I was actually just thinking about this recently because I have a nine-year-old and I have a five-year-old. And the five-year-old just graduated pre-K and In pre-K, the teacher can't wipe a kid's butt. Kid's got to go wipe his own butt, which means that the kid's got to start doing some wiping. It's probably not very good, but it's a half-assed effort at it.

And so I know that Colin, I know that Colin, I know that you know that, Nicole, but for everyone else, Colin's- I have two kids, Fen and Colin. I know that Colin is developing some skills at wiping his own ass, but I am still wiping his ass at home, and Fen has long since taken care of his own ass. But I was wiping Colin's ass this morning, and I was thinking to myself, will I know...

the last time that I have to do this? And can I capture it? Can I film myself right afterwards running out into the street and being like, I have wiped the last ass, which would make me so happy. I don't know. But that's the thing about parenting is you never really know when you're in or out of something. It's all just a big mush.

But yeah, I'm excited to have this conversation with you today, Nicole, because this has shown up in many of our conversations.
