Parenthood

To see max play with other kids.

You make it seem so easy.

I have the results of the paternity test.

I have a son.

I'm a father.

Hips up, heels down.

Very good.

Back down to your knees, breathing in.

Now inhale.

Arching your back up like a kitty cat.

And exhale. Sh.

Extending out like a cow, moo.

Moo.

Boy, you weren't kidding, this yoga's great.

Shh, you're not supposed to talk.

Oh, okay, I'll stop talking.

And hips up in a downward facing dog.

Oh.

Crosby! You're doing it wrong again.

Yeah, I'm aware of that.

How old is your son?

Oh, this is jabbar, he's five.

- I'm five, too. - I'm five and a half.

I'm five and three-quarters.

well, jabbar...

I think this is what the yogis would call fate, hmm?

Would you boys like to come over for a play date?

If that's okay with your dad.

Yeah, we love play dates.

- Okay. - Great.

Can't wait. - Yeah, me neither.

Okay. - One more inhale.

And exhale. Sh.

- You have to breathe, adam. - Almost there.

- Breathe. - Almost there.

- Haddie! - What?

Come here.

Honey, what about these for tomorrow?

Look. These were in the goodwill.

- No, mom. - They're perfect.

No, mom. Mom, you're not serious.

Aunt julia works in a real office.

I wore these to real places.

What are you talking about?

It's career week, and I get to take Monday off

Shadow somebody in the career of my choosing.

What's wrong with my career?

I can really answer that if you want.

Ah! Ha-ha!

- Okay. - Got it!

- Good job, honey. - Got it, high five.

- Whoo! - Okay, all right, let's do it.

- So cute. - No.

- Here we go. - No.

This is one of those braverman family fun things,

And I'm not doing it. Yes, it is.

Well, I'm going to a movie at 5: 00 with steve,

And mom already gave me permission.

- Sorry. - All right, you know what?

It's fine, we still have an hour

For braverman family bonding.

You guys mount up, I'm gonna go get the boy.

Well, the boy still has 40 minutes left with gabby.

- No, he doesn't. - Uh, yeah, he does.

It's on a gigantic schedule in the kitchen,

And it's hard to miss. I'm sorry, honey.

We can do this another time. It's gonna be great.

We got 20 minutes. We're gonna go around the block.

Honey, we can do this another time.

- Mom. - It's not a big deal.

He has to stick to that schedule.

I don't think we should stop right now.

You're gonna get paid for the entire session.

Come on, it's an entire Sunday afternoon off.

I'm sure there are plenty of other things

You'd rather be doing.

We're really making strides with

His sticker system right now

And I'd hate to derail all that hard--

- Gabby. - Gabby?

I finished math, can I have my spiderman stickers now?

How you doing, pal?

Actually, max, the deal was

You finish math and reading, and you get your stickers.

Okay, can we start reading then?

Get to it.

Yeah. It's nice.

It's nice to live here.

And of course, what 38-year-old woman

Does not enjoy living at home with her parents?

that's a real...

Sounds fun.

I just told you how old I am.

That's okay.

All right, I--you're--

You have a daughter who's a junior,

I kind of assumed you didn't have her when you were ten.

- Really? - Yeah.

You wanna know actually what I was thinking just there?

- Yes. - You've had your arms crossed

For almost this entire walk,

And I really wanna hold your hand,

But I don't know how to do that when they're like that.

Do I try to go for that one, or that--I mean, it's...

So I don't know if-- well, there you go.

See, that's what I'm talking about.

You're--you're so good.

I've got 12 years on you.

That's true.

- I'm sorry. - Oh, sorry.

- No, I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I misread the hand-holding thing.

No, you didn't. Come here.

It's just, uh...

I just can't stop thinking about amber.

I lied to her today.

I was gonna tell her, and then she called me "pulchritudinous."

And I got distracted.

Oh, you think that's funny?

No, no, that means beautiful.

Pulchritudinous.

It's one of her s.A. T. Words. - It is?

She used it appropriately, I'm proud of her.

Thanks.

Dumb. - No.

Here's a thought about amber.

I think that we should take, like, a test run

Where we make out, and we just see where that goes.

Because it would be a total waste if we told amber

And then it turns out that we actually repulse each other.

okay.

* when you're gone *

* all the colors fade *

* when you're gone *

* no new year's day parade *

* you're gone *

* colors seem to fade *

- Nothing. - No chemistry.

- Mm-mm. - No spark, nothing.

- Not a thing. - Just...

Well, let me try it one more time.

Okay, I'm coming!

I'm ready!

- Oh, look at you! - I know.

Do you like my hair? Haddie, honey.

You forgot your lunch.

Um, it's okay, aunt julia said she's taking me out.

- It's egg salad. - Okay, morning, christina.

We're burning billable hours here so we gotta go.

Julia, thank you so much for doing this,

It's so sweet of you. She's so excited.

- Oh, good. - Can I give you some money?

No, no.

No, I'm taking her out on the firm's dime.

Oh, if you're sure, that's great.

- Yeah. - Thank you.

Thank her. - Uh-huh, I did.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Be nice, be cordial-- - okay, I got it.

Thanks, mom, bye. - Thanks, jules.

- I gotta go, okay. - I know.

Bye!

- This one. - Oh, come on.

I know this one.

- Cogitate. - Cogitating.

it means to...

Not know the answer. Ah! Come on.

Amber! - I know.

S.A.T.'s are in five days,

You gotta know all of these cold.

Ugh, "noisy and difficult to control."

Huh, it's weird, you forgot that one.

Oh, that's so funny.

I really am studying really hard.

I'm even using my words in everyday speech.

You can call my mom and ask for corroboration if you please.

Well, I'm not gonna do that.

But I will ask you if you have your ipod with you.

No.

They're not allowed on school grounds, so why would I--

I know you're packing, I saw you.

Unbelievable.

Just because I miss one word, I'm robbed of the only thing

That provides distraction from this ordeal.

No, I'm not punishing you.

In fact, I've been really impressed

By how hard you've been working.

So I got you a little present.

What is it?

You made me a playlist?

Mm-hmm.

So for the next five days,

You are going to eat, sleep, and breathe the s.A.T.'s.

- Wow. - And this should help.

- Thanks. - Okay.

And also take these.

They're very important. - Cool.

- All right. - Thank you. Great.
