Let's do it yourself.
I always said this wrong. This is always a hard- It's hard to say. I always wanted to say D-Y-I. Sure. I famously said that in front of somebody and they corrected me and I got humiliated.
Oh, no. Who? Martha Stewart?
I wish. Yeah. Yeah. I wanna be humiliated by her. I'd be a sub. Baby girl. Yeah, I'd be her baby girl. I think everyone would. Yeah. Okay, let's see. There's maggots. I think I gotta warn. Oh, shit, don't say that. No, I think I gotta tell people what other things are here. Blood. Blood. Yeah, blood and maggots. Please enjoy. Do it yourself. Project's gone wrong.
Hello. Hi. How are you two?
Wonderful. What a bright smile. Did you just get your teeth zoomed?
No. You'll never believe this, but I used Arm & Hammer. I used the baking soda toothpaste.
Of course you do. It's the only one that works. It really is. And your teeth are sparkling white. Thank you. That's so nice. I feel so validated.

Chapter 2: What happened with Christina's DIY Halloween costume?
He is an oral surgeon. He pulls teeth. Perio, I think, is about gums. He still works. He's 84 years old. Wow. And he works on a semi-retired schedule. He's just finishing up his afternoon nap. Oh, what a stud. This is great.
Okay, hit us with your DIY story that went awry.
Okay, so this is a landscaping DIY disaster. A few things about my dad that you need to know is that he is a genius. But this is usually what gets him in trouble. He knows how to do things. He knows how to figure them out if he doesn't. He is big on self-sufficiency. His parents were World War II age vets.
Another thing about his brilliance is he skipped out on the last year of college when he took his entrance exam into dental school because his scores were so high that they admitted him. Wow. Immediately. My dad has only ever paid for landscaping once in his life, and that was in the last 10 years. At 85, he still maintains five acres of land, and my mom, who's 80, mows the lawn.
He will spend a dollar to save a penny. He's that kind of a person. And the same goes for his time. He will work an idea 100 times over. He's very persistent. He does not give up. Also, the last thing you need to know about our family is Saturday Chorday was an all-day thing. If you stayed the night at somebody's house, you had to be back in time for chores.
If somebody stayed the night at your house, they either needed to leave or help out. There are eight kids in our family.
This is all screaming Mormon, the industriousness, the eight kids.
Yes. Okay. We are Mormon.
We're in Utah right now.
