Erin: piercings? You went shopping for a dress and you got your ears pierced?!

Robin: Chill mom, every girl at my school has their ears s pierced and they are FINE!

Erin: Oh so if every girl at your school jumped off a cliff, would you jump, too? You never mentioned that you wanted piercings! This is not the kind of decision you make impulsively. Nene, I can’t believe you allowed this!

Robin: I've wanted this since I was like 12!! Dad knew, everyone knew! YOU didn’t know, because YOU don’t ever listen to me and you treat me like a baby!!!

And with this ends the Mansfield-Simms rotation :)

Nene: May I?

Erin: I’ve done it again, haven’t I? She hates me.

Nene: She doesn’t hate you.

Erin: I feel like...Jack was so much better at this...I don’t know how to treat her. She’s...she’s so different from me at her age.

Nene: It’s not like there is a manual, Erin. But she’s not so different from you. She may not be a goody two shoes, but I’m telling you, you and Jack have raised a very responsible young girl. She reminds me of you at her age in so many ways. She is just less annoying.

Erin: ...Do you think so?

Nene: Yes...You should trust her a little, and perhaps she will feel more comfortable around you too.

E: Thank you Nene...but you really don’t need to help me.

N: It’s no problem really...I know cooking is not your thing so I figured you’d need some help. That poor turkey deserves better.

Orion: MoooOoOoom, I’m hungry. Can I have something to eat?

Erin: Sweetie, be patient. Harvestfest dinner will be served in an hour.

Nene: Here, Ori, taste this.

Erin: do you honestly think...I’m too hard on them?

Nene: I think you’re overprotective of them, yes. Especially Robin. Look, I know it’s not my place to tell you how to raise your kids, but I really think you need to relax.

Erin: I think...I’m just terrified...she’s growing up so fast. And...whenever she sets a foot outside this house I’m scared. So many bad things can happen out there.

Nene: You know...you can’t protect them from everything , and at some point, you're doing nothing but suffocating them.

Erin:  I know you’re right...Thank you Nene, really...I think it’s really good for the kids to have you around.

Nene: Who would have thought we would make a good team? Look at this, Jacky!
