01x06 - Adventures in Mommy-Sitting

[bunniefuu]

Ooh, this tub is so dirty,
you could grow potatoes in it.

Yeah. We should start
having the kids take showers

before they take baths.

What we should do is move that
toilet about two inches forward,

so the boys actually
get somethin' in it.

Hey, Rae...
is this a new toilet brush?

- Why yes, it is.
- Oh!

It's got a flex grip,
a curved handle,

and two types of bristles
for dual-action cleaning.

Well, this is amazing!

What... Is it sad that
we're getting this excited

about a new toilet brush?

Mom, where do we
keep the extra butter?

- Why?
- No reason.

In the fridge, Booker.

You the best!

That boy needs a CAT scan.

Chels, is this really our life?

My son has his head
stuck in a pail,

and we're on our hands and
knees scrubbin' the bathroom.

It is Saturday. We
need to be havin' fun.

Real fun.
We should go out!

What do you mean, like "out" out?
Like, tiny purse out?

Yeah. I'm talkin' about
fresh weave out.

What?

Now, I heard that up the street,
there's a new club called the Vault.

- We should go.
- Yeah, we should go.

- Mm-hm.
- I'll just call the sitter.

- Rae and Chels are goin' out.
- Mmm.

Right! Okay, great!
Great, thank you!

Bad news, Rae, we're
not goin' out tonight.

Chelsea, you're serious?
No one's available to babysit?

- No.
- Man, I really wanted to go out tonight.

Mom, we don't need
a babysitter.

We can stay by ourselves.

Ha-ha!
That's not gonna happen.

But we're responsible.

Nia, if it was just you,
sweetie, of course.

You and Levi?
Why not?

What if it was Nia,
Levi, and me?

I'd think about it.

Yo, Booker, I got an
"I'd think about it,"

You got straight
shut down, son!

Wait, I'm the reason
we can't stay home alone?

I'm as responsible
as everybody else.

You just had a pail
stuck on your head.

Auntie Rae, you and Mom
deserve a night out.

We can handle this.

Yeah!
We'll do it together.

Plus, I'll be here, Ms. B.

When are you not here,
Tess?

Please, give us a chance.

Mmm?

Mm.

A moment in the kitchen?

If that's not the name

of a Michael Bublé album,

it should be.

What do you think, Chels?

I think our kids
deserve a chance

to prove they can
stay home alone.

I don't think so, Chels.
You can't trust 'em.

They're sneaky.

I can't believe she said
we're sneaky!

Be quiet! She'll hear us!

Oh, come on,
they're good kids.

And, Rae,
we need this.

All right, okay.

I could ask Tess' Mom
to check in on them,

and the club is only
four blocks away.

Okay, wow.
I can't believe

I'm actually saying this,
but okay.

We'll let the kids
stay home alone.

Yeah!

Now how many times have I told you not
to eavesdrop on my conversations?

Let's focus on what's
really important.

We're stayin' home alone!

Chels, did we make
the right decision?

Rae, if the Vault is lame,
we'll just go somewhere else.

Oh, you mean about the kids?
Oh. I don't know.

You guys!
For the first time in our years

on the planet,
we're gonna be home alone!

I can't wait to find out
what's on TV after : .

I hope you're
not eating ice cream!

'Cause it's about to get
hot in here.

How do we look?

Kinda trashy.

Nailed it!

Ahhh!

All right, everybody,
listen up!

Rules. Tess' mom is watchin' out
for you, so behave yourselves.

Also! No cooking, no fighting,
no throwing, no running,

- no hugging!
- Why no hugging?

'Cause it always ends
in fightin'.

Listen, don't
open the door for anybody,

under no circumstances are
you allowed to leave this house,

and you call us
if you need anything.

Anything!

Yes, Tess?

Heh. Just wanted to make sure
I had the right number.

Mother,
there is no need to worry.

We are all mature enough
to handle this.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'm off to enjoy a sugar-free hard candy.

Don't make me regret this.

- Love you, Mom.
- Love you guys.

- Have fun.
- Love you, Levi.

- Love you, too.
- Mm-wah.

- And remember...
- Yeah?

You don't owe
anybody anything.

Okay! Have a good time! Love you guys!
See you later!

Nia, get that outta here.
You're gonna spill.

- No, it won't.

- Yes, it will.
- No, it won't!

Yes, it will!

No, no, no!

What?

I have to be honest.
If anyone was gonna spill,

I thought it'd be you.

Yeah, me too!

Mom's gonna think
I did this!

We have to fix it.

Just flip the cushion.
They'll never know.

Okay.

Yeah, that's not gonna work,

I had a small incident
with a chocolate bar last week.

I'm just glad
that's chocolate.

Don't worry.

I got this.
I'll call my uncle.

how to get any stain out.

Even blood.

Come on, Rae, aah!

Isn't this great?

Oh! Finally a chance to be out
as adults, you know?

Just you and me, havin' fun.

Not talkin' about the kids.

Girl, what kids?
We ain't got no kids!

- Shall we call 'em?
- Yeah.

Let's go call 'em, and then
we can have some fun.

Okay.

will never notice the spot,

'cause the whole chair
will be white!

Do you listen to yourself
when you talk?

We have
to cover this up somehow.

We can paint it. I have a watercolor
set with different colors.

I'm sure we can find one
that'll match the chair.

some time to dry.

No problem.
I'll just stick it in the window,

gonna get away with this.

Thanks, guys.

Mom and Aunt Chels are gonna

tonight used to be a bank.

Maybe they got locked
in the vault!

who watches
What's Lit Chicago?

We gotta get down there
and save them.

- But we're not supposed

to leave the house.

Ooh, you're also right.
