1
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: It's the Happy Families podcast. It's the podcast for.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 2: The time poor parent who just wants answers.

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: Now. I walked into the house and I started directing

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: and directing everyone, you, the kids, the whole lot. And

5
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: within about fourteen seconds, everything had gone kind of hell like.

6
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: It was just horandous, wasn't it? And it was awful?

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 2: And now here's the stars of our show, my mum

8
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 2: and dad.

9
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: So Kylie. Lately, our figures show that we have a

10
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: lot of new listeners to the Happy Families podcast. Yay,

11
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 1: heaps of new listeners. So thank you very much everyone

12
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: who's listening whose brand knew. We're so grateful to have

13
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: you along. If you're willing, we would love for you

14
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: to jump onto whatever app you're listening on and leave

15
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: us a five star rating and review those ratings and

16
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: reviews help other people to find out about the podcast,

17
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: how to chat with the podcast people who sort of

18
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: look after all the back end for us, Kylie. The

19
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: other day they gave us some news. We have just

20
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: hit four million downloads for the year, four million downloads

21
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: for the year, and we're on track, if everything goes right,

22
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: for about five million by the end of the year. Wow,

23
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: five million downloads.

24
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 2: So to think when I came on a few years ago,

25
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: you were lucky to be getting eight hundred downloads.

26
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 1: Tomorrow, you claim it, baby, you just claim it five

27
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: million anyway. Now, the reason that I wanted to mention, well,

28
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: at least the fact that we've got a whole lot

29
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: of new listeners, is because every Friday, if you're new here,

30
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: what we do is it's almost like show and tell.

31
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: It's kind of like news. We call it I'll do

32
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: better tomorrow. And the idea behind our Friday podcast is

33
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: we pull back the curtain and show you what's happening

34
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: in our family, the winds and the losses, the nailed

35
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: it and the failed it, the stuff that worked on

36
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: the stuff that didn't. Because we think that as we're

37
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: intentional about what we're doing in our family, we can

38
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: help you to be more intentional in what's happening in yours. So, Kylie,

39
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: let's hear it from you. Did you kick a goal

40
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: this week? Or did the bottom drop out?

41
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: Now? I pulled it together this week.

42
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: Look at you go. After a couple of.

43
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: Wayward weeks with homeschooling and just feeling like we'd hit

44
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 2: rock bottom and I wasn't sure if we could keep

45
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 2: moving forward. I was reminded of the need for intention

46
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 2: and routine, and so I pulled those back out of

47
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 2: my little toolkit. So on Sunday, I sat down with

48
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 2: my diary and I started to look at what the

49
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: big rocks were for the week, what things needed to

50
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 2: go in. And I recognized that with my things, so

51
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: my exercise and stuff, I actually need to be a

52
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 2: little bit flexible because every day looks so different. But

53
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 2: I actually put into the schedule the times that looked

54
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: like they would work best, so I actually had a

55
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: bit of a blueprint to work with. And then I

56
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 2: mapped out the activities that I wanted to do with

57
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: the kids throughout the week. So I can tell you

58
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 2: now that pretty much every activity I put down, we

59
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 2: did not do. But because I had been intentional about

60
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: acknowledging that we needed to do something each day there

61
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: was rainy weather, there was windy weather, it changed the

62
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: dynamic of what we could and couldn't do, and so

63
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 2: I just had to think on my feet a bit more.

64
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 2: But because that intention was already set, it made for

65
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: a really, really good week. I had one day where

66
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 2: Miss thirteen was just in bed all day, and normally

67
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: I'm going to just let the day disappear, but I thought,

68
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 2: you know what, she's old enough, she can stay home.

69
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: I'm going to take Miss nine out and we're actually

70
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: going to spend some time together. So I took her

71
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: to the Botanic gardens and we just sat under a tree.

72
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: We took the picnic blanket, and I took a board

73
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 2: game that has been sitting in our cupboard. I can't

74
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: tell you how maybe two years.

75
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: I can tell you yet two years, yeah, that we

76
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: haven't learned to play.

77
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: And she did such a good job of sitting there

78
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: patiently as we both tried to work out how to

79
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 2: play the game. We read the rules and we worked

80
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: everything out together.

