Tonight, I want you just to talk about birthdays.

What did birthday parties look like for you and your partner when you were kids?

Can you give me that?

Can we practice?

What did they look like to you?

So my point is that may be something that happens with your child's first birthday because that happened to me.

Back to you and I bonded over sort of similar or similar seeming childhoods.

when I was helping my mother pay her rent checks starting at seven, I also, there was a New York magazine.

We would get a subscription in the back or personal ads.

And there were things like birthdays and a gardener, whatever it was.

And I would always pick like the clown and like literally pick up the phone and be like, hi clown.

Can you come to my birthday party this Saturday?

So I was always planning my own parties.

And so birthdays mean a lot to me.

And as I said to you, there are blowout parties and,

I never got to tell Seth that with Zach because I just started to throw these like circus-themed giant parties.
