And by the way, no, I'm not bringing you your iPad.

You're going to actually sit there and you're going to play a little game in the grass that you make up because you're bored.

You only make up games in the grass because you have nothing better to do.

Or you're going to actually learn to watch

fairly unexciting soccer game of six-year-olds because that's actually what you need to do to be a good person.

I say that.

And you know why you're going to come with me grocery shopping today instead of staying at home?

Because the family needs groceries.

And it's not because I'm getting you some special treat.

It's just because that's what it means to be a member of this family.

And going back to why we do this for long-term, that's what it means to be a member of society.

You have to do things that aren't just about you.

So yes, I don't think it's about just inserting frustration.

And some of this also, I just want to say, does have to do with wealth because wealth, especially in this world, can buy your way out of frustration, right?

And it might mean, yes, I say to parents, take the subway.

You can afford an Uber, take the subway.

You know why?

Because on the subway, you have to do something

called waiting.

I say this to my kids, I'm going to teach you how to wait.
