Raven's Home

Ooh, this tub is so dirty, you could grow potatoes in it.

Yeah. We should start having the kids take showers

before they take baths.

What we should do is move that toilet about two inches forward,

so the boys actually get somethin' in it.

Hey, Rae... is this a new toilet brush?

- Why yes, it is. - Oh!

It's got a flex grip, a curved handle,

and two types of bristles for dual-action cleaning.

Well, this is amazing!

What... Is it sad that we're getting this excited

about a new toilet brush?

Mom, where do we keep the extra butter?

- Why? - No reason.

In the fridge, Booker.

You the best!

That boy needs a CAT scan.

Chels, is this really our life?

My son has his head stuck in a pail,

and we're on our hands and knees scrubbin' the bathroom.

It is Saturday. We need to be havin' fun.

Real fun. We should go out!

What do you mean, like "out" out? Like, tiny purse out?

Yeah. I'm talkin' about fresh weave out.

What?

Now, I heard that up the street, there's a new club called the Vault.

- We should go. - Yeah, we should go.

- Mm-hm. - I'll just call the sitter.

- Rae and Chels are goin' out. - Mmm.

Yep! That's us.

Right! Okay, great! Great, thank you!

Bad news, Rae, we're not goin' out tonight.

Chelsea, you're serious? No one's available to babysit?

- No. - Man, I really wanted to go out tonight.

Mom, we don't need a babysitter.

We can stay by ourselves.

Ha-ha! That's not gonna happen.

But we're responsible.

Nia, if it was just you, sweetie, of course.

You and Levi? Why not?

What if it was Nia, Levi, and me?

I'd think about it.

Yo, Booker, I got an "I'd think about it,"

You got straight shut down, son!

Wait, I'm the reason we can't stay home alone?

I'm as responsible as everybody else.

You just had a pail stuck on your head.

Auntie Rae, you and Mom deserve a night out.

We can handle this.

Yeah! We'll do it together.

Plus, I'll be here, Ms. B.

When are you not here, Tess?

Please, give us a chance.

Mmm?

Mm.

A moment in the kitchen?

If that's not the name

of a Michael Bublé album,

it should be.

What do you think, Chels?

I think our kids deserve a chance

to prove they can stay home alone.

I don't think so, Chels. You can't trust 'em.

They're sneaky.

I can't believe she said we're sneaky!

Be quiet! She'll hear us!

Oh, come on, they're good kids.

And, Rae, we need this.

All right, okay.

I could ask Tess' Mom to check in on them,

and the club is only four blocks away.

Okay, wow. I can't believe

I'm actually saying this, but okay.

We'll let the kids stay home alone.

Yeah!

Now how many times have I told you not to eavesdrop on my conversations?

Let's focus on what's really important.

We're stayin' home alone!

Chels, did we make the right decision?

Rae, if the Vault is lame, we'll just go somewhere else.

Oh, you mean about the kids? Oh. I don't know.

You guys! For the first time in our 11 years

on the planet, we're gonna be home alone!

I can't wait to find out what's on TV after 9:00.

I hope you're not eating ice cream!

'Cause it's about to get hot in here.

How do we look?

Kinda trashy.

Nailed it!

Ahhh!

All right, everybody, listen up!

Rules. Tess' mom is watchin' out for you, so behave yourselves.

Also! No cooking, no fighting, no throwing, no running,

- no hugging! - Why no hugging?

'Cause it always ends in fightin'.

Listen, don't open the door for anybody,

under no circumstances are you allowed to leave this house,

and you call us if you need anything.

Anything!

Yes, Tess?

Heh. Just wanted to make sure I had the right number.

Mother, there is no need to worry.

We are all mature enough to handle this.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to enjoy a sugar-free hard candy.

Don't make me regret this.

- Love you, Mom. - Love you guys.

- Have fun. - Love you, Levi.

- Love you, too. - Mm-wah.

- And remember... - Yeah?

You don't owe anybody anything.

Okay! Have a good time! Love you guys! See you later!

- Bye! - Bye!

Finally! They're gone!

Woo!

No yelling.

Whoo!

Yo, Training Wheels, go long.

What are you doing? You can't throw that in the house.

But we're not allowed to go outside.

Yeah, what are we supposed to do now?

And don't say, "Magic show."

I wasn't gonna.

Guess I won't be needin' these.

No, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up.

No feet on my mama's coffee table.

If we break the rules, she'll never trust me to stay home alone again.

Who wants snacks?

Nia, get that outta here. You're gonna spill.

Relax, nothing's gonna happen.

- Yes, it will. - No, it won't.

- Yes, it will. - No, it won't!

Yes, it will!

No, no, no!

What?

I have to be honest. If anyone was gonna spill,

I thought it'd be you.

Yeah, me too!

Mom's gonna think I did this!

We have to fix it.

Just flip the cushion. They'll never know.

Okay.

Yeah, that's not gonna work,

I had a small incident with a chocolate bar last week.

I'm just glad that's chocolate.

Don't worry.

I got this. I'll call my uncle.

He knows how to get any stain out.

Even blood.

Is your uncle a dry cleaner or something like that?

Yeah, somethin' like that.

No, I'm gonna need to see some ID.

Oh, how cute. Cardin' us like we're some sorority girls.

- Oh... - Thank you!

I'm serious.

Okay, gimme a second, let me find it.

Um... so I... I don't have it.

Then I can't let you in.

There's mine, sir,

and as you can see, I am of age,

so I will vouch for her.

All right. You can get in.

- Cool. - Not you!

You got a mama, don't you?

Yes, I do.

And you love your mama, don't you?

The woman's a saint.

And if your mama wanted to just pop it one good time at the club...

would you let her in?

If she had ID.

Listen to me! All right?

I am a hard-working single mother. I need this!

Now, everything I got is taped down, squeezed in,

and pushed up!

All right? I'm gettin' in this club.

Enjoy your night.

Yeah, that's right.

Come on, Rae, aah!

Isn't this great?

Oh! Finally a chance to be out as adults, you know?

Just you and me, havin' fun.

Not talkin' about the kids.

Girl, what kids? We ain't got no kids!

- Shall we call 'em? - Yeah.

Let's go call 'em, and then we can have some fun.
