If this is your first episode of the Upside Welcome, if you've been here before, welcome back.

Today is Wednesday, September 6.

My name is Jeff Dollar.

Today I'm grateful that your parents stopped by to see Ellie because we were able to duck

upstairs and record our episode earlier than usual.

My parents live like 15 minutes away from us, which is great and they've been out of town

for a week.

And you know, we're just all honest about this.

I probably would have not seen them for at least another week after they got back if

Ellie was not around.

I mean, they want their grandchild and of course come bearing gifts.

And Jeff jokingly said, what did you get for us and my dad literally laughed?

Yeah.

Ellie, let me have a bite of the Paddington Bear chocolates.

Oh, no, it was a hedgehog chocolates.

Yeah.

That she had.

But that was it.

She'll probably let me read her Paddington Bear book.

But that's it.

Yeah, she will.

And by the way, I don't think Ellie's even going to notice that we left the room.
