Speaking of teenagers, I've arranged to spend time with a bunch of them today. I'm going to get a peek into my future and learn what to expect when those hormones kick in. And I'm going to be honest with you-- I'm very afraid. (SINGING) To all you moms out there, been doing it right. [MUSIC PLAYING] So what do you guys like to do on, like, a fun day? Is fun-- we still use the word fun, right? I like thrifting. Me, too. Going to, like, Melrose vintage store. Me, too. Yes, for sure. No way. Yes, the thrill of the hunt. Yes. You get something no one else has. [INTERPOSING VOICES] Oh, we are so similar. I thought we could go to the mall. Do you want to go to the mall? Yes. Let's go to the mall. I knew it. We're so similar. [MUSIC PLAYING] What worries you as a teenager? School. My future. Everything. Oh, wow, OK. So school-- Yes. Because why? In high school, grades define you. Colleges are so hard to get into. It's, like, a combination of getting grades to get into those schools. Wow. Sometimes it's fun to have a competition with your friends. But when people take it too personally-- Yeah, that happens with us in our household and we play Catan. We're so similar. I have two little girls, you guys. They're four and six. Aww. I know, right? But they're not that smart yet. They can't even say the word specific. Spuh-siff-ick. Buh-cif-- --ciff-ick. Skiff-ick. Stiff-icks. [LAUGHING] Suss-spick-ick? No. Puff-ick. Suff-ick-ick. Very close. Do you guys get along with your parents? For the most part I do. Sometimes. It depends. Yeah. Yeah, it depends. Depends, right? Depends a lot. What's one thing you've never told your mom? I won't tell. I have a scar on my forehead. And I told my mom that I hit a door, but I actually snuck into this guy's house through his window. And then I-- OK. [LAUGHING] And my mom like-- With the intent to hang out? Well, we were just like-- [LAUGHTER] Well, we were actually-- [LAUGHTER] Actually, we were just watching a movie. Yes, of course. I remember one of the first times I ever drank. My mom was out of town, and I think I was 16. And I had, like, six friends over. But we were sneaking beers. And at the end of the school day on Monday, I got a page from my mom. And I was like, oh, [BLEEP]. And I called my mom, and she was like, get home right now. And I was like, oh no, oh, no, oh, no. And I came home, and I walked through the door. And she had her arms folded, and she goes, I was out of town for two days, and you did not do one single load of laundry? Oh, my gosh. And I was like [GASPS]. And then I was like, I am so sorry, mom, I'm so sorry. But I was very nervous. Oh, my gosh. So stressful. Do you guys say "like" a lot? Oh, for sure. All the time. All the time. OK, let's have a contest. OK. Let's see if we can go three minutes without saying the word "like." OK. These classes where they're, like, you have, like, the option is college-- I'll just say, be respectful of other people. Like, just don't get into other people's business. Like, just mind your own business. Yeah. But I find it also matters a lot for, like, your future, like especially Califor-- It seems like parents and teenagers are on different wavelengths, like parents are operating to have control, because they're fearful. And teenagers are operating to have independence, because they're growing. Yeah, and when my mom always goes, Julia, do not do this, then it makes me want to do it. Of course it does. Oh, we are so similar. Yeah. Here's a question. I will buy a frozen yogurt to the person who can tell me what time it is. OK. It-- oh, wait. Do they teach that in school still? Oh, we're here, girls. We're here. [MUSIC PLAYING] [GASPS] You guys, it's like they knew we were coming. All right, get in front of here. Get in front of here. I'm the photographer now. Hold on. Hold on. Oh, that's a picture of me. Hold on. Oh, it's a video. Why do moms never know how to use cameras? [LAUGHTER] Oh, God. We've got to post it, or it didn't happen. [CAMERA CLICKS] [CAMERA CLICKS] Put this in your pocket. Don't. That was a test. OK. (SINGING) I do my hair tall, check my nails. Baby, how you feelin'? Feelin' good as hell. Hair tall, check my nails. Baby, how you feelin'? Feelin' good as hell. Ooh, that was fun. Let's do that again. (SINGING) And do your hair tall, check my nails. Baby, how you feelin'? Feelin' good as hell. Hair tall, check my nails. Let's get some froyo. Oh, my gosh. What a coincidence. You guys, your moms are here. Oh, no. Oh my God. [INTERPOSING VOICES] Oh, my. Oh, my. Let's go see them. I got to spend the day with your lovely daughters who have been, I will say, nothing but respectful, and kind, and open. So cheers to you guys for raising those kinds of women. Thank you. You're very welcome. They have all said that they are friends with you. And the other thing I learned is that they feel like they want you to trust them a little bit more than you do. [LAUGHTER] But I will say, in my limited time with them, they seem pretty darn trustworthy. Yes, they do. They are. They're good girls. So do you guys have any advice about raising young women so that they can turn out like the result you guys got? Make them all keep coming to your house. Be the house. Be the fun house. Yeah. Yeah, get to know all of their friends really well. Oh, that seems so tedious. [LAUGHTER] No, it's real good. OK. I've learned a lot of valuable lessons today. (SINGING) We can make it right. So go and let it all hang out tonight. And do your hair tall, check my nails. Baby, how you feelin'? Oh, no. [LAUGHING] Uh-oh, watch this. [LAUGHING] It is good. That's a mom. Problem solved. Nothing a little frozen yogurt can't fix. Am I right? [LAUGHTER] Yeah. Actually, can I get a-- ah, much better. [LAUGHTER] Nice. I'm a mom, guys. [LAUGHTER]
