Speaker 3: got a woman who's been a participant of my shows
Speaker 3: plural I'm buz off and on over the past fifteen
Speaker 3: twenty years. I have her here tonight because she's a teacher,
Speaker 3: and she overhears the conversations that kids have when they
Speaker 3: tell their friends. You know, I hope Santa brings me
Speaker 3: x or y or z and she is here to
Speaker 3: share that information with you that may not know what to.
Speaker 2: Get your kids.
Speaker 3: So please everybody welcome my buddy teacher Terry.
Speaker 2: Hello Teacher Terry, and a.
Speaker 4: Happy Thanksgiving too. I hope everyone had a wonderful day today,
Speaker 4: and you remember to wear elastic pants so you are
Speaker 4: now comfortably sitting. I am plunged out someplace and quite
Speaker 4: happy with your day.
Speaker 2: I am.
Speaker 3: I was quite happy with my day and my evening
Speaker 3: consists of talking to thirty eight states in Canada. For
Speaker 3: what more can I be happy?
Speaker 4: Exactly? What more could you ask for?
Speaker 3: There you go, and before we get started, I want
Speaker 3: to send the message to two of my regulars. One
Speaker 3: to Florence AND's family. I think she was not going
Speaker 3: to be able to call in for Thanksgiving issues, so
Speaker 3: I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2: Florence.
Speaker 3: And a caller who's been on my side for decades,
Speaker 3: Janet Forbes, I hope things are doing well with you
Speaker 3: and I want you to know you're in my thoughts,
Speaker 3: so I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving. Now, what's
Speaker 3: the scuttle button?
Speaker 2: With the kids.
Speaker 3: Now you second grade teach or third grade teacher, because
Speaker 3: you've done both.
Speaker 4: I've done both. I'm presently I work with I work
Speaker 4: a little bit through from third through seventh. But I
Speaker 4: have to say that and some of the ideas that
Speaker 4: I have are definitely you know, it will work across
Speaker 4: all of those ages. Some of them are directed more
Speaker 4: towards the younger group, but yeah, they're all over the
Speaker 4: place a bit. That's I am. Presently. I'm working as
Speaker 4: a reading interventionist, so I spend a lot of time
Speaker 4: in a lot of different classrooms.
Speaker 2: Well let me.
Speaker 3: Say this twelve months ago, at this time, coming off
Speaker 3: the success of the Summer movie of twenty twenty three, Barbie, Barbie,
Speaker 3: her Friends, the Automobiles, the Home, everything Barbie was I
Speaker 3: can't miss.
Speaker 4: Yes, everything Barbie, everything, the color pink.
Speaker 2: Yeah, is that still trending?
Speaker 4: No, not as much, not as much. But you'll notice
Speaker 4: that movies definitely come out around the holiday. So Malwana
Speaker 4: too just came out. So there are you know, some
Speaker 4: things that go around the Disney things like that. I
Speaker 4: haven't had an opportunity to see it, but I believe
Speaker 4: it's called Hot to the one with Dwayne Johnson as
Speaker 4: Santa Claus.
Speaker 2: You missed by one digit. It's called Red.
Speaker 4: One, Red One Boy or any one.
Speaker 2: And there's another one movie out there, Transformers one.
Speaker 4: Uh huh.
Speaker 3: They've had easily eight, nine, ten Transformers movies, so why
Speaker 3: calling it one? I think it's they've gone back to
Speaker 3: the original storyline. That's why they're saying Transformers one. And
Speaker 3: I guarantee you there are toys for that.
Speaker 4: I guarantee you that any of these holidays or any
Speaker 4: of these holiday movies that you know came out between
Speaker 4: November and now are going to be huge hits with kids,
Speaker 4: and they're definitely going to want the latest greatest toy
Speaker 4: that came with that. So go ahead, you say, yeah,
Speaker 4: that is definitely you know, that is always whatever is,
Speaker 4: whatever is in the media catches the kids. They're you know,
Speaker 4: we are definitely in a digital age, and so whatever
Speaker 4: comes up on media is definitely what you know drives
Speaker 4: the kids to to want. So the more something is advertised,
Speaker 4: the more likely it is that they will be head
Speaker 4: over heels about it in particular.
Speaker 2: Okay, and.
