0:00:02 > 0:00:04Leo, did you nick my earphones?
0:00:04 > 0:00:06No. Your earphones are rubbish.
0:00:06 > 0:00:07They've been in your ears.
0:00:07 > 0:00:08Right, well, I'm borrowing yours.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11Yeah, right. Like you did when you broke them.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13I'm sticking them on my head.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17Living in this house means I get to see a LOT of teenage tension.
0:00:17 > 0:00:18I'm always using technology.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Leo, loan her your earphones.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22- Leo!- I can't hear you.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24He can't hear you. He's wearing earphones.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26- They're only earphones. - But, Mum!
0:00:26 > 0:00:28I can't believe you lot sometimes.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Parents just don't get the teenage mind.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02Look at Mum.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06How do you get through so many clothes?
0:01:06 > 0:01:08There's these too.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11You don't seriously expect me to wash all of this?
0:01:11 > 0:01:13No, this one's dry-cleaning.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20And so I don't waste MY valuable experience,
0:01:20 > 0:01:22I've started a blog on the school net.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26I'm helping confused parents get inside the teenage mind,
0:01:26 > 0:01:28but I'm not using my real name.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30I call myself Teen Fixer.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31I don't want my lot knowing.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34That's why I've got an alarm system.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36A rather noisy wind chime.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41And my privacy tent.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Now, to work on my latest post.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49What to do if your teenager goes all secretive?
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Of course, I'm not a problem teen myself.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Hello, love. Have you been attaching things to your door?
0:01:57 > 0:02:00So what if I have? It's my door.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02To be fair, it's the door to your room in our house.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05You're always on us to use our own initiative,
0:02:05 > 0:02:07and when we do, you complain about it.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Well, maybe you should just ask me first.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Maybe you should just stop interfering, honestly.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Well, that went well.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- What's wrong with you? - SHE SCOFFS
0:02:17 > 0:02:19It's Declan. He's just so keen about everything,
0:02:19 > 0:02:21and so organised all the time.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22It's exhausting!
0:02:22 > 0:02:24So, to translate,
0:02:24 > 0:02:27he really likes you and he's planned nice things for you to do together.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Exactly, so controlling!
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Like, the other weekend, I said, "Let's just hang out and chill,"
0:02:33 > 0:02:36so then he gives me this.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39An itinerary.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41He calls it a chilltinerary.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44How are you meant to relax on a timetable?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Oh, come on, I've seen you two sitting around just giggling.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Yeah, but that's covered by point 5 - sofa banter.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52MOBILE PHONE CHIMES
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- Not again.- Well, he's obviously really keen on you.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Yes. He's also just outside that window!
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Well, there you go.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04He's very attentive.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06No, he's very annoying.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08You just don't understand anything.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Well, so I'm told. Maybe you should explain it to me.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12SHE SIGHS
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Maybe you should just stop interfering.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24Need a hand washing up those peas?
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Oh.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27You all right?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Yeah, I just keep falling out with my prickly teens.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34I have to tread so carefully.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37It was much easier when they were just babies.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40I don't know. When Craig was a baby, I trod in one of his nappies once.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42That wasn't great, either.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44SHE SIGHS
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Hi.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Oh, are you two coming around today?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Yeah. We're actually here now.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Or at least I think we are.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- Are you all right, Sharon? - No, not really.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00How does Franma cope with a house full of teens?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02By off-loading us onto you. I'm going up to see Leo.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Just feel like I'm losing touch with how you lot think.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Well, you could check out this blog.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10It's by this teenager for the school intranet.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12It lets parents understand their mind-set.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15You could write in.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18What? Get parenting advice from a teenager?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- SHE LAUGHS - I'm not THAT desperate.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33MOBILE PHONE CHIMES
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Millie, please will you answer that?
0:04:35 > 0:04:38It's been bleeping all morning. It's driving me mad.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39MOBILE PHONE CHIMES AGAIN
0:04:39 > 0:04:40It's Clifford.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Who's Clifford?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Oh, this big nerd that Millie likes.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45I don't like him.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47I made the mistake of being polite to him,
0:04:47 > 0:04:49when he was showing Jessie his rock collection.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Now he wants to come around and show me a calcite geode.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- What is that?- I don't know.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56And I don't want to know, either.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59If he shows up, I'm not in, all right?
