A quick warning.
There are curse words that are unbeeped.
In today's episode of the show.
If you prefer a beeped version, you.
Can find that at our website, thisamericanlife.org.
From WBEZ Chicago, it's this American Life.
I'm Bim Adewon, me sitting in for Ira Glass.
Do you know what the square footage of your, of your home is?
Oh, God, Bim, how could you ask me that, you monster?
I'm sorry, that's my friend Mona.
Mona bought a house after saving for 10 years and she has a lot of complicated feelings about that house.
For the majority of her life, she's thought of herself as a person who doesn't have money.
That's what makes her her, no matter the actual reality.
It's been that way since she was a kid.
I went to a school and just up the street was another school that was a private school that was called Bancrofts and we all used to call it Wancrofts because I think there was just this understanding that those rich kids were not like us and they weren't like us because I think even when you're like 11 years old, you know that the future ahead of them is just smoother, it just has less friction in it.
And I think we resented them even then for that fun fact.
We went to an all girls school and they called us the Virgin Megastore, which is also pretty accurate, I would say.
The Virgin Megastore, yeah.
So accurate.
Children are so witty and horrible.
