making cat masks hello Judy I militar

hot real hot that's what I thought Mary

I just want to see how everything was

going great just great come on are you

doing

listen I hate like heck to do this but

due to recent events the festival

committee decided that they would feel

more comfortable if I took over the

decorations from you what I'm going to

need your supplies way to wait a minute

you're asking us to quit well let me

tell you something lady the Millers are

not quitters oh well then I guess you're

fired okay that we know how to deal

you're firing us from volunteering you

can't fire volunteers I know you

wouldn't think so and yet here we feel

free to come to the festival it's not

like we can stop you from coming we

checked my god we've been fired from

volunteering this is worse than the time

the Salvation Army wouldn't take our

couch well if you want me to break into

our house tonight and get our stuff back

I don't have any fingerprints left maybe

you'll be less humiliating 14 up we just

stayed home Judy if we stop doing things

because of public humiliation we

couldn't go back to the grocery store

you can hold our heads up high because

we tried our best we're going to that

festival tomorrow and nobody can stop us

know what you're right there what do we

have to be ashamed of Oh have plenty to

be ashamed but we're going anyway

[Music]

my God look at Mary she's dressed like a

scarecrow probably got a discount on

that costume since she already has a

stick up her butt hello welcome to the

after school harvest vegetables not this

was a Halloween party well halloween

scary for little children we thought a

harvest festival would be more

educational Oh what are these your

organic oatmeal cookies somebody make

them or did they fall out of the back of

a horse well healthy snacks are an

acquired taste now why don't you enjoy

some fresh lighter our children pressed

it with our cider press this morning

like to stay to press your head another

pumpkin seeds in a cup of soil so we're

gonna dig a small hole drop the seed in

and later today you can take it home and

wait for it to grow will not be fun oh

yes I don't think kids love more than

squash it's waiting ten months for

squash our poor kid she heard we were

kicked off the committee she tried to

fake sick so she didn't have to come

she's miserable you blame our this

party's pathetic if we hold hands and

wish real hard do you think Mary would

go back to the cornfield okay I've heard

enough asparagus is no friend of mine

I'll be right back are you going I gotta

do something about this you're planning

to disrupt this festival with some

stupid prank all I have to say is why

you still standing here

[Music]

[Applause]

how you belong clean out my eyes boy

this is an emergency there's a monster

loose in the school term I can't cider

press oh no he's headed this way look

out kids it's the candy monster kid pull

up all is candy that's the only way to

stop them and eat it before the main

scarecrow lady can catch you doing

everything hey we may have ruined a

recital a couple of cars a hamster but

we save this price excuse me but they

wouldn't even say your party if it

weren't for me I worked very hard on

this and then you people just lost in

here and make a mockery in my special oh

stop hitting me I'm not a pinata your

friend well I guess what this is about

you don't do this for the kid just a

minute sweetie you do this for yourself

because that's all you think that dare

you honey mommy's talking are you doing

say oh good job Mary thank goodness for

Mary what will we do without Mary what's

important to us is being here for our

beautiful daughter my mouth feels it

maybe you have fever you're sick

awesomesauce ina light on you oh poor

thing bill Tina has a fever you know

what this means my daughter is an

embarrassed by us we're not bad parent

she was just sick and we didn't notice

hot

we should probably go how's Tina I think

she's feeling better she liked the soup

you made her she's very happy you put

the TV in her room does she want me to

do anything else yeah oddly enough she

wanted you to rub my back and make me a

scotch and soda can't believe she was

sick all that time and we didn't even

notice we really messed up that's only

because we were trying to be something

we're not good parent no super parents

you know some species an animal don't

even need parents the offspring are

prepared for life the second daily to

warm what's your point I don't know but

wouldn't that be great we shouldn't try

to keep up with a woman like Mary Sims

but we should try to get more involved

in Tina's school like we did with Brian

and Lawrence exactly how were you

involved with our school a lot of ways

how about that time I hope with your

science project the effects of beer on a

middle-aged man

well lorem remember that time i

chaperoned your class trip to the Sears

Tower chaparral you forgot to wake me up

I missed the bus so you had to drive me

downtown pointed out sites along the way

told me to quit starin at the hookers or

I'd get VD let me tell you something

your mother and I may have made a lot of

mistakes with you kids now that's it

what is this American dream for kids to

do better than their parents look at us

you got no place to go but amazing we're

still alive

honey coming to best and I was just

making some more Halloween decorations
