But it was good.

I enjoyed it.

I enjoyed seeing the kids getting presents, watching them kind of run around the house.

And that's how it was when I was a kid.

Yeah, it was a it was a great moment.

Yeah, it's kind of a reminder of how long I've been away.

I've seen kids that weren't even born when I was out.

Almost everybody except for my nephew, Junior, all the rest were born while I was incarcerated.

And kind of seeing them and getting to know them, it's been a little strange and awkward at times because, like I said, they're already grown up.

They've already formed their personalities.

And I'm coming into their lives pretty late.

And so to try to bond with them all and try to, you know, get to know them at a better level, it's kind of challenging at times because some of them are teenagers.

So they've already formed their little thought processes on life, you know, and some of them have this mentality where.

You know, when you're a teenager, you think kind of, you know, you know everything.

Of course.

Yeah.

So to try to bond with them in that kind of way.

I do, you know, because I joke a lot and I play a lot.

And so but yeah, it's a it's a little awkward at times.

Not anymore.
