Honey!
Our kids are smarter than us now!
We don't have to do anything anymore!
- Okay, we started at tradition on this YouTube channel,
every year we had a big back to school video,
and it was really celebrating
getting these crazy kids outta the house,
we all needed to see other people.
But now we're getting to the point
that we really miss them when they're not around.
- Yeah.
They're still kids, there's still all kinds of-
- Stuff. - Stuff.
But they've got their own little personalities,
they're getting adult-ish,
they're really funny,
and they can hold an actual conversation,
which is something that I don't think we had before.
So when they leave, it's like-
- Who are we gonna talk to?
Oh, I guess each other.
I'm like desperate to hold onto those moments,
'cause they feel very fleeting.
But anyway, happy back to school.
We hope everyone has a great year,
and I'm gonna go hug my kids now.
- Stop talking to me for the rest of the day.
