How come you're still watching football?
You're supposed to be taking that box

to Goodwill today.

I'm waiting until after the game.

By then, this shirt will be ready to
donate, too.

Even Goodwill has their limit.

Um, what is this?

An ugly old sweater. You want it? I
bought this for you.

And I loved it so much that I wore it
out.

Um, the tags are still on it.

So are the hippos.

Because you said you liked that hippo
candlelight. Oh, man!

Man, that cow's seen better days.

Come on, buddy. She's sitting right
here.

Daddy, can I keep my cow?

Sure, honey.

And what's all this stuff?

Your mom's giving it all away.

First microscope.

This is where I discovered that the
mitochondria is the powerhouse of the

And Beansy, too?

What's wrong with him?

Your mom's throwing away some old stuff.

She's throwing away my handsome CD?

And the big gold cup that Derek
Montgomery drank from?

Don't forget to bring that box to
Goodwill.

You want a box? Sure.

Mom,

I can't find my boots, and I've looked
everywhere.

Wrap your feet in grocery bags and flip
them in your shoes.

I'm going to school, not back in time.

You people keep it down. I'm trying to
get some sleep.

Why is Dad still in his pajamas?

Because, son, I'm sick.

You don't look sick.

I have a bad case of accumulated sick
days.

If I don't use them now, they disappear
forever.

It's an outdated system, and I love it.

Now, though, Mom told me to get the
dancers on Saturday, and I still have to

my dress.

Oh, I can't believe it. My little girl's
going to her first dance.

Mom, the dance is on Saturday, and I'm
bruised easily.

Okay, okay. You know, we'll shop for
your dress on Saturday while your

watching football. Oh, I can't believe
they're leaving me alone to watch

football.

Bill, isn't there something you want to
tell Lauren before her first big dance?

Oh, God.

All right, honey.

Lauren, when a young man and a young
woman get together, They sometimes do a

little thing called break dancing. Now,
take your hands and do the wave.

Come on, honey, and not stop until you
do it.

All right, there you go.

Is that it?

Oh, yeah. Boys are going to want to
touch you. Don't let them.

Nobody dances like a junior high dancer
anyway.

I did.

Yeah, with your Spanish teacher.

Her name is Señora Mendoza, and she
asked me.

Let's go. Okay, Bill, here's a list of
things I want you to do around the house

for the next few days.

Liz, but honey, I'm... Oh, come on, this
is not fair. You've got to lay around

here on your sick days.

I had strep throat.

Oh, don't blame me, because I live a
healthy lifestyle.

Is that a waffle bologna sandwich?

It's a multigrain waffle, low -fat
bologna sandwich.

It's heart smart.

I'm sure your heart's swelling with
pride.

Just do a few of the things on the list,
though I'm tired of being the only one

who's responsible around here.

Mommy, you didn't wake me up for school.

Okay, honey, let's go upstairs and play
the Let's Get Dressed basket.

Like you and Daddy playing when I come
into your room because I can't sleep?

on here yesterday.

What are you doing home? You sick?

Yep. I got a nagging pain back here.

Doctor says I need my sister -in -law
removed.

Oh, are you sure you'll still be able to
tour?

Oh, hey, Judy, you're just in time. Now,
you missed the concert, but you can

catch the second show in my nightmares.

What are you guys doing home?

We need to have a family discussion.

Oh, okay.

I'm all ears.

I mean just the immediate family.

Big family secret.

None of my business.

Call me.

How come you didn't answer the phone? I
called you like five times.

I unplugged it.

I'm sick.

You are not sick.

Thanks to you, I had to go down to
school and get Lauren. She got in

Hi, Daddy.

What happened?

She and her friends were picking on some
girl. They were called into the office

and sent home for the day. Did you hit
somebody?

No. No, they've just been torturing the
poor girl for the past two weeks by

pretending she's invisible.

It's moving into my chest.

There is nothing funny about bullying
someone. I saw that poor girl in the

office, and she seemed pretty upset.

