Katie: Second Breakfast.

My safe place --
a place I can complain

about my husband
and bitch about my children.

It's cheaper than therapy,
and there's pancakes.

And there are my best friends,
who listen to me,

give me advice,
and keep me from driving

my car into the lake.

What am I talking about?
The kids are too big now.

They will just wrestle the
steering wheel away from me.

[ Sighs ]
I have a big problem.

Ah.
Oliver's taller than me.

[ Both laugh ]

Are you guys listening?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.

Anna-Kat's weird.
Oliver likes money.

I didn't say any of that.

Oh.
Taylor's dumb?

No! Oliver is taller
than me!

I like to look down
at him when I'm yelling.

"Because I said so"
doesn't have the same impact

when I'm staring
up at his nostrils.

[ Both laugh ]

[ Whispers indistinctly ]
I know.

Hello?!

I'm workshopping
a problem here.

[ Chuckles ] Sorry,
we're a little distracted.

Oh, Angela's hot
new girlfriend, Jane,

has an even hotter
brother named Charlie.

Mm-hmm. We went
fancy bowling last night.

Jane scored
a perfect game.

And Charlie scored big, too!
Up top!

[ Both laugh ]

You had a fun night.
[ Chuckles ]

Glad we covered that.
So, Oliver --

You know, Charlie and Doris
really hit it off.

Oh, he hit it,
all right.

Mm-hmm.
Boom-shaka-laka!

[ Both laugh ]

You think you're going
on a second date?

Oh, yeah.
We're gonna go hiking

with them tomorrow morning.
Mm.

We might be a little late
for Second Breakfast.

Late?!

You're late for
your kid's music recital,

not Second Breakfast!

This is important.

How about you come
hiking with us?

Yeah.
Absolutely not.

Hiking is
on my "no" list.

No hiking, no nutmeg,
no fake-ass veggie meat.

But I remember you
saying you liked it.

Before I knew
I was being tricked.

Mm-hmm.

Delicious,
fake-ass veggie meat.

Hey, guys.
How was school?

Eh.
Eh.

[ Luther whimpers ]
Terrific.

[ Door closes ]
Oh.

Mustard?!

Well, I'm sorry you don't
like the mustard

on my sandwich.

Don't be sorry.
Just don't do it again.

Mm.
Dad, I had an awesome day.

We got our Popsicle-stick
project assignments.

I got Fort Trumbull.

Fort Trumbull!
Built in 1777!

A fortification to protect
the government of Connecticut!

How exciting!

Popsicle-stick projects
are a milestone

in any child's life.

Taylor, remember
the Popsicle-stick

Brooklyn Bridge
we made together?

Nope.

And, Oliver, remember
we had such a blast

making our Popsicle-stick
U.N. headquarters?

Nope.

Well, I got an "A"
on both of them.

I'm gonna go do
some research.

Well, this is
gonna be great!

And your mom called me
a weirdo because I had

people from work bring in
their used Popsicle sticks.

You know they sell them
at Michaels for, like,

one dollar
for a thousand.

I did not.

Hi!
Hi, honey.

Ooh, a snack!

[ Crunches ]

Mustard.
Who likes mustard?

I do! The guy who
made the sandwich!

I'm gonna eat this
in my office.

Ugh.

Wait, come back here.
Let's go back-to-back.

[ Groans ] Again?

Taylor,
who's taller?

Oliver. Still.

Damn it!

I've outgrown you, woman.
Deal with it.

Go pick up Luther's poop
in the front yard.

Are you punishing me
for being taller than you?

Yes, I am.

And now I'm punishing you
for pointing out

how ridiculous that is.

It's Taylor's turn
to pick up poop.

No way!
I did it yesterday!

Oh, look who thinks she
can keep track of days now.

Okay. Here's how
it's gonna go down --

both of you are
doing it together

for the rest
of the week.

That is so unfair!

Well, you should have
thought about that before

you let your brother
get taller than me.

[ Scoffs ]
You're insane.

I'm a mother of three!
Of course I'm insane!

So, I've boiled and sterilized
my coworkers' Popsicle sticks.

You know you can get them
at Michaels for like --

I know. I've heard.

Next, we draw up
a blueprint.

I'll need a dozen
sharpened pencils,

a few yards of
waterproof vellum paper,

and one Oreo.

Not for the project.
I've just been good today.

Thanks for your help, Dad,
but I got this.

You want to make
the fort by yourself?

But we were such
a good team when we made

our Berlin Wall
out of German egg noodles.

