I don’t know. I remember quite a few things, but I don’t know if any of them are God-awful important, you know? Well, pick one. I remember the time that we hatched those chicks in the porch. In Nippon. In Nippon. Yeah, that was cool. That was interesting. Pretty good. I remember driving home with you to Nacom a number of times and talking the whole time, because you’d never stop asking questions. Yeah, well, hasn’t changed much. No, I know. You kind of are who you are. Yep, that’s right. No, there were lots of good times, Jordan. All good times. I think I remember mostly when I was a little kid reading with you. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, that was great. That was so much fun. I thought so. That’s what I remember. I was pretty little, but what I remember is that, well, first of all, we had a Dr. Sue’s book come every week or something like that, because we were in a book club. And used to come home every night. And after dinner, we would sit, lay on the rug. We had a hooked, one of those hooked rugs. And we’d lay on the rug and you’d put your arm around me. And away we go through one or two books. And you taught me to read, you know, and I remember that going on for quite a long time. And it was wonderful to have the attention. And well, and to be given that gift of literacy as well. And to have it instilled in me in such a young age. You know, I mean, I loved reading. It’s really shaped my life in every possible way. So, you know, and I remember, you know, one of the things that was different about you, we had our differences when I was a teenager. Sounds kind of like the ones you had with your dad, you know, both stubborn. And I, you know, I had hanging around with rough kids. And we misbehaved a lot, a lot of drinking and that sort of thing, you know, and I, you put up with them. That’s about all you should have done really, I suppose. But most of my friends, you know, they didn’t have a good relationship with their fathers. They had no respect for them. And it was, yeah, yeah, it was really rough on them. Those, those my friends, those are my teenage friends, or, you know, the ones in junior high. Yeah, yeah, I know. And, you know, when we were alone with my friends, they’d have a bad interaction with their dad or something and they’d be pretty hard on them, bad mouth them. And I could tell they were mad, bitter, resentful, angry about it. And they had their reasons or hurt by it or a combination of all those things disappointed. But I never felt that way. I mean, even when we had altercations. Yeah. I knew that fundamentally, despite whatever altercations we might have, that you were on the side of my better angels, let’s say. Well, yeah, well, that’s a tricky thing to manage, you know. Always that. Yeah, but it’s a tricky thing to manage because when you have kids, you kind of, on the one hand, you want to like the kid, you know, but on the other hand, you want to like the kid that they could be even better. So you have to kind of balance that acceptance for and appreciation for who they are right now with the desire to foster further development. And I think mothers sort of specialize in the former and dads to some degree specialize in the latter. It’s not that cut and dried, obviously. But the fact that you had belief in my potential was, has always been of inestimable value. And I think that’s the reason why I’m so proud of you. Was, has always been of inestimable value. And one of the things that really hurt me when I went on tour and talked to so many people was that that was so lacking for so many people. You know, they didn’t have someone who really had their back, like really, when the chips were down, both you and mom, I knew that. I knew that that was true. That gives you kind of a foundation underneath you, you know. Well, you obviously had it with your grandparents and your mother. Yep. I don’t know what it would be like to grow up without that. You know, you’d be pretty lost, pretty alone. Yeah, well, there’s no doubt it would be tough. Anyhow, we always, mom and I always said we were young and dumb. So everything goes well.
