The Abscess, the Underwear, and the Questionable Cocktail Attire

About this episode

Cynthia and Heather discuss summer parenting challenges, graduation season, and the differences in cocktail attire between North Carolina and Dallas.

Summer is here, which means Cynthia is creating ambitious plans for educational walks and homeschooling (which should last until approximately Tuesday at noon), and Heather is simply trying to survive graduation season and a questionable medical intervention. This week, they compare notes on a wedding, summer parenting, airplane annoyances, and the shocking discovery that "cocktail attire" means something completely different in North Carolina than it does in Dallas. They also discuss a particular ring bearer who took his responsibilities a little too seriously, a graduation season celebrity sighting, and a reference to the "Harvey Weinstein of Dallas." Plus, Heather contemplates buying an inflatable Gaga Ball pit, and a routine Target return takes a dark turn when Cynthia is unexpectedly reunited with an unmentionable at customer service. As always, it's equal parts life advice and public embarrassment.
