This part is only one sentenceof this great piece. But it sums up every single moment of having two kids and getting into the car.
“As we walked to the car, after Layla had collapsed on the floor because George pressed both buttons, and I brought her to a different door so she could press a button, and we paused at the outside benches for a snack because we couldn’t possibly make it home without sustenance…”
Loved this piece Charlie. Felt every emotion you had as a parent that you didn't describe.
Ah awesome, thanks, Rick!
Love this Charlie. Any chance to squash extrinsic motivators for something so intrinsically rewarding is such a win.
Ugh yes, Leslie! Thank you!

The buttons, the snacks… so much right there.
Haha what a stage of life we are in.
I agree with Rick and Jake. I felt like I was there going through this with my own kids. Well done!
Thank you, Dakota!
Charming story…but I really wasn’t expecting that ending!
Glad I could keep you on your toes, Drake! ;)
