But we are here to listen.

Here, Pink shares a glimpse of his life and what hes learned about raising children.

Without iCal, we would have no idea whats going on.

It stands for Hustle.

It was originally designed for when we would travel with three little kids.

When youre at an airport, youve gottahustle.

You have toanticipatewhats going to happen next.

Andheads upmeans youve gotta watch where youre going and try not to bump into people.

It has ended up being an enduring acronym in our housewe use it all the time.

On letting his kids have their own domain:

My son has played sports his whole life.

Im not a fan of parents going to every or most of their kids sporting contests.

I think its a terrible idea.

But those are two very different worlds.

The reason they do chores is because its part of their obligation to the other members of the family.

The signs of motivation tell us that people do things for different reasons.

We can do things for remunerative reasons or we can do things for moral reasons.

Trying to combine those two never works very well.

On a favorite family ritual:

We are a devoutly areligious family.

We do not participate in any organized religion at all.

And yet I understand some of the value of organized religion and community building and some of the rituals.

The goal of Lucky Pudding is to get your year off to a lucky start.

Now my wife doesnt run as much because of an injury, but I still do.

Id be a sub-functional person if I didnt run.

And this little guy was screaming his lungs out.

So I asked him to be quiet.

Then I told him to be quiet.

Then I yelled at him to be quiet.

So I stopped the car, unbuckled him from the car seat and put him on the sidewalk.

Then I got back in the car and slowly started driving away.

The rest of my family was stone silent.

My wife was like, Oh my God, I married a mad man.

Thats when I realized I had reached my cracking point.

Here was this little guy standing on the sidewalk in the bright sunlight.

He had stopped screaming because he was so scared.

I drove back and put him back in his car seatI didnt even get a full block.

I have regretted doing that for 14 years.

She was maybe 15 years old and had never done an interview before.

So we told her to think about the questions they might ask and how she might answer them.

She looked at us and said, What?!

No, theyre not.

And we were like, Well, just think one or two questions anyway.

If they dont have a bath one night, theyll live.

If you miss a school performance once, theyll be fine.

They dont have an Excel spreadsheet counting How many stories did my dad read me?

or How many lunches did my mom make?

They just want to know that youre there and you care.

[Kids] dont have an Excel spreadsheet counting How many stories did my dad read me?

or How many lunches did my mom make?

I went through stages.

The first stage was like, Yeah, whatever, old man.

The second stage was, Hey, itisgoing kind of fast.

And the third stage was, Oh my God, he was right.

I have a go at tell other parents the same thing.

Ill say, Youre probably not going to believe me, but it goes really fast.
