  Before we get started, I want to make sure you know about our back-to-school program.

• 00:03

  Now look, for years I was the kind of parent who said, whatever,

• 00:06

  we'll roll into the school, I'll deal with it over time, but I didn't realize until later.

  In the first week, a kid decides, I like this school thing, I can do it.
