Yeah, I still obsess over my hair. Let's just say I obsess over. Now, thank you. Obsesses over exercise now. What? Now, I think you're becoming like an exercise person, which is good. It's a lifestyle. I don't want to get out of it because it's so hard to get back in. I know. Now, I mean, I think that's good. Yeah. It's just I have to keep a routine or else like I'll just let myself go like. No, like me. Yeah. So I have to like have that discipline. Obsess over boys. Not a product of the people who raise me. Definitely. We're getting like five questions per cookie. OK, OK. Where would you like to see me in 10 years? Happy. Oh, that's so sweet, Valerie. That's what I care about. Sandy, I care about now. Sherry. I want to see you happy. I would like to see you happy also. And I think that happy would be married with a couple of kids, being a stay at home mom, and doing YouTube full time. Yeah, I'd love to do that. I think that is like my like what I want. That's what you want to be. Then that's what you should be. Oh, and own a corgi. Oh, yes. That's a must. When are you the most proud of me? Every day. In every way. Oh, my goodness. These two, they don't script this stuff. I'm proud of you doing all sorts of things. I have to take drugs. Excuse me. I mean, I'm proud of you. What you do in your other job. Yeah. I'm proud of you doing your YouTube. I'm proud of you. When we go out, I'm proud of you when you go see my mother with me. Oh, really? Yes. You do such a good job with my mother. I feel like I should say more, but I just don't. No, but you do. I mean, you do a very good job with her. I try. She likes you very much. OK. That's good to know. And I'm proud of you when you help out here around the house, because God knows we need it. Very proud when she goes to dishes. I mean, I am proud of you. You are, you have grown into a wonderful person and a wonderful woman. Thank you. And I am very, very proud of you. And I am not kidding. And I love you very, very much. No, I know you're not kidding. I know. I'm not. I tell you all the time how proud I am of you. Sherry agrees. I just, I agree. All right, what's the next cookie? OK, can we get a cookie after that? OK, this cookie, I'm not really interested in. I'm not into it either. That is an oatmeal cookie. Sherry, take a bite of it, because I want to know. We have to take a bite of it. Just because everybody has to take a bite. Everybody's got to try everything. I mean, I really do not like raisins. OK, take this one. That's a little less peace. Chocolate is not raisins. Oh, it's chocolate. OK. Ew, I don't like oatmeal. I could live without it. Not very good. If you like oatmeal cookies, it's probably very good. I wonder if we're going to be sick tonight. If it was the only cookie left in the box, I would eat it. What's your favorite moment of us together? Just one moment. Again, there are so many. Yeah. Don't know if this is a favorite moment. OK. But as an adult, you as an adult, when we were at the Shaman Reunion, and we were going down Bourbon Street, and you and I went into the bar to get the Jell-O shots. Yeah, that was fun. And we had never really had an adult experience like that together. It was kind of weird. And we both had been to that place and had quite a few adult beverages. But I thought that was so interesting to have an adult moment with my daughter going into that bar and getting those Jell-O shots. But that wasn't my favorite. It was unusual. It wasn't my favorite moment, but it was a moment that made me realize that you were an adult and that I had just had this adult experience with you by going into that bar and getting those Jell-O shots. Can it be a series of moments? Yeah, I was going to say dance years. Yeah, I was going to say. She was a dance mom. Yeah, I was going to say those moments of picking you up at school and taking you to some place to eat before we went to dance. And you talk about school, what happened that day at school. And it wasn't always fun and exciting and invigorating. And we did do a tap-douette together. Doing a tap-douette was very wise. So the tap-douette. We'll have to do a reaction video to that. OK, so probably just the whole dance thing was probably favorite moments. Even though you like yelled when I did your hair and makeup. Yeah. There's still something to look back on. I know. And can I add something? Yeah. And when Alex was little, when we still lived in Columbus, and Alex was going to Wellshill Schools for preschool and kindergarten before we moved here to Florida, I would take Alex to preschool or to kindergarten. That was always fun because we would talk on the way. But it was really fun because on the way there, we would go to McDonald's and have breakfast. Learn about the planets. And we'd learn about the planets. And did you know that Michael Collins died? Oh, yeah, I did know. OK, and I made her learn the three astronauts that went up in Apollo 11 so that she could name who walked on the moon the first time, second time who was in the command module. Anyway, it was Michael Collins, by the way. But anyway, it was so cool because we would have that special time together in McDonald's. OK. So lots of the little things, just everyday things. How was I in school? How was I a good student? Did I make it great? Yes, you're a very good student. I think being a student was one of my strongest She was an excellent student. Points of me, I don't know. You'd go to school, dance, and then come home immediately. It helped you get more organized when you already were. Get your homework done, take a shower, go to bed. She was a very good student. I made very good grades. I worked hard. She did. But I still can't. I still can't tell the main idea of a story. So don't even try to ask me that. Two more questions, and then we can finish off the cookies. What would you change if you could raise me again? I would teach you more things about being... Let's see, how can I say this? I don't want to be insulting. Things like classy cooth things. Yeah. Like table manners. I would want to take etiquette classes. Where the fork you're supposed to use. Etiquette. And covering school. Covering your mouth when you yawn. I know. Why do you cover my mouth? I know, I said that for Sherry. I know. And doing things that are... I'm like not turning the potato chip bag up. Okay. But probably is that like Valerie. But there are some things that we did not teach you along the line of being classy and cooth. Yeah. And I think it's because we didn't really care that much personally. Right. But I think that when you get out in society... You need to... You should know how to do those things. Which my mother taught me how to do those things. Right. If I had to do them. Right. That's like a job interview or something. And or if you go to a fancy dinner and know, you know, which fork to use and that sort of thing. I want to get my kids early in classes like that. Well, I can still learn, you know. Yeah, I know. Okay. Sherry. That's what I would say. I probably would have spent less money when you were younger. So you would have more money when you got older. Oh my gosh. Yes, guys. Describe my perfect guy. You can just add things. Couple of years older. Yeah. Tall, nice build, not chubby, but not too skinny. Blonde, Caucasian. Smart. Business-minded, smart, career-minded with goals and values that line up with yours. And we'll do YouTube. And we'll do YouTube. That's right. Yeah, I mean, well, they don't have to. But they have to be okay for you to do YouTube and have your kids on YouTube. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd like to travel too. We'd like to travel some, right? I'd like to travel some. I am typically a homebody, though, as most of you guys know. Yeah, but I mean, but she likes to go. I do like to go. I do like to go places and stuff. Yeah, I would agree with what Sherry said. We're going to finish these cookies. So happy Mother's Day, everyone. Hope you guys had a good day. Nice day yesterday. And I'm about sick. They're going to make me eat two more cookies. I feel like this is some sort of torture I've gone through, because we just had a big dinner. It was a lovely dinner. Dry cookie crumbies. I've eaten. I've eaten, like, big chunks of three, four cookies now. No, I gave her a whole slice. We mean you just split one. We just had a little slice. I don't really care about this one at all, because I don't like chocolate at all. We're going to finish these cookies. But this sugar one, I love. But I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Make sure to give it a thumbs up. Hopefully we entertained you some. And don't forget to subscribe. And I'll see you guys in my next video. Bye. Bye.
