And that is why I'm not

getting married

or having children.

I did have a fish once.

But then he kept looking at me

with these eyes,

like, "Feed me. "

So I flushed him.

His name was Derek.

Derek Chan.

Hey, let's blow

off work early, go to a bar,

pretend we're single.

And rested.

Either one. Maybe both.

Just confirming

our meeting tomorrow.

9am. Looking forward

to meeting you.

Jack Abelhammer.

Would love to get

blotto, sadly can't.

Have to go to New York

and blow somebody.

Dear Jack, looking forward

to meeting you, too.

Kate Reddy.

Richard, this thing

is a long shot, I promise you.

I have to pitch to him, and he'd

have to pick me over everyone else.

And... the chances of those two things

happening are very slim.

Oh, well, if it comes down

to your ability to pitch

and the quality of your idea,

honey, of course you're getting this.

Good luck at your meeting, honey.

And please don't worry about me.

It's such a short trip. No one will even

notice I'm gone again. I promise.

No! You just got back.

Honey, I know,

but it's just... It's one night.

And I will have this with me.

You call me any time.

Whatever, Mom.

At least you don't hate me.

Um... did...

Did you take Ben

to get a hair cut?

Yeah, his bangs

were in his eyes,

so I took him to that

place on the corner.

Oh.

Oh... he looks...

I mean, it's adorable.

Thank you. I just...

It was...

That was his first hair cut.

- So...

- Yeah, I wanted to call.

I just didn't want to disturb you at

work. I didn't wanna bother you.

Oh, no! Paula, no, it's...

No, you're never bothering me.

Nothing is more important to me than the

kids. I'm always happy to hear about

- any little or big thing. Honestly.

- Got it.

Great, thanks.

- I love you.

- Bye-bye, Mama.

Bye-bye, bunny.

- I love you. Paula, you'll call me?

- Yes.

For anything?

I don't care the reason.

- Bye.

- Come on.

Bye. Bye-bye.

Bye-bye!

The books say

children get over separation

anxiety by two years.

Good evening.

That was weird.

No age limit

is given for mothers.

He'll never have his

first hair cut again. Never.

They didn't have purple tights

in your size, Em,

but I'll keep looking.

I promise. OK?

OK, honey.

Do you want a brush?

What, I'm a little itchy.

Is that a crime?

Oh. Hello?

Today's playdate's

in the park, right?

You just have to confirm

that with Owen's nanny?

Yeah, I have the number.

Can you hold on?

Just hold on, OK?

No, I think I have the number.

Can you hold on a second?

I think I have the number.

OK. Hold on.

Can you hold that for a second?

Can you?

Sorry.

Do you mind?

Hello, baby. Bye-bye.

- Why is this wet?

- That doesn't belong there.
