But, you know, like maybe stop, stop.

I've told my kids, wait till you're 25.

So you can, you know, do a collared shirt where if you ever, if you ever need to, we always used to say, if you ever need to meet the president of the United States, you can just cover it up.

You know, what was it last year?

Will Franklin walks in, big fat monarch, just across, you know, just his hand.

It's awesome.

I think for us, that was one of our early things, you know, for you and I. He lived by the motto in Scripture, do not let the sun go down on your anger.

He came from a home where they talked it all out.

That's true.

Yeah, he would – I'm like, babe, we're not going to figure this out tonight, and I have to work tomorrow.

I'm going to go to sleep.

I think, too, for us, we made so many missteps.

Number one, I was 19 when I got married.

Think about that.

I'm like, what were our parents thinking?

We just got married and didn't really know each other as well as we thought we did.

And so it was out of the gate.

It was like, oh, this is going to be a long life, and we need to at least begin to try to put some tools in the tool belt because, you know, the idea is that we're going to go the distance, but I don't know how we're going to.

Like it was really, really hard.
