"Persnickety."
Definition:
fussy or particular.
- Correct.
Boom!
Definition: nailed it!
Never mind persnickety.
Let's get persnackety!
I've got some nice aged cheese,
including a Danish blue.
Don't be afraid of the veins.
It's very approachable.
[both]
Eww.
The only cheese
I approach is nacho.
Don't feel bad, Nicky.
It's nacho fault.
- Cheese me, bro.
[gags]
This is so not approachable.
Ah, looks like the Harper house
is the hot new hangout.
Is there anything better than
a house full of happy children?

[overlapping chatter]
- Let's go.
- Bye. Thanks for coming.
- Thank you for coming.
- Don't leave.
- See you later.
Hey, no, you too.
Beat it.
- Scram.
- What?
I need the living room.
Mom, what the heck?
I was just accepted into
the most exclusive book club
in Boulderly Hills.
What's a "book club?"
Oh, it's when a group of people
read the same book,
and then they get together
and discuss it.
Why?
Because they like
to talk about books.
- Why?
- Because they like it.
- Why?
- Because it's fun!
They are allowing me
to host one event,
and if all goes well,
I can become a permanent member.
So I have four days
to read the book and get the
house ready,
which brings me back
to my original point:
get out!
So if we're not allowed
in the living room,
where are we supposed
to do all our livin'?
Oh, I have
the perfect place.
You ready for this?

Remember when going home was
something to look forward to?
Now we're stuck in the garage,
listening to the radio
and sitting on paint cans.
At least your can had a lid.
I guess we could
just hang out here.
No, this is fine
for after school,
but we can't stay here
all the time.
The store closes.
And Dad starts charging us
after our third smoothie.
[ear-piercing metallic screech]
[all groaning]
- What is that?
[panting]
Hey, kids, meet Terry the Bull.
[laughs]
It's Terry Bull, get it?
That's terrible.
Exactly.
Can we ride it?
Oh, this is the kind of thing
every kid would love to ride.
But it's forbidden.
You putting that
in the rodeo room?
Well, I was going to use this
for my new office chair,
but that's a good idea.
I could still sit
on old springy for another day.
Yah!
Off to the rodeo room.

Ugh, great.
Speaking of terrible,

She's always one-upping us.
Yeah, remember last Easter
when I brought chocolate bunnies
for everyone in class?
She brought real bunnies.
They were adorable.
Hello, Harpers.

Hello, Madison.
Oh, look.
We're wearing the same jacket.
[sighs]
Here comes the "but."
Buuuut mine's real leather.
Total But-er move.
Ricky, I heard you got 100%
on your vocab test.
That's correct.
Much like all the answers
on my vocab test.
That's great.
Buuuut I got 101%.
I wrote a complete sentence
using all the words,
so Teacher gave me
an extra point.
Teacher.
I could come over
and tutor you,
buuuut I don't want to sit on
paint cans in your lame garage.
Uh, our garage is not lame.
There's tons of fun stuff
to do in there, right, guys?
Tons.
Yeah, tons.
Yeah, it's awesome.
Buuuut it's still a garage.
That's true,
buuuut it's a garage
with a chocolate fountain.
Yeah, and, uh,
a vanilla fountain.
And a business center
with a multi-device
charging station.
I can't believe
you don't know about the garage.
It's totally the place to be.
Good.
Then I'll be there tomorrow.
Bring your tablet.
Uncharged.
See you at noon.
Oh, make it 11:30, before they
break down the breakfast buffet.
Why did you
promise her breakfast?
Well, you promised her chargers.
We have those.
But a full breakfast buffet?
In 12 hours?
I'm just one man.
I'm sorry,
but she's always but-ing us,
and it felt so good
to but the But-er.
So let's get our butts
in gear and but her.
That's another thing.

I'm getting rid of clutter.
These book club women
do not mess around.
[sniffs]
Do you smell kids?
Always.
Why do you wanna impress
this book club so much?
Because no one ever invites me
to join any clubs or committees
because they always just assume
I'm overwhelmed.
"Oh, look,
there goes poor Anne.
How does she get anything done
with all those kids?"
"She doesn't even look like
she showered today."
People say that?
No.
You know what?
I may have four kids,
but I always know exactly
what they're up to.
Nothing gets past me.
Tell you what,
why don't you go read? I'll take
care of the living room.

Really?
Yeah.
Thank you.
Oh, can you call
Hank the Handyman?
That light's broken.
It just needs a new bulb.
Can do that myself.

Pfft. Easy peasy.

Oh, oh!

Hey, girl.
