Joanie: Rick, I really feel torn apart by this. We're raising a little stranger. Do you know that Jeff told me he called Mrs. Wicker "mommy" today? Rick: Joanie, it's a very manipulative age. He's going through normal separation anxiety. Don't let him get to you that way. It's just a stage! Jeff: I got it, mommy! Rick: Who's that? Joanie: The Simmons boy. He's babysitting again tonight. Jeff: Hi, daddy! Babysitter: Hi, ya, kid! Joanie: You're right, it's probably just a phase.