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Oh, all right.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01SHE SIGHS
0:05:01 > 0:05:03No! Declan, no!
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Well, I don't care!
0:05:06 > 0:05:07You can keep on talking,
0:05:07 > 0:05:10but I'm just going to put you in cornflakes.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Well, that was melodramatic, even for Lauren.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20I know.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23The last boyfriend who got a hair-toss that big is history.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27I hope Lauren doesn't dump Declan.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29He's WAY better than the others.
0:05:32 > 0:05:3598, 99, 100!
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Does he ever sit still?
0:05:39 > 0:05:40No.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Hey, Millie, think fast.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Ow!
0:05:43 > 0:05:45He's so energetic.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46He's so cool.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Does he want a drink?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53What would be the point?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55He's so moody.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56He's so cool.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59WHOOPEE CUSHION TOOTS
0:05:59 > 0:06:00HE LAUGHS
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Whoopee cushion! I did that! Boom!
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Brilliant.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05High five.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06SHE SCREAMS
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- HE LAUGHS - Fake hand. Boom!
0:06:09 > 0:06:10He's so funny.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11He's so cool.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17OK, so I know Declan can be a bit over-keen,
0:06:17 > 0:06:18and organised,
0:06:18 > 0:06:21but compared to that lot, he's like Harry Styles.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22I've got to help him.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Come on, Fran. We've got work do.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27What?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33We have to save Declan before he gets the hair flick of doom.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34- Ideas?- Don't worry.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37I'll teach him a thing or two about being cool.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39You were right to come to me with this, Millie.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41There was literally no-one else.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Declan can learn a lot from me.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44You should listen to him, Millie.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45He's a genius.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46I can see that.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48He's so cool.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Jake, what are you wearing?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52It's my game onesie, like Leo's.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53It's changed my life.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55And I'll change Declan's life, too.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59With my teaching, soon his girl troubles will be over.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00Could you teach me about girls, too?
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Ooh, is there a special girl you're trying to impress, Jake?
0:07:03 > 0:07:06I don't know. There might be.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07It's confusing. Stop looking at me!
0:07:07 > 0:07:09It's all right.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11I'll let you sit in when I speak to Declan.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14It's going to be a masterclass...
0:07:14 > 0:07:15In coolitude.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Coolicious.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25I managed to give Fran the slip long enough to check my e-mails.

0:07:37 > 0:07:38WIND CHIMES JANGLE
0:07:42 > 0:07:43What are you doing?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Why are you hiding in a tent?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Because this is top-secret, for my eyes only.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Oh! What is it?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Ugh! Fran!
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Are you the mystery blogger?
0:07:55 > 0:07:56What? No.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57Me?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Actually, yeah, I am.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03But you can't tell anyone.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Oh, no. Keeping secrets makes me stressed.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I get itchy and sneezy when I have to lie.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Fran, are you sure that's not just hay fever?
0:08:10 > 0:08:11No.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Well, whatever it is, you're going to have to suck it up,
0:08:14 > 0:08:15because no-one can know that it's me.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16I'll try.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Well, it is a relief to tell someone, though.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21And I've just had a really juicy question come in.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22Look.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Exhaustedmum17?
0:08:29 > 0:08:31She's got these two kids - Molly and Lara.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34They're a nightmare. They're always kicking off and arguing.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36They sound spoiled.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37Yeah, especially Molly.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39She's a right little madam.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Answering back, storming out, unauthorised hammering.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46She is the worst.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50I'll bet it's that Molly Richards from down the road.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52I never knew she was such a pain.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Well, she's about to get her comeuppance.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Teen Fixer is recommending
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Exhaustedmum17 takes a firm line.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Let's think up some punishments for her.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- OK, what's the worst thing you can do to a teenager?- Hmm?
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Grounding.- Yes.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08Oh! Taking her phone away,
0:09:08 > 0:09:10then saying she doesn't know how lucky she is.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Nice one, Fran.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15How about...
0:09:15 > 0:09:18no Internet privileges?