Speaker 3: Do not answer this question yet because I'm going to
Speaker 3: take a break, but I want you to think about
Speaker 3: this question. From what you know, and I know the
Speaker 3: era of your kids being in that age has long passed,
Speaker 3: But do you recommend ordering something through the phone or
Speaker 3: going to a big box store. Don't say a word.
Speaker 3: We'll pick that up when we come back. Anybody wants
Speaker 3: to join our conversation six one, seven, two, five, four,
Speaker 3: ten thirty or eight eight, eight, nine to nine, ten thirty.
Speaker 3: This is nights Side. Dan raisof I Morgan White Junior.
Speaker 3: I am here, so let's just take our breaks. Retirement
Speaker 3: temperature eight point fifteen forty two degrees.
Speaker 1: Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
Speaker 1: night Side Studios.
Speaker 2: On WBZ News Radio. Welcome back to Morgan filling in
Speaker 2: for Dan. I'll be here till midnight. Hope we can
Speaker 2: stay as long as possible.
Speaker 3: This first hour, we're talking about what toys to get
Speaker 3: the kids. And I've got a woman who's been a
Speaker 3: teacher and I'm going to cactually say this for decades
Speaker 3: and decades.
Speaker 2: Is that safe enough, Terry.
Speaker 4: For a while? Yes? Indeed?
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, as.
Speaker 4: You were talking earlier, I was like, you don't have
Speaker 4: to bring up really how long I've known you? Do you?
Speaker 2: Well? There you go.
Speaker 4: It has been a while though, that is indeed true.
Speaker 3: We have known each other for years. I think we
Speaker 3: even knew each other during the bush A ministry the
Speaker 3: first one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's entirely possible.
Speaker 3: That's entirely possible. So I gave you a question to
Speaker 3: think about. You are an advocate of ordering it by
Speaker 3: phone and having one of the delivery companies bring the
Speaker 3: presence to the house, or getting in the car, shoving
Speaker 3: the key and the ignition, going to the mall with
Speaker 3: a list and doing.
Speaker 2: The best you can.
Speaker 4: I don't. I think that's just that to me, that
Speaker 4: is a very personal thing. People figure out whether or
Speaker 4: not this is you know, do I have the time?
Speaker 4: Do I have the resources to be able to do that?
Speaker 4: You know, for better or worse, technology has given us
Speaker 4: this ability to be able to do many things from
Speaker 4: our homes and personally, people like me.
Speaker 2: I'm doing the show from my home.
Speaker 4: And first people, that is a tremendous life saver. Like me,
Speaker 4: I do my job from home, and so, you know,
Speaker 4: it really does. It's much more of a an individual preference.
Speaker 4: It doesn't really matter one way or the other. You
Speaker 4: can get you can get the same type of deals
Speaker 4: whether you're doing it in person or or online, many
Speaker 4: of the same things are available. So it's not like,
Speaker 4: you know, with the exception of the door busters that
Speaker 4: that you'll get going to overnight tonight.
Speaker 3: As doors open, uh, Cyber Monday, Black Friday, tomorrow.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yeah, So you know, with the exception of
Speaker 4: the things that are are and they really are doorbuster
Speaker 4: things because they're the things they want to pull you
Speaker 4: in to the store, and so they're offering deals that
Speaker 4: are bigger than anything else you'll get if you wait.
Speaker 4: And the same is true with the Cyber Monday. They're
Speaker 4: offering bigger deals online then. But there are so many things.
Speaker 4: I just heard on one of the morning news stations
Speaker 4: that and it was the National News. Two wait for
Speaker 4: things like televisions to get now, but pretty much anything else,
Speaker 4: the smaller things, the prices are pretty much going to
Speaker 4: be in and around what they are, and so you
Speaker 4: don't really have to put off until you know, tonight
Speaker 4: or tomorrow to do that shopping. So I do not
Speaker 4: I know what I do for convenience sake, and you know,
Speaker 4: for convenience sake, I have family who doesn't live in
Speaker 4: the same state that I do, so I do a
Speaker 4: fair amount of shopping and have it delivered even to
Speaker 4: their house. Yeah, so I will. You know, I have
Speaker 4: family in Iowa, So if I'm going to send something
Speaker 4: to my great nieces and nephews in Iowa, I will.
