I don't know if you ever get used to completely being a parent, or if every day is like you're learning something new from these wonderful little miracles. No, but look, school's changed so much since we were at school, Brett. So if you want to order something from the canteen for your kids for lunch, and this might not be the same every school across the country, but definitely for the one Maley goes to, everything is done via an app. Do you remember back in the day how your mum would just send you to school with like five bars and that was enough to get you chicken yummy drummies, a souper duper a four hundred, like.

I go to pick up Molly from school and she is in tears, like she is not a happy camper. I always pack her a couple of extra snacks because you never know if they're gonna like what they get from the canteen, so just to make sure she's got something else in there, just in case.

And then I went back on the app and I checked, and I think I must have just checked the total amount and didn't actually process the order because it was no actual receipt there. So it wasn't the school fault, like it was definitely my fault. It was an app glip and I made a mistake.

And this is everything from ordering from the canteen to buying school uniforms you do it online, to like booking them into after schoolcare you do Everything is done through different apps, and there's so many apps. There's so many WHATSEP groups. Even to book in your parent teacher night you have to do it through a calendar app so that you know when you're going to see the teacher. Like everything is online, which on one hand is very convenient, but on the other hand, if you miss the deadlines, you can't just send them to school with a brown paper bag.

But to be fair, I know you said you're not an organized person, but a lunch order app is far easier than it is to have gone and gotten cash out and to have a brown paper bag and to write on it, to put it in and put into the bag.

And it was someone's job to make sure like the sheets were constantly moving on the projector and they weren't back to front and upside down. And now I don't even think there are chalkboards. Isn't it all like on iPads? And isn't it really extreme for kids now?

No, I think that they're still chalkboards. I went into a parent teacher recently. So we had like a class presentation where the teacher had to present to all of us, is like an orientation for kindergarten, and all the parents walked in and we sat at the kid's desk. The only thing is that because they're in kindergarten, they're not normal sized chairs and they're not normal sized table. So there there was like thirty parents just all squeezed into these little chairs on the floor while the teacher was up the front talking to us. It was very humbling.
