Questions this recording answers

9 questions, each answered where it is said
How did Paige manifest waking up at 7 a.m. instead of the middle of the night?

Annoyed at waking at 3 or 4 in the morning, she did what she called a science experiment: right before bed she said out loud, and a little in her head, 'Paige, you're waking up at 7 a.m.' It worked, with only a slight wake-up rather than a full one.

How does Hannah's niece Lois react to her morning outfits?

Lois expects Aunt Hannah to be glammed up, so seeing her in pyjamas she frowns and insists they change the outfit. She rejects dresses as ugly, including a $300 one, then styles a white dress with white thong sandals, a necklace and a white purse.

Why did Hannah have to change the ending of The Little Mermaid for Lois?

She read her mum's old Hans Christian Andersen book aloud. In the original, the prince marries another girl he thinks saved him, the mermaid's sister tells her to kill him, and she instead kills herself. Hannah changed it to living happily ever after without needing a man.

What advice did Hannah's dad give her about men?

Her dad told her 'don't let a man distract you', which she has carried her whole life. If a man is causing negativity or not pulling her in the direction she wants to go, she gets rid of him. She found it powerful to hear from her own dad.

How can a to-do list reveal whether a relationship is healthy?

Paige, always a list person, noticed that with a certain type of man she did nothing on her daily list. With the right person she still gets everything done without them as a thought. If someone does not care about messing up your plans, they do not care about you.

What is the sign a new relationship is not right?

They say you have to take self inventory because it is easy to get wrapped up in the first six months. If it is not blissful then, or there is any screaming match or breakdown fight in the first six months, it is not for you.

How do they say you can get a man to like you?

One host says it is easy to get a guy to like you: ask him three questions in a row about one thing he likes, such as the finals, then let him talk for about 30 minutes and say 'same'. He will say he has never met someone who understands him.

How did Hannah's mother describe postpartum depression?

When Hannah asked if she experienced postpartum, her mum said they did not call it that but 'the baby blues', and that everyone was a little sad after birth. Hannah found it insane that in 1992, after a traumatic birth, nobody asked her mum a follow-up question.

Answered around 39:48
What did they think of the Michael Jackson movie?

Paige thought the lead, whom she believes is related to Michael Jackson, was spectacular, with great acting and dancing. It made her ask her parents what it was like when Beat It dropped, but she dislikes it being split into a part two, as with Wicked.
