And if you do read you might

become the greatest author

in the world or the

richest man in the world!

Or you could just be a normal

person like everyone else.

Everyone reads.

(Calming music)

Tomorrow we're leaving

to go to Fiji.

- Maybe you should wear this on the

plane.

Can you imagine if you

walked up to Fiji in this,

I think you'd be a bit hot.

- I'll wait a bit.

We moved to Fiji for dad's work.

We're gonna have different uniforms,

different food, different house.

(Wrestling plays on TV)

- Three, four, five.

I am on the long road to puberty

which is when you become a man.

Most people say

that to be manly,

you have to like work

alone and walk different

and have these really

big muscles and biceps.

But I don't really know when you're

manly.

(Growls)

- Skin a rabbit.

- Ready, one two three, geez come on.

One two three skin a rabbit!

Here one two three.

Miss sunshine, little ray of

sunshine.

Arms up.

Careful.

Okay, I'm gonna say the first few

names

and you have to say the last name.

John.

- Michael.

- No that's Sean Michael,

so what about John C, C.

- Cena.

- Cena!

And Cody.

- Cody Rhodes!

- Cody Rhodes!

And Triple.

- H.

- Good girl.

Um, the Un.

- Dertaker.

- Undertaker.

- Please don't indoctrinate your

sister

too much with wrestling.

- Okay.

Um, I'm thinking of someone else.

- [Jamie] I mean it though, Justin.

- Yeah sure Jamie sure.

- [Jamie] Alright.

In five minutes Rory, you need

to quickly wash your face.

- What about the one with the girl?

- Don't forget the girl wrestlers,

Gus.

- Who's gonna be the girl?

- The girls?

- This one!

- I love that you're shopping with me

for your mother's underwear, it's

great.

It's a bit unsexy the

whole lot of it isn't it?

- Stylish.

Make it look like you're the Joker.

- Um, can you not do that please?

- Sure.

- That is really not fair.

Do you want a tissue?

- Oh okay then.

- Thank you.

- If it's a tester you can wear it.

You don't have to wipe it off

just 'cause it freaked her out

because of her gender crisis,

but if it's not a tester

you can't use that though.

- They are testers though.

- Well just tell her it's fine

you like wearing lipstick.

Just apologise for upsetting her

but tell her it's fine to wear

lipstick.

Okay, come and help me clean that off

now.

I'm thinking.

It's okay, doll.

Max, you alright?

I'm thinking this?

What do you think about that

for your mother?

- Uh...

- Is that sexy 'jamas?

I said people don't understand

that boys might want to

wear lipstick as well.

It's not that weird really.

- No.

- Just tell her you're

practising for Mardi Gras.

- Hm.

- I'll tell her.

- No I don't wanna go near her again.

(Car honks)

- Beat the car, beat the car!

- We caught the bus.

- I know, but the car broke down

again.

Again?

- Again.

- I know, we didn't see

you so we started walking.

- In Parramatta I don't know anyone

who has a family like mine.

- Gotta get the baby out the car

and Ang has to drive the

car around for half an hour.

- I gave him my number.

- Did you?

Then you gave him my number.

(Calming music)

- Most of the time when I meet

someone new

I go, oh yeah my parents are gay

and they go, what?

Kind of looking forward to

going to high school finally,

getting out of Parramatta.

- You will be starting

your tutoring on the ninth.

She wants you to learn your song

before you even go there

so you have to have finally picked a

song

that you have to know

your song off by heart

before you even get there so she can

do

as much work with you.

- Off by heart?

- Off by heart.

- Okay.

- The lady says you have to know it

before she can work with you.

So she'll teach you some

techniques and stuff like that.

She'll probably teach you

more breathing techniques

because that's what you had

a little bit of trouble with,

breathing stuff.

So if you don't want to

end up going to Northmead,

you're gonna have to pull your finger

out

and make the effort for Newtown.

- Okay.

We don't really have that much money

'cause neither of them can work

mainly because they have

to look after Ashaan,

who hasn't slept through

the night once in his life,

who has epilepsy and it's just been

hard.

- How's his meds going?

- Oh he was having seizure

after seizure after seizure.

So we've had to get in

touch with a neurologist

and they've upped the dosage.

- You're smashing my head.

- He needs more.

He had, oh you haven't

been on Facebook lately,

he had two seizures

while I was carrying him

in my hiking pack on my back.

- Was he asleep?

- Yeah, asleep.

He's always asleep.

- Have your medicine.

Good boy.

Very good.

(Laughs)

- [Woman] No, he's gonna wanna touch

it.

- Oh no!

Don't.

(Whistles)

It must be a really really good

school

for Mum to go to such extreme

measures

to try and get me in.

Seth hasn't even been able

to go to karate lessons

because you've been spending

so much money on me.

Makes me very grateful.

(Melancholy music)

- [Sandy] Thank you lord, for

the wonderful family we have

and the blessings we have.

For what we are about to receive,

may the lord make us truly thankful.

Amen.

Alright, bon appetite everybody!

(Phone rings)

- Well I'm starting.

- Hello Sandy speaking.

So I'll take Matt on a Thursday,

you take Dylan on a Wednesday.

- [Matt] My mum and dad were very

happy

while they were married.

- Probably looking at a Thursday

night

I've got sprinting, long

distance throws and high jumps.

- [Matt] I think it's when

my brother and I came along

then I guess they just thought it's

better

if they got divorced

because they didn't want.

Dylan and I to hear them

shouting at each other.

My mum met Lou.

Lou's cooked for me,

loved me, done so many things for me

that I never thought

someone who wasn't my parent

or related to me could do.

- I'm getting on with the job

with the strong support of my caucus.

- [Voiceover] And three

same-sex couples heading

to dinner at the lodge with Julia

Gillard.

They're hoping to challenge the PM's

mind

about gay marriage.

- Sandy and Louise are

one of those lucky couples

as Karen mentioned, and

they're looking forward

to their date with the PM.

- We just want to go to

dinner and make her aware

of what our situation

is, what our family is.

- You know that Julia Gillard

said she's against it.

Would you vote for any politician to

be PM

on this one issue.

It that important enough for you

that it would override everything

else?

- Of course it is.

This issue is very important

to us, it's our lives.

And when we go to vote,

we'll vote for the party that aligns

with out interests and our policies

and the way we feel about things

and what's important to us.

Doesn't sound like me.

- Your accent is a bit stronger on TV

but it's not that much stronger.

- Yeah 'cause when I get under stress

my accent comes out more.

- Oh ya.

- Oh ya. (Laughs)

Is it our weekend with
