- Parents, can I just see some romantic gesture?
Anything.
(laughs)
I need you back in the line.
(laughs)
- [Instructor] Hello.
- Hi, my name is April.
- I'm Talbet.
- And I'm Vanessa.
- And we're twins.
- [Instructor] What are you guys doing today?
- Matching kids to parents.
- [Instructor] Any tactics you guys think you'll use?
- Not really, we're just gonna try to guesstimate.
- Guess facial features.
- Yeah, and build and height I guess.
- I'm gonna make random adults make out
to see the chemistry,
to see if that's really the couple, you know?
Just saying, just a warning.
- [Instructor] Can I have all the parents
file on out there?
- You really got people that look like parents.
- They together?
Are they standing together
or am I picking which ones...
- [Instructor] You have to pick.
- What?
- [Instructor] I know, it's messed up.
- Oh my gosh.
Okay, that just added it to a whole new level.
I was like, oh I got this.
- I'm Vanessa.
- Iris.
- Hi Iris, I'm Talbet.
- I like your outfit.
- Thank you.
- Did you pick it out yourself?
- Yes.
- What do you wish they would let you do
that you can't do?
- I want a parrot.
- Interesting.
Who's an animal hater?
(laughs)
Not letting this poor girl have a pet.
- Can you smile really big?
I feel like I have a momma here.
- You have hazel-ish, you have green.
- [Vanessa] You have kinda like black-ish eyes.
They kind of have similar noses.
- As a kid, did you have hair on your head?
- Like really fine--
(laughs)
- Once upon a time, yes I did.
- Look into each others eyes very...
Oh, they went straight for hand holding.
Ahh, this is it.
- [Instructor] Alright.
- Is anybody else feeling uncomfortable back there?
No?
(laughs)
- Yeah, so you guys gonna buy her a parrot?
- We're doin' the parrot.
- No.
- We're doin' the parrot.
She's done excellent.
- You got the parrot.
Let's get it, yeah.
You're getting a parrot from them,
whether they're your parents or not.
(laughs)
- How old are you?
- I am nine years old.
- Could you tell us a bit about yourself,
like what are some of your hobbies?
- I like to play video games.
- I'm kind of confused what's going on with this shirt.
Is it like farting thunder bolts?
- My mom actually designed it.
- Oh, your mom's a designer?
- How about your dad?
- He works on race cars
and he was on the tv show Jay Leno's Garage.
- What?
- Your parents are like cool designer, hip parents?
- Yeah.
- That fart a lot?
- Yeah. (laughs)
- He kind of has her bridge and his big nostrils.
- Alright, do you wanna go with this, Vanessa?
- Yes, this is our guess for number two.
- I don't think your mom is here today.
- [Instructor] A single dad?
- Yeah, just dad today.
- Oh yeah, get over here.
- How old are you?
- I'm turning 13 this year.
- Oh, 13, a teenager.
Are you into girls right now?
- Pretty much.
- Oh wow.
(laughs)
I mean with this swag, he's got it.
- Mom, you have Ray-Bans too?
- Yeah.
- Ray-Ban clan?
Can you say, "I love you, son" to him?
- I love you, son.
- Can you say, "I love you, mom?"
- Love you too, mom.
- So sweet.
- Works for me.
(laughs)
- Polka dot blouse lady.
What was your name?
- Holly.
- Holly and Emily.
Can you guys pose like you're a family?
I feel good about this.
Yeah, this is it.
This is it.
- Nice to meet you, I'm Dave.
- Nice to meet you.
- Love the tie-dye.
- Thank you.
- Tie-dye is in.
- You're tall.
- Thank you.
- Are your parents tall?
- One is, one isn't.
- Which one?
- I don't know.
- Help me out.
(laughs)
- Well I'm noticing, Vanessa,
that they're about the same height
so I'm guessing that they do have a husband that's taller---
- Or a wife, Talbet.
- Or yeah, a wife, not to make assumptions.
- Parents.
