My middle son is named Carlos.
And Carlos is a character.
You know, Carlos, you know, he was a sniper in the Marine Corps.
But when he was a little kid, he was like junior version of the sniper in the Marine Corps.
He was tremendous.
Like,
And I used to pick him up from a nursery school.
And he'd been having a great time.
You'd see him just like goofing off.
You know how you watch your kids from afar?
And as soon as he would see me, he would burst into tears and come running over to me and tell me all the horrors that had happened to him that day.
And I'd be like, what gives?
What gives?
Why is it that everybody else gets all the nice times and I get all the crummy times?
The reason is because he trusts me.
They trust me.
He trusts me.
Couples trust each other.
And so they only bring home their garbage.
They don't have the garbage.
