By the way,
any grandparents
um who are watching this,
community members, grandparents,
um
I tell, you know, when I when I
horseplay with our grandkids or I do
stuff with them,
um I always like I always say something
like,
um
if if let's say for example, I have a
thing that I play gorilla with the kids,
you know, walk around like a gorilla and
they run away, it's a whole big thing. I
tell the kids if you don't like, if
you're not comfortable, if you get
scared if you're frightened by this or
if you don't want to, just say stop and
I'll stop that second.
And they they actually the last couple
of years the kids started to be it
really became funny. I do it, the kids
say, "Stop. Start." And I think it's
great cuz it's giving them agency.
It's part of the it's part of the whole
gorilla stick, but but what it's telling
the children is that even
someone we I know you love me and I I
get all that, but if you don't like it,
just say stop and I and and I'll stop
right away.