So she's not invisible.

You know.

Kathy Gertner's just a big baby. We were
only kidding around.

Yeah, well, she didn't find it funny,
and neither do I. We did not raise you

be a bully. Now get up to your room. You
are grounded for at least a week. No

phone, no television, no... I have a
dance on Saturday. Not anymore, you

Mother... This is so unfair.

Oh, well, you should have thought of
that before you started playing Worst

Cassie.

Aren't you overreacting just a little?
Don't let her hear you say that. I want

her to go to the dance, too, but the
school thinks this is serious, and you

what? So do I. I think they're making a
big deal out of nothing.

So she pretended somebody was invisible.

My boss has been doing that to me for
ten years. I got over it.

Oh, Bill, just back me up on this.

What if I don't agree with your
punishment?

It doesn't matter. When we talk to
Lauren, we have to show a united front.

Otherwise, she'll play one of us against
the other.

United front?

One of us against the other?

You thinking what I'm thinking?

Forget it, Bill. You're sick.

I know you

think I'm blowing this out of
proportion, but I just feel like I need

point here.

You know, I'm a victim here, too.

This is going on my permanent record.

How am I ever going to get into a
college that will make you proud?

I'll tell you one thing. I won't be on
an acting scholarship.

Mom, you can't keep me from going to the
dance. Oh, honey, there are so many

things I can't do.

Sing, fly, date other men.

But I can keep you from going to that
dance.

This is so unfair.

Kathy didn't even seem that upset.

know how Kathy feels.

Junior high is tough enough without
having someone pick on you. How do you

Because I've had some first -hand
experience with bullies.

There was this girl, Gina Morelli, who
used to pick on me when I was your age.

Oh, she made fun of your hair?

No, she... What's wrong with my hair?

Nothing. It's beautiful.

Keep going.

Well, it was a long time ago, but the
point is, it still bothers me.

That's why you have to look at it from
the other person's point of view.

Look, I'm really sorry I did it. I swear
I learned my lesson.

Can I please go to the dance?

No, Lauren, I'm sorry, but once I give
out a punishment, it stays. Otherwise,

how will you learn anything?

This house is like a prison.

Tell me about it. I've been in this
joint for 15 years, and I still don't

what I did wrong.

Okay, I finished all my homework and I
did all of your chores. I'm going up to

my room. No, you're not. You're still
being punished.

Now, I can't find the remote, so go
stand by the TV and change channels for

It's so wrong.

No, what's wrong is that I'm watching
the view.

Change.

Change. Change.

Change. Go back.

Okay, change.

Change. Stop.

Are you sure?

Yep. Now, close your eyes. Your mom said
no TV.

Dad!

Kidding. Come here.

I can't believe Mom won't let me go to
the dance. Well, she's pretty steamed.

I mean, I know I did something wrong.

And I'm sorry about it, but it seems
like I've been punished enough.

Why do I have to miss the dance, too?
Look, maybe your mom overreacted a

but that's just because she doesn't want
you to be a bully. She's a little

sensitive about that.

I know. She told me all about Gina
Morelli.

Really? She told you about that?

Yeah. Seems like she's still really
upset about it.

She should be. She made that poor girl's
life hell.

Wait a minute. She made her life hell?
Yeah. For a year, Gina Morelli was Gina

So Smelly.

It was like a whole song.

Mom told me that Gina bullied her.

No.

Uh, yes.

Yes. Now, if that's what your mom said,
that's exactly how it went down.

Hi, honey. Look who was trying to sneak
a look at the TV.

Now you get upstairs without talking to
your mother.

Dad told me the truth about Gina
Morelli. What?

You bullied her. I can't believe you
made me feel bad for you when it was all

big lie.

I can't believe you told her I was the
bully.

If you're going to lie to our kids,
you've got to fill me in. I was not

this lie.

Oh, my God.

This is not my fault.

