So I used to leave my mom's house at 9 a.m. on a Saturday morning with an Abba Zabba bar, a Schwinn bike, and 35 cents, and she wouldn't see me for 14 hours. My kid is 15 minutes late home from school. We call fucking MI6, and we freak out. And here's the problem. We use so many sanitary wipes on our kids' lives, they don't develop their own immunities.

We engage in bulldozer and concierge parenting. We clear out all the obstacles for them. And this is what happens, and I know this firsthand, at NYU. They get to NYU, they get their first D, they get their heart broken, and they freak out. And I'm guilty of this, but what I'm trying to do, and I'll use a personal example, and I love personal examples that make me seem like the good guy.

But my kid, I'm just absent-minded. I'm terrible. I'm alone with my son, his 14-year-old. Of course, they love malls. He's going to a party at the Westfield Mall. I get him an Uber.

He's freaked out.

And finally, I get them both on the phone, and I say, Nolan? Figure it the fuck out. You have a smartphone, you have Google Maps, you have an Oyster card, you have an Uber app, figure it out. I don't even know why I ordered an Uber for you. I don't know why I am figuring out at the age of 14. Nobody told me where to go or got me Google Maps or an Uber when I was 14. And you know what?
