Welcome back to what I have you. I'm Rachel Jankovic. I'm back at Merkel. Guys, it's just, it's hot, it's dusty, and it's the time of year when the grasshoppers are eating everything, and it feels like that in more than one way.

That's true. That's true. That's a point. The grasshoppers are coming, the grasshoppers are coming.

You're like, it's that time where you're not getting did what you hoped, that you're not bringing in the sheaves that you planned.

Whatever they were sheaves of organization or successfulness. I'm not bringing in the sheaves right now. Oh man, also we should just say any background noises.

Just ignore Ezra. Ezra has joined us today for actually doing a full on Hufflepuff right now.

May or may not contribute heavily to this episode. Hi, honey. Maybe we could get a good burp on the record. Wow, that would be great.

So I have something to say. Okay. Unless we need to do our obligatory, let's chat for a minute about how long it's been. Just jump right in. Just jump right in.

Yeah. So it's just a random thought I was having. And yes, another country. Success. It's another, it's just a thought I was having.

And it is one of those ones that is like so obvious and so not profound in a way. But I also think it's in another way.

It might be very difficult to see and makes a world of different. Sure. So Becca saying this is either a throwaway comment or it's going to change your life.

We're not. Yeah. I'm not actually sure what that's kind of what I'm saying because it's basically guys and just just as a courtesy to us.

If you find it to the throwaway comment, just assume it's changing everyone else's life. Exactly. That's what we need is to have that VR or go to assumption.

I don't even know what we're talking about. No, okay. So it's I was thinking about this with child rearing. Okay. And discipline and just how you bring up your kids.

And this might be sort of like, oh my word, I saw a meme today. And it was just a picture of like a restaurant that had a little sign tacked up that said something like the patio is not open because it is closed.

And it said if Kamala Harris was a sign. So anyway, it might be that level of observation that I'm about to make is the patio is not open because it is closed.

But I think it's a big mistake that lots of Christian parents make. And here is what I'm what I mean.

I feel like at this point because become a full on clickbait. This is a clickbait. Turn the page to hear the next few seconds of qualifications.

And you also still want your life to be changed. If you want to harass me some more, I'm going to draw this out even further.

Okay. So this is but say you can't start texting people. No, I'm not. That's going to make my observations worse. Go for it. I'm actually texting a child to come pick the baby up and take him back inside.

So you were just not supposed to draw attention to that. That's true. I should I should have left that tactfully unsaid.

Yeah. And here's what I think lots of parents do is like let's say you have a kid who's misbehaving in some way like picture sort of not not a baby or a toddler, but maybe, but like just an older kid like, you know, a child that is doing something wrong.

They're being disrespectful or sassy or they're throwing a little tantrum because they're not getting their way about something.
