Uh I don't know if there are many writers in the audience, but you do sometimes have this amnesia about what you wrote and you come back to it and you're like, Oh wow, I wrote that.

Uh or I I didn't realize I included that.

And that is that number one, our kids are listening.

Number two, our kids are watching.

And number three

that even as our kids individuate, even as our adolescents pull away from us, they are still listening and

The key is going to be finding ways to talk to them that allows them to relate and makes them want to be a part of the conversation.

And then the fun part, that's fun.

Like there's a whole chapter in this book about the fact that we get precious little of our kids' attention and time.

And so I was trying to find ways to get it back.

And so

One of the ways I did that was by creating a dinner that was around this this game, this this interview show called Hot Ones, which is about a guy, Sean uh Evans, who interviews people while they eat hot wings.

And we love that show.

We've seen almost every episode of that show.

And so I created an entire dinner.

It was a secret, where I ordered all of the hot wings sauces from a particular season and I went and got unseasoned hot wings and some vegan wings and made all the wings and laid them out on a um on a tray.

And my husband and I came up with as Sean Evans does, a question for each wing.

And the questions were not um overly invasive.

It was I we didn't wanna like, you know, rip their guts out with the questions, but we wanted to just know about how their brains worked and what they were thinking about and um

So it was one of it's going to be, I think, one of my favorite memories from our lives together.
