Hey, there's my guy all dressed up for
his birthday in nursery school without

his mommy.

What are these?

I made them for Sammy's class.

They're chocolate chip cookies, but I
made them with bran so they're healthy.

Well, that'll be fun for the teacher.

Why don't you make her day and throw in
a bag of prunes and a big pot of chili?

Good morning.

Hey. Good morning. I see you got Logan
all ready for nursery school in Ghana.

Yeah, well, Jimmy was supposed to do
laundry yesterday. I left him a note,

he said he never saw it. Wait a second.
I got that note.

You could see where someone changed the
J to a K.

Great. Now we have no clean laundry,
Kimmy.

Well, Logan, this is a pretty exciting
day for you and Sammy. First day of

nursery school by yourselves.

Pretty soon it'll be elementary, then
junior high, and high school.

Then you guys will go off to college.

Probably someplace very, very far away.

And I'll call and ask if you're coming
home for Thanksgiving.

And you'll say that you're spending it
at your girlfriend's parents' house,

though I raised you for 18 years and
she's just some little spank you met two

months ago.

She's going to be fun during menopause.

Hey, where you been?

What are you talking about? I'm right on
time. Oh, but you missed the sign -up

sheet for mommies to come in and
volunteer.

Like I said, right on time.

Good job cleaning up, kids.

Now, look over there. It's your mommies
and your daddies and your step -mommies

and your step -daddies and some life
partners.

This was a lot easier when I worked in
Minnesota.

Come here, Sammy, you little cutie pie.

You tell your mommy that you did great
today.

Did he really?

Yeah, he was wonderful.

We spent a whole day getting to know
each other.

You're a terrific little boy, aren't
you, Sammy?

And he knows all his letters.

Oh, yeah, his letters, his numbers.

If he could just learn to wipe himself,
we could send him off to college.

And thank you very much for the macaroni
portrait your mommy made for me, Sammy.

Oh, yeah, he loved arts and crafts.

He used to like watercolors, but right
now he's in sort of a noodle period.

Bye -bye, Sammy. Again, you did great
today.

You're a terrific little boy.

I like her.

Hello. Hi, Dad.

Hey, what's up, Dominic?

Where's Logan? I brought him a little
present to celebrate his first day at

school. He's over with Sammy.

Oh. Did you get me anything?

Um, yeah.

Sure I did, Dominic. Um,

got you these awesome keys.

Check them out, man. They're shiny and
they... They got cool shapes, and you

shake them and make really awesome
music.

It's better when you just say no.

Hey, I'll bring you something tomorrow
night, okay, buddy?

So how was Logan's birthday alone in
Earth 3 school?

Oh, um, it was fun, I guess.

What do you mean, you guessed something
wrong?

No, it's probably nothing.

What is?

Well, I just... Seemed like the teacher
was giving Sam a little more attention

than Logan, but I may be overreacting.

Yeah.

I'm sure you are.

What do you mean you're sure I am? I was
there, and I'm not sure.

Well, I know, but, you know, sometimes
somebody will say or do something, and

you just, you know, you just totally
blow it out of proportion.

Oh, so you married a crazy woman.

Well, if you hate me so much, why don't
you just leave? You know where the door

is.

I stand corrected.

I mean, I wish you would have seen it,
you know? I mean, the teacher told Kim

that Sam was wonderful and that she
loved having him. And you know what she

to Logan?

She said, see you tomorrow, big guy.

Yeah, she called him big guy. Like, she
got drunk and made out with him at a

frat party and then couldn't remember
his name.

Look, Christine, I'm sure it was just
because it was the first day without all

the mommies there.

I doubt she got drunk and made out with
him.

Come on, it was probably just pretty
chaotic.

You know, whatever the teacher did,
it...

Probably wasn't intentional.

Yeah, you're probably right.

You know, I just... I want our kids to
get the same attention at school as they

do at home, you know?

I thought about it. I'll take the keys.

Hey, Kim.

How was Sammy's big day at school?

I think it went well.

Well? What does that mean, well?

You mean like good? Does that mean good?

He had a good time.

And the teacher really seemed to like
him. She liked him?

Well... More like doted on him. Oh, my
God, she doted. That's big. That's big.

