Black and white cartoon of Timmy, a nerdy boy with round glasses. Text reads: So the obstacle is the path is like if there's something blocking your way, like a big puddle or the school janitor Mr. Steve mopping the hallway, 'cause that's actually the thing you have to go through or over instead of sneaking around, because going right through the tricky thing is the way you learn and grow and junk. And sometimes the obstacle turns into the teacher, like when I told my mom 'the obstacle is the path!' right before I jumped in the puddle and she gave me the look.

I love spaghetti. One time I was walking to my friend’s house with two Goldfish crackers in my pocket because I told him I’d give them to him later and I forgot, and when I remembered they were kind of warm but I still ate one and it was fine. But that’s just regular walking and eating. Anyway, the idea is just pay attention to walking and eating and you’ll notice more stuff.

Timmy Talks (Too Much) explains: When walking, walk. When eating, eat.
