‐ (Holly): Heather, did you take my phone again?

Where is it? I know I left it on the charger last night.

‐ OK, why would I take your phone?

First, it has no good games on it.

And second, I have...

Where did it go?

‐ Hey, have either of you seen my phone?

‐ Yours is missing too?

‐ Uh‐huh. ‐ We've been robbed.

‐ No. We've been "mommed."

‐ Good morning, children.

‐ This is theft, we could call the cops!

‐ Not without your phones. ‐ So what do we have to do?

Homework? Chores?

Tell you three interesting things about our week?

‐ Get in the truck.

‐ Well, I don't like this one bit.

‐ This is gonna be so much fun!

We got everything? ‐ Yep.

‐ Um, including our phones?

‐ Your father and I had a long conversation.

last night and we both agreed that you need

some time away from your devices.

‐ How much time?

‐ You'll get them back after you spend the weekend

reconnecting as a family. ‐ (Heather): At Waterworld's?

‐ Close.

Guthry Falls. (kids groaning)

What?!

You guys love camping. ‐ Yeah, when we were children!

‐ Yeah, great idea, Mom,

but I think I'm gonna sit this one out.

‐ Look, you guys, I am gone all week,

and we need to spend some family fun time together.

‐ But does it have to be spent

camping?

‐ Come on, Dad, talk some sense into her.

What about the Badgers' game? ‐ The‐‐

Trust me, you guys.

This is gonna be great. (Holly mouthing the words)

All I wanted to do was stay at home

Here are the instructions.

This is the Flaherty house! ‐ I know. Sweet dig, huh?

‐ No! Tyler's in my class; if he sees me working here,

it'll be mortifying! And everyone in my school will know.

‐ That your mom started her own biz to keep

a roof over your head? ‐ Yes!

Just feels weird to work for someone that I know.

‐ I get it, I was 14 once.

‐ So, you'll let me make a quick escape?

‐ Mrs. Flaherty needs the lawn cleaned up by 5 because

she's having a garden party. Please don't hate me.

‐ Can I hate Donna for calling in sick?

‐ I do. So, is this Tyler guy cute?

‐ Mom! ‐ You know, it doesn't matter

about camping! My hair is brown

‐ Yeah, because you weren't here. Just like

when Robbie decided to stage a fake attack to

win Lyla back and it backfired. ‐ He did what?!

‐ Oh, boy! ‐ And then Tyler,

he said my song was "nice" and I was devastated,

and you weren't here.

And I got booted from the musical.

And then this guy was mean to me online,

although he ended up not being mean.

But you don't know that

because you weren't here.

And now you're trying to put all our problems

What if we literally starve?

Does anyone have a match? ‐ I bet Mom does.

‐ If we die out here, Mom is gonna be

so sorry she brought us camping.

‐ But then her last memory of me would be our fight.

I'm sorry I called you pathetic.

‐ Tanked my SATs. Again.

Worse than last time.

What am I supposed to do? I'm not like you,

I don't have music.

Every time I pick up my guitar, I'm worried

that I'll write something that'll make someone mad.

‐ You'll figure it out. You always do.

‐ It didn't work, the musical.

What if I'm not good? ‐ At?

‐ Anything. I'm not even a good person

right now. I support Mom taking this new job,

but I just really miss having her around.

‐ That probably would have been a nice thing to say to her earlier.

Just saying.

‐ I can't control whether the world likes my music,

but I can control whether I'm a good sibling and daughter.

We need to find the creek. If we can do that, we can

follow it upstream. So be quiet and listen to water.

‐ I hear something.

Or someone.

‐ Mom, I'm sorry. Tyler was upset.

‐ You're going to do great things, OK?

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. There'll be

plenty of "Mayor Flahertys" with their big houses,

but I need you to remember that they are not better

than you or me. Do you understand?

‐ Yes, ma'am. ‐ OK.

Then go talk to your guest.

He's cute. ‐ Whatever warm feelings I had

towards you a moment ago have vanished. ‐ OK.

‐ Sorry about my mom.

Since her and my dad started fighting,

she's been a bit more hurtful than usual.

‐ Do you think they're gonna get a divorce?

‐ I don't know. Maybe.

I almost forgot this.

Money for landscaping.

Did good work today.

‐ Thanks.

‐ But I should... I should go.

We're gonna have a battle some other time though, right?

‐ I can't just go around hanging with my BFFs.

Whatever you are, there are rules.

But...

once you and Holly figure out your situation,

I'd be more than happy to have a friendly rematch.

about Tyler and Holly. ‐ Yeah, must have slipped

my mind. I'm pretty sure she's over it.

‐ No, she's not. I mean she's torn up about it.

And the musical and that song...

Holly, she is such a great kid.

And she's got so much potential. She just needs

to know that there's so much more to life

than this petty middle‐school drama.

And that's why I brought her here.

Maybe I just made things worse.

Hmm? ‐ You were right, Mom.

You were right, Mom.
