Mike Quote #364
Quote from Mike in Hecking Order
Mike: Would you say our parenting style is proactive, authoritative, or democratic?
Frankie: Oh, no, no. You're trying to rope me in to doing it, and I'm not doing it. Not my homework.
Mike: Aw! Come on.
Frankie: Lonely at the top, isn't it, boss man?
Mike: You know, Frankie, the truth is, the kids don't always listen to me either.
Frankie: You're just saying that 'cause you're stuck on a question, but it's not gonna work.
Mike: No, really. Axl is in his room right now eating a ham on his bed when I told him not to four times.
Frankie: Oh, that's okay. We'll have the last laugh. I got it at the Frugal Hoosier. [laughs] That thing expired two days ago. [both laugh] Relaxed.
Mike: Huh?
Frankie: Our parenting style... Relaxed.
Mike: Thanks. Try and work in the word "scaffolding" somewhere. I don't know what it is, but Mr. Wilkerson will like it.

Quote from Frankie
Frankie: Hey, Mike, your kids have the crazy idea that in the hierarchy of this house, you're in charge.
Mike: Okay.
Frankie: Okay? Okay? Wait. You agree with that? You think that's accurate?
Mike: I don't know. I just got home. It's not inaccurate.
Axl: See? That's what I said.
Frankie: What? Why? What, because he's a man and I'm a woman? Why would you think he's in charge?
Sue: Well, he's scarier.
Brick: And he pays the bills and stuff.
Frankie: Okay, first of all, we are equally scary. We're equal in everything. We are equal. Just, look at the chart!
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: [v.o.] It was my fault, really. I'm the one who had the bright idea of family dinner. Actually, Oprah had the idea in her magazine. Oprah, who doesn't have kids.
Quote from Axl
Sue: Do you really think it's bad being the oldest?
Axl: Are you kidding? Mom and Dad have been all up in my business ever since I was born. When I started high school, they were all, "How's it going, Axl? How are your classes? Who are your teachers? Who are your friends?"
