650: Whatever It Takes to Get the Laundry Folded

When Declan was really little, I'm saying, like, two ish years old, Aaron typically would bring him to what I like to call baby gym. It was a place called Romp n Roll, where you would bring your infant or your toddler, and you would do, like, not gymnastics, but, like, they would run around and play and sing songs and do games and whatever the case may be. Collect viruses. She she did this with him constantly. I went on Sundays with Declan, and we would go in the morning and do a romp and roll together. We We would have lunch together, and this gave Aaron some time to not be mom and be Aaron. And one of the times that I went to this barbecue place with Declan, he was, like, two or three at the time, I had gotten myself some french fries. And I thought, you know what?

So, so say hi to the rest of the family, you two, because apparently, for at least a few minutes, they're here as well. Hi, the rest of the family. Sorry about the heroin joke. I presume that your, your amazingly powerful dad uncoolness will repel him eventually, or that our combined three way dad uncoolness? Because it's a we have a potent, yes. That is true. Dad on coolness here. And so there's only I mean, how how old is he now? Declan is 10. He is close to 11. Oh, yeah. That's how you one or two more years, and he will not be able to tolerate how, how uncool we all are as day. Exactly. Now Mikaela, she is seven and a half now, and so I think I am …