81
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: And that's not her personality.

82
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: It is not her personality. And once we'd played at once,

83
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: I said, would you like to read your book now?

84
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: And she said, no, I know, let's play it again.

85
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 2: She really really enjoyed it. But at the end of

86
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: that time together, I said to her, what do you

87
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 2: love about homeschooling? And she said, I love it. Did

88
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: I get to spend more time with you? And I said,

89
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: I said, I really love spending time with you too.

90
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 2: I said, what are you missing? And you know what

91
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: she said? She absolutely blew my socks off. She said,

92
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: I miss real learning. Four weeks at home just being

93
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: able to kind of just do her own thing and

94
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 2: explore the world as she knows it, and she misses

95
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: real learning. She said, I miss doing mass and English

96
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: and science and health and pea. And then she looked

97
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 2: at me and she said, not the health part. I

98
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 2: just missed the pea. And I looked at her and

99
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 2: I said, this is awesome, because when we first started

100
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 2: this process, in my head, I was like, we're going

101
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: to do a project together and we're going to learn together.

102
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 2: And I was so excited about everything, and it did

103
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 2: not work out like that. But we're four weeks in

104
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 2: and this kid has told me she is missing learning.

105
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 2: So I looked at her. We've been reading a gardening

106
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: book and I said, I think I think it's time

107
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: for a worm farm. And she looked at me and

108
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 2: she like a whole face lit up. So we got online.

109
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: She found the worm farm, she found the worms. We

110
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 2: brought a thousand worms.

111
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: What are we going to do with a thousand worms?

112
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 2: We stuck them in the worm cafe. It's called a

113
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 2: worm cafe and we're learning all about recycling and composting,

114
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 2: and she's just in heaven. It was so cool. I

115
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: think the thing that stands out to me the most, though,

116
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: is that I've just given them breathing space to recover

117
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 2: from everything that's been going on in their world for

118
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 2: a little while now, and just allowed them to come

119
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 2: to their own conclusions and their own desires are coming forth.

120
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: And as a result, Emily's ready, She's ready to learn,

121
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 2: and she wants to learn that so much.

122
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: Her big sister. Well, we still got a little bit

123
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: of way to go for those of you who are

124
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: new here. By the way, in the last four or

125
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: five weeks, we've decided homeschool our two youngest kids. So

126
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 1: we're doing this little live experiment that we're letting you

127
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: in on.

128
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 2: What's your experience you want to share?

129
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: Okay, my old dibut it. Tomorrow, I'm going to be

130
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: a bit sneaky. Two are going in. And the reason

131
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: two are going in is because I had a really,

132
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: really great experience that I wanted to share. But in

133
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: the interest of transparency and honesty and authenticity, I don't

134
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: feel like I can share the great experience without highlighting

135
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: that I get stuff wrong a fair bit and I

136
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: just blew it. So I'm going to start with my

137
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: terrible story, and then I'm going to share my amazing

138
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: story because I just nailed it. So I wasn't having

139
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: the greatest day on this particular day. I had just

140
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: paid a great, big tax bill that didn't make me

141
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: feel good because nobody likes paying taxes. I know they

142
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: help us to make our country function. But anyway, I

143
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: was feeling cranky. But I'd also been working really really

144
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: hard all day and had missed some food. And I

145
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: came in a little bit after what lunchtime should have been,

146
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: and I don't know, I mean, the kids weren't doing

147
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: what I thought they should have been doing, and I

148
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: was hungry and cranky, and I just started bossing everyone around.

149
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I have this conversation with people when I

150
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: run my workshops about how we can view our relationship

151
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: with our kids like a bucket, and in that bucket,

152
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: we either want water, which is connection, or we have air,

153
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: just correction and direction. And nobody wants to carry around

154
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: an empty bucket, Like who wants to carry around a

155
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: bucket full of air? You want to carry around a

156
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: bucket that's got water in it. The water is why

157
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: you have a bucket. So if you've got a relationship,

158
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: that's all correction and direction, that's all air. We're just

159
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: carrying around an empty bucket. And I walked into the

160
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,679
Speaker 1: house and I started correcting and directing everyone, you, the kids,

161
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: the whole lot. And within about fourteen seconds, everything had

162
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: gone gone to hell. Like it was just horrendous, wasn't

163
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: it. It was awful, and you got cranky at me, and

164
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: rightly so. And then I said some things that I

165
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: shouldn't have said, and I just, I mean, I want

166
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: to I want to share that because it just highlights

167
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: when we enter a room and when we see things

168
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: going on that aren't what our expectations are. We can

169
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: be soft and gentle and compassionate and kind and understanding,

170
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: or we can blow up. And when we blow up,

171
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: we make a big mess. And that's what I did.

