I'm friends with an owner out here of a gym, so we go and play a lot, and they've done like little tiny classes, and no one has an interest.
I will say, asterisk, my daughter just asked last night to go back to gymnastics, which I was like, why?
Yeah.
Yeah.
She's understanding a lot more and her friends are talking about it more and she's fallen in love with the monkey bars.
Like monkey bars are her favorite thing in the whole entire world and rock climbing.
And so I think she, I don't know, but gymnastics terrifies me for any of my children to do because I don't think they will ever be given a fair chance in gymnastics.
People would just expect them to be good.
And that's not fair for a kid.
Oh, I don't know what to do with it.
I was raised in Des Moines, Iowa, as blue-collar as you could possibly imagine.
My parents sacrificed everything in their life to make it seem like we weren't struggling in any way.
They did everything.
They had multiple jobs, multiple mortgages.
They did so much.
And I just â the stark contrast of lifestyles is comical and I don't know what to do with it with my children.
Oh, I agree.
I mean, I read books.
We do all these things trying to like figure it out.
But I have no idea how they're going to turn out.
