I don't need your mother's help I don't

need anybody's help what's everybody's

problem around here Robbie just bit my

head off to well maybe Robbie wouldn't

have a problem if you weren't showing

him up and they can him feel like he

couldn't do things I'm saying is back

off a little mom said I shouldn't let

him win on purpose well your mom isn't a

man which is what first attracted me to

her because she's not there are certain

things she'll never understand like what

do you like winning yeah do you like

Robbie yeah choose you mean it's got a

loose for him to like me lon

a man needs to feel he's wearing the

pants in the relationship so get that

boy his pants back and then don't ever

touch go near or think about those pants

again

okay refrigerator will put you next to

the toilet TV right in front of the

toilet and now it's a house of the

future I got your ham thank you but I'm

busy wow it's really coming along I'm

surprised really you're surprised why am

I not surprised that you're surprised

frankly I'd be surprised if you weren't

surprised you know it's called smoked

ham but you're not really supposed to

smoke it hey how's it going out there

with Robbie awesome see I told you to be

yourself you're just working out so well

started going better way I started

letting him win thanks dash no problem

honey that's what your dad does he fixes

things there you told her to lose yeah I

just didn't want her to do to the men in

her life would you've done to me what

have I done to you besides knack and 100

points off your cholesterol and giving

you sex no Ben did tiny town lately what

because I haven't it seems one Judy

Miller about a doll house because she

had no faith in her husband and assumed

he couldn't fix this one just out of

curiosity what were you doing at the

dollhouse store just hanging well I need

your permission every time I go to tiny

town oh please you gave up you went

there to buy a new one okay fine I did

but you shouldn't have expected me to

fail can you blame me always bail on

things and then I end up changing the

oil recycling 800 beer cans because

somebody's too sentimental to throw them

away it's not that I can't do those

things I choose not to because I'm lazy

but when I say I'm going to do something

it's insulting for you to assume i'm

going to fail so i should just wait for

you to fail and always be shocked when

it happened well that makes sense to be

insane i'm not arguing with you we have

a system that works we both know the

division of labor around here who does

why me every

it's our unspoken agreement there's no

reason to speak it in front of the kids

it's not it's like taking him to Disney

World and let them see goofy without his

head up more like that than you think

all I'm saying is you run me down in

front of Lauren Tina comes to you to

k*ll bugs and then at the dollhouse

store Brian sees how little you really

think of me I felt very small in tiny

town too well I'm sorry I didn't mean to

do that from now on any contempt i have

for you i will keep to myself thank you

know there is a solution to all this you

could be a little less lazy around here

maybe you have a point there I should

think about that Bobby could be driving

bass acute in the car goes whoop sh**t

in the county on sh**t in the ground

yours while ya eat it in your face in

right game Robbie hey where were you on

those rebound yes I just missed him look

I mean it's not your fault I was on fire

gracious winner a lot of class pressing

easy to fool when you telling us we're

good you know you're pretty smart dad oh

thanks wow that was easy all that stuff

I said about letting Robbie win I was

stupid stuff your mom said about always

doing your best do that so next time I

myself anyway ah that's my lazy girl
