Let me tell you, dude. I bought a car for $1,000 when I was in high school. And I put $100 down. And I thought my dad covered the other $900. He thought I paid it. And that $900, dude, drove a wedge between us. I mean, it had a ripple effect that was way beyond $900. Wow. Because I thought he and he thought I, and then it became this embarrassment.

And then, I mean, it just became a thing on thing on thing. The guy then who sold me the car was a great man who passed away. The whole thing got sideways. It was over $900. And this is way beyond that. And it worked out for you and your dad. And George and I would not have a job if every one of these things worked out. And so I can't in good conscience tell you to become a bank for your son.

I want you to take him out to breakfast this Saturday, and I want you to say, hey, here's the reality of flight school. It's $80,000. My dad and I had an agreement that I borrowed $25,000 from him, and he covered the rest of it. I don't want to be your bank. I always want to be your dad. But you have to have some skin in the game.