I'm fault free.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a sick
day to enjoy.

Lauren, this is not about what I did.
Everything I told you before was for

own good.

You overreacted, Mom. Even Dad said so.

Bill!

A new fault -free could last.

You told her I overreacted?

What happened to our united front?

I can wait here longer than you can do
that.

I can't believe you broke the United
Front. Me?

You're the one who lied to our child.
What kind of a United Front is that?

Maybe I think we shouldn't lie to our
children.

You once told the kids that if they
washed the car, it would bring back

dead goldfish.

My father did the same thing to me, so
it isn't a lie, it's a family tradition.

Why didn't you just tell her the truth?

Because you can't teach a 13 -year -old
a lesson by telling him you did the same

thing. All they hear is, my mom did it,
so I can do it, too.

Besides, Bill, this isn't about a lie.
This all happened because you didn't

me up like we agreed.

We didn't agree. I had no choice. You
pushed me into it. So you honestly

that I'm being too hard on Lauren?

I'm all for punishing our kids, but
you've been looking forward to this

It's almost like we're punishing
ourselves.

That's how I feel.

If that's all right with you.

All right. Fine.

Lauren, can you come here, please?

What are you doing? What's happening
here?

What? For now, I'm your father's in
charge of your punishment. I'm done.

Billy, you have total authority.

Really? Really.

So Dad can't go to the dance?

Well, after careful consideration...

I have decided that Lauren can go to the
dance.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. My
decree is final. Next order of business.

Well, since the dance is tomorrow night,
we're going to have to get you a dress.

Dad can take me. What?

What?

Fine, then you're taking her to buy a
dress for her first dance.

Yes. Yes, I am.

Thank you, Daddy.

You have no idea what you're in for.

My next decree is that you will walk
away angrily.

And you will give me the finger.

Tina, what are you doing?

I want to dance like Lauren.

Did you get into Mommy's makeup?

No. What's that all over your face?

Nothing. I'm just pretty.

Why don't you go wash a little of the
pretty off your face?

Well, we're heading out to the mall.
We'll be home in a half hour or so.

To shop for a dress, you have no idea
what you're in for.

Come on, Judy. It's a kid's dress.

I'm almost ready, Dad.

Did you remind her to take her heels?

Yes.

Lauren, I'm reminding you again to bring
your heels.

Thanks, Dad. You don't even know what
they're for.

I do, too.

She needs them for when she's trying on
a hat. A hat. A dress, Bill.

No, I'm not an idiot.

And if she buys a dress that's at all
see -through, you need a full slip. And

stay away from anything that's A -line
and no ruffles. Oh, and try to find

something in purple. She looks so
beautiful in purple. And whatever you

not buy... What? Do not buy what?

Come on, Dad. Let's go.

Bye, Mom.

Have fun.

Go get in the car, sweetie. I, uh...
Forgot my keys.

Taffeta.

Taffeta. Poofy.

Taffeta. Thanks.

Dad, we have been here for three hours
and we still can't find a dress. What

we going to do? Don't worry. We'll find
one.

How about this one? It says, Glamour
Gal. That's good.

It also says, Keep away from open
flames.

Even better. Keep you from smoking.

Hey, this... This one's actually kind of
cute. You see, we found one. Let's go.

I have to try it on.

Dad, why do you only have one pile of
dresses?

That's what you gave me.

No, I gave you two piles.

Did you mix up the maybes with the
forsures?

Maybe.

Okay. These are the forsures.

And these are the maybes.

I'm going to try on a few of the maybes.
Well, why don't you just try on the

forsures?

Because a maybe can be a forsure, but a
forsure can never be a maybe.

I guess you're right.

My headache started as a maybe and now
it's a for sure.

Excuse me. Are you going to buy that
dress?

Maybe. For sure.

I have no idea.

Oh, your shoe's untied.

Oh, thank you.

Hey, I'm wearing loafers.

Those are mine. You work here. Stop
them.