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Harsh. Poor Molly.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Well, it's tough love, and she shouldn't be such a little monster,
0:09:23 > 0:09:24should she?

0:09:34 > 0:09:38"No Internet privileges."

0:10:09 > 0:10:12Aww. Oh, that is sweet.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13What's sweet?

0:10:39 > 0:10:41you're the best boyfriend Lauren's ever had.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Which isn't saying much.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07cut that right out.
0:11:07 > 0:11:08OK.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Now, instead of being such an eager beaver,
0:11:11 > 0:11:13just act like you're not that bothered.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Not that... But I want to make Lauren happy.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- I want to fill her every moment with...- Stop!
0:11:18 > 0:11:20OK, role-play.

0:11:32 > 0:11:33- DEEP VOICE:- OK, cool.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- SQUEAKY VOICE:- I'm going to go shoe shopping and argue with my mum.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37OK, laters.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Interaction complete.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Good work, Jake. She sounds just like that.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Can I just say something like, um,
0:11:44 > 0:11:45"Hey, let's go disco bowling."
0:11:45 > 0:11:47No. No, no, no.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49See, that's trying too hard.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Rather than planning a date,
0:11:50 > 0:11:53just act like you could go out or stay in, you know?
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Either way, you're cool.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57That is brilliant.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58Uh, uh, uh.

0:12:47 > 0:12:48KNOCKING
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Morning.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Fran, I think Mum's been writing in to my blog.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59I can't believe she thinks I'm as bad as that Molly Richards.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Here's a radical idea.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02Why don't you just tell her the truth?
0:13:02 > 0:13:04No way. Knowledge is power.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06I've got the upper hand now.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07I'm going to fix this.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Oh, no.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Oh, see? She DID reply.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20"Molly didn't have an answer.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22"She looked a bit shocked."
0:13:22 > 0:13:24That's outrageous.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Yeah, terrible.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30See how she likes THIS for an answer.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34"Dear Exhaustedmum17,
0:13:34 > 0:13:36"the more I hear,
0:13:36 > 0:13:40"the more I realise that Molly
0:13:40 > 0:13:43"is a bright, sensitive kid
0:13:43 > 0:13:48"who needs understanding and not punishing."
0:13:50 > 0:13:51Do you have a tissue?
0:13:53 > 0:13:56"Your harshness will lead
0:13:56 > 0:13:59"to bad behaviour in the long run."
0:14:00 > 0:14:03I can pretty much guarantee that.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06I'm not sure this is such a good idea, Millie.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Nonsense. It's genius.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13"Your daughter needs more freedom.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16"You should let her eat junk food,
0:14:16 > 0:14:18"stay up late watching TV,
0:14:18 > 0:14:21"and hammer whatever she likes."
0:14:21 > 0:14:22Right. So...
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Well, who does that sound like to you?
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Sounds like pretty much any kid.
0:14:27 > 0:14:28It's definitely her.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32"There's nothing worse than a meddling mother."
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Oh, I wouldn't be too hard on yourself.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Do you think I'm meddling?
0:14:35 > 0:14:37What? No.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- Who said that? - Millie, on her blog.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Millie's got a blog? Huh!
0:14:42 > 0:14:43They're all at it, aren't they?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45BLENDER WHIRS
0:14:47 > 0:14:49OK, so, I've been practising
0:14:49 > 0:14:52and I think I've got the "who cares" bit down now.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56- OK. Let's give it a test run. - Yeah, if you want.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57Not really that bothered.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Declan, you've got to take this seriously.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Oh, I get it. You're doing it now, nice.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05I think you might be ready for a full test flight.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06Oh! Don't.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08That's exciting. I mean, um,
0:15:08 > 0:15:10yeah, yeah, I'm easy.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- So, how's the blogger's advice working out?- Oh, it's all right.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19I know it's Millie.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22You don't have to cover for her any more.
0:15:22 > 0:15:23Ah! Thank goodness that's over.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27Who does she think she is, telling parents how to parent?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29I know, right?
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Maybe you should say something, get it all out in the open.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Oh, no. No, not going to tell her that I know.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35And neither are you.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38But... But why not?
