11:17 - 11:30

12:12 - 12:22
• "So we read the book and we had worked out with the school beforehand of, I, my mom didn't want me in the nurse's office a lot, so I had all of my supplies and my little cubby with my books."

• "She trusted that while you were babysitting you would be able to manage yourself and take care of her kids and be an extra level of support and safety if the technology let them down...
