Hi, Jess. Hi, T.J. I'm not one to enjoy family vacations. I know that's offensive to you, but just hear me out.

It is offensive. I've said for years that when you have kids, it's not really a vacation. It's a rearrangement of responsibility.

If you don't have kids, I'll explain. If you do have kids, you know exactly what I mean. But if you don't have kids, I'll explain. So you know how you have vacation now and it feels relaxing? That ends.

Unless, of course, you find a place to put the children, then you can get some version of relaxation

that you had before. Not that it'll be fully relaxing, but at least there's

some hint of what it used to be like. You're looking at me like you expect me to say something.

You're looking at me like you're about to say something or that you're frustrated. Because you're

wrong. You're thinking in terms that are too black and white. Yes, of course, your life is totally

different when you have kids, but you find

moments that are more relaxing than others. And I would say going to the beach where all of your

kids are occupied with just digging in the sand and you can hear the ocean and can feel the

salty sea breeze and those negative ions are working

in your brain creating this wonderful chemistry giving you a mood boost you know that's that's for real

like you go to the ocean you actually feel better chemically in your brain you brought negative ions

no you're you're trying to confuse anyone who can hear this by jumbling a lot of words together

and just ask you a question you brought two books with you on this confuse anyone who can hear this by jumbling a lot of words together.

And let me just ask you a question.

Jumbling words. You brought two books with you on this so-called vacation.

We just went on.

I heard you like snort when you saw one that I was bringing to the beach.

How many pages did you get through with our kids who were so peacefully playing?

I mean, I don't know, like half a page or something.
