you know what i mean so maybe that and i learned that uh well i learned that i'm a happier person than i thought and really covert was when i really learned that because because we were all like trapped in our choices yes and i remember one point just being in the house like this is not that bad like i i like these people everyone's comfortable and safe and
and I could walk around town and we'd all be going through COVID together and I recognized everybody.
And then all those choices that I made, like moving to Ohio and stuff that people laughed at me about, now I felt vindicated about each and every one of them because the world shut down and just for a minute, I'm absolutely right.

What y'all laughing at?

Renee.

Yeah, I don't know.
It is humbling having kids...

Yeah, it is.
