no reason, like, okay,listen, my life. Uh, Mackenzie.
Look, it seems to me thatyou're looking for a mother figure in
your life, and she, Catherine, is fulfilling that in some sick way.
And I think she is kind ofpraying on that. I don't think

(08:13):
so. And I think if youreally really cared about her, you would
send her home to her father andlet her figure herself out. Well.
I really appreciate the concern and thatadvice. I just I want you to
know I'm happy because you know everything. I know everything. I'm twenty two
and I know exactly what I'm doing. I can make my own life choices.

Catherine, I honestly can't. Dad. I promise I'm happy. Like I'm
telling you, Dad, my wifesounds like the time of her life.
