I'm afraid we caught Brian smoking

doesn't seem like Ryan oh I don't know

Judy he is his old man son so what'd you

do bust a little troublemaker in the

bathroom no he threw up and passed out

in the hallway in front of a girl we

think he was trying to impress Brian

this does not seem like you where would

you get an idea that smoking would

impress a girl who cares where he got

the idea Oh a kid made a mistake which

he thought up on his own and I will

personally punish him why were you

smoking I didn't gonna become a member

than never touch a boob each one what

what if I heard that you talked to some

to smoke I am so sorry about this all

the kid does his homework I just saw

they should loosen up a little be a

teenager have some fun I having a smoke

and touching a boobs it should be

ashamed of yourself but then again you

were nothing but shuffle when you will

student so why should I expect anything

else if you as a parent hey honey wait

for us in the car got you not you you

think

fine he was the one smoking listen lady

never talk to my husband in front of my

son like that again and he's not a bad

father he is just a stupid stupid man

the best job you can I mean you're

dependent me to the sounds like it could

go either way I'm working with what I

got you told him to smoke I was just

trying to help him get a girl the way I

got you just get me by smoking well you

know by acting like a jerk you didn't

get me by acting like a jerk either I

dated you cuz you were sensitive you big

idiot I was not sensitive oh alright the

day my dog died you skipped that cheap

trick concert to talk to me cuz you

could tell I was down that's when I

thought yeah you know he's a little bit

of a jerk he's kind of a nice guy too

first time you ever noticed me no

actually the first time I noticed you

you were standing right over there

wearing a tight red Aerosmith t-shirt

blue jeans with a back right pocket

ripped off some guy made you laugh and I

thought if I could make her laugh like

that life wouldn't be so bad Wow just

when I think you're an idiot you say

something so sweet plus you weren't

wearing a bra that day so the ladies

wear off the plane I bet you could still

fit in that Aerosmith t-shirt ah so
