My Kid’s Being Rude and Office Furniture Fu*kery
About this episode
Lauren Howard reflects on her daughter's 10th birthday and shares humorous stories about office furniture mishaps and social media pressures.
My oldest turns 10 this week, which is rude and kind of bullshit, and I will accept no part of it. She did not ask my permission. Hi, I'm Lauren Howard . Some people call me L2. You can too if you want. This is my podcast "Different, Not Broken" which is about exactly that. In this episode, I take you back to exactly 10 years ago — the Thursday night when a weird feeling turned into a labor story I was absolutely not ready for, including the shower incident. (You’ll know when you get there.) Then we get into what I’m calling Furniture Fuckery: the story of why my home office carpet smelled like funky ass dog for a decade, how it took me 10 years to buy a desk I first saw when we bought this house, and how Manny — a furniture store salesperson on his very first day — accidentally became the emotional highlight of my weekend. Alison joins for this week’s Small Talk to answer Kevin from Rhode Island, who is already spiraling about his upcoming high school reunion. We talk comparison culture, social media highlight reels, and why nobody — and I mean nobody — has their shit together. Not even the people who look like they do. I have lots of excellent things available for you to buy in…