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Because I'm going to play her at her own game.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Or you could just confront her and we could all relax and move on.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47No. My way's going to be much more fun.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Yeah. I seriously doubt that.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52Bless you.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Mum, what is going on?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Just a nice little treat for my bright girl.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06What's this?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Well, you've been working so hard recently.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12Never off your tablet, doing homework, I presume.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16- Yeah, of course. - Course. So I thought you deserved
0:16:16 > 0:16:18a nice break from all your hard work.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Aww, thanks, Mum.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21Comfy?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24You've got all your new releases
0:16:24 > 0:16:26and the rental runs out in 24 hours,
0:16:26 > 0:16:29so make sure you watch all four tonight.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30But it's a school night.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Oh, I know, don't worry about that.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35But this is like six hours of film.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37I know. You're welcome.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44THEME MUSIC PLAYS
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Oh, I'm going to be so late.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58Why didn't you wake me?
0:16:58 > 0:17:00I thought you deserved a lie-in.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01SHE SIGHS
0:17:01 > 0:17:03- I'll miss the bus.- Have a good day at school, love.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Mum being super-nice all the time is a nightmare.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10I'd rather just be grounded.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14At least you know where you stand with a decent grounding.
0:17:14 > 0:17:15SHE SCOFFS
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- Hi.- Hi. So, where shall we go tonight?
0:17:22 > 0:17:23I'm not really bothered either way.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Either way? What ways?
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Well, I had a couple of ideas but I'm not really bothered what we do.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31OK, cool.
0:17:31 > 0:17:32Hi.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37Well, I thought we could go and see a movie or go and have a picnic.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Or we could just hang out here.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Yeah. Yeah, although I did find
0:17:41 > 0:17:43some great picnic spots and I packed a hamper,
0:17:43 > 0:17:45just casually.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46A casual hamper.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Oh, well, I printed out some of the film reviews.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52And a rough list of possible snacks.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55So you have planned two trips in intricate detail?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Yeah. Can you hurry up and decide,
0:17:57 > 0:17:59cos not knowing's actually really getting to me?
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Declan, can I have a word?
0:18:04 > 0:18:06I was wrong, you're not ready to go this alone.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08What, I thought I was doing pretty well?
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Yeah, I don't know anything about girls, but you weren't.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13But it's OK, we're going to be your backup.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Put in this earpiece.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Pretend it's your music.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- OK.- I'll be on my phone to talk to you through the date.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Now, get back in there before she dumps you over text.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27- All right?- Yeah.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28Got the tunes.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31So where did you get to?
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Oh, um, just...
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Say, "Nowhere in particular," and don't make eye contact.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40Oh, nowhere in particular. And don't make eye contact.
0:18:40 > 0:18:41- What?- Not the last bit.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Uh...
0:18:43 > 0:18:45- Nothing. Whatever.- OK.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46Do you want to go out, then?
0:18:46 > 0:18:48"I don't mind, not bothered."
0:18:48 > 0:18:50I don't really mind, I'm not really bothered.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51OK, well, maybe just for a coffee.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- "Whatever."- Yeah, whatever.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55- Good man.- Good man.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- Good man?- Thanks.
0:18:58 > 0:18:59Let's shoot, eh?
0:19:10 > 0:19:12DOORBELL RINGS
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- Hello.- Hello.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- I've come to see Millie. - Oh, please, come in.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- Thank you, Mrs Taylor.- Please, make yourself comfortable.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Millie, you've got a visitor.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34It's Clifford, the rock boy.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- What's he doing here? - He came out to see you.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38And you let him in?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41You have the freedom to decide who you want to hang out with.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43But Clifford is so dull.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45But that's none of my business.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46I don't want to interfere.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50Millie will be straight through.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57The worst part is - this is all my own advice.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00It's like Mum's getting it wrong on purpose.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Millie, come and meet my calcite geode.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06Wait.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08What if it IS on purpose?
0:20:08 > 0:20:12Mum must know I'm the blogger and she's punishing me with kindness.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14That is low.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15Millie, hurry.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17I've got a rock that looks just like Ed Sheeran.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18Really?
