Mother's Day
1
Ah, Mother's Day.
Paige, come on, honey,
you have to go to school.
I love being a mother.
But what about the other
364 days of the year?
When you're trying to
get your kid to school
and you're surviving
on very little sleep
because you're up all night sewing
costumes for the school play
and you've still got to go
to work in the morning.
Go.
It's about
the never-ending driving
to soccer,
gymnastics, or ballet.
It's about getting your kids
to look up from their computer
or iPad or iPod or iPhone or
whatever "I" they're looking at.
Paige, wait, honey,
your banana, hold on, hold on!
It's okay, honey,
just eat the peach.
Eat the peach, it's fine.
In other words,
it's about being a...
Mom! Mom!
Mom!
Peter...
Wait, wait, wait...
breathe, slow down, slow down,
breathe, hold on.
There you go. See?
Now tell me what happened.
Peter left the top
of the ant farm open.
All the ants are gone,
even the big red one.
Oh, why?
Why did I buy this for you guys?
I swear, I don't...
Hey, hey, hey, Peter,
where did that come from?
You know no junk food
for breakfast anymore.
Dad brought them.
He lets us.
He also lets you go to
school without any underwear.
It's called
free-balling, Mom.
I swear.
Where are all of these ants?
It happened in the backyard.
God. Peter, I'm not kidding.
I'm counting to three.
One, two...
Three.
What?
When did that stop working?
Come on,
I brought a box of donuts.
It's not a federal offense,
but I will take credit
for the underwear.
Good morning.
Hello.
Did you look this good
when we were married?
No, I actually got better.
When did you get in here?
I didn't even hear you come in.
Came in through the back door.
I mean, we don't want the neighbors
talking, do we?
Hmm. Are you hungry?
Mmm.
Here, have a donut.
Your parents are divorced,
right?
Oh, trust me, there's weirdness.
So, Peter, you decided
to invite your friends over
at 7:
45 in the morning?Hi.
We're meeting here
for the carpool today.
- And the donuts.
- At my request.
All right, you little hooligans,
let's go, time for school.
Load up.
Please, you cannot bring this
stuff into the house anymore.
Yeah, but, uh, seriously,
could we have a conversation later?
There's something important
I need to talk to you about.
Sure, okay.
Okay.
Telephone.
Hey, Jess.
I ate a whole
coffee cake last night.
Pilates?
No, I can't.
I have way too much work.
But I've got to tell you,
the strangest thing just happened.
What?
I think I just caught Henry
totally checking me out,
like twice.
Was it like a long stare
or a gawk?
Jesse, you've got to see this!
I'm going to say like a gawk.
What does that mean?
I have no idea, but he said he
wants to sit down with me later
and talk about
something important.
What if he wants to
get back together?
What? No. No way.
I'm coming, I'm coming.
That is so not happening.
Why not?
Jesse.
You are the happiest
divorced couple I've ever met.
I mean, maybe he's
figured you're the one.
Max, get ready,
my sister's coming.
No, no, no, no, no, no,
there's no way.
That's not going to...
It's been years, it's all fine and...
You don't really...
Really, you think it might be?
Do you think?
Here's what I'm wondering.
If you guys get remarried,
does it mean the ring has to be bigger?
I'm saying yes.
Okay, you just keep
thinking all of those
wonderfully deep thoughts, okay?
I'll talk to you later.
Okay.
Presenting our float
for the Mother's Day parade.
Oh!
Wow!
Do you love it?
What is it?
Womb. It's a womb.
Of course.
It's a womb float.
Amazing. And so,
the tube?
The umbilical cord.
It's symbolic that we all
come from the same place,
gay, straight, transgender,
black, white, purple, you know.
Awesome.
I love it.
You're going to kill it
at the Mother's Day parade.
Seriously, they're not going
to know what to do with it.
You haven't seen the best part.
Oh, look at that!
I delivered a child for the second time.
Wow! It's a boy.
You've lost your mind.
I'm going to go work out.
I'll be right over here.
You good?
All good, Val.
Hey, Zack.
Another week,
you won't need the tray.
Another week, and you and
Kristin will be doing my shift.
Hey, Val.
Hey, Kristin. Hey.
Hi, Daddy!
Ooh.
No, no, no, we sanitize.
I literally just
washed my hands.
Doesn't matter.
I could always
wear a hazmat suit.
I'd love that.
The baby books call that
being a helicopter mom.
You know, always hovering.
Yeah, I've been called them all,
and it doesn't faze me one bit.
Milk bottles for tonight.
Can you put those in the
fridge for me, please?
Um, that may not work.
I just found out...
Hey, Zack, can I get two more?
Yep, on the way. Beanzie?
I got accepted into the Buckhead
Standup Comedy Contest.
First round's tonight,
three rounds,
first prize is 5 grand.
Babe, that would take my overall
earnings as a comic to,
well, 5 grand.
Just getting accepted into
the contest is a big deal.
Yeah, of course,
I will figure something out with Katie.
Don't worry.
Just go make 'em laugh.
I'm not paying you
to reproduce again.
Sorry, boss.
But don't mind me,
I'm just the owner.
Vicky,
don't kick the ball in here.
Okay, okay.
Thank you.
Can't believe it's
already been a year.
This will be our
first one without her.
I miss her.
Me, too.
Who's that?
Just a friend,
wondering if I'll be
at the mall today after school.
I've got to answer him.
Is this "him" your,
uh, boyfriend?
Dad, stop. Please.
What?
Oh, my God.
Seems like a reasonable question
for a father to
ask his daughter.
Hey, Vicky,
you know, we should go.
We're going to be
late for school,
and you, don't be late
for soccer practice this time.
I won't.
Mom was never late for practice.
No, she wasn't.
Can I drive?
Absolutely not.
No, look, we're all going to end
up in a place like this someday.
All right?
I don't want to rush it.
What?
That was just like
the old Dad, making jokes.
Yeah, I guess.
So, listen, Dad.
After I get my license,
could I maybe, you know,
drive Mom's Volkswagen?
No, no, no, I'm going to sell it.
I told you that.
Come on, Dad.
Pretty please?
It's literally just
sitting in the garage.
Absolutely not.
Well, thanks for
thinking that over. Great.
I'm Adam Freeman.
Thanks for joining me here
on HSN from our headquarters
in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Right now, I would like to send
it over to Atlanta, Georgia,
where the very lovely Miranda
Collins is on her book tour.
Hello, Adam.
Hello, Atlanta.
Hello, viewers.
So, Mother's Day
is getting so close,
and we have these gorgeous
crystal mood pendants.
It is the perfect gift for Mom.
These genuine quartz
crystal mood pendants
change color with your mood.
Now, wouldn't it be nice to know
if your mom is
happy or sad or mad?
Oh, we have just sold
our 800th pendant!
Bingo!
Oh, God, I know that look.
You hate the float.
No, it's not the float.
It's just all this
