you guys, it is isn't it?

- Yeah.

So we can go on Sunday.

- I've got the church thing on

Sunday.

- Oh yeah.

Are you sure that's what you want,

because I've got a phone call from Bec

she wants to chat with you.

Are you happy to go to

Bible study with her?

- I don't mind.

- Well I think honey if you're

going to make up your mind

about something you need to know the

facts

before you make a decision, yeah?

And at the moment,

you're only focusing on

one thing, aren't you?

- What do you mean one thing?

- Well you know we were talking

about it the other night.

And the conclusion we came to.

- I'm gonna wash up.

- For me, I was brought up with the

Bible.

I listened to stories every single

day.

And for me it was my favourite

storybook.

I loved it.

And it wasn't just a storybook,

it took me a while to realise

the book was actually based on

people's stories of things

that they actually experienced.

- Like, how did we find

out how babies are born?

- How did we?

From people experiencing it.

But how did it first come about?

You know, who made the world?

Who made it, how did

it come into existence?

- Space.

- And how did space come about?

How did it first get there?

- There, I dunno.

- It just was there.

You're entitled to your own beliefs

and to not believe in God,

if that is what you want.

But, I want you to learn

more about the Bible

so that you have the facts.

- My mum has told me a few stories

about the priests at church telling

us

that mum is a sin against God.

And they're saying that God

created a man and a woman

so they could be together

and make new generations and

everything.

Personally I think that God made

everyone

to be who they are.

Moses Moses Moses.

- This is my third time

moving to my third house.

- [Recording] Please take the time

to familiarise yourself

with your nearest exit,

remembering that it might be behind

you.

- [Graham] My second

one was just a carer one

the third one is Matt and Pete,

and this is the fourth move to Fiji.

(Adventurous music)

When I was five I couldn't speak

because my first family didn't teach

me.

(People chatter)

- So the boys are gonna

be here on your visa.

So you're the father.

So how are we explaining me to this

world?

- You could be a babysitter. (Laughs)

- I think that Matt's right.

Guys I think in this culture

we have to be careful

about how we introduce the

fact that you have two dads.

So the idea is Matt's and my

relationship,

that's private.

So no one needs to know that

relationship.

- Like if people say oh that's your

dad,

who's that other guy?

You say oh, - He's a friend.

- He lives with us too and

he helps look after us.

- He's a friend.

- Whoa, that's a big tooth Graham.

Is that a baby tooth?

It is a baby tooth.

Pretty cool.

Can you go put it in a glass of

water.

- Love you honey, we'll

see you in the morning.

(Heavy rainfall)

- Did you hear the rain this morning?

- [Graham] Yes.

- Lots of rain this morning.

- Boys, we have two

things to plan for today.

- Generous friend and such.

- Oh what's this?

- What is it?

Oh she much have dropped

it on my bedside table.

- (Laughs) Liar.

- So hold on, the tooth

fairy not only brought you

one dollar Australian

instead of one dollar Fijian,

she dropped the tooth on

my bedside table. (Laughs)

- You're the tooth fairy!

He's the tooth fairy.

- Okay, Michael, Graham,

you don't believe, you

don't receive, okay?

I can't believe the tooth

fairy dropped the tooth

on my bedside table in

the middle of the night.

(Laughs)

- [Graham] Lying is sometimes

good and sometimes bad.

If someone says, oh have

you ate your lunch today

and you say yes but you actually

didn't,

that's a bad lie.

And a good lie is, oh I have ate

that,

and he's looking after me and

the other one's just a carer.

And that's a good lie.

- So these are a little

tricky to get open and closed

so you need to make sure you

push all different areas of it.

- [Graham] I think it's okay

to lie about having two dads.

Because Fiji is not

really keen on gay people.

- [Dad] I don't think you'll need

your hat

in the classroom, Graham.

(Children recite letters)

- [Graham] if you can't

read, the letters will be

like A A B B all over the page,

like what's that, what's that.

Sometimes it don't make sense for me.

- The OMG oh my god moment

was not what you saw.

It was a short time after that,

it was when the epic match

between the undertaker and myself.

- [Gus] Before I liked

wrestling I was all like

fluffy and flowery and stuff.

(Grunts)

And then I liked wrestling and

I became more rough and tough

and mean?

(Grunts)

(Dramatic music)

Jesse J was then carried

out by the paramedics!

- Just buy the cheap seats

and he can sit there and

have the whole experience

and just be up in the

stalls with every other kid

that can't afford to bloody.

You know?

Really go.

(Grunts)

- The smack down!

- What I worry about is

that the wrestling men

are such jerky men.

. HEY-

- That they're, that they're

a bit, basically hate women.

- What?

- That they're anti-gay.

- No.

- I worry that you start thinking

that

that's the way you be an interesting

man

or that's the way you be a sexy man

or that's the way you be a popular

man

or something like that.

I quite like rough and tumble.

I think it's fun.

But I have a problem with the men

doing

that awful kind of thing

and the way they talk

about women as if they're...

- Mum, they never talk about women.

They never do it.

They never talk about women.

- But you told me there

was something where

some guy insulted some woman,

and some man was going

out with her and her twin

and he came straight away

and he flattened the guy.

Like he didn't, as if that

is some kind of solution

to someone being.

- No he talked to the guy

and um, the guy wouldn't stop

and the guy just slapped him

and then he flattened the guy.

- Well, doesn't sound great, does it?

He just slapped him and

then he flattened him.

- That was one thing that happened.

That is not, nothing like

that has ever happened before.

- But baby there's nothing

that ever happens on it

that's about peace or about

friendship

or about caring for people.

- There's heaps of friendship

and there's heaps of caring!

- Or about democracy.

- I don't know what 'mocracy is, but.

- Democracy, it's where people sit

down

and they talk about what everybody

wants

and they work problems out by

talking.

- What?

- Democracy.

- No, there's no democracy.

- No there's no democracy, it's

all about flattening people

and just smashing their heads in.

- No.

What about tag-team matches?

They're friends.

What about contract signing?

They sit down and talk.

(Sighs)

- [Sandy] It is your job to

argue and reuse questions,

it's his job to listen.

- My mum basically wants

me to have a meeting

with the pastor to have

a little chat about God.

I just think that the meetings
