Little Secrets Page #3

You know what we should do?

We should tell her a secret.

Each tell her a secret of our own.

They're so pretty and soft.

- You're sure this is cool with the 'rents?

- They're Like total animal Lovers.

Thanks.

"Dear Jenny:
I hope

your modeling shoot went well.

"I can't wait to see the pictures.

I have good news.

"My dad has business

in your neighborhood...

"...and well finally get to meet

Like we've planned.

"I'll be at your house

next Wednesday at 2:00."

Holy guacamole!

I'm kind of in a hurry, Emily.

- Okay. Who's first?

- Me.

- I'm aborting my mission.

- I never thought of you as a quitter.

A shift of focus, SK-14.

I believe that we're not the first society...

...to inhabit Cedar Street.

If word gets out,

anthropologists could take over my plot.

I don't know who can be trusted

these days, except for you.

I've been e-mailing Jordan,

and he buys that I'm Jenny.

He's coming to meet me. I mean, her.

I mean, do you think

I could pass for 14 in this outfit?

- Why are you in such a hurry to grow up?

- Because being 9 stinks.

Not as I remember it.

Anyway, that's no excuse for spoiling this

for your sister.

Why don't you e-mail Jordan

and tell him your entire scam?

Plead with him not to tell Jenny.

Explain to him that it could

put your Life in danger.

I couldve thought of that.

Don't you have a better idea?

Like what? Tell him she died?

Dixie got a sister: Noreen.

I was at Greenbacks getting Litter

and a Lady was giving her away.

- Are you sure it's not a boy?

- How am I supposed to tell?

If Dixie gets pregnant, that's a way.

It'd be a dream come true.

I'd better start planning for their future.

Ill keep you posted.

Ants.

Get rid of the candy.

Then go to the market and ask for Raid.

Then get yourself an airtight container for

future stashes. I recommend Tupperware.

Go! Go!

- I want to share a secret with you.

- Oh, yeah?

You want to find out what we're having?

Is that its face?

Well, no. Actually, that's its butt.

Then stop calling it, it. Tell us!

Having your first child in your 40s

is a remarkable thing.

Beautiful, isn't she?

If you ladies will excuse me for a second.

Ill be right back, Caroline.

Everything looks real good.

You told him. How could you do that?

He's my doctor.

For health reasons, he has to know.

- It's my first successful pregnancy.

- What if he tells somebody?

I don't know why you think

of your adoption as such a negative.

We always said you could tell

on your own terms.

We never thought that would mean

not telling.

It's my secret, Mom.

I intend to keep it that way.

What do you think of the name Pauline?

I've always thought Martha

was a nice, solid name.

That's terrible.

How about Elizabeth?

They'd call her Libby, or Beth...

...or Lizzy.

Grace?

Grace.

Can I come out?

This tortures your mom, you know.

She thinks you're going to tumble

to your death.

I Love it out here.

I...

...came out to tell you

something about myself.

A secret of my own.

What's up, Daddy?

I'm scared.

Scared of being a new father at 50.

You sure don't act Like it.

Does Mom know about this?

Emily, this is a miracle baby.

I don't want to make your mom

feel unsure about my commitment...

...or the Love that I have to offer

a newborn.

And your mother is much younger

than I am.

I'm going to be an old man

by the time he or she goes to college...

...gets married, you know, all that.

This baby's going to keep you young.

That's what it's going to do.

I'm sorry I've been so impossible.

I'm really going to try

and be more accepting.

Shall we?

- Ladies and gents,

- The Wit Wwa Rap.

Let's do it,

- "I'm Laurel

- "I'm Jenny

"Here's where Emmy should be

"Wwhap the o wit wwa

"Come along, come along

"Wwhap the o wit wwa

"We're together, so together

Yeah, together we'll be

"What does the wit wwa mean?

It's a secret, you'll see

"What does the wit wwa mean?

Don't you dare ask me

"We miss you so much

now that we're two, not three

"We're together forever

Together we'll be"

We love you,

'Bye, Emily, we love you, We miss you,

Andale, Andale. More, yeah,

Emily, wwhap the o wit wwa,

You've got to tell me what that means.

What are you doing here?

We had plans, remember?

The door was open.

So, what does "wit wwa" mean?

- That's between me and my friends.

- Ill do anything.

No, Phil. It's personal, okay?

So just drop it.

If you do me a favor, maybe Ill forgive you

for invading my privacy.

Bet it's a scrambled word.

I'm good at figuring out that stuff.

Would you just drop it?

You're starting to bug me.

Do you know how to use a camera?

This is the 21st century. I can edit, too.

Introduce yourself to my girlfriends

at camp.

Hello, ladies, my name is Philip, a, k, a,

Fill-it-up Lenox, new kid on the block,

I will be filming the virtuoso today,

The Mendelssohn,

Bravo! How'd you Like that, sweetie?

Going to grow up and become a musician

Like your big sister?

I don't know what you're planning.

I think more than one child per family

is irresponsible.

I loved having brothers and sisters.

I used to play Brahms' Lullaby...

...for my baby brother every night

until he was 5.

- Really?

- Yeah.

But children of my own

are not in the near future.

Oh, no, Pauline, you have to have children.

It would be genetically predisposed

to be a prodigy.

Or at least first violinist in the symphony.

Kurt Bestor comes from a lineage

of Irish accordion players.

What's wrong?

Maybe we should forget

about Mendelssohn and Bestor...

...and the symphony for a moment.

Try this.

- That was really wonderful, Emily.

- That's how Mikey Chan got so smart.

His parents played vocabulary tapes

to the womb.

I have a feeling that Grace will be a flutist.

Wit what wat.

The o wit wwa.

- Which...

- David?

David, slow down.

It's just so unlike him. He is...

That's Emily. We have plans.

Tell her it's not a good night.

It's okay. Go ahead.

So what are we supposed to do?

Can we get him?

No. David's okay,

that's the important thing.

So I realize I have a massive responsibility.

She's going to need guidance from

somebody who knows about pop culture.

That's not going to be

from Eddie and Caroline.

The thought of it

is still making you want to barf?

- You can tell?

- Phil!

- Do you guys want a slice?

- No. We're going to take a walk.

What's going on?

- Nothing.

- Yeah, right.

It's a secret.

- Do you really want to know?

- Lf it's okay with your parents.

Okay. We'll make a deal.

You tell me the mystery

of the wit wwa in return.

Forget it.

It's a big secret.

After I tell you, you'll feel obligated.

Try me.

My brother's getting kicked out

of tennis camp.

No way! What did he do?

He and some guys "borrowed"

the camp van...

...and got beer.

But David said he only had one.

Are you serious? Was David driving?

The other guy was...

...and he wasn't really drunk

according to some tests.

But he doesn't have a driver's license.

That's not all. They hit someone head-on.
