And you put it away because I don't see anything else. Yeah, I put it all away.

Imagine that.

My stepson's done what I've asked for a change.

Wow. What's gotten into you?

I watch some YouTube videos about being more...

taking personal responsibility and being more proactive.

So I'm trying to...

self-improve myself.

Okay. These are good steps, positive steps forward. I like this.

And it helps me out a lot because I've been very, very stressed lately.

Okay, so I'm going to go get started on dinner.

Probably, like, 30 minutes?

All right.

Mom, you don't have to.

I mean, like, I'm just going to, like, order some food probably because, like,

Dad, he's going to be, like, Working late again, he called me.

Really?

Yeah.

I guess that doesn't surprise me.

Alright.

Maybe I'll order something with you. Or, I don't know.

Ugh.

I don't know.

Mom, are you, like, doing okay?

Yeah, just a lot on my plate.

Do you want to... How many nights this week has Dad been gone?

This is the third night, right?

Yeah. I mean, I guess he's pretty busy down there.

Yeah.

Why don't you like sit down for a minute?

All right. You just seem like so like.

Yeah. Stress?

Yes. That's because I am.

That's because I am.

What's up?

I just, I don't know.

I know you've kind of been, like, mad at me because I've kind of been a bum.

I said it? Yeah.

Yeah. But, like, I just feel like we haven't, like, talked that much in a

while.

Wow, you're cleaning up and you want to talk with me? You're interested in my

life?

Who are you and what have you done with Alex?

I don't know.

I just, like, what's been going on at work?

Normally the number of accounts I have is like three, and now I've got five,

and my assistant was out for the day.

So I was handling, I don't know, just all on my own, and the phone was ringing

like crazy, and I feel like I didn't get anything done. So anyway, I'm stressed,

and then I come home, and then I find out your father's not coming home again.

You know, I rushed home this evening so I could be here for you guys and make

dinner. Where is he?

i guess hopefully it was why are you laughing oh no i don't know

that's funny no no i'm sorry i don't need any more

anymore don't back talk all right okay i'm sorry i just like can

i maybe i could like do something to make you

Well, clearly, I mean, the bed looks great. All the laundry's put away. I

appreciate that. Really.

I'm sorry, I'm being kind of hard on you. You have done something nice.

Seems like you're wanting to turn over a new leaf or something.

Yeah. So, I'm sorry.

But, yeah, it is. It's intense.

Work overload, for sure.

Do you... Do I have to give you, like, a foot massage?

A foot massage?

Yeah. Oh, I don't need a foot massage, sweetie. I'm okay. I'm just hungry.

I just, I, I think I remember, like, you saying, like, to Abby, you said, give

you foot massages all the time.

And you really like doing it.

Oh, well, he did.

Yeah, he used to.

That's for sure.

Well, I could do it.

I mean, if you want, I just. You really want to rub my feet?

I don't, yeah, sure.

You do, like, a lot for us, Mom. Like, I don't know.

I swear, you've been abducted and replaced.

Are you going to take them both off?

Wow, look at you.

So my assistant picked the worst day.

The call out.

You know, picked up two more accounts.

Which is good. I'm making more money. But there was only one of me to go

around today.

I could have really used the help.

Maybe I should have just stayed longer at the office too. I could have gotten

more done.

It's nobody's year.

I'm sorry you're here.

It's okay.

I kind of miss you, Dad.

That smells pretty good.

I've never given one of these before, but this is kind of what you're supposed

to do, right?

Yeah, it's good. I mean, the ball life will get sore because I've been on it

all day.

The heels drive me crazy.

I wish I could wear flats every day.

You're not allowed to?

I suppose.

I suppose I could.

But I like being taller.

Especially around the asshole men that work in my office.

I need to show them who's boss, you know.

Well,

maybe things won't be so, like, busy soon.

Well, I like busy.

I do.

Stress management, that was the key, right? And this helps. Like, really.

