This is an I-Heart podcast.

I want it to be true, but it's not.

It's one more thing.

Armstrong and Getty.

One more thing.

So I got a couple of examples here of growing up and responsibilities as a youth that are at cross purposes.

So I don't know what I think about this here.

So I'm interested in your all's experience.

So my 13-year-old right now is really big on cooking himself breakfast in the morning.

Something he kind of picked up in Boy Scouts from doing it at can't.

But he's been frying himself up eggs and bacon for breakfast every morning. And he did it the first time yesterday. And I asked him how he went. And he said, well, I overcook the bacon a little bit and there was an eggshell in my eggs. I said, first time, I said, that's the way it turns out for everybody. I said, so that'll be fine. It's head the right direction.

But the idea being in theory, and this is all in theory, as I will point out, that,

you know, you learn to do stuff for yourself and that will blah, blah, blah, blah, something when you're older, blah, blah, blah, blah.

And I think often about how, like, I had never

done any laundry in my life until I left my home as an 18-year-old. My mom did all my laundry,

all our laundry as a mom, my whole life. And, and, and, uh, and cooking too. I never cooked anything or did any laundry and the

the story I hear from people is you they won't know how to take care of themselves I

figured out how to do laundry in like five minutes when I got to college and I was fine

so I'm not sure I mean other than it would have helped my mom that not have to do it

I'm not sure it hurt me any in any way that I didn't do it.

Really, other than that first time or two, like the cooking eggs thing, you're exactly right.

Yeah, I remember that.
