- Oh, Hey neighbor.
- Oh gosh, Kim. I'm in such a pickle.
- What's going on?
- Carol volunteered us to make paczkis
for the church fundraiser. - A putz?
- And I just don't have anybody
to watch sweet little Johnny over here.
- Where's your husband?
- It's a whole rigamarole. - A rigima-what?
- He's gotta work the fryer and I'm going to-
- Well, why doesn't Johnny stay here?
- Oh, are you sure? I just...
I don't wanna impose.
- I'm sure it'll be fine. - Yeah.
It's just sweet little Johnny.
He's just, he's no problem, okay?
Okay. - No, really.
- Johnny, you gotta listen
to your mom. - He can stay.
Okay then. I'll just go get the rest of his stuff.
- No worries.
What are neighbors for? - Okay then.
I just brought over a few things.
- Whoa.
- So I've got his snow pants right here.
- I don't think it's gonna snow.
- I've got seven pairs of underwear and a box of Pull-Ups.
- He's potty trained, right? - Here's his favorite teddy.
He loves this.
His bike helmet. His car seat.
Oh, this is fun. He loves this.
- You gonna be gone for long?
- And if he's hungry, he'll eat whatever you're having.
Just go ahead and put some ranch on it for him, okay?
- Cool.
Cool, cool, cool. - Okay.
Bye, Johnny. Mommy loves you.
Steve, she said yes. Start the car.
(quirky music) (sneakers squeaking)
- Make yourself at home, I guess.
This is gonna be fine.
I haven't forgotten everything.
Do you wanna watch something?
Have you seen "Only Murders in the Building?"
It's so good.
- No. - Probably a little grown up.
What do you wanna watch?
- Um, cato
- "Encanto?"
Finally.

- Hey, can you keep it down a sec?
I mean, this is really tackling
our mental health crisis in America.
Don't you think? (Johnny laughing)
I mean, you're the one who wanted to watch this.
(Johnny panting heavily)
I do have a conference call in a second.
Can you just chill for just a second?
(light music) Holy cow, you scared me.
I'm about to pop on a Zoom call.
Oh, hey, Helen.
Hey, I just got a little situation here today.
What are you doing with your legs?
Not your legs, Helen. No, you're fine.
Please be safe. No, we're fine.
If you can go through that deck again.
Sit down.
- Wow!
- This is conference call time.
Normally my kids just go stare at a screen.
Is there a screen? Did you bring a screen?
(Johnny babbling) No screens?
Okay. Enough of that.
Do you want a snack? I have some leftover sushi.
Does that interest you?
This is really good. It is really good.
- It's yucky.
- I have an entire Atlanta salmon I was gonna do up tonight,
but I can get that started early.
What do kids actually eat?
Charcuterie?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, it's basically like a Lunchable.
We have a lot more in common than you would think.
You're just gonna eat here?
That seem safe?
Wow, you're eating ranch with a spoon.
Yeah, those Midwest genes run deep.
Hey, Johnny, I have to run a few errands.
Do you wanna hang here?
Nope. That's right.
It's not allowed. You should come with me.
(quirky music)
No, no, no, no, no. Hey, this is my seat.
Can you go over to that seat?
I don't remember everything,
but I feel like this is wrong, me and you up here.
You want this one?
Do you go forward or backward? - Forward!
- Man, this thing could launch you into space
and you'd be safe.
Okay, we're good. This feels right.
Okay, I remember these. I'm having some flashbacks.
There's like a back-clip thing.
There's like a side-clip thing.
You know what would be better
is if we just didn't go anywhere.
Let's just not go anywhere.
- Yeah. - Better.
We'll just stay here.
We're just gonna wait out here for your mommy to get back.
Just so we're super ready.
Wouldn't wanna miss her.
- Oh, hey, Kim. Hi, Johnny.
How was it? - Can I be honest?
- I mean, honesty is the best policy.
- I forgot how hard it was to watch a toddler.
- Oh, Kim, you did great. - I did?
- Oh sure.
He's not crying, there's no broken bones.
It's better than most of our babysitters.
Okay, so we'll try this again next week, alright?
- Whoa!
Whoa, whoa. No, no, no, no, no.
- Okay, Johnny, come on. Let's go get in the car.
- I have a jo... I haven't...
Nothing. I got nothing done today.
- Come on there. - You forgot your car seat.
- Oh, don't worry. We'll use it next time.
(Johnny panting heavily)
- I mean, you really are the cutest.
You really are the cutest.
(playful music) (Johnny laughing hysterically)
- [Penn] Oh my gosh, he's picking it back up.
He's so cute.
Best kid ever. - I know.
Can you come back and train our teenagers how to do this?
