I don’t even know what to say to this. Jeremy found a book from the ’80s entitled Kids Can Cooperate: A practical guide to teaching problem solving at Goodwill.

And it goes on. See, it’s the illustrations. Seriously. Not right. The book. Not Jeremy.

Probably just check out the Duke campus and find a coffee shop to hang out in.
