But I think starting the conversation is the key. I think also, to me, at least, the effect that that had was it demystified whatever was going on on the phone. It's kind of the same thing. I dealt with this a lot when I was a kid of like, what if everyone laughs at me? Or what if they're making fun of me and hearing an adult say to me like, well, not everything. People are just going about their days
