Well, you'd think he would've
mentioned it to me.

Sheldon says it's okay
with him,

we were still friends.

00:07:01,974 --> 00:07:03,880
You had to sign
my vaccination form.
181
00:07:03,964 --> 00:07:05,229
Right.
182
00:07:05,313 --> 00:07:07,037
So, what do you
want to do first?
183
00:07:07,122 --> 00:07:08,858
I was thinking we could
start at the bookstore,
184
00:07:08,942 --> 00:07:10,575
try and beat the lines.
185
00:07:10,661 --> 00:07:13,169
I agree about the lines,
but what do you mean "we"?
186
00:07:13,574 --> 00:07:15,365
I mean you and me.
187
00:07:15,450 --> 00:07:16,806
This is my first day.
I can't be seen
188
00:07:16,890 --> 00:07:18,873
walking around campus
with my mommy.
189
00:07:18,958 --> 00:07:21,764
Well, it's only orientation.
190
00:07:21,849 --> 00:07:23,942
Yes, and I'm quite capable
of handling everything
191
00:07:24,091 --> 00:07:25,764
that I need to get done today
on my own.
192
00:07:25,849 --> 00:07:27,545
I'm sure you are.
193
00:07:27,630 --> 00:07:30,725
I just figured,
with Dr. Sturgis not around,
194
00:07:30,810 --> 00:07:32,545
it might be nice
if I could be.
195
00:07:32,630 --> 00:07:34,856
No one else's mother
is going to be.
196
00:07:34,941 --> 00:07:36,482
You don't know that.
197
00:07:36,567 --> 00:07:37,914
Well, I know mine isn't.
198
00:07:38,302 --> 00:07:40,584
[sighs] You might want
to watch the attitude
199
00:07:40,669 --> 00:07:42,388
to the person who's
driving you there.
200
00:07:42,497 --> 00:07:43,746
Not all the way there.
201
00:07:43,830 --> 00:07:46,169
Drop me off a block away
so no one sees us together.
202
00:07:46,294 --> 00:07:49,161
Sorry, I am not leaving you
alone your first day.
203
00:07:49,303 --> 00:07:50,350
Yes, you are.
204
00:07:50,435 --> 00:07:52,896
For someone going into college,
205
00:07:52,981 --> 00:07:54,794
you are acting
very childish.
206
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,019
Maybe it just appears
that way
207
00:07:56,103 --> 00:07:57,760
because you see me
with my mommy.
208
00:07:58,086 --> 00:07:59,914
Oh...
209
00:08:01,239 --> 00:08:03,794
Boy, I remember putting one of
these together for Georgie.
210
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,286
It is great having
y'all next door.
211
00:08:06,653 --> 00:08:09,162
Did you not hear me yelling
at Georgie last night?
212
00:08:09,247 --> 00:08:11,217
It's okay. I'm sure
you'll hear our little one
213
00:08:11,302 --> 00:08:12,357
crying soon enough.
214
00:08:12,442 --> 00:08:14,200

00:08:14,849 --> 00:08:16,646
Sheldon just learned
to talk and said,

"Father, I have soiled myself."
217

Well, he's a miracle
in his own way.
218
00:08:21,841 --> 00:08:24,396
Oh, you just put a positive spin
on everything, don't you?
219
00:08:24,669 --> 00:08:26,571
Kind of goes with
the pastor territory.
220
00:08:27,099 --> 00:08:28,182
Okay.
221
00:08:29,101 --> 00:08:30,366

00:08:30,677 --> 00:08:31,918
Mary and I have not had
223
00:08:32,003 --> 00:08:34,441
a real vacation
since we had kids?
224
00:08:35,786 --> 00:08:37,411
I like to believe
starting a family

adventure of all.

- Because sometimes

how it's gonna make you feel.
