It was great.

And guess what?

You know, the customers loved hearing from me because I was this child calling, Hi, this is Fannie's daughter, and I'm just letting you know today's number is 697.

And they'd say, Oh, thank you, baby.

Oh, I vividly remember customers coming over all the time.

All the time.

One of my favorites of her customers was a woman who had been a lady of the evening in her youth.

And she had an extraordinary wardrobe of clothes from that life.

And she liked to talk to me about fashion.

And she knew fashion.

She knew real fashion.

She knew designers, et cetera.

So I really learned all these things from my mom's customers that went above and beyond just seeing them, you know, engaged in transactions.

Yes.

So much of the reason that people like to come over and turn their numbers in directly is they wanted the social piece of it.

You know, they wanted to be in conversation about the numbers.

It really generated a kind of sort of like communal experience.

So customers are like, what are you feeling is a good number?

And I was thinking about this and, oh, I dreamed.

I actually dreamed about fish.
