No. Zero?

Let me think if that's the honest answer. No, I wondered about it, but not, I wondered about it. I wondered about it, but not in like a deep yearning way. Just in a curious way. Yeah. Like what would this have been like? And I guess that would have been kind of interesting, but I didn't, I don't know. Like, yeah, it wasn't, It didn't then lead me to a sense of regret and, oh, let's make a baby.

Right.

Right.

Right.

I just really hadn't thought about what the day-to-day experience is of living with a kid and just how nice it is. And, like, what is fulfilling about it and what you get back from it. I hadn't thought about what you get back from it. All I thought about is, like, what you throw into it. And what do you get back from it? Like, you, not one. I mean, part, I just really, like, love this kid.

And, um... I mean, everything I'm going to say is so corny, just like seeing him grow, seeing him learn new things, teaching him little stuff that then he can do. Um, just being just, I mean, it's funny, like I just remember the first time we were sitting on the couch and he just leaned himself against me to watch something. And it just was really.

meaningful that there's like this person who like trusted me and was leaning on me and, um, and wanted to be close to me in that way. Like, yeah, like it. I mean, like this is like a really terrible, not analogous thing, but it reminds me of when I first had a dog. Like I had never had dogs. My ex-wife really loved dogs and always had a dog. And so we got a dog.

And really for the first few years, I really just saw the dog as a job. And like I would spend an hour a day easily like walking the dog, dealing with the dog, whatever. Walking the dog, for sure. And playing with the dog. And it really took me years before I understood the concept of like, oh, you're supposed to get something back from this. Like, it really didn't occur to me.

I just really thought, like, because the dog would be affectionate with me, but I just thought, like, well, of course you're affectionate with me. Like, you don't know anybody in New York except me and her. Like, you know what I mean? Like, you don't know anybody. Like, I'm one of two people you know. Yeah, you have to be nice to me. But with this little boy, just very early on, it just got to me.
