Ken, but he seemed a lot nicer.

- Yeah.

- Okay.

You know, like, they really...

It's something that it's like...

I think you owe it to

yourself to do it, you know?

- Mmm.

Yeah, I mean, honestly...

I mean, I've always wanted

to go to India, like...

- literally forever.

- So do it, f***ing do it.

You know, once you have kids, it's

like you can't, I just can't...

That kid came into your life,

it wasn't the other way around.

He came in to your home. Take

your kid with you, you know?

Don't let that limit you,

you know?

Ugh, yeah.

- No, it's not...

- When we have kids,

we're not, you know,

it's not gonna limit us.

- No.

- -Mm-hmm.

What time was it

when you looked at your phone?

It was uh... 5:
30.

I have to get home

and make the sweet pea dinner.

- Oh.

- Yeah.

Have a fantastic time.

- Thank you so much for this beautiful

session today. -You guys practice.

You don't have

regular milk, do you?

Um, we have raw milk.

Do you have

regular milk, though?

Um, today we have goat's milk, uh, coconut

milk, almond milk, cashew milk, um, soy milk,

and then there's hemp and flax milk

actually in the dry goods section.

So no just regular milk?

Not today.

I can't believe the poopies

go in the ground.

- That's where dogs and cats go poopie,

in the ground. -Jude, Jude, Jude...

Let's have dinner. It's not nice to talk

about poopies at the dinner table, okay?

- Okay.

- Okay.

- But guess what.

- But I love you.

- And your daddy needs to do the

taxes this weekend... -Yeah.

Because I'm gonna have a nervous breakdown if I

eat dinner on this table like this one more time.

You got it. Hey, Jude, can I ask

you a question about the taxes?

Uh, did you take

a poopie today?

I didn't.

What?

- Tim, I'm not joking.

- Okay, yeah.

We love you so much.

You're such a good boy.

- Aw.

- All right.

- See? You make me the bad guy.

- How do I...

Because you have to do this.

And them I'm getting...

I'm turning into this.

Okay, how about this?

You can go play. You can do whatever

you want, buddy boy. Is that okay?

- I'll do the taxes. I'm sorry.

- No, but see?

You see what happens?

And then I'm...

And then I'm the bad guy.

Come here. Come here.

- Just do it. This weekend.

I know. -Okay.

I don't wanna take

your mom and your step-dad's

money in this moment.

And I don't think there's anything wrong with that

'cause we're talking about a three-year-old boy.

Mm-hmm.

If this conversation was

about college and it was...

- college or no college, then...

- They say, they say...

They say, they say that preschool now is

more important in getting into college

- than, like, high school.

- Stop it. I don't...
