Well, it's definitely softened me to the point where I feel like I often have looked for moments, or like with my job, it's like sharing stories to help people learn things and feel moved.

We had a situation yesterday at the Resilience Project out here where a staff member got up and read a letter that she'd written when she was 17.

It was extraordinary.

She lost her dad when she was seven and she read it out to all of us and it was very emotional and

And I was meant to, I had to summarize what had just happened in front of everyone.

And I found it very hard to do it because I was thinking about my kids and how that would go.

And if I was only him, I was in tears.

And I thought, I might share that story with my child just after I pick him up from basketball because I just want him to know how much I love him.

That was kind of the...

And so I thought I told the story really well and I was just – and that my child was sitting there after basketball definitely listening and I said – and I couldn't speak because I was trying not to cry and I was thinking it's a good chance to explain emotions and I said – I was just thinking about how much I love you guys and I couldn't – and I just couldn't speak.

I was going to cry.

And then my child didn't say anything and I said, so what do you think about that?

And my child said –

Do you think next time we get a Slopey, there'll be any raspberry left in the machine?

Oh.

And then I just thought, oh, God, this is so funny.

But I feel like a few years ago, I would have been like, mate, I've just tried really hard to make it.

And I just thought I had that thing you get in school when you can't laugh because I didn't want to laugh what they just said.

But I was like, this is so funny.

And so the whole way home I was trying so not to laugh at just my child in that story going, the next time I get a Slurpee, I wonder if they'll run out of raspberry like they did last time because that would be a shame.