0:20:28 > 0:20:30OK. Act casual.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Don't let them see you.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Declan, if you can hear me, lean back.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Good. Now, don't make any eye contact.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Imagine there's something fascinating on the ceiling.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59So, do you know what you want to order yet?
0:20:59 > 0:21:00Stay on track.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Remember - "Whatever."
0:21:02 > 0:21:05I don't really mind, whatever.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07I guess I'll just order for both of us, then.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Yeah, I suppose.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10Why not?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12OK, good.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Remember - don't be all bouncy.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Let her come to you.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16CRACKLING FEEDBACK
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- MUFFLED:- Hey, did you hear me?
0:21:19 > 0:21:20We're losing him.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23The battery's dead. What do we do now?
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Nothing.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26He's on his own now.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27I just hope I've done enough.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31So, I'll just get anything, then?
0:21:31 > 0:21:32Yeah.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Although they do have curly fries.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36I guess we COULD get curly fries.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Oh, no, no. Actually, if we get two specials it comes with curly fries.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43Or the combo meal and we get free refills and curly fries.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45I'll tell you what, let's do that.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47I'll order for us, it'll be awesome.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49You know what, I'm not so sure that I'm hungry any more.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06I just sort of feel bad about what I did,
0:22:06 > 0:22:08but Mum wasn't exactly straight with me either.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11I think you should tell her the whole truth and apologise.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13You'll feel better. We all will.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Fran, it wasn't all my fault,
0:22:15 > 0:22:19and I think that Molly Richards could take some responsibility.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20See you later.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22OK, I just wanted to...
0:22:22 > 0:22:23Right.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24"Dear Exhaustedmum17..."
0:22:29 > 0:22:30Hiya.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Lauren, I'm sorry about yesterday in the cafe.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I've come to talk to you about a trip to TRNSMT.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Look, I'm not so sure that I want to go any more.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Maybe you should just flog our tickets.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44But I think Declan's come to tell you
0:22:44 > 0:22:46he didn't buy any tickets.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47I didn't?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49No, no, I didn't buy any.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Wait, you didn't get tickets.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54That's what you've come to say, isn't it?
0:22:54 > 0:22:55Yeah. Yeah, no, I forgot.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58See, the old Declan would have probably set an alarm so he could be
0:22:58 > 0:22:59first on the website.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01I'd have set two so I didn't miss the first one.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02But he's so much more laid back now.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04He probably didn't even bother, right?
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Yeah, yeah. No, I didn't bother.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08You didn't organise tickets.
0:23:08 > 0:23:09What were you thinking?
0:23:10 > 0:23:12But I thought you said you didn't want to go now.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Well, I wanted the choice not to be able to go, Jake.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16That's different.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18I can't believe you sometimes.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19OK, look, I'm sorry, Leo.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22I did get tickets.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25I was so excited and I wanted to surprise you.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26SHE EXHALES
0:23:26 > 0:23:28- I'm sorry if I let you down. - What...?
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Are you kidding me? We're going to TRNSMT!
0:23:34 > 0:23:37I really don't understand girls sometimes.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38Nobody does, my friend.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Nobody does.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49I just read Molly's comments on that blog.
0:23:49 > 0:23:50Yeah?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Yeah.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56She said sometimes she could be a bit manipulative with her mother.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00Yeah. I get the sense that, even though they argue,
0:24:00 > 0:24:03she knows her mum wants what's best for her.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05She seems like a smart girl.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- Well played.- You, too.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11I'm sorry Molly's been a bit difficult recently.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12It's fine.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15I'm sure she has got lots on her plate.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19And she's right - sometimes kids can be manipulative,
0:24:19 > 0:24:23but they should remember their parents have had
0:24:23 > 0:24:24a lot more practice at it.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Yeah, I noticed.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31I'm giving up the blog. No more being sneaky.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Fran just couldn't take the sneezing.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37So, I might have to find myself a new hobby.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39There's always rock collecting, I suppose,
0:24:39 > 0:24:43and Clifford is giving me a few to start off my collection.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Let's see. SHE GASPS
0:24:45 > 0:24:47This one really does look like Ed Sheeran.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51And there's Taylor Swift.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56And this one looks like Lady Gaga.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58I could really get into this.