What were her exact words?

I don't remember exactly.

She said it was wonderful, and she
really enjoyed having him there.

That's great. Is that more than she said
to the other parents?

I guess a little.

Oh, I knew it. He's advanced.

I bet you he's GT.

You know I was GT.

That means gifted and talented.

Also stands for Gregory Thomas.

Coincidence? Maybe.

It also stands for gigantic tool.

Coincidence? I don't think so.

You know, I was even GT in elementary
school, but they didn't call it that

then. They called it the dolphin group.
But only 10 % of the kids were in the

dolphin group. The other 90 % were in
the tortoise group.

You don't have to be a dolphin to figure
that one out.

You know the worst thing about living
with a dolphin?

His blowhole.

Sammy's taking after his father.

Hey, look, can I pick him up from school
tomorrow?

Oh, yeah. As soon as the kid starts
doing well, that's when the daddy steps

I have always taken a strong interest in
Sammy's education.

You will draw me a map so I know where
the school is, right?

Yes. Just don't make a big deal about
Sammy being the teacher's pet. I don't

think Logan got as much attention as
Sam.

Ooh, tortoise group. That's got to hurt.

Hey, Greg, hey.

Jimmy, hey, what are you doing here?

Christine wanted me to come down and get
Logan. She thinks the teacher was

paying him less attention than Sammy.
Get out of here.

Hey, there's my big guy.

What are you doing? Hi, you must be Miss
Brooke. I'm Greg Warner. I'm Sam's

father. Oh, nice to meet you.

Sammy is such a special little boy. He
did great again today. We really love

him. Yeah, well, we really love you.

In fact, you remind me of a teacher I
once had in GT English.

I was gifted and talented.

Sam sure is a terrific little guy.

In fact, today, Sammy, you're the winner
of our superstar award because you

really shine.

There you go.

Come here, my little superstar.

We'll take you to the house. Hey, Miss
Brooke. Hi, I'm Jimmy Hughes. I'm

father. Oh, hello. Nice to meet you.
Hey, how you doing? So how's Logan

Logan's been doing great. He's very,
very special. A joy to teach.

Oh, that's great. I'm so glad to hear
it.

Logan, your daddy's here.

Hi. That's not Logan.

Oh my goodness, I'm sorry.

You know, it's just been a few days and
we're all still getting to know each

other.

So which one is he?

He's in the red shirt.

Oh, yes.

Logan, he's wonderful.

Yeah, yeah, just give me my kid.

You were right, okay?

You were right.

Miss Brooke was all... over, Tammy. She
couldn't care less about Logan.

Oh, Jimmy.

Oh, uh, not, not you, Miss Brooke.
Another Miss Brooke. Miss Brooke

And not you, Logan. Uh, Logan's... Run.
Run, Logan, run. Run outside of your

bed. There you go. Go, go.

Run. Yes.

Hey, Dominic, why don't you, why don't
you go keep an eye on your brother,

Did you get me a present like you
promised?

Yeah.

Yeah, yes, I did. But this present is
hidden out in the yard. You've got to go

find it.

I couldn't

believe it.

Why would the teacher just ignore Logan
like that?

Maybe there's something about the Hughes
family that just makes teachers not

like us.

Like a scent we give off or something.

You know how animals get those...

You know, Freeman Holmes, the Farron
Holmes, the Furman, the... Maybe it's

because we're stupid.

Look, Jimmy, this has nothing to do with
us or Logan.

It's Kim.

Think about it. The cookies for the
class, dressing Sammy in those cutesy

clothes, making a teacher's portrait out
of macaroni.

Kim's brown -nosing this book to get Sam
more attention than the other kids.

Oh, please, Christine, I don't think Kim
would purposefully go out of her way

and... Jimmy, Jimmy.

She's not doing that stuff because it's
fun, okay? Kim has always been like

this. She's such a butt kisser that,
well, if Miss Brooks stopped short,

whole head would disappear.

Oh. Oh, Logan. Uh, no, sweetie, not your
Aunt Kim. No, no, no.

Another Kim.

Uh, who lives in the forest.

And... Ugh, grow it. Think what you
want.

