As usual, the Hecks make me laugh out loud when the show starts off with them running around trying to get ready for school and work. This brings back so many memories of my childhood and it still goes on today. I loved that they had them leave the house yelling and fighting and coming back into the house yelling and fighting at the end of the day.
I also wanted to give an update on the dishwasher. It seems that the dishwasher is finally in the hole and not in the middle of the floor! Anyway, the kids sit down Frankie and Mike and at first, they are offended but then they realize that the kids want to be more responsible and quit having Frankie yell at them and write reminders on their bodies. Also for Mike to stop handing out extremely, impossible punishments.
Frankie and Mike decide to let them start handling their own lives and they begin to love it! Because they are not yelling at the kids all of the time, they have so much time to go and do fun things together. The kids also seem to like it and they are doing all of their work and chores on their own.
This fun comes to an end when, Frankie and Mike are out bowling and they get a phone call from Axl saying that Brick was in the ER because a bug flew in his ear. This happened while the kids were fighting about Sue loosing her coat after promising to be responsible. Luckily, Brick is okay but Frankie and Mike resort to their old ways of parenting and they all start fighting again and the show ends.
All in all, it was an excellent episode and it was fun to see Frankie and Mike happy doing stuff together even if it lasted only for a few minutes. What did you think of the episode? Leave me a comment, email me, or tweet me @TTCWill. Give me your two cents.
