I want to help.

I know what you're going to say, but I'm different.

Patrick's in Orlando.

Hey, Patrick, what's up?

Do it.

I like it.

Can I add one thing to it?

yeah okay i do want this to be a gift and i'll teach you a technical thing you need to do but aside from that i do want it to be a gift without strings sort of right but i i would sit down in person with them you and your wife go to dinner and make this a big deal this is not just a drive-by breakfast one morning coffee okay we're going to a nice restaurant

We're going to make a production out of this and say, this has nothing to do with the grandkid.

Although you've said it six times that it does, but it doesn't.

Okay?

It shouldn't.

It shouldn't.

Because you shouldn't give it to them because of the grandkid.

You should give it to them because they have been responsible.

and you're not bringing harm to them and you're not enabling bad behavior.

Instead, you're accentuating and lifting the positive thing that they have been doing with their life, and it's going to change your family tree the rest of the way.

So, yes, you should do it.

And I would say, I'm going to give this to you with no strings attached.

I will tell you I have a favor to ask, that you promise to never borrow money again.