Check it out. Look who got the Superstar
Award today.

Wow. Good for you, Sammy.

Look at the sticker, Kim. It's not just
a regular sticker. It's a hologram.

They're expensive.

Miss Brooke's not going to be just
giving these away willy -nilly, not on a

teacher's salary.

I'm telling you, Kim, we got a great kid
here.

Hey,

you.

We need to talk.

What, is something wrong? Well, it has
come to our attention that there's a

situation that needs to be taken care
of, and we're just hoping that we can

really... Stop talking up to Miss
Brooke.

Okay, we'll do it your way.

talking about?

Miss Brooke pays all kinds of attention
to Sam and barely notices the other kids

and it's all happening because of all
the extra brown nosy stuff you do.

I'm not brown nosing. Really?

What about these sandwiches, huh? Who
are these for?

Those are for our dinner.

Little cream cheese and jelly sandwiches
in the shapes of smiley faces.

Greg loves them.

Really?

Is that the lactose -free cream cheese?

Right. Because you know how my
stomach... Greg.

Look, Kim, this is just like in high
school, okay? You were such a suck -up

everything was handed to you on a silver
platter, and because of that, no one

ever paid any attention to me. Hey, I
got attention because I worked hard.

You never lifted a finger in school,
except when you lifted two.

apologize for any of this. Those
sandwiches are for the kids.

Great, great.

Admit it after I went ahead and ate one.

Oh, man, I got trouble brewing already.
Stupid lactose.

This isn't butt kissing, Christine.

This is being a passionate, involved,
enthusiastic mother.

Instead of me doing less, maybe you
should do more. How can I do what you

Kim? I mean, you have a special gift for
sucking up.

You're like the ass whisperer.

Look.

I'm sorry if Logan isn't getting enough
attention.

But this isn't my problem. This is
between you and the teacher. Yeah, well,

believe me, I got a few words for her,
too.

Look, guys, I'm sorry I went down this
way.

She's very upset.

No, but come on. We're all family.

You know, we should be able to talk this
thing out. You know, we're in this

together.

You know what one of us has? We should
all have.

Share and share alike.

You know, ours is yours, and what's
yours is ours. Oh, for God's sake, just

a sandwich. Thank you.

Okay,

Sammy, you be a good boy. Have fun at
school.

There goes Sammy, searching for
something challenging to do.

While all these other little kids
mindlessly play with their toys.

Their poor parents.

Maybe they just need some guidance, you
know?

Hey, little guy.

How are you?

Look, you see this? If you change these
two blocks, switch them up like that, it

spells the word nectar.

Yeah, that's another word for juice.

Poor little fella doesn't even know what
I'm talking about.

Nothing.

Looks like some sort of arts and crafts
project.

It's a macaroni portrait of Miss Brooke,
okay? Are you happy? We're sucking up.

Yeah, scoot your little noses over.
We're coming in.

What you got there?

Oh, it's just a little ham for the kids.

You brought a bunch of nursery school
kids a honey -glazed ham.

Unless they've seen the movie Babe, then
it's going to be a big pink turkey.

I'm not really proud of you, Christine.

The old Christine would have come down
here full of fire and brimstone just

looking for a fight.

But you came down here to do what's best
for Logan's future.

Yeah, well, you catch more flies with
honey, right?

Or honey -glazed ham.

Oh, hello, everybody. Hi.

Here, this portrait's for you.

Yeah, we also brought a ham for the kids
for snack time.

Oh, my goodness, that's a whole ham.

Thank you so much.

And if you ever need any extra help with
the kids, please, just...

Let me know.

Perfect.

All right, Logan, go ahead and play.

Hey there, Sam.

How you doing, handsome?

Hey, we're going to start in a minute.
Maybe you can be the class leader and

help round up all the kids. In fact, I'm
going to make you my special helper all

day. How does that sound, Sammy?

You'll be Miss Brooks' special little
boy. Okay, Miss Brooks, that's enough.

What? This.

All of this. It's enough already. We
need to talk in your office.

Oh, well.

Okay. Uh, Eleanor, I'll be right back.

And Sammy, while I'm gone, will you be
Eleanor's special little... Norman,

you give it a rest?