Which look just like
normal egg noodles, but we knew.

We knew.

Aah, I can't say
no to that face.

Such soft, delicate features,
like an old, sick woman.

[ Groans ] It's your turn,
and you know it.

Boy, first thing in

hmm, well, what we're
putting in these bags.

Me? [ Scoffs ]
Look at you.

Nice shirt.

Thanks. Some guy
shot me in the face with it

at a Knicks game.

Oh.

[ Birds chirping ]

Wait, was that the...?

Street Pics Car?

They just took our picture!

But my clothes!

[ Gasps ] My hair!

We're gonna look like this
on Street Pics forever!

We actually look worse
than the house,

which I didn't think
was possible.

We need to find that car
and make sure that photo

never sees
the light of day.

What are we gonna do?
Run after it?

In my panda slippers?

Think of something!
You think of something!

Oh, wait, I'll think
of something.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Okay if we borrow
these chairs?

Actually, they're taken.

My friends are just
running late.

They should be here any minute.

I'm not alone.

I'm just waiting
for my friends.

[ Chuckles nervously ]

Are your kids
taller than you?

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Hi. Are you here
by yourself?

Apparently I am.

But I guess if you would
like to join...

This is a downside to how
popular I was in high school.

I am completely unprepared
for this situation.

Do I flip the table
or just leave?

Just leave.

And...done!

Fort Trumbull
is complete!

Let's wait for
the glue to dry,

and I'll paint the cardboard
to look more like a lawn.

Or -- and here's
a really great idea --

we put fake grass down
to make it look more authentic.

I think I just
want to paint it.

I used fake grass
on Oliver's project,

and we got extra credit.

His teacher said it was
"well done" and "unnecessary."

Painting is fine.

It'll look way better
with turf.

Besides, it gives me a reason
to go to the Hobby Shop.

I like to go to
the miniature section

and pretend I'm a giant.

It really brings
the store down. [ Chuckles ]

♪♪

They dumped me for a stupid
hike with Jane and Charlie.

I have things I have to
talk to them about --

Oliver getting taller,
"The Bachelor."

You can talk to me.

I can't talk to you
about "The Bachelor."

You're all, "Who's paying
for all these dates?

The helicopter budget
alone must be insane."

You ruin it, Greg.

I'm just saying, one day
the helicopters won't be there.

And what is this
couple left with?

Hard marital work.

How could Doris and Angela
stand me up?

Second Breakfast
is sacred!

I know it sucks
you got stood up,

but it sounds like
you might be overreacting.

You know,
if it weren't for you,

I wouldn't be
in this situation.

With Angela and Doris?

No, with Oliver.

You're tall,
now he's getting tall.

I should have
married Bobby Hudson.

Who?

My high-school boyfriend.
He's 5'6".

He would have guaranteed me
Hobbit children.

Okay, instead of taking
your frustrations out on me,

why don't you tell
Doris and Angela

how you feel about
them standing you up?

You're right.

I am gonna give them
a taste of their own medicine

and teach them what
it feels like to be replaced.

That's not what I said.

I realize that,

but I smartened you up
in my head.

You're welcome.

These are the top ten most
humiliating images

caught by Street Pics.

What kind of person
keeps a Hello Kitty

in their front yard?

The same kind of person
who wears

an "I farted. So what?"
T-shirt.

Like you should talk.

You looked like
a Troll doll from

the opioid crisis
collection.

That picture of us could
be on the Internet forever.

[ Sighs ] If Cooper's
helicopter can't locate

the Street Pics guy,
we'll have to move off the grid.

Somewhere we catch
our own rainwater

and drink
our own urine.

Why would we have to
drink our own urine

if we have rainwater?

[ Door closes ]
We just do, okay?

You know who would win
the award for

loudest chewing of a banana?

Greg.

I stopped buying bananas,

but he now steals them
from work.

What's happening?

Did you know that Greg
adjusts the mirrors

every time
he gets in his car?

What does he think changed?

Why are you calling
Dad "Greg"?

Is this because
Doris and Angela ditched you?

Are you trying to make us
your breakfast friends?

No. No, no, no, no, no.

Greg got up to pee
four times last night,

and it wouldn't be that bad,
but every time he got back

in the bed, it was
like a hippopotamus

flopping down next to me.

Stop badmouthing Dad!

He's nice, and he taught me
how to ride a bike.

All right, let's move on.

My kids, they're
kind of the worst.

Fine, my sister will go

No. I want that

No deal.

No. I've got to go
