God, this is just so hard.

Nobody tells you

how hard it's going to be.

Everyone acts like it's normal

because everybody does it, but it's not.

And I see all these women on TV

and on the street,

and they're doing it, and I can't...

[sniffles] I don't know h-how!

I gotta go!

[sniffles]

Do I look fat?

No!

You think he'll want me?

[Tallulah] Uh...

Give me my purse.

You know what?

You two should go swimming

in the pool today.

That would be fun.

- It's cold.

- No, it'll be fun!

Here you go, some bathing suits.

Oh!

[laughs] How cute!

And now, something for you too!

Hmm, a matching sarong and a hat.

Oh, and some flip-flops.

Yeah, it's really kind of too cold.

No, Maddy wants to go swimming.

Don't you, baby?

You can have fun.

Do I look great?

You look great.

I love you.

[Carolyn] You're gonna have a great time.

[door closes]

Psycho.

[baby coos]

You can't have that.

[baby babbles]

Take this crab instead.

[baby babbles]

[baby squeals]

Don't poop.

[kisses]

[laughter]

- You can probably go, yeah?

- Yes ma'am.

Hey, baby.

[baby whimpers]

He didn't want me.

He didn't want me.

Uh...

[Tallulah] Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Dude, come on.

[sighs]

[baby crying]

I don't know what to tell you, kid.

[baby crying]

[horn blares]

[baby crying]

[crying stops]

[hum of hair dryer]

[sighs]

Oh, God...

Maddy?

Maddy!

Madison!

Madison!

Somebody help me.

Somebody help me.

[gasping]

Oh, God!

Somebody!

[siren in the background]

[sighs]

Margo. Hi!

Vera! Ed!

[Vera] Hey, what are you doing here?

I have a book signing.

Oh, you should have told us,

we would have come.

Is it the marriage book or something new?

[chuckles]

Listen, I know we haven't been the best...

We did call you about that dinner.

It's just... it's been