Speaker 4: I'll purchase things and ship it to them. And I
Speaker 4: can do that easier online obviously than through a store.
Speaker 4: So it depends on who you're shopping for and what
Speaker 4: you know, what your ability is to be able to
Speaker 4: get to the store. You know, sometimes life is hectic
Speaker 4: enough that the best thing, the easiest thing to do
Speaker 4: is to do your shopping from home, because you don't
Speaker 4: have to worry about do I have someone to watch
Speaker 4: the kids and I you know, then again, you may
Speaker 4: very well want to hire a babysitter and go out
Speaker 4: and spend your time away from your children in the
Speaker 4: madness that is everyone else trying to do the same thing.
Speaker 4: But that's really a it really is a personal preference
Speaker 4: in what people like to do one way or the other.
Speaker 4: Some of the gifts that I have always liked, and
Speaker 4: my children are older now, but they have said those
Speaker 4: are the ones that they still ask for now. So actually, no,
Speaker 4: all right, this year I'm getting an awful lot of money. Yes,
Speaker 4: but in the past it's rather than buy me something,
Speaker 4: can you plan an event that you and I can
Speaker 4: do together?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, that's nice.
Speaker 4: So as an example of my daughter who's almost thirty now,
Speaker 4: she last year we decided that we were going to
Speaker 4: attend a pink concert together, and so we got tickets
Speaker 4: and a hotel and we actually went to Philadelphia to
Speaker 4: see it, even though she was in Foxborough. We did
Speaker 4: the extra trip to just make it an extra special weekend.
Speaker 4: And so if you have an ability to take to
Speaker 4: take and it doesn't have to be something as big
Speaker 4: as bad, but if you have an ability to take
Speaker 4: and do an event with your children as opposed to
Speaker 4: buying them something, they will remember it much longer and
Speaker 4: it will have a much bigger impact on them because
Speaker 4: it's something that you all did together.
Speaker 3: I'm speaking with teacher Terry, a contributor to me in
Speaker 3: the radio for a while, a long while, and you
Speaker 3: mentioned you and your daughter. I'm not going to say
Speaker 3: your name, you and your daughter doing a joint trip.
Speaker 3: I can still remember the day you brought your newborn
Speaker 3: young girl, maybe a week old, to my house so
Speaker 3: my grandmother could see your baby. Yeah that good grief
Speaker 3: is thirty yard years ago.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, wow, we came over to see Nana.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: Anyway, uh, I got three minutes before news. Give me
Speaker 3: a good suggestion for a boys' toy elementary school age
Speaker 3: and if this time before the news, I'll have you
Speaker 3: give me a girl toy.
Speaker 2: Let's do boys first.
Speaker 4: Well, as you said, the Transformer movie is out, there's
Speaker 4: a new one out. Any car type Transformer type very
Speaker 4: much into video games as another thing. But there are
Speaker 4: some games that have a bit of an educational or
Speaker 4: they can have not always. I don't want to tout
Speaker 4: one as being specifically educational, but there are some games
Speaker 4: like The Fortnight or Roadblocks, and they're coming out with
Speaker 4: some new I believe. I had a sixth grader tell
Speaker 4: me there were new skins coming out, so even though
Speaker 4: he hadn't played it in a long time, he thought
Speaker 4: he would go back to playing it.
Speaker 2: What are skins?
Speaker 4: Well, that's a very good question. I listened, but my
Speaker 4: son could tell me, well, he's not here. But he's
Speaker 4: not here, so, oh you know what.
Speaker 2: My producer Dan said, they like different costumes.
Speaker 4: There you go.
Speaker 2: So is that an accurate description?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that. I think that's very true. And
Speaker 4: so they have new costumes that the characters can put
Speaker 4: on and things, so they you know, anytime they make
Speaker 4: updates like that, that becomes something that the the kids
Speaker 4: can get back into, even if they weren't as interested,
Speaker 4: you know, like, oh, I'm kind of bored with this.
Speaker 4: They come up with something new and they go, oh, okay,
Speaker 4: well I can go back and check that out.
Speaker 3: I'm old fashioned. I found out just yesterday that Bruce
Speaker 3: Wayne is no longer Batman. It's his son.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 3: That came from a union between raz Ogul's daughter and
Speaker 3: Bruce Wayne. I didn't know any of this. Well, I
Speaker 3: feel old.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it gets to all of us. Huh.
