And then my mom works for the EPA.

So more like the regs for making sure that companies that accidentally polluted various groundwater or things that affect people, they have to pay and fix their problems.

Nothing to do with physics, but my dad did have an electrical engineering like undergrad degree.

And so definitely growing up, like we were the ones doing repairs in our house.

We didn't really hire contractors except for maybe some things that had to be welded.

So that was interesting too.

They weren't at the time.

My dad got a license much.

I mean, he got a license at some point pretty soon after.

But maybe he had a relative back in the day that had flown or whatnot.

And I like Harry Potter was cool at the time.

And I think I wanted like a flying broomstick.

So like they definitely convinced me like Santa Claus was real.

It was really funny.

I think they used these extrinsic motivation things to get me to be a good kid or whatnot.

So I was convinced Santa Claus was real because the presents were awesome.

But I guess I got a little greedy and I wanted a flying broomstick because Harry Potter was cool and then there were flight lessons.

Wow, that's cool.

And it's funny because it's a bougie-style hobby, but it's very much more like they would just do anything for their one kid, if that makes sense.

It's like, yeah.