I can't believe she's still ignoring
Logan.

Kim, maybe we should just give it a
little more time.

Yeah, it's only our first day of kissing
up. You guys have been smooching away a

whole week.

This is ridiculous.

So, what did you need to talk about?

Miss Brooke, Greg and I are glad that
you love Sam, but you're forgetting the

rest of the class.

What does a kid like Logan have to do to
get a little attention around here?

Yeah, his poor father brought you half a
pig for crying out loud.

I'm afraid I don't understand.

Look, you're a young teacher. You're
bound to make mistakes.

But you can't focus on only one child
just because he's gifted.

Yeah, it's like you're doting on the
star and ignoring all the regular

Regular children?

What does that spoke to me?

Oh, no, no, no, no. It's not a bad
thing. It's just that every class is

have children with a basic range of
abilities. Some lower, some higher, some

higher than that. And we understand that
teaching Sam might be a little more

rewarding. But, sweetheart, you've got
to get under those tall trees and shine

some light on the shrubs.

Are you calling my kid a shrub?

Jimmy, that's a metaphor.

Sorry, he didn't go to college, so
metaphors are like...

Can I say something here?

Sure. I give Sam more attention because
he doesn't have any friends.

Ouch.

Excuse me? Sam is still adjusting to
being without his mother, and he's had

trouble socially.

Logan, on the other hand, is
flourishing. He's one of the most

class. He doesn't need any extra
attention.

Yeah, well, we've always made a point of
not giving him any extra attention at

home.

We haven't taken his picture in ten
months.

Miss Brooke, why didn't you call us? We
would have come down here immediately.

Actually, that's why I didn't call. We
wanted Sammy to get through this without

you and become more independent.

Well, I'm sure if I just spent a couple
of hours with him, I could teach him to

be more independent.

Mrs. Warner, it's really not that big of
a deal. Sammy just needs to learn to

interact a little bit more.

Yeah, it just, you know, sounds like the
tall tree just needs to...

Bend down and introduce himself to a
couple of shrubs.

Metaphorically speaking.

Hey, anybody else want a ham sandwich?
The kids hardly put a dent in this

Unless somebody did put a crayon in it.

I wonder why Sammy's having so much
trouble adjusting socially.

Well, maybe I've been too involved with
him.

And now he's gotten so attached to me
that he hasn't learned how to make

friends.

Yeah, I wonder if you really screwed him
up.

I mean, we... Of course, I'm at work
most of the time.

But that's not your fault.

We're in this together.

Hey, hey, you guys, come on. You can't
sit around moping and blaming each other

and wondering whether or not you screwed
up.

Of course you screwed up.

But we all do. That's just what
parenting is.

Yeah, you know, it's like driving with
the blindfold on. You know, you veer off

course, you hit some gravel, you make an
adjustment.

You veer off course again, you make
another adjustment.

Again, this is just metaphorically
speaking.

Actually, that's not a metaphor. That's
a simile.

Yeah, well, my kid's got friends.

Look, you guys, the teacher said it
herself. It's not a big deal.

I mean, everything's going to be fine.
You guys are great parents.

Thanks.

Don't worry about Sammy. I mean, he'll
be up to speed with Logan in no time.

Up to speed with Logan?

Logan thinks the goat says moo.

Maybe Sammy's having trouble with his
social skills because I spent too much

time with him.

Yeah, but that was quality time.

I taught Sammy a lot.

No, he's very smart because of you. And
when it comes to this whole friend

thing, who's to say he's not just being
selective?

I'm sure he'll be very popular in no
time.

Up to speed with Logan. Can you believe
that?

I know.

Sometimes Logan walks into a corner and
just stands there until I turn him

around.

Yeah, the kid thinks that the number
that comes after three is purple.

Up to speed with Logan.

Oh, not you, Logan. A different Logan.

You see my teeth?

I think Dominic's playing with them out
in the backyard.

Rolling down.

Pearl Highway.

The big nest right out of my side.

Standing in the wind blowing hot from
the north. We were born to ride.

I love L .A.

I need my keys buddy.

Oh, here.

Hey, you want your daddy to bring you
something home tonight?

How about a redhead?

What?