Speaker 3: No one tells me these things. Let me take my
Speaker 3: news break. I'll bring you back in about three or
Speaker 3: four minutes. Anyone else wants to call in. If you
Speaker 3: know of a great gift to give an elementary school
Speaker 3: age child that's basically first grade through sixth grade.
Speaker 2: Give me a call. Six one, seven, two, five, four, ten,
Speaker 2: thirty eight, eight, eight.
Speaker 3: Nine to nineteen thirty. This is night Side, also known
Speaker 3: as Dan Ray's Show. Here, I'm busy with the time
Speaker 3: and temperature is eight thirty forty two degrees.
Speaker 1: You're on Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's
Speaker 1: news radio.
Speaker 2: I am Morgan White Junior. I hope you and your
Speaker 2: family had a great Thanksgiving. Let's do the best we
Speaker 2: can too. If you're driving, be extra careful out there.
Speaker 2: We don't want you to become a Thanksgiving statistic to
Speaker 2: the negative. Anyway, I have a guest teacher, Terry, who's on.
Speaker 2: She knows what kids want for Christmas. She said to
Speaker 2: share that information to you, moms and dads, aunts and uncles, grandparents,
Speaker 2: even next door neighbors.
Speaker 3: So we've talked about boys. What well a young girl
Speaker 3: of let's say eight nine years old hope to get.
Speaker 4: Well? As they said, Uh Mawana has a new movie
Speaker 4: out there. You know, there's always the movie Pinch around.
Speaker 4: But squash mellows are still big. They're still popping up
Speaker 4: around my classrooms. So those are just extra squishy stuffed animals,
Speaker 4: and they are. They are still a hot commodity among
Speaker 4: the younger students, the younger excuse me, the younger people.
Speaker 3: Right, And I need to make an apology. It's not
Speaker 3: an apology per se, but I've been saying Christmas.
Speaker 2: There are a.
Speaker 3: Variety of holidays in December obviously hanukah ill also, yes, Kwanza.
Speaker 3: I'll even say for the fictional holidays festive us for
Speaker 3: the rest of us. So if there's if there's a
Speaker 3: child who you want to put a big smile on
Speaker 3: their face for the holidays, you should be taking notes.
Speaker 3: And now, what are the squeezable animal toys called squash
Speaker 3: mellows squish mellows. I take out the word marsh mellow,
Speaker 3: take out marsh and put in squish And what is
Speaker 3: a squish mellow.
Speaker 4: It's just an extra squishy stuffed animal type. They all have.
Speaker 4: One of the things that they have done that kids
Speaker 4: really really love is when you get a toy like
Speaker 4: a squish mellow and it comes with its own name.
Speaker 4: Build a Bear has these kind of things where you
Speaker 4: can go in and build stuff, you know, build your
Speaker 4: stuffed animal. And you know, if you have a lot
Speaker 4: of money, build a bear is a lovely thing. But
Speaker 4: once you get into building the bear or the stuffed
Speaker 4: animal that they choose, then they all have clothes and
Speaker 4: by the time you leave there, you could spend a lot,
Speaker 4: a lot, a lot of money. However, it also can
Speaker 4: be you know, they get a birth certificate and all
Speaker 4: those type of things, and that is really one of
Speaker 4: the things that girls especially really like those type of things.
Speaker 4: And it reminds me going back to the Cabbage Patch
Speaker 4: dolls and how they came, you know, I mean that
Speaker 4: was now I they just dated myself. But but they
Speaker 4: came with the birth certificate, they came with a name,
Speaker 4: they came you know, this was you know, this was
Speaker 4: like the real deal, and little girls really really liked that.
Speaker 3: I remember my son who's now forty one, forty two
Speaker 3: years old, he was seventy nine, ten years old during
Speaker 3: the craze of the teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Yes, they
Speaker 3: themself have had five incarnations of fading out, coming back,
Speaker 3: fading out, and they did a smart thing and it
Speaker 3: was echoed by other toys of the era. There were
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty friends, the same.
Speaker 4: With Pokemon correct, same with Pokemon.
Speaker 2: And fifty friends. And once you get all one.
