And my older kids, my son's a great artist, and there's a lot of electrical towers. And you go, oh, I know that's because he was in the back of the car looking out the window. We stayed in motels.

I make it as uncomfortable— As I can, we don't, this, I have an absolute like fear of living in nothing but comfort. Sorry for them, but it's just how it is. Yeah.