Having you on board, cleaning up around the house.

I mean, if you're not going to have a job, at least you're helping out around

here. I'm going to have a job soon, Mom.

Okay. I've heard that story before.

Yeah, I know. I mean, it's a fun time.

I hope so. I hope you do.

Something has changed.

I'm taking positive action.

Positive action. I like the action. It's good.

It's good. Let's stick with the action.

All right.

I should really go get started on some food.

No, we're going to order some.

I'll pay for it. Are you going to pay for it now too? Yeah, I got like a

coupon thing.

Anyway, I'm set up.

From where, Wendy's?

No.

Like, well, Taco Bell.

But they got some really good stuff lately that you would like.

All right.

Taco Bell, huh?

Yeah. All right.

I could give you, like, a back massage, do you want?

I don't need a back massage. Thank you, sweetie. I appreciate it.

Foot massage was great.

Yeah, let me just practice. Maybe I can become like a masseuse or something.

A massage therapist?

Yeah. You?

Really?

I don't know about that.

Let's see if you've got any kind of skills.

I guess that's okay.

It's really tense there.

Feels pretty good, sweetie. You can go a little deeper there.

Maybe you do have some potential as a massage therapist.

Thanks, Mom.

It's hard to get enough pressure with this shirt.

It's kind of making you slip a little.

Oh, I mean, you could, like, take it off, huh?

Take it off?

Yeah, I mean, I don't know.

It's like, I mean, right, I can't, like, really give you, like, a...

Good massage with a shirt on. Yeah. Can you, like, get in there, right?

I do?

Yeah.

The second person is asked to give me a massage this week.

I don't know what that's all about.

What?

Yeah.

Ew.

Oh, uh... So, the CEO, he's been hanging out in the office a lot lately.

Normally he doesn't even come in, but... I don't know, he's asked me...

He's asked me to drink, even.

I don't know, he said I looked tense the other day.

He said he offered me a massage, which is really inappropriate, don't you

think? I mean, I don't know.

And he offered me, you know, to take me out for drinks.

You should, like, report him to HR, Mom.

Well, I mean, I could.

You're right.

But he's a nice guy, you know? I really like him.

I don't want to really get him in trouble or anything.

Besides, I've been thinking about maybe going out for drinks with him.

It'd be kind of fun, you know?

I don't know what his intentions are.

What do you think?

Doesn't he know you're, like, married, though?

He knows I'm married, so I don't know what's up with that.

I mean, but a couple cocktails couldn't hurt, right?

I guess.

That might be funny.

Dad probably wouldn't like that.

I don't know. Like I said, I don't know what his intentions are.

That's so good. Thank you.

I don't know, when it's just placed right across from the office.

It's like happy hour, right? Not like going out or anything.

Sometimes I just want somebody to talk to.

Yeah, I can understand that.

You've got such good hands.

Maybe I should return the favor.

Want me to give you a little massage?

Oh, you don't have to do that, Mom.

I just wanted to make you look cool. Oh, thank you.

Doesn't that feel good?

Yeah.

I've got good hands, too.

Look, I'm already doing it.

Yeah.

It's okay.

It feels good, right?

Yeah.

Did mommy do that?

Sorry.

It's all right. I guess you can't control what happens with that, can you?

No, not really.

I'm not in trouble. I'm sorry.

Wow.

I mean... Thank

you for the massage.

I guess I should probably head out.

Unless I could just, you know, maybe give that a massage too, right?

Yeah. I'm just kidding. We're just kidding.

Alright, I gotta go.

Just, um, can I ask you something first?

Yeah.

Can I just, like, take a little peek at it, maybe?

Uh, yeah.

Why? I was like, what will you show me? I just, I'm just curious, like, can I...

You don't mind showing me?

No.

Yeah, it's okay, Mom.

Well, I don't know where you got that from, but it wasn't from your dad.

You can massage him.

Just from touching me?

Let me sit relaxed.

Thank you.

Mmm.
