He was, he did it.

He's a kid who made a poster.

And I have to say as a mom, I was so happy to just like, let it walk out the door medium.

I think that there was a version of me as a parent who,

with my first born that would have said, hold on, let me help you with it.

I much prefer this version where I'm like, well, there you go.

That's what it is.

But we've talked a lot about being medium and shooting for medium, but I wanna give space for the kids who wanna thrive and wanna spend hours and hours on a poster.

who want to be a professional athlete and they go for it.

But for the rest of us, can we make a medium Macember?

Like, are there things that we can truly give up?

For example, we've talked about having a medium sports league because the rec league, great.

But our son has played basketball there.

There's a lot of kids that are new.

So they get hurt because they don't really know how to foul somebody, whatever.

But if you're medium, you know how to play.

You just don't want to play every single weekend in a tournament that travels, right?

But the issue is to make a sports team in most schools across the country, you have to be so specialized.

And take it to academics.

If you are not pushing it to a thousand and having tutors, whatever, if you're getting, if you're not getting like, there's this narrative of like an A, all A's, you're not going to get into a college.
