sitting there, you know, hypothetically in the bathroom with us while we're brushing our teeth and their medication sitting on the counter and a kid is just starting to learn how to read.
And you ask them to read, uh, you know, can you find any of the letters in mommy's name or in your name?
Let's say the medication is for the kid.
And that's an amazing opportunity to say, you know.
The reason your name is on this medication is 'cause you're only supposed to we only take medications that are that are prescribed for us.

And there's a section in the book about how much media our kid how much advertising our kids get around substances and how much not just advertising, but um, you know, use in films and television shows, in cartoons, even there's a ton of
Referen every time you see, and it's not as much anymore, obviously.
We've but if you look at the cartoons we used as kids.
