That forest is

a very dangerous place.

Things in there are meant

to be left alone.

Come on.

It's almost dinner.

Hope you like beets.

Sounds... great.

Squonk, burble, zorp?

Zorilla... zoser?

I am probably missing

some great internet snark

Right now.

Hashtag boring.

Dessert'll be ready soon.

Hope you like beets!

Beets...

hey, aunt Cly?

Do you have a landline?

There's a rotary

in the office upstairs,

But I think your dad's on it.

A rotary?

It's a phone.

Oh, cool!

Thanks.

No, no, I know, Walter.

Trust me,

I'm, I'm going to be working

very hard

To make sure this presentation

is done.

I mean,

I was planning on working

at the office

Throughout the week, you know,

Even through thanksgiving,

but, but...

like I said, my ex kind of

ambushed me here.

So, um, I took the kids

up to my aunt's house,

And I'm hoping

she can keep them busy

While I get some work done.

I will be out of cell range

for the next few days,

But like I said, Walter,

trust me,

I will get this done...

Um... Monday.

All right, sounds good.

You shouldn't be eavesdropping

on my business calls, honey.

Oh, is that what that was?

A business call?

'Cause it just sounded

like you were complaining

About how much of a burden

we are.

Annie, that is not what I said.

This isn't exactly

A dream vacation for us either.

I could have spent

thanksgiving at veronica's.

You know, when

her parents got divorced,

At least they had the decency

to spoil her!

Everything all right?

Yeah, no, it's okay, aunt Cly.

Thank you so much

for having us, aunt Cly.

By the way, the real reason

That dad brought

us here to visit you

Is because he needed someone

To babysit us while he worked!

That true, Ron?

Look, I'm swamped.

I got cleaned out in...

In the...

conscious uncoupling...

will you call it what it is?

I mean, you sound ridiculous!

Divorce!

Okay?

I got cleaned out

in the divorce,

And I am right back

to where I started.

I'm just trying

to make ends meet,

And all I have left is my job.

Okay?

That's not true.

You have us.

I appreciate that, buddy.

I really do.

Right now, I'm just trying

to make ends meet.

And he can't do that

with us holding him down.

Banana...

hey, Annie!

Let her go.

Do you want to...

read the dictionary with me?

I'm trying to find "zorp."

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, that, that sounds fine.

Can you just give me

a little bit

To get some work done?

Old-Fashioned family

thanksgiving, huh?

Why didn't you just tell me

You needed somebody

to babysit the kids?

Aunt Cly,

I'm not trying to take

advantage of you, I swear.

I just...

nah, it's all right.

Do your work.

I...

guess I can read the dictionary

to him.
