It's that time.

Time. Time. Time. Time.

Lock and load.

The Michael Vary Show is on the air.

Let's talk about theory. Let's talk about the rules of economics.

You know, my kids a few weeks ago had a, you know, back to school.

If you have kids in school, the schools often will do a come meet the teacher night.

And my kids get so creeped out.

Because I talk about it ahead. I go ahead and meet the teacher, meet the teacher.

And then that night afterwards, when mom and I come back, because we have two kids in two different grades,

we have to, we have to divide and conquer.

And then we sit down as a family and we go over, all right, tell me about Ms. Jones, tell me about Smith.

Let me give you my impressions of her or him.

And the kids, as usual, they go, Dad, this is weird.

Why are you so excited that you've been in school?

Because learning things is exciting to me.

Always be curious. Always be learning.

Do you realize what a great, awesome opportunity it is that you get to get up every morning

and go learn things? That's not a burden.

It's an opportunity. It's wonderful.

And as long as you see it that way, school is fun and exciting and a privilege.

So many kids don't get to go to school.