Speaker 3: Fifty, which there were people who did another new one fifty.
Speaker 2: Now we're making at three hundred Pokemon.
Speaker 3: Friends and enemies of the teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Are
Speaker 3: there any toys of the using that concept right now.
Speaker 4: I don't think any that have that expansive, you know,
Speaker 4: I mean to some extent. I mean, Pokemon is still there.
Speaker 4: You know, they have managed they're not you know, it's
Speaker 4: not even a card deck as anymore, as much as
Speaker 4: it is an online game. Pokemon Go also kind of
Speaker 4: grew up with the you know, with their people, and
Speaker 4: so they have big festivals and things like that. So
Speaker 4: you know, they will sell tickets to a Pokemon Go
Speaker 4: festival in New York City and you go and this
Speaker 4: is where you can get You can walk around and
Speaker 4: just collect a lot more Pokemon. You can collect things
Speaker 4: that you won't be able to get any place elf
Speaker 4: because they're only available at this particular thing. So Pokemon
Speaker 4: has done like they have continued to build on what
Speaker 4: they created before and have enhanced it and continue to
Speaker 4: do that. So that is definitely That's definitely something that
Speaker 4: is out there and people are still Pokemon fans.
Speaker 3: I've got another This is an off subject. It's not
Speaker 3: a toy, but a lot of families plan to go
Speaker 3: away during the I'll say Christmas because that week it's
Speaker 3: a Christmas vacation. Kids who are out of school, yes,
Speaker 3: and a lot of families plan like a Disney trip
Speaker 3: or Universal Studios trip, even a cruise. Do you hear
Speaker 3: if that sort of approach is popular among the kids
Speaker 3: that you teach.
Speaker 4: Oh, absolutely, anytime that you can plan a trip away
Speaker 4: with your children and plan something that you have as
Speaker 4: a family that you will do together. Any you could
Speaker 4: go and visit any city and check out different things
Speaker 4: and take them on events throughout the day. So anytime
Speaker 4: you can plan trips like that, you're not only doing
Speaker 4: a vacation, but there's there can be so much educational
Speaker 4: especially cultural learning that takes place of different areas. And
Speaker 4: you know, we live living in Massachusetts. There's such a
Speaker 4: rich history there that you could go out and spend
Speaker 4: the day in Boston or Conquered or Lexington or you know,
Speaker 4: name the community, and there's so much history. And there
Speaker 4: are other cities that have the same type of thing
Speaker 4: where a trip can be incredibly educational.
Speaker 2: To Sturbridge for Oldbridge Village forms plantation.
Speaker 3: Exactly, they're great day trips right there.
Speaker 4: Exactly. They don't have to be you don't have to
Speaker 4: get into on an airplane and fly anywhere. They're you know,
Speaker 4: fortunately we have access to all of that right within Massachusetts,
Speaker 4: and there are day trips that are both educational and
Speaker 4: completely fun. And the other piece of it is that
Speaker 4: if it's something that you enjoy doing with them, they
Speaker 4: will instantly know that and it will become more fun
Speaker 4: for them something that they have done with mom or dad,
Speaker 4: with grandma, or Grandpa, with Uncle Joe, you know, whoever
Speaker 4: it is that they're with. If they know that that
Speaker 4: person is having a good time as well, they're spending
Speaker 4: the day together, they're doing this together. This becomes something
Speaker 4: that they go sound in their memory forever. And it
Speaker 4: is such a positive impact that we can make on
Speaker 4: our young people's lives by just taking that extra time
Speaker 4: whenever we can and spending it with them, learning about
Speaker 4: our area together where we live, learning about all of
Speaker 4: that and doing that together.
Speaker 3: I am at the break time. We still have about
Speaker 3: another ten twelve minutes with you and I but I'm
Speaker 3: going to take a break and we'll take a call
Speaker 3: from San Francisco and anyone else wants to call in
Speaker 3: and carment on this six one, seven, two, five, four,
Speaker 3: ten thirty or eight eight, eight, nine to nine, ten thirty.
Speaker 3: And I meant to do this for you young lady.
