Just put 10 things together and it's in your head.

It's in your imagination.

So I love that about kids in general and my kids.

And I think, yeah, I think it's, you know, as much as we can, I reckon that's the antidote to kind of, you know, that's the antidote to screen time.

And letting them have the space and the time to just imagine things and draw and just, you know, tinker around in nature.

Good question.

My mum was incredibly – is incredibly –

loving and caring.

And so I think, I think in terms of the nurture and, and mum's mum was a, you know, a literature teacher, you know, loved, you know, I was like, you know, I was trying to teach a Shakespeare and stuff when we were in year six, which we weren't interested in, but I do look back and I go, mum, the cultured side of mum had a real impact too.

You know, she's, it's that funny thing of like, no six-year-old really cares about opera, but if it is,

if you're being shown these things, it has some kind of an impact on you.

Particularly later on.

Particularly later on.

You've got some, you say, mum had that side.

It wasn't really forced down her throat, but when I think back to it, I'm like, yeah, somehow I know Vivaldi's Four Seasons and I never learnt an instrument or played it, but that was the kind of stuff mum...

you know, had around.

So mum was, the intelligence side, I think mum was always very, very keen for us to sort of intellectually expand ourselves as much as we could, but was also extremely loving and kind.

And dad, in a funny way, in a funny way, this sounds a bit inaccurate.

I think I got my sense of humour from dad

But almost because I was trying to get a rise out of him because he was quite – he's not serious, but he was, you know, focused on what he had to do.
