Summer vacations, preteen phobias, and gun violence pre-coronavirus

About this Episode

We recorded this episode when Roo was 11 and just starting the 6th grade. The world was a few months away from being introduced to the coronavirus. A lot has changed since then in our conversational dynamic, and certainly with the culture we’re living in, but we thought it would be refreshing to share some hindsight perspective. So, on this episode we recap our summer vacation from August of 2019 at Universal Studios in Orlando, we discuss Roo’s fear of human beings dressed as animals, and we talk about gun violence and how it’s shaped our everyday lives.
