Q like, Old Navy or whatever, and, you know, buy a bunch of stuff there, and, like, we, you know, you, you buy cheap clothes for your kids because they're going to grow out of it, and then, you know, ideally, you give it away, but I don't remember, like, a lot of pain points just buying clothing for them. What was it, what was frustrating to you about that process?
A It was true for me, too, that I was doing the same thing. I was just shopping at sort of the go-to places at the time, the Gaps and Old Navies of the world. But I remember Galen walking into one of these Fun lunches with maybe a glass or two of wine. And she started to talk to me about it, and it was less that I felt like there were these enormous pain points, and more that we started asking these why questions that then felt like the light bulb was going off. Like she said, like, why is it only certain colors for girls and boys? Why are we making, like, crazy expensive clothes that are dry clean only for babies? Why do you have to, you know, why can't you rebuy something that you really like? Because it changes everything. Every single season. All of these things maybe didn't start out as enormous pain points, but when we started talking about them, it just didn't seem to make sense. We had just accepted those things.

Q you know, they grow out of stuff. They gotta buy a bunch of stuff. But I also wonder whether it's a more fickle market in some ways. That, like, kids like one toy, and then it's hot for a month, and then that's it. They, like, nobody's talking about it anymore. You know, fidget spinners. Who's doing fidget spinners, right? Is there that kind of ephemeral quality to kids' clothing?
A I think I would say that one end of the spectrum, sure, there's a lot of fun in shopping for trendy fashion-driven clothing and trying new things all the time, but at the other end of the spectrum, you do want some go-tos, some things you can count on, and one thing that we've really learned even more so over time about kids is that comfort really matters. And so when they find a legging that feels just right, you know, or a sweatshirt that is super comfortable, they want to be able to get it again. And at all of our competitors, everything was changing, even those basics, every single season, so that the next time around it was made from a slightly different fabric, or it had a different fit, or now it had a ruffle on it. And so for those go-tos, they just didn't exist in the same way everywhere else. And there is definitely a need for those, for kids and for parents, so that you're not reinventing the wheel every time.
