but you can.

Whatever it is, we'll get through it,

if we're committed.

I don't know.

Zack, I just...

I don't know. Um...

I don't know either.

So, do you want to take a break?

What? No, never.

I just... I need

a little bit more time.

I won't wait forever.

I know, I'll take it.

I'll take it.

Can I have a kiss, too?

Mama wants a kiss.

Oh, thank you.

Mama kiss.

- Mama kiss.

- Mama kiss.

Sandy?

Hi.

Hi.

Hey!

Hi, hi, hi.

Hi, hello.

This is my friend Kristin.

Hey, Kristin.

That's her little one, Katie.

Kristin and I met

at Mommy and Me.

Oh, sweet.

So, how'd it go?

I got the interview.

Great.

I don't know what's going to happen,

but, you know,

at least I... I'm just

hoping to have something

to keep my mind

off of all of the...

- Yeah.

- You know.

So, Sandy's ex-husband

just got remarried...

Oh...

...to, like, a 12-year-old.

Oh!

Yeah. So...

Well, I was actually going to say

carpooling and bagging lunches,

- but, you know, or that.

- Okay, I'm sorry!

I'd like to get my

mind off of that.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry!

No, it was just,

we were on the topic of marriage

and she's got cold feet, which is...

Oh...

I get that.

I get that.

So, that's what's happening here.

Yeah.

Hi!

- Yeah, we get it.

- But you know what?

You don't know until you give

it a shot is the truth, right?

Yeah.

Really? Were you, like, sure?

Uh-uh.

Are you ever sure?

I was sure.

You were sure?

You were totally sure?

100%, going Indian all the way.

Huh. I mean, I was 100%

certain I wanted kids.

Yeah, well, that, of course.

I mean, I can't imagine...

Just the other stuff I don't know about.

Well, that's you guys.

I'm not the best person

to be giving marital advice.

No, no, I do need to hear

because it's the divorce

thing that scares me,

because I don't know what that

would be like for her and...

You don't go into a marriage thinking

you're going to get a divorce.

- Obviously.

- Nobody does.

You know,

life happens and if it does,

then you've got a lot

more closet space...

Yeah.

Extra sink, no snoring,

you know, a lot of positives.

Yeah.

You're really just doing what's

best for the kids, right?

And yourself, but the kids.

By the way, your child is

eating sand, if you...

Tanner, don't eat that.

There's cat poop in it.

That's so gross.

What if there is cat poop...

No, he's fine.

They survive...

Cat poop... and then they

grow up to be just like us.

Yeah, and they have

a very healthy immune system.

- Anyway, I'm going to go to the kids' show.

- Okay.

Hey, if you're going to come,

will you just text me?

It was nice meeting you.

Nice to meet you.

And I'll save you a seat?

Yes.

Okay, or tweet at me.

Yeah, I'll text...

I'll tweet...

What? Tweet you?

- Yeah, see, right? That didn't sound right.

- Mmm-mmm.

What is that?

I was just trying it out.

Okay, bye.

Kristin, what's wrong?

What happened?

Are you okay?

I love Zack, but there's a

reason I'm afraid of marriage.

Um...

The truth is I have no

idea who the hell I am.

That's a big one.

I was adopted.

Oh, okay.

And I never met my

biological mother.

You never told me that.

Never told anyone

that, only Zack.

And I've always wondered,

did she just throw me away?

Or, you know, was there a

reason she got rid of me?

Aw.

I have abandonment issues.

Honey, I'm sure you have

a million questions,

but then you know

what you have to do.

You have to find your mother.

I already did.

Then I'm missing the point.

I've no...

What do you mean?

I mean, I have her address,

I just haven't had

the courage to contact her.

I'm really scared.

God, of course. That's...

Who wouldn't be?

I mean, that's crazy.

You don't even know what

she's going to be like.

You don't even know your mother

and she has this power over you.

You're going to have to

face it sooner or later.

You can do it.

Really?

Yes, you should just do it.

Yeah.

You're right, you're right,

you're right.

Okay.

Yeah, and get it over with.

You're, you know...

I mean, now you'll face it.

Yeah, I'm going to do it.

You're right, you're right, you're right.

I'm going to do it. I got it.

You will have it.

Thanks, Jess.

Hi, I'm Bobby Lee,

principal here at Millard

Fillmore Middle School.

And we're really

excited about this show.

We're gonna start

in a few minutes.

The kids are very excited and later,

we're going to be...

Sandy, hi.

...featuring the Fillmore band in concert.

How about that?

What are you doing here?

I didn't think

you'd mind. Here.

I kind of mind.

I had to hear Peter's riff.

We were up late last

night working on it.

You were

working on Peter's riff?

Yeah, I was in an

all-girl band in high school.

My gosh, Peter's gotten so good.

You know, we just want

to encourage his music,

so we're taking the boys to the Foo

Fighters concert this weekend. But...

What? Don't say

anything to Peter.

It's a surprise.

And don't even get me

started on Dave Grohl.

Don't tell Henry.

Okay, Tina, Tina, Tina,

Tina, that's it.

I'm done. I'm done

with surprises.

I really am. This week,

enough surprises, seriously.

Okay, is something wrong?

Yes, something is wrong.

I got here an hour early,

so I could get a front row seat,

and have a perfect camera

angle and watch my children.

And now you're sitting

right here next to me.

Because the seat was open.

It was for my purse, my purse's seat, okay?

My purse's seat is right here.

God, you cannot just show up

here late and then sit there.

You just can't

do that. We need...

We need boundaries.

We need some rules, Tina.

Rules?

Like, sitting in an open seat?

I don't know what

the rules are yet, Tina.

I don't know what they are,

but I just know we have them,

and you're breaking all of them.

Okay.

- I've just gotta get...

- Ladies and gentlemen,

Animals on Parade!

Old MacDonald had a farm

Ee I ee I oh

And on his farm

he had a penguin...

What, why?

He also had a helper, it seems.

Oh, there's Mikey.

Hi, honey.

A lion! He's got a...

Oh, my God,

the costume's on backwards.

He had a lion...

Did you do that?

Peter.

Don't touch it, don't touch it.

Ee I ee I oh

Yeah, that's good.

The producers have asked

to push the crystals.

Traffic has slowed down.

Five, four, three, two...

Welcome back, everyone.

All right, dads and husbands,

take a look at these

beautiful mood pendants.

Mother's Day, just a few days away,

this is your chance.

And we're clear.

We need a price check

on organic cotton...

No, that's not necessary.

They are...

They're 9 bucks.

They're 9 bucks each.

Cancel that price check on tampons,

the organic cotton ones.

Daughter?

Oh, uh, yeah.

Two actually, but only one is currently,

you know, becoming a woman.

Got you.

Yeah, their mom

used to do this, but...

Well, I do it now.

Same boat, two sons.

How is that the same boat?

I guess just the number.

Sorry, I don't usually eavesdrop

on other people's carts.