Speaker 3: You were talking about family before. I want to send
Speaker 3: Hello to a cousin. Your cousin, Cindy, So if she's listening,
Speaker 3: because I know she lives in Minnesota, because they can
Speaker 3: listen in Minnesota to our sa Hello, Hello Cindy. So David,
Speaker 3: let me do the break and you'll be the first
Speaker 3: call we take after these messages. Time here on night
Speaker 3: side eight forty five and the temperature in the Greater
Speaker 3: Boston area forty two degrees.
Speaker 1: Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
Speaker 1: Nice Sight Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 3: Talking with teacher Terry helping you with Christmas shopping because
Speaker 3: she has first tan knowledge of what the kids at
Speaker 3: school are talking about that they hope they get for
Speaker 3: the holiday gift. And Terry, let me introduce you to
Speaker 3: one of the Bezy regulars. He's in San Francisco. Terry,
Speaker 3: Meet David. David say hello to Terry.
Speaker 5: Hello Terry, Hello Morgan, Nancy, Oh Gray, Tony, and Ohio.
Speaker 5: Please Happy Thanksgiving to everybody Boston. My suggestion for a
Speaker 5: gift for Christmas or whenever is Whatler Girl is Two
Speaker 5: spiral notebooks and two ballpoint tens. Use one spiral notebook
Speaker 5: for writing in print print letters and one spiral notebook
Speaker 5: for writing in cursive. Because we're losing that, we're losing
Speaker 5: that ability to write. I just think it's important that
Speaker 5: you keep that as a basic tool for are you
Speaker 5: know writing?
Speaker 3: I you agree, and Terry, do you teach cursive No?
Speaker 4: No, we do not teach cursive in in in the
Speaker 4: schools most I won't say all, but most public schools
Speaker 4: do not. There is a So here's the thing. Something
Speaker 4: has to give, And because we teach so much with technology, curse,
Speaker 4: it is not a priority. There certainly is handwriting, and
Speaker 4: there certainly is you know, those components that we add
Speaker 4: into this. So there's handwriting that all students do, but
Speaker 4: they do not take the extra time. And from my perspective,
Speaker 4: it has a lot to do with standardized testing and
Speaker 4: the fact that there needs to be more time put
Speaker 4: into testing and teaching teaching the content that will be
Speaker 4: on a test, because there's so much writing on funding
Speaker 4: and everything that goes into that particular age.
Speaker 2: Do kids learn how to sign their name?
Speaker 4: They don't necessarily learn. I mean that is something that
Speaker 4: at some point they will you know, people will turn
Speaker 4: and say you have to be able to sign your name,
Speaker 4: and they will either come up with the letters. I mean,
Speaker 4: I certainly have shared with students this is what cursive
Speaker 4: writing looks like. And these are the letters that you
Speaker 4: were you would use if this were what you wanted
Speaker 4: to how you wanted to write. But it is not
Speaker 4: a skill that is taught.
Speaker 3: See you're easy, Terry. You have a line that goes
Speaker 3: east west. You have a line that goes north south.
Speaker 3: That is the standard T, and you know, go whichever
Speaker 3: way you want to the E and the R and
Speaker 3: the eye. But I just know that I learned how
Speaker 3: to sign my name in third fourth grade.
Speaker 4: So I can I can tell you of a personal
Speaker 4: story around this, and that is that I tried to
Speaker 4: get my son to write in cursive and he said,
Speaker 4: what do I need it for? And I said, you
Speaker 4: need to be able to sign your name, so I
Speaker 4: would like you to learn this so you can sign
Speaker 4: your name. And he laughed at me and said, but
Speaker 4: a signature isn't doesn't have anything to do with what
Speaker 4: your name is. Your signature can be anything you like.
Speaker 4: And so he came up with a signature that is
Speaker 4: his signature and it has nothing to do with what
Speaker 4: his name would look like if he were to actually
Speaker 4: write it out.
Speaker 2: I sign his name for me one day, just to
Speaker 2: see what you're talking about.
Speaker 4: You will absolutely have to do that. And he said
Speaker 4: the best argument that he had for that was looking
Speaker 4: at his mother's signature. And therefore I had nothing more
Speaker 4: I could say about it.
Speaker 2: I signature standard.
Speaker 4: I can make. I can write my name, but if
Speaker 4: I am writing my signature, it is the letter T
Speaker 4: and the letter.
Speaker 3: K okay uh, David, anything else you want to bring up,
