And was that easy? No, they were mad at me. I was mad at them. They're still mad at me about that. Apparently I call them numb nuts. They were fighting in the back and I said, were you numb nuts? Shut up. They were mad and I finally said, okay, your mom wouldn't have done that, right? And she said, no. I said, what would she have done?

And they said, she would have figured out how to stop fighting. I said, well, that's not going to happen with me because your fights are so boring. I don't know. I'm sorry. I just find it boring. I was a little too honest with my kids.

Was that a common thing? Being too honest? Yeah.

Yeah. Sophia one time came in and she was despondent. She said, I have so much homework. I have all this homework. I can't get it done. And when I get it done, then there's another day. And I said, honey, get used to it. This is life. It's not going to get better. And she said, why would you say that to me? Why would you say that? So I thought, okay.

And I took her over and we took a long walk and we talked about life and we talked about this. And I said, listen, I'll write you a note. Go back, do an hour of homework and I'll write and say, you got sick. I'll get you out of school or I'll write you an excuse. She said, thank you. Thank you. She went into her room for 30 minutes. She came out and she said, it's done. I said, no, do it all.

She said, I did it all. Do you think it was just reframing it for her? I think she lost her shit and she had 30 minutes worth of homework to do. And she described it as four hours and treadmill. And I, I was smart enough to not to say anything, but. You strike me as a guy that's probably too honest fairly often.

Yeah. I'm. I'm blunt. Do you think that had an effect on the amount of friends you have?

Yeah. I'm. I'm blunt. Do you think that had an effect on the amount of friends you have?

I'm sure I've said things that cost me a friendship. They just drift away.

What do you think people say about you? What do you think people that don't like you say about you?
