For this year’s “Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day” (April 26), I’m joined by my 11-year-old daughter, Fiona, for a trip to Grecian Kitchen (3938 Dempster Street in Skokie). My 16-year-old son, Noah, opted out of this year’s podcast, which left Fiona “disappointed.”
Discussed on this week’s show, sponsored by BOOST MOBILE:
- Noah’s opting out of participating
- The benefits of being a middle schooler
- 6th grade volleyball vs. 6th grade basketball
- An upcoming school trip to the White Pines dude ranch
- Our Bernese Mountain Dog, Shazam
- A recent trip to Trader Joe’s, and how Fiona’s prediction came true
- How would Fiona describe me, honest and unfiltered?
- Apparently, “dad jokes” aren’t as funny to non-dads
- What kind of music does Fiona listen to? The answers made me feel super old and out of touch
- Fiona’s rocking the saxophone
- Fiona’s current relationship with older brother Noah (“Do you need to hug more?”)
- What’s Fiona’s earliest memory?
- Fiona plugs Shazam’s Instagram account, which includes many pictures she’s taken of the family dog
- The joy of Froyo
- What Noah and Chris Kattan from SNL have in common
