- Let Mommy hold you.

- I want my crib in my room!

- Quiet!

- I can't sleep!

Can't sleep!

Hi.

Hi.

What time is it?

You look scary.

I just can't believe

it's over, you know?

It's so beautiful.

I could sing it every night forever.

Well, you'll sing other things.

I don't wanna sing other things.

Okay.

Well...

I saw that Slater guy last night.

His filling fell out.

What?

He's the one I told you about.

Impacted upper and lower.

One of them halfway up to his eyeball.

Won't have them out till they hurt.

Needs to see a periodontist. Anyway,

if you get him, don't charge him.

Okay?

It's a waltz.

That's what's so tragic.

I mean, you could dance to it, but...

But you can't.

Look up, kiddo.

- Let's go take a shower.

- Daddy!

- Daddy!

- She needs a bath.

I'll take care of it. You wake up.

- Daddy!

- Yes?

- Dave!

- Dave is coming.

Megan has her own bathroom,

and her big sister...

You're making wind? I hope not.

I'm going to the store for juice

and a paper. Anybody wanna come?

- No, thanks.

- Okay.

Back in a flash.

- Bye.

- Bye.

You look pretty, Mom.

Want anything special?

- Morning, Dad.

- Morning, guys.

- Pancakes then cereal.

- You want oatmeal with that?

- No.

- What do you think?

- Milk in the cereal.

- Zip!

That's what Mommy says.

That's got to stop, young lady.

- Hello, remember us?

- Hi.

- Look what's on. Let's check it out.

- No! No!

Don't you wanna watch TV

with Lizzie and Steph? Sure you do.

- Come on, you guys.

- Yeah, we're trying to watch TV here.

All right, come help your sisters.

- Thanks for the help.

- Remember the hands?

We're washing dishes

And then we make a cake.

A wedding cake.

Vanilla and chocolate and pink...

Pink flowers.

- I've got doughnuts for the girls!

- Hey!

It's such a beautiful day. Hi!

There's my lovely little girl.

- Hi...

- No!

Fine. Lizzie, you wanna drive up

to the country? Does that sound fun?

- Sure.

- Should we drive up to the house?

Maybe we'll take a picnic, huh?

- Dave?

- Yeah. Wanna go to the country?

- No!

- How about you?

Well, it was something.

What's with this traffic?

- Why is it black?

- Because nature... Hey.

Not so near the edge, sweetie.

Nature is trying to get rid

of all the old things.

- It breaks into particles...

- It stinks!

...and it turns black.

It's a good thing, believe me.

Look at that.

All right, you know what?

We'll come back to this.

Come on, come on, come on.

- Take this.

- Come on. Race you.

- I'm gonna be sick.

- Don't look at it. That's nature again.

I don't wanna.

It's our fault for leaving that stuff

in the fridge so long.

That's nature just trying

to break it all down.
