Mackenzie's solo is entitled "I Just Want To Sit
On The Couch And Eat Chips."
She's lazy.
Mackenzie, technically, should dance like an 11 year old.
It's the legs not being straight,
the feet not being stretched.
The arms not being properly placed.
So this routine is going to push that kid to the next level.
It's going to make her a stronger dancer.
So get here, and flex your feet up in the air.
Go ahead.
I keep almost getting kicked.
Why am I almost getting kicked?
If your legs are there, and they're going that way,
why is your alignment so bad that you're,
like, coming back to me?
That's what you're screwing up, every time.
Come on.
If this was your sister, we would be halfway
finished with the number. - Well, she's not.
Her name is Mackenzie, and she's not Maddie.
So-- whatever.
And what's the name of your dance?
It is called "I Just Want To Stay At Home And Eat Chips."
No.
She can't even remember the name of the dance.
"I Just Want To Sit On The Couch And Eat Chips."
Hence the couch.
Is this not a couch?
Could be a sofa.
Could be a love seat.
No.
I thought it was "I Just Want To Stay Home And Eat Chips."
All I want to do is just stay home and eat chips.
No.
So the little smart ass is trying to tell me that that's
not the quote that she said.
That we're wrong.
I'm not going to have Abby be mean to my daughter anymore.
I can't do it.
Abby is not perfect.
That's for [bleep] sure.
Abby, why did you call Mackenzie a smart ass?
Why? She just said--
Because she was trying to contradict me.
No, she said, I thought it was I wanted to stay at home
and eat chips, because that's what I thought it was, too.
You don't have to to call her smart ass.
Well, but-- you didn't hear hear the way she said it.
OK, but I don't think you should call her smart ass.
I'll never call her anything again.
She said other kids would just remember it in two minutes.
Kenzie.
And she's like, OK, well, we have 20 seconds done.
Just calm down.
Kenzie, you know how this goes.
She's just being mean and rude, like she always is.
I just don't want to do it.
Abby needs to take something out on someone,
and she's taking it out on us.
But just leave my daughter alone.
She doesn't want to mess with me right now.
I know way too much.
I know so much stuff.
I hope she knows that.
Get on the tumble track.
And I don't want any attitude.
Whether you think you were giving me attitude or not,
you were.
And I'm not going to put up with that.
And if you cry, you don't need to be here.
You need to be in the mini group.
Because that's what minis do.
Abby's being tough on Mackenzie
about straightening her legs.
But we all know that she's taking out her legal problems
on Mackenzie right now, and it hurts because I've
always been so loyal to her.
I've helped her so much through the years.
You have no idea.
I know that I'm a good friend, and I'm a good person.
I could put my head down on a pillow at night and sleep.
Pretty good.
One, two, three.
No.
Mackenzie!
You're a disappointment. What are you doing?
Why don't you know that?
I bet Melissa is flipping out.
She has supported Abby through all of her legal woes.
I think she feels a little betrayed,
and is really, really angry at Abby.
OK, do it the normal way.
See how crooked she goes?
Fix it!
I don't know how to fix it.
She-- in the other room she--
Was having a blast.
Stop making excuses for her, because you would have never
made an excuse for Maddie.
I'm not making excuses for her.
Yes, you do.
Everything I've said, you have made an excuse about.
Welcome to our world, Melissa.
This is the behavior that our girls are experiencing
on a regular basis. - I don't--
I just want you to care about her like you used to, Abby.
I care.
I still care about her, but I expect more from her.
Because if Maddie was any other kid in this country,
and didn't dance, she wouldn't have been in a Sia video,
she wouldn't be in a movie.
They would hire a kid that could act, would perfect teeth.
Let's go.
I don't know if I like this new role of mother of the year
that Melissa is taking on with Mackenzie.
I feel like with Maddie gone, she is overkill.
I'm trying to give technical critiques on her daughter,
that will help her win.
That will make her better.
Why has she gone off the deep end?
When she doesn't win, it's going to be on Melissa.
