Well, Mommy Margaret just topped

her stovetop scrubbing record. [Gasps]

Another speed-cleaning challenge in the books.

And all during the twins' nap time.

Ahh! So blessed!

Now let's go and arrange some flowers.

Why are you watching that?

I need ideas for the mommy vlog that I'm starting.

Mommy Margaret is super-popular,

but, to me, she just looks like

one of those moms who would murder a kid

so that her daughter could be head cheerleader.

Maybe, but she has millions of followers.

That's how you get advertisers.

So if youwant to be a successful mommy vlogger,

you better start smiling and acting positive.

I've always hated the words "thank you,"

and now I never hear them!

Now, keep that positive attitude going

because I need an SAT tutor.

Absolutely not! We can't afford it, you Westport turd!

All the kids in town get one.

It's not fair that I have to work harder than everybody else.

[ Normal voice ] It's not fair that some kids spend their entire childhood

fighting off a killer clown, but that's life!

When will you stop using "It" as a cautionary tale?

Never! No tutor.

I'll still let you on my yacht, because you're my mother...

but you will never get to drive.

I'm happy to help you with your assignment if you want.

Ah, no, thanks. It's my first college paper,

and I'm writing it completely on my own.

Okay.

But in college, the papers are pretty straightforward.

Professors aren't impressed by puffy stickers.

[ Sighs ] I have to think of a new ending now!

[ Sighs ] I admire her ambition,

but if my own daughter

fails her first assignment at the school I teach at

and pulled strings to get her into,

it's not gonna make me look good.

I stopped worrying how Taylor made me look when she decided

to potty-train herself in the toilet display at Home Depot.
