- (sighs) She won't stop crying.
- I'll just get in the backseat.
I get a little car sick back here, but it's fine.
We brought the wrong binky. (fast-paced music)
- You brought the blue binky?
The blue binky is trash.
- We need the green one.
- Yeah, yeah. The green binky is the car binky.
And the blue binky is the crib binky.
- We need to turn it around.
- Yeah, we've been on the road for over an hour,
but if we don't get the green binky, it's over.
- Crib binky. Ugh.
Here. Here's your sippy cup. (inquisitive music)
Here's a snack.
Take a snack.
Stop hitting your brother.
Here. Here. Here.
Take some snacks.
Just take it.
I brought these for me, but you just take it.
I don't know if sharks have butts.
Will you just eat a snack?
My shoulder's starting to hurt.
I'm gonna need physical therapy
from reaching backwards so much.
Here. Here, take it.
- All right, front seat Freddy up here with dad.
Look at you, big guy.
Now we can kind of dish the tea,
fill some of the hot goss.
Seriously, like, who are you shipping in your grade?
What's up with Trevor?
Is he still throwing you shade?
You and Trevor-
Is Trevor being a Chad?
Do you have a friend named Chad?
How's school?
Fine. That's one, one word.
Tell me one thing that happened today.
I don't care. Like it-
It could be I stood up from a chair.
Like, I'm starving for your information and you give me
fine every day. (door slamming)
Oh, so you're just gonna- Okay- I-
So just text me when you want me to come get you
if you're not ready.
Love you.
He thinks I'm cool. (hand tapping)
He thinks I'm cool.
- Break, break, break. (tense music)
Break. Okay, break. Break. (deeply exhales)
Honey, I know it says right on red,
honey, but you have to stop first.
You have to stop first before you-
Okay. No, not-
Don't stop now.
Right on red means stop.
Then you go.
No, you're doing great.
Don't you worry about it.
(deeply inhales)
Ooh.
Okay, you keep saying YOLO.
I don't think you know what YOLO means.
YOLO literally means you only live once, okay, honey.
You're doing great. You're doing great.
I just- You're doing great.
Be careful of the children
and the dogs and the cars and the people.
Okay, you just missed that mailbox.
Just oonch over a little bit.
Okay. Not that much.
Just oonch. Like-
No, no, no. Back this way.
Okay, remember, speed bumps
are to help us slow down.
Don't accelerate.
Don't accelerate and-
Okay.
Yeah. Okay.
- Okay, bye honey. Be safe. (inquisitive music)
- Just wear your seatbelt and just look both ways
and all the ways and just-
You're gonna do great. You're gonna do great.
- So that's it, she just drives herself now.
- When am I gonna get all the gossip?
- Let's make sure she's okay.
- Well, she just drove away.
- Yeah, this is Find My iPhone.
Look, she's at the stop sign.
- Did she stop all the way?
- Just stopped right now.
- We shouldn't be hovering over the phone
tracking on her.
- You're right. I, I trust her.
(sighs)
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- I just don't trust
the other people on the road.
- Oh, she executed a left hand turn.
- She made it to the highway. Good girl.
- Well, at least we have a lot more free time
on our hand when they're driving.
- [Mom] Yeah. Well-
Ooh. You know, we do have to watch this
until she gets there. You realize that-
- [Dad] Obviously, we're gonna watch
the entire thing. - [Mom] And-
And then when she gets home, we have to
- [Dad] And we'll just- - monitor her drive there.
- [Dad] Right, yeah. The whole thing.
We're doing the whole thing. - [Mom] Tons of-
Tons of free time now. - [Dad] Yeah,
I love the free time. (door squeaking)
- And scene.
You guys, our daughter will very soon...
- Oh my gosh.
- be getting her license.
- We're gonna put our fingers crossed
for that as well. - No, she's a-
She's a much better driver than I was.
- Oh my gosh.
- So parents, so you just-
They get their licenses and then they just go.
- Yeah. - Like, how do you...
How do you not-
- So here's the thing.
- How does this happen?
- Okay.
You just said she's a good driver.
- Great driver. - Right?
Things go wrong.
- No. - Things go wrong.
- No. I'm assuming it gets better, obviously.
- I've heard it doesn't.
I've heard it gets worse.
- Does it get better? - Yeah.
- Or do you-
Are we always...
I think we're always-
We're just gonna be-
Is this it? We're just, like, worried now?
We've gone from, like, having to drive all the-
We're just like driving so much,
but now I think I'd rather drive than be worried.
- Yeah.
We're gonna have to practice letting go
of some things.
We're gonna have to practice letting go
of some things.
- I had to go to physical therapy,
when my kids were little, on my shoulder
'cause I had rotator cuff injuries from this-
We found out it was just my right shoulder.
It was from doing this
and reaching into the backseat looking forward
and just doing this.
I had repeat stress,
like, a repetitive stress injury on my rotator cuff
from reaching into the backseat
and passing juice cups to the back.
That was a parenting moment right there.
I was like, yeah.
And then once they outgrew that
and I stopped doing that,
it was fine.
Never had an injury since.
Anyway. Good talk.
