And so I think those are the best people to keep you honest. And I don't think it has to be your friends from when you were 10. I think it could be your friends from when you were eight.

Well, no, I was going to say that that is more common than I would have believed. There was a, there's a making caring common study where you ask parents what they want most for their kids. And most parents say, I want my kid to be happy and kind. Then you ask their children, what do your parents want for you?

Like how many dinner table conversations are, what grade did you get on the test? How many goals did you score in the game? And when you do that, you send an implicit message that what matters above all else is what your kids accomplish.
