Welcome to the follow-up.

talk about with my girls a lot is this idea of teamwork makes the dream work. And it's funny because

yesterday, so with our eight-year-old, she's sort of navigating friendship relationships

outside of school. And so she gave her friends my wife and I's phone number. So we're on the