172
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: And it was horrible and it was just it was

173
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: such a great reminder. I can't remember the last time

174
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: we've had an incident like that has been a long time,

175
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: and it felt awful and it was just that kick

176
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: in the pants that I needed. And then you made

177
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: sure that kick the pants remained, because I don't think

178
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: you talked to me for a few hours like it lasted.

179
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: It lasted a while anyway. So just a reminder, let's

180
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: be soft, let's be gentle, Let's recognize that if we're

181
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: not doing well, it's probably not the right time to

182
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: step into correction and direction mode. We need to have

183
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: connection before we start pointing out places that people can improve,

184
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: and we need to work on ourselves more than other people.

185
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: My great story, though, just briefly, is that we got

186
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: a phone call on Saturday from our thirteen year old daughter, Lily.

187
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: She jumped on We've got one of those electric scooters,

188
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: one of those what do they call them, the Segway scooters.

189
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: We've had it for four or five years now, and

190
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: she had jumped on the scooter and scooted down to

191
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: Sunshine Plaza so she can hang out with some friends.

192
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: She called you in tears. Now I'm not quite sure

193
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: why you handed me the phone.

194
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 2: Because she needed to hear from you that it was okay.

195
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: What had happened is that in spite of the fact

196
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: that she had locked up the scooter, somebody had busted

197
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: through the lock and stolen the scooter. She was devastated.

198
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: I mean she was sobbing down the phone, and I

199
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: remember hearing the tears and hearing the anguish in her

200
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: voice and thinking, I've really got to be at my

201
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: best right now. My third year old daughter needs me

202
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: to get this right. And as she cried and told

203
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: me what had happened, I said to her, Lily, people matter,

204
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: things don't. And then I said to her, do you

205
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: want to walk home or do you want me to

206
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: come and get you. Do you want some time in

207
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: the open air to just breathe and think, or do

208
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: you want me to come and pick you up in

209
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: the car. And so I went and collected her, and

210
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: I gave her a big hug, and I just let

211
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: her know that we would talk about it later, but

212
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: for now, we didn't need to talk about it at all.

213
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: She just needed to know that I'm glad she's okay.

214
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: She showed me where they'd bent the bar that she

215
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: was tied up to, like they had really properly stolen

216
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: this thing. It's not like she left it unlocked. And

217
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: I said, so, well, we'll have a little tutorial to

218
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: make sure that we are locking it up well, because

219
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 1: she's going to right for bike down. We don't want

220
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: the bike to get sold, and so let's make sure

221
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: that we're locking things up properly. But you're not in trouble.

222
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: I'm not going to blame you for somebody else's bad behavior.

223
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: You haven't done the wrong thing here, and people matter,

224
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: things don't. I'm much more concerned about you than I

225
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: am the scooter, and Kylie, I don't know about you,

226
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: But I just felt like that was pretty close to

227
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: perfect parenting, felt like I got it right in light.

228
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: Of the conversation that we had yet just yesterday about

229
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 2: finances and how as we get Christmas. Yeah, it really

230
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 2: kind of just strikes me that so often when our

231
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 2: kids find themselves in situations like this, or even when

232
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 2: they've done the wrong thing, our first reaction is the

233
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 2: money we've lost that money, or oh my gosh, we're

234
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 2: never going to be able to afford to get another

235
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 2: one of those scooters again, or whatever it is. And

236
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 2: yet in that moment, being able to remember that, just

237
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 2: like you said so beautifully, people matter, not things.

238
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: So that's our older better tomorrow. We hope that it's

239
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,160
