Transcript:
Yeah, leave it right by their plate. All right. Well, we are live in all the places.
Oh, great. Excited to be here.
Yeah. Welcome to MomCave LIVE, where we may have lost our minds, but we haven’t lost our sense of humor. I’m Jen and I’m here with the very humorous Elizabeth. Elizabeth wrote a book that we’re gonna talk about that is gonna save all of your asses, I think. This is it.
Yeah, that’s it.
It’s Don’t Be A Pusi, A Politically Incorrect Book for Entitled Teens and Their Traumatized Parents.
Oh, I know. It’s a tough title. It’s a tough title, but it does digest eventually. Yeah.
Yeah, well, you know, there’s a page in the very beginning of the book that shows the root of this word pusi, P U S I. Can you explain that?
Yeah, so pusillanimous means someone who lacks conviction and wherewithal and intuitiveness and all the things that the expression, don’t be a pussy, what we know today, means. So I kind of used that word once as a joke with my son and I was, oh, sorry about that. I used that once I really had one of those parenting moments where I just had enough and I kind of went, oh, for God’s sake, just don’t be a pussy. Now they kind of burst into laughter. They kind of laughed. It wasn’t like the traumatizing effect you would imagine that it would have on some kids, but no, they were teenage boys. So they were like, are you serious? So, and I realized, wow, I’m speaking their language, right? This is the language of a teenage boy. And he heard me, he laughed but he heard me, and it kind of became a family thing. It became funny, right? And I think it was after I read that Dr. Seuss was canceled, which is one of my favorite children’s books. And to this day I love the rhyming and the humor in Dr. Seuss. They were thinking, well, someone’s gonna have to pick up the Dr. Seuss, you know, tradition here.
