My dad has always said that on his gravestone, he wants it to read, here lies a nice guy.

And he's like, if you can get through life and that's how you're remembered, he goes, you've done it right.

You know, I've had a pretty bad run with losing friends.

I've been to more funerals than I care to admit.

Which means if 24 hours after that a moment happens where I can find a smile again, I give myself permission to smile.

You know, laughter's the best medicine.

And, you know, when Dad was in intensive care, we were using humour then.

And we were like, I think we can get him through this, yeah?

It's not that your kid ain't normal.

My kid's extraordinary.

He's autistic, he's ADHD, and he's just been diagnosed with Tourette's.

And as he said to me, I've got the premium package, Dad.

My dad would be thrilled to hear that.

You've just got me.

I can give up entertainment now.

on his gravestone, he wants it to read, here lies a nice guy.

Or a great bloke.

That was the other one too, or a great bloke.

And he's like, if you can get through life and that's how you're remembered, he goes, you've done it right.

What about money and things?
