I had this thing with my oldest son where I don't know if it's all kids, but he's 13. He doesn't know how to answer the phone.

Not to save his life.

Oh, he picks up the phone. Hello.

And so I said, listen from now on, when you call me, I expect a certain way that you pick up the phone.

And that's going to be practiced for you, how you interact with anybody else.

And vice versa, as well, if I call you, you have to pick up the phone.

And if you don't, I'm hanging up right away. So yesterday, he calls me and I'm like,

Chimalt speaking. You know, it's like, hello, Chimalt speaking.

Done.

Hi, he calls back. Hello, Chimalt speaking.

Done.

We did this three more fucking times. And then finally I said, when will you get it through your head? Can you please just answer like if I say hello to

Chimalt speaking, hey, dad, it's your son or hey, dad, it's.

And it's unbelievable. And he's like, well, none of my friends pick up the phone like this. And I'm like, oh my god, like don't they think they need to have verbal communication skills?

It's unbelievable.

And then when I call him, he picked up the phone.

What? Not even hello. Huh? What is that? It's like a grunt.

Minimal efforts, like the minimum number of syllables.

It's embarrassing. Are you kids like this? Or is it just my kid?

Actually, I don't think I've heard him pick up the phone. I need to test that.

Like your winner tried. Brainceman David said, we open source into the fans and they've just crazy.

I love you.
