Out walking the dog, looked in the little pond near our house. Mother duck with her nine ducklings. I mean, she turns left. They'll turn left. They'll turn right there. They're in a little group, but there's just like, they're just a split second behind her. She cannot shake them, even if she wanted to. She doesn't to right I'm sure but my goodness I was thinking

that's gotta be so exhausting like could you guys just take it out everyone just rest for a second

it was easier when you guys were eggs I want you to know that but I was thinking about that

then I was thinking as tiring as it probably is for her you know what she's made for this

she's made for it she probably does get made for this. She's made for it.

She probably does get tired of it, but she's made for it and she has the skills she needs.

She's given everything she needs to do this job. And then I was thinking about human moms.

And maybe you're a human mom listening to this. I bet it's tiring. I bet it's tiring. But I also know

you're made for this.

Like you've got these charges maybe right behind you all the time.

And boy, is that draining?

But you've got what it takes to do this job.

And as tiring as it is, you're going to rise to the occasion of taking care of these little ones.

Okay, just a heads up. You're going to need to brace yourself. Okay.

May you just sit down.

That's what I was thinking. Like, because I'm going to shock you with some information.

For the point that I can't stand.

Well, I mean, some people get lightheaded if they're like, whoa, I didn't know that.

See, you're going to sit down first. If you're sitting down, that's cool. Okay, thanks for the heads up.

Because I'm a shock jock.
