Brie Garcia details pool incident with her son Buddy (11:03-13:37)
Brie Garcia: So, Sunday, I still had my really great blowout. It looked super good, so we go to the pool and you know, there’s people at the pool. We go to this like club place, so there’s like people at the pool, whatever. It’s Sunday, fun day. We’re all there and my kids, so Birdie’s actually really great at swimming now. It’s like really crazy to see her do laps, Buddy’s like good in the shallow end, but he freaks out when he gets to the deep end, but he knows how to do it, but we’re not there yet, so I watch them like hawks and I told the kids, literally before we left at the house, I’m like, “Mommy’s not going to wear her swimsuit. I just, you know, I just don’t feel like swimming really.” Really, I didn’t want to ruin my blowout. I’m like, “This blowout can go for a couple more days.”
Nikki Garcia: When you get the blowout or the nice waves.
Brie Garcia: Do you know what I mean? And so, go to the pool, you guys, and literally sitting there watching and this older kid throws something in the deep end and goes to Buddy and says, “Fetch,” and what does Buddy do? Sprint and jumps in to the deep end, and then literally, and I watch the whole thing, but I’m like, “Is he going to swim? Did he get the confidence to swim or something?” And then Birdie’s like, “He’s drowning.” So dramatic. So, I sprint and jump into the deep end.
Nikki Garcia: Blowout and all.
Brie Garcia: I mean clothes, everything. Good thing I was barefooted, you know.
Nikki Garcia: I wish you weren’t.
Brie Garcia: I know. I was in literally a middle of a conversation with five adults. Five, and I was talking and I just sprint, and then yeah, and so and I grab him and we come up and Buddy’s wearing Birdie’s goggles, so they’re these like humongous pink glittery sparkly goggles and he’s like, you know, like so upset, which he should be and I’m like, “Oh my gosh,” and everyone is dead silent, just staring, and then like, you know, walking in and Buddy’s looking like he’s upset. I mean, you know, Nicole, and I just was like, “Damn, you know, that is what I deserve.” If I had my swimsuit on and I said I would get in with everyone, I would have never been bothered, but the fact that I had my normal clothes on because I didn’t want to ruin a blowout, man, but Bryan’s like, “At least you watch the kids like a hawk,” and you know, but I also go, “Buddy, just because someone tells you to fetch, doesn’t mean you go.”
Nikki Garcia: Right, because I get so scared now of what they call dry drowning. You know what I mean?
Brie Garcia: Yeah. Well, good thing I was on it.
