Julie Bowen joked this week that she is in an informational and emotional « desert » when it comes to communicating with her teenage boys. « I won’t let them look at their phones in the car, but basically I’m in the desert right now, » the « Modern Family » actress said about trying to get Oliver, 17, and 15-year-old twins John and Gustave to confide in her. « It’s like I got dumped by three guys I was madly in love with, and I’m like, ‘Hey, I’m right in the kitchen,’ and they never show up. It’s as desperate as I ever felt in high school when you had a crush on a boy. »She joked, primping her hair, « Like, ‘Hi, it’s me, mom. I birthed you.’ They don’t care. »SOFIA VERGARA’S ‘MODERN FAMILY’ CO-STAR JULIE BOWEN COMMENTS ON HER SPLIT FROM JOE MANGANIELLOThe 54-year-old actress shares her sons with ex Scott Phillips. Because she said her sons won’t talk to her about girls or any other personal issues, she said she has « a lot of purposefully scattered-about-the-house books that are informational about sex, drugs, what to avoid, how to not get people pregnant and not get diseases, and I’m just constantly talking about things like that. » She said while she has a « no phones in the car, » rule, « they’re allowed to listen to whatever music they want, but that, in and of itself, you’re just like ‘My eyes are bleeding.’ » CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERShe admitted her sons do « get excited about new stuff » like her upcoming movie « Happy Gilmore 2 » and her new series, « Hysteria! »Bowen said her sons don’t usually watch anything she does, but « they love Adam Sandler. » And despite not seeing the first « Happy Gilmore, » which she starred in, they plan on catching the sequel. She also joked about her kids’ lingo at the end of the interview, saying she promised them she would « never say « ‘Skibidi!’ Good comms, solid comms, kids, » she said to the camera. JULIE BOWEN SAYS DESPITE IDENTIFYING AS ‘STRAIGHT,’ SHE WAS ONCE IN LOVE WITH A WOMANSkibidi is a « word usually used to start a convo, specifically a convo filled with brain rot, » according to the Urban Dictionary. « They said to me I was ‘mad rizzy’ with a waiter once, and I was like, ‘You mean like cha-ris-ma?’ And they were like, ‘What??’ I said, ‘Where do you think that word comes from? You didn’t make up rizzy.’ » Bowen also said communications have been even more difficult since she’s been shooting on the other side of the country.