I'm doing what? Shopping?

All right. Well, these are no good.

I think I'm going to try on that purple
dress that I found.

Then where's the purple dress?

I put it down for one second.

What? That was the first shirt pile. You
never put that down.

The dance is in three hours, and I won't
have anything to wear.

We're in a room full of hundreds of
dresses. There's got to be something to

wear. Look, that girl found something.

That's my purple dress.

Well, I'm sure there's one just like it
here somewhere.

Yeah, in red.

So red's pretty.

Look at my hair.

I'll look like a giant bottle of
ketchup.

Ketchup goes with everything.

All right, I'm here. And I know you
think I overreacted, but we'll talk

that later because I'm not going to miss
this moment with my daughter.

Now, wait a second.

You put me in charge, and I think Laura
and I are doing just fine.

Oh, Mom, thank God you're here.

Oh, Dad screwed everything up. I picked
out the perfect dress, and then Dad gave

it away.

I put it down for one second.

put it down. You never put anything
down.

I know that now.

All right, Bill, why don't you go to the
food court and get something on a

stick? Good idea.

I'll put it in my for -sure pile.

All right, Warren, you and I still have
a lot to discuss, and just because I'm

here doesn't mean that you're not still
grounded after tonight.

I know, Mom.

Okay, who has your dress, sweetie?

That lady over there.

Excuse me.

I think there's been a little
misunderstanding.

You have the dress that my daughter
already picked out.

I don't see your name on it.

Well, my husband took her shopping, and
he doesn't know all the rules, and he

accidentally set it down.

How's that my problem?

Look, I'm in the process of teaching my
daughter to have respect for other

people, so I am not going to bully you
to get that dress back. That'd be wrong.

I'm not going to make a threatening
gesture.

That's the wrong message.

So I'm just going to ask you nicely if
you'd please give me back that dress so

my daughter's first dance could be the
happiest day of her life.

Take it.

That is so sweet. Thank you. God bless.

Mom, you're the best.

Lauren, you look so beautiful.

Yeah, she's gorgeous.

I remember my first dance.

Wore the most beautiful dress with
ruffles and lace. I felt like a little

princess.

And Dad came in and said how great Judy
looked in the dress the year before.

This is your night. I'll go get the
camera.

Lauren, since this is your first dance,
I bought you a little something.

Oh, Mom, it's beautiful. Thank you.

Lauren, I'm sorry for lying to you.

It's just that, you know, you're my
daughter, and I know that you're going

take after me a little, and I was hoping
it would be the good parts and, you

know, not the bad.

There's a couple of parts of you I wish
I had right now.

Oh, honey, those will come, too.

But for now, just enjoy the fact that
the boys still notice the color of your

eyes.

Hey, Judy, where's Lauren? Her ride's
here.

Dad, I'm right here.

I don't see Lauren. I see some other
girl who's much too grown -up looking to

Lauren. Oh, Dad.

Bill, you could just tell her she looks
nice.

She does look nice.

Except there's a little something
missing that I think would look great

that outfit.

Bill, are you okay?

Just a second.

I'm sure it's in here somewhere.

There's a little bit of crap in here.

Hi, I'm looking for Gina Morelli.

Oh, hi.

This is...

You know what? You would know me from
junior high as Judy Michaels.

Oh, you do remember me.

Yeah, I probably do deserve that.

I was just calling because I wanted to
apologize for the hard time I used to

give you.

Oh. Well, I'm glad to hear that.

So what have you been up to?

Ah, you're a surgeon. Good for you.

Big fancy house. That's great.

Wow.

Me? Oh, um, I ended up marrying Bill
Miller.

What's so funny?

He's not.

Stop laughing.

Stop it.

Stop it!

Oh, yeah?

Well, you're still smelly, smelly
Morelli.

As a matter of fact, I can smell you
through the phone, you stink bomb.

Did you call her?

Oh, yeah, I feel all better.

Wouldn't have it any other way.
