Little Debbie and Shagnasty

We start out with etiquette and move into the clothes we buy and how our early childhood trained us toward brand loyalty. The things we lived as children really do shape our adult perceptions. Kat & Moose howl through the depths of each other’s deepest problems, rooted in terminology used in their lives before age 5. And someone may have peed their pants.

Kat pontificates about etiquette and Emily Post, including when the appropriate time is to put one’s napkin in one’s lap. Kat’s Mom is against paper towels and dishwashers. 

Moose shops at Old Navy and Macy’s and wears clothes off of the rack. Kat, not so much. Moose talks about drunk shopping on eBay. Kat wears a head lamp when she walks her dogs in the dark. 

Moose has a theory that the items we purchase are based on what we grew up with. Oat Milk and Almond Milk are a thing now. 

Moose needed Nike-brand cleats in high school. She celebrated the Payless Shoe Store version just the same.

Moose asks Kat about childhood grocery store brand loyalty. Somehow Kat’s family always had Diet Coke, and never generic colas. Moose’s family was a Pepsi family. Moose talks about Granda Alice and her trucker-cup full of whiskey. Moose talks about Red Soda and her sister’s special time. Grandma Alice thought pads were Little Debbie Cakes.

The conversation circles back to Kat’s early childhood wounds due to her Grandmother calling her “Shagnasty.” Moose tries to break the shackles off of Kat from being called “Shagnasty.”

The rest...well, you have to listen.
