Because, like, you have to—obviously, part of your job is to, like, teach them what does and doesn't matter and what to care about. But the other day, just two days ago, our son came into the kitchen, and he was playing out on this little deck that we have. It's a wooden deck. And he says, Pop, I need a Band-Aid. I got a boo-boo. And I'm like, oh, show me.

And he, like, lifts up at his foot, and it's clear that what he's actually got is a splinter. Yeah. And he has, like, some idea of what a splinter is, but not really. And then Chasten and I start... Chasten kind of was more on the ball than I was, as usual, and, like, starts preparing, like, a thing of warm water to soak his foot in to try to help work it out.

And then that doesn't exactly, like, do anything right away. And plus, it starts hurting. And by the time we got to the tweezers, it was, like... It was like a Civil War amputation.

I was such a baby about it. Yeah, you're deep in there. It sounds comical now, but to him, it might as well be.

He doesn't know. It's terrifying for him. And I'm trying to hold him because he's also a moving target and Chast has got the tweezers. And then we're both starting to feel this guilt about, is one of his foundational memories going to be... Plus like holding him while he's like shrieking in pain and afraid. And then as the splinter comes out and Chaz is like, I got it. It's out.

He's like weeping, shrieking. He goes, thank you. And there's just these moments you just can't script, like you can't see them coming. And every day it's like some new challenge. Our daughter loves asking me now about my work, which is actually a really healthy way to be forced to explain what I do all day. So this started happening when I was secretary. Like, I put her down at bedtime.

There's a whole bedtime ritual. This is coming your way. How old is your daughter? 14 months. Okay. So you're getting there. Talk about, like, the Administrative Procedures Act was one thing when I was trying to build a bridge. But, like, just to, like, extract myself from the room, it's like, did you tell the neighbors to be quiet? Yes. Yes, Penelope, I told the neighbors to be quiet.

And then Gus is like, are you going to scare away the dinos? I was like, yes. If any dinos come here, I'm going to scare them away. And there's this whole, like, ritual checklist you've got to go through, right? Yeah. but as part of, she's like, tell me your work.