Can I just see some romantic gesture?
Anything.
Like hand holding.
Can you at least hold hands?
(laughs)
I need you back in the line.
- I think you're mixed with Caucasian, African American.
I've yet to chose.
50-50 chance.
(laughs)
Wait, how many more kids do I have after this?
- [Instructor] You have one more kid after this.
- Oh, one more kid.
It's couples for sure.
- Love the camo, polka dot mom, tie-dye daughter.
Let's get it.
- I feel like some of the bone structure is there.
The eye color looks pretty similar.
Dad.
- Please no.
- Yes, this is it.
- We'll go with this for number four.
- Yep.
- [Instructor] Okay, you guys can get in line.
- Oh boy.
- [Instructor] Alright, bring in our last kid.
- We're not good at this.
- We're definitely not good at this.
- Are you mixed race?
- Yes.
- So that actually works then.
Can I bring them up?
- [Instructor] Yeah, you can bring them up.
- Parents.
We want to give your daughter an experience
you've never given her.
Can you slow dance for us?
Oh, oh.
Look at your parents.
(laughs)
You don't like it?
Can you guys kiss?
One more.
(laughs)
Yeah, they're cute.
There was no hesitation.
- [Instructor] How good do you think you guys did?
- Less than 50%.
- Zero.
- Probably less than 20%.
- This kid is like, who is that lady next to me?
They're not even touching each other
so I know that's wrong.
- [Instructor] Let's go ahead and have everybody
get with your families.
- I hear a lot of walking.
Dang it.
- [Instructor] Take a look.
- Oh my goodness.
- Holy shit.
Oh, sorry, sorry.
- [Instructor] With a show of hands,
who did they get right?
- You did better than everybody else.
(laughs)
- [Instructor] Starting over here,
we'll bring them out one at a time.
- Wait was I wrong?
No, I was right about dad.
- Step-father.
- Oh, step-father.
Interesting, 'cause I was about to say you guys look alike.
- How in the world do you guys usually
get compared as a family?
- I do whenever I'm with the kids.
- Not me, they're like, oh she's so beautiful
are you baby sitting?
Yeah, for the next 18 years.
(laughs)
- Alright, so single momma.
- I was wondering what was it about me
that made you cast me as a lesbian?
- I don't know, 'cause I felt the pressure.
'Cause there was so many parents up there.
Now days there's no real look of what a lesbian looks like.
You just never know.
- Do you ever like, people get confused?
- All the time.
We can be standing at a both at a farmer's market
and someone will turn to him and say,
"Are your parents near by?"
- How does that make you feel?
- Kind of annoyed.
- Yeah.
- I see it so much in all of your smiles.
I got your dad right, right?
Did I get your dad right?
- No.
You picked those guys.
- That's right, I quit.
- [Instructor] What does the daughter and the dad have?
- They have the same smile.
She kind of has a version of their noses.
- And they all have darker eyes.
- Yeah, designers.
- Okay, you designed his shirt.
- Yeah.
- That is awesome.
You have your own business?
You're a mom-preneur?
- More of an empire.
- Empire.
I love it, I love it.
You got strong parents.
- My mom isn't so strong.
(laughs)
- You're just throwing stones at momma today.
- I got them right.
Did not get you right.
- These are your real mom and dad, huh Iris?
Were you sad when I put you with someone else?
- No.
- No, okay.
- Not at all.
(laughs)
- Surprised that you guys picked us, good job.
- Thank you.
- One time at work, this lady asked,
oh that's your daughter,
I said yeah, but she white.
I said look at the mother.
- People get confused at bi-racial kids still.
- Yep, they still do.
- Thank you.
- [Instructor] How was that, April?
- That was horrific.
That was definitely not as easy
as I thought it was gonna be.
I'm so sweaty.
- I thought it was really precious.
I thought I did pretty well.
- [Instructor] Was it fun?
- Yes, it's very hard.
- It's hard, but we got some right.
- [Instructor] You did the best.
That's a wrap.
