checkbooks not in here just sunglasses

ah this must be Lauren's purse uh-huh

yours must be around here wait wait a

minute what oh well I can explain what

is she doing with my sunglasses oh I

don't know you have any idea how hard it

is to find sunglasses that don't squeeze

you why are the birth control pills in

lawrenceburg don't freak bill I know all

about them I helped her get that you put

our daughter on the pill they are not

for birth control okay she had some

other female issues that birth control

pills are used to regulate like walk

well this is some of the stuff you

wanted to be kept out of the loop on

remember try me if I can't handle it

I'll tell you to stop okay um the uterus

how can you be sure she's not using them

for some guy instead of her you know

water because she doesn't have a

boyfriend how do you know that because

she told oh she told you we all know

teenagers always tell the truth

especially in a house where honesty is

valued which is not here well I have a

trusting relationship with our children

Lauren tells me everything and what she

doesn't i get out of tina by stuffing

her with Kansas not to suggest you're

not doing a good job with Lauren but I'm

taking over raising her oh come on

you're overreacting driver's license

birth control pills where r this kid's

parents I am officially back in the loop

and I'm gonna find out what's really

going on with these pills no no you're

not if you even tell her about the pills

she'll be humiliated and she'll never

trust me again I'm allowed to talk to my

daughter Oh take a sh*t but the last

thing a sixteen-year-old girl wants to

do is talk to her dad about I know how

to be subtle and delicate when talking

to women by the way the sweater yams are

aces today

with you today

[Applause]

I don't know why I'm taking a driving

lesson from you dad mom said you crashed

two cars I only crash one car but I

crashed it into our other car so when

your mother's twisted logic I guess

across two cars oh hey Ben why because

I'm interested in what's going on in

your life any anything new in school

science has gotten easier since i

started teaching creationism now if you

don't know the answer you can just say

God did it or you can always ask your

boyfriend what's what was his name again

dad I don't have a boyfriend can we just

drive I'm sorry I'm sorry i'll keep the

conversation on driving when you think

about it though driving is a lot like a

lot of other things in life it is sure

it's a very serious responsibility and

you know a lot of people rush into it

you know what I mean yes in fact you

know maybe you shouldn't do it till

you're old a much much older but

everybody my age doesn't dad well that

doesn't mean you're ready why the first

time I did it I was really good and I've

only gotten better

I'm a really good driver oh yeah driving

what what's this oh that must be Nick

shirt Nick yeah I some guy from my

school who was undressing in your car

should I give him a ride home and he got

hot I bet he did that's his lessons over

we're going home no more driving ever

why because I had a friend in the car

who gets hot and just takes their shirt

I've seen you do it at the dinner table

that's a little treat for your mother as

a reward for her fine cooking

mom what's wrong your dad crashed

another car worse he started freaking

out because he found a shirt in the back

seat who's sure Nick DeFalco they told

you about him he's just a friend Oh a

boy who's a friend put those together

what do you get a boyfriend which you

said she didn't have Judy once again

where her parents well I'm her mother

and I'm thinking of getting back in

touch with her real father yeah what

exactly is your problem dad my problem

is boys are getting hot in your car and

you're on the pill you know I'm on the

pill I didn't tell him he found it when

he was rifling through your purse no

privacy in the tub I hate it oh you

really stepped in it no I married it a

big pile of it I can't believe you

brought up the pill so she's never gonna

trust me again he was lying to you about

why she wanted him well she told me

about this Nick he's just some doofy Guy
