mom please please put down your bag all

right thank you mom oh really stood your

ground in there especially during the

mommy please please stay park

how she doesn't oh I do I've been

watching this game for 16 years now yo

the one where your mom picks on you and

and you get upset and then she acts hurt

and then she guilts you into begging her

to stay like this again they keep saying

it until you listen it takes two to play

this game all i have to do is stop

taking the bait the next time she makes

you miserable just didn't know what no

Judy all I have to do is sit her down

and talk to her like an adult in her

mind I'm still Billy she doesn't realize

I'm a grown man okay but before you have

this conversation give me the heads-up

because I'm going to want to pull up a

chair and pop some popcorn you know mom

you don't have to sleep on the couch

stay in one of the kids rooms they could

sleep that mean oh no I wouldn't work

for anyone out but I do like to watch TV

late so if you need to charge me for the

extra electricity that's fine I'm not

gonna charge you for Ellington listen

listen mom you need to talk you know I

think want to make this visit more

pleasant for everyone is if we treat

each other like his dolls I mean I'm a

grown man really something's the matter

with your TV all the channels are wrong

we have a different cable system than

your mom that's all now what I'm saying

is I'm about amaral is on 42 it's my

house and look what's up 42 years a

little Chinese movie it's the cable

system mom now if you'll just hear me

out I'm amazing your remote is but no 53

emerald there you go you should really

call that cable cuffing get those

channels experience it's the cable

system mom there's nothing wrong with

our TV maybe I should just go oh

alright what was your way again what

happened to the adult conversation got a

little off track by the way the cable

guy is coming tomorrow so you're gonna

help me or what okay the first step is

to ignore home when she's trying to bait

you come on bill why don't you worry

about what those pants I bought you a

belt for your birthday what are you

doing I'm Dan your mom well quibus Oh

Billy if you don't like about you can

give it back can i'll return I'm serious

cut it out bill i am not going to stop

until you give me the right answer

Billy I pleasure I don't like these

minivans there are too many buttons and

this street too far back and move the

seat if you want to but there is a

button involved I know thanks I can just

be uncomfortable God knows it's not as

bad as your couch did you hear me Billy

I heard you I just didn't have anything

dad kind of a smart remark was that

wasn't a smart remark it's just that

you're trying to make me angry and I'm

not gonna take the bait don't do that

what kind of a mother would try to make

her son angry I'm not saying that you're

doing this on purpose I'm just in it

maybe since you don't have a lot going

on in your life right now this is the

only way you know to get attention I'm

sorry you feel that way maybe I should

try to work on that behavior all right
